The Rivers Flowed Clear and Blue

Okay but genuinely even with my blog being reinstated I don't forgive staff and I don't want to stop talking about how antiblack and transmisogynistic they have been to me. They flagged my specific reblog of a post as mature, it's literally just Black people. This has happened multiple times but this is the most glaring instance of it. They marked @regresstrogen (my other blog) as mature; as soon as I started reblogging pictures of Black people there too. I have been outright called slurs and threatened countless times on this blog alone (I have used this account for less than a year) and every time it has taken them at VERY least 3–4 months to delete the post (or reply). Not even the blog, the post. And that's if they respond at all, which they usually don't. I have to type 200+ characters on a report to explain why calling me the N slur is bad only to not get a fucking response 80% of the time. Come wait with me on the latest instance here. 3–4 months?? They can nuke a trans or Black woman 10+ times in a fraction of that time.

“What’s disability pride?” they asked. “How can you be proud to be disabled?”

I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.
