You Attack My Heart

if any new yorkers has resources for a trans individual who may need emergency housing that would be cool. I'm trying to find resources too

yes this is ok to rb I just need help compiling organizations that might house me in case my parents try to kick me out

ppl w adhd and autism reblog and add what texture is so awful it haunts your dreams its okay if its incredibly specific ill go first: scratching my nails on a car

white sociopathy and fragility is so deeply troubling bc even ‘progressive’ white ppl express it, it’s just so deeply ingrained in them and the concept of ‘whiteness’ that you can’t have one without the other. being called racist is scarier to them than actually being racist, and they’ll have full blown meltdowns when accused of racism bc they can see the social consequences of that accusation - people not wanting to associate with them, people speaking negatively about them, etc - and it terrifies them. dealing w the social ramifications of being racist scares them, but actual racism doesn’t bc it doesnt affect them. if they’re racist and no one notices, it doesn’t hurt them; if they’re racist and people notice, they ‘suffer’ (even though that ‘suffering’ would be justified, and what constitutes as ‘suffering’ to them re: accusations of racism doesn’t compare to racialized people actually, you know, experiencing racism.)

if one more person comments on this saying something like “ummm im a psychology student and this isn’t what sociopathy means :/” or “aktually that’s not why people don’t like being called a racist” im literally gonna snap i have no patience for this shit anymore please use google it’s free these are studied proven phenomenons written about by antiracist academics for decades that you can read about 100% for free on the same internet you are using right this second. stop derailing this post im fucking sick of it

start pushing for prison abolition or at the very least widespread reform right now i mean it. you can’t say “fuck the police” and “all cops are bastards” and talk about alternatives to police, but say nothing about alternatives to prison and the crime against humanity that is the racist drug war and the U.S.’s mass incarceration, the financial machine behind the police industrial complex

obsessed with this girl in my bio class who always brings a full litre bottle of coke to every lesson, today she said “im just genuinely not a nice person” to my bio teacher when he asked her why she swore so much. In year eleven before one of our gcse exams as we were lining up outside the exam hall she came up to me and said “what exam is this” and when i told her physics she said “yeah i think i can do that” and got in line

also it’s so frustrating to keep seeing non-americans say shit like ‘at least i don’t live in america’. like i can promise you people wherever you live are experiencing just as much racism. extremely tone deaf to the situation and complete ignorance of where you live

being apolitical is being complicit. being silent is being complicit. being indifferent is being complicit. black lives matter. black lives matter. black lives matter.
