Just Here To Be An Anarkist And Contradict Myself.

i’ve totally fucked up in the past. i’ve said hurtful & damaging things. hell, i’ve been an oversharing, outspoken idiot on the Internet for more than a decade, of course i’ve had problematic opinions because i didn’t yet know any better - nobody is born with a sociology degree, and privileged people often don’t recognize their privilege, and when they’re told about it, they resist it. i’m so grateful that people took time out of their own day (which they totally did NOT have to do; the responsibility to educate does NOT fall on the oppressed) to explain to me why some things i’ve done were wrong. i’ve explicitly apologized, learned, grown, and tried to use my platform to educate my large audience to learn from my mistakes, as well as amplify voices of those i’ve negatively affected. these tweets just made me think about all these things, so i figured i’d share my thoughts on the subject. i’m so thankful for places like tumblr, which provide me with an opportunity to listen, and share perspectives from communities that i think are often disenfranchised or ignored because of systematic oppression. i’ll never be perfect but i can always be better, one day at a time. long story short, who you were or what you’ve done doesn’t have to be who you are today. be better every single day. it’s possible. just some thoughts! 🐛

Growing up, I’ve noticed that a lot of adults who I thought were really smart are actually just full of shit and very confident.

If I was born after nine months, and an hour before me, a premature baby was born after seven-and-a-half months, they would would be older than me despite existing for a shorter period of time.

WE’D ALL JUST BETTER PREPARE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR THE ALBUM THEY’RE GONNA BEYONCE ON US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING NIGHT JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH DMD. OUR REACTION TO DMD GAVE THEM SO MUCH JOY THEY’RE GONNA DO A WHOLE ALBUM ON CAPITOL RECORDS. WATCH. YOU WATCH.
