I've never loved anyone as much as I love Ursula Le Guin

recently my plug has offered free weed for:

I learned a very long time ago that I could post in English on the Anglo internet about my experience as a sexual minority in the #middleeastandnorthafrica region. I could vent about every slight or slur, every indiscretion, all the doors that might not have closed in my face had I not been who I am. But that all it would do is earn me a seat at a table half the world away, a seat that I would lose the second I said “but my people are still human. But we are Arab women before we are queer women. But we are muslim before we are trans women. But we are imperialised subjects of the periphery before we are bisexuals. But we are ‘combat-aged males’ before we are gay men and boys.” A seat that I could only keep if I show a willingness to betray my people. And I will not. I do not want it. The price is too steep and the value too low.

Hello Ice, I have a question about a fashion style, maybe you can help me. I have an OC who is a Black non-binary woman, and I want her to have a very maximalist alt style, something with lots of trinkets and vibrant colors that may also borrow from punk. The closest style I could find was decora kei; but I remember once seeing a post that talked about a similar style that originated in African-American communities, and criticized how that Afro-American style was seen as “trashy” while decora kei was “quirky” and “inventive”. I want to try and learn more about this style instead of defaulting to decora; unfortunately, I cannot find that post again or anything approaching. Would you or one of your followers have any knowledge on the subject?
