Chinese Kids Are Getting Their Parents, Their Parents’ Parents, And Their Parents’ Parents’ Parents Involved In A Meme
There’s a new meme in China, and it’s very wholesome.
The challenge, called “four generations,” includes four generations of family members making an appearance, from youngest to oldest.
A son would call his dad, who then calls his dad, who then calls his dad.
And a daughter would call her mom, who calls her mom, who calls her mom.
The results are super cute.
The videos are being shared on video app Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, under the challenge name, “Four generations under one roof.”

it’s more important than ever to help support indigenous water protectors and anti-pipeline activists. please do what you can - anything helps.
2019 will be the year when society as a while realizes that the deaths of Native people from pipelines, factories, waste dumps, and other examples of corporate greed on Native land isn’t an unfortunate effect of business that corporations aren’t aware of.
Native lands are being targeted for a reason. Corporations and governments want those lands, and are purposely targeting Native people’s lives to get it. These are planned actions and attacks, not unfortunate coincidences and ignorance.
There are many reasons to vote besides electing officials. You might also, say, still technically have slavery in your state constitution that needs to be abolished.
This is one of those posts that just showed up on my dash for no reason.
One of the tags on it said “yikes colorado” and I just want to emphasize that, in fact, there is also still slavery in the US constitution. And it’s not a “technically” thing either.
From Colorado’s state constitution: “There shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted.“
From the US constitution (13th amendment): “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States.”
That is, prisoners can be forced to do work. This isn’t a Colorado problem, this is an entire country problem. Colorado, in moving to ban this, is actually being progressive.
Yep, that is also why after slavery was abolished, in many states black people where carted off for minor crimes or tons of made up ones, just to keep slavery going. Chain Gangs was another form of Penal System Slavery.
And now we’ve got states guaranteeing private prison companies a contracted number of inmates to work for them, a move designed to keep expanding the largest prison system (per population) in world history.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
today is the anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre (Dec 29, 1890). The United States in cold blood murdered Lakota men, women, and children. Slaughtered them and have the nerve to call it a “battle” as if there was any fighting done in return.
Today native people still struggle against the effects of cultural and physical genocide. Our voices are often smothered by others but we are still strong. And we never forget.
seriously though bisexuality being defined as attraction to men and women is a heterosexual’s definition of bisexuality actual bisexual groups and organizations have been defining it as attraction to two or more genders or same and other genders since the nineties and plenty of nb people actually id as bi and refusing to accept how we define ourselves is so absurdly biphobic and heterosexist and jfc it’s 2014 can other queer people fucking realize and acknowledge this
The purple stripe on the bi flag is meant to represent attraction to nb genders and the bisexual manifesto published in Anything That Moves includes the lines “Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature … In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” That was published in 1990. It’s older than a lot of people here, including me, and older than terms like “pansexual” and “polysexual” by at least a decade. Bi history is important.
‘Bisexual’ meant ‘all genders and none’ back in the 1970s when I came out. It’s important to remember that. Maybe the word isn’t quite right now, but the meaning behind it, in my experience, always has been.
It’s 2018 and there are still people who think bisexual is transphobic. This post was written four years ago and is still relevant.
#IndigenousPeoplesDay is an important reminder that ongoing issues facing the indigenous community in the U.S. don’t receive nearly enough coverage by the mainstream media.
