#so-treu

i’m barely on here like i used to be but shit, this space was such a big part of my 20s it didn’t feel right to not make a note of it.

esp bc this space more than any other digital space ive been in bore witness to all the times i was openly doubting whether i’d stick around long enough to make it to this age.........

but i did. :) and i have so so so so SO many folks in this space to thank for it. <3

so yeah, 30 bitch!!!!!!!

i ain’t shared it here yet, but i finally recorded a song a lil ways back.

ahhhh my Black n’ Blues teespring storefront is freshly loaded up with new designs that i’m so excited to finally share in this space!!! introducing the ROCK AND ROLL IS BLACK MUSIC series, the #GIVEYOURGUNSTOBLACKWOMEN design, and the IDA B. WELLS/SOUTHERN HORRORS tote! and the infamous RATCHETNESS AS PRAXIS top is once again available!

soooooo i originally was just gonna make this shirt as a one-off, for myself, bc you actually have that option on Teespring! believe it or not.

buuuuuuut then this thing happened where the design turned out to be way more lit than i was planning on? so i figured what the hey, might as well make it available to any and all interested parties........

so! for the next 20 days you can cop your “What to the Slave is the 4th of July” tank top/tshirt/sticker, and it’ll get to you just in time to throw whichever bbq/firework show/family gathering you feel like throwing into potential pro-Black chaos this holiday.

guess what’s back.........back again...........

as featured above on the stunning @missymissydee, @dopegirlfresh and @jmjafrx as well as on Buzzfeed (thanks @ethiopienne!), the Ratchetness as Praxis tshirt is back!!! it’s available in black, pink, and heather gray, and comes as a v-neck tee, unisex tee, long sleeved sweatshirt or hoodie.

annnnnnd introducing: the UPPITY tee (& slouchy tee & long sleeved tee etc.)  and hoodie (hgnng i thought i had included a hoodie in the original selection so i had to make a separate campaign gah)!! 

and soon come: UPPITY BLACK FEMME. lemme just finish the design tho!

you can cop any or all of these at the Black&Blues storefront, which is the teespring home of my new Etsy/vintageufuturistic juke joint/thrift shop, Black&Blues! come check that too, i make scarfs and slang hats and ish, and patches and prints are on their way as well. 

but i digress. the current campaign for the R.A.P. and UPPITY tees goes till March 31, so be like the fresh prince and jump on it!!!

we really didn’t want to have to do this.

especially if you’ve been following me and/or bad_dominicana on twitter, you’ll have seen hints of a conflict. to say the least. specifically of bad_dominicana accusing me of victimblaming, gaslighting, and abusing her, and of coddling my former best friend, who she accuses of rape/”acting like a rapist”.

after roughly 4 months of bearing the brunt of this social campaign of hers, which has been spreading to more and more people within a certain community, and after she doxxed said former best friend last weekend, we’ve decided to set the record straight, and to set one last boundary.

so: The Wider Implications.

there’s a lot of information there, for sure. i’d ask you to at least read the FAQ and the personal statements (including this one).

more specific to tumblr, this ties into why i had to leave tumblr in july, namely my “ex” not only falsely accused me of triggering her and of attempting to assault her, she ran and told the same lie to bad_dominicana. so.

i figured i should share this in this space too.

i fully expect to lose followers and friends behind this. i already have. 

but i won’t be lied on anymore. and i won’t be terrorized.

and like i said. while i previously had plans to leave this space/use this tumblr for archival and aesthetic purposes primarily, no more writing. i’ll be damned if i have some light skinned, one non-black at that, women of color chasing me from this space that i built because they cant handle a dark skinned black woman telling them no, setting boundaries, and purposefully putting distance between herself and them.
