Mmm Monkey

everybody say i love you black trans women

Plus, my friend is also trying to escape an abusive situation and I'm the only help she can reach to. It would mean so much to me to get to her so I can watch over her. She's been there for me while I was suffering and I want to be there for her. 💜

I want to get to my friend as soon as possible. She's been going through mental stress from the ER and her parents forced her to work calling her lazy and think she's faking her chronic pain. Which made her spine burn in her body and her mom made her quit her job. It's crazy so she needs me for support her parents are crazy 😭 she's been in a dark headspace, she's been crying to me on the phone for days. So please!

New girl coming up wahoo! hooray!

adding to this. the probabilistic framing is great but there’s another layer: fiction is working under serious time and space constraints. grief in real life might look like eating cereal at 11pm and forgetting to answer texts for a week. you don’t always have a week. so characters end up doing things that are statistically rare but emotionally efficient, and that’s not bad writing, that’s compression. the name-dropping dialogue thing is still a crutch though, because it’s not compressing anything, it’s just substituting for actual voice work. heightened behavior = often necessary. heightened language = usually lazy.

people on here who have been on 10-15+ years like myself...i don't know how they claim that there were never any Black bloggers on here, or that it was always such a white website. trudy gradientlair was on here. thisiswhiteprivilege was on here. there was a feminist citation project sara ahmed was involved in on here. there was someone on here whose username was wretchedoftheearth and that was how i learned who fanon was when i was 12, by googling those words. tumblr was the only place i knew i could go to get accurate & compassionate info about what happened to trayvon martin, when everyone around me irl was rabidly racist. the amount of reportage and scholarship that happened on here before the first big wave of bans was so huge and so much has been lost. where were you when it was happening??? why weren't you paying attention??

it's cause they never engaged with non white bloggers so they never noticed them disappearing. they got the tumblr they wanted, and those of us who aren't liberal/conservative fandom bloggers were robbed of our black and brown friends, and worst of all black and brown bloggers were robbed of a dpace that once was a legitimate vector for talking about black issues. at least some members of staff know what they are doing, it's like the war on drugs in this website the way they crush black people on this website.

I am going to make rant art about something I noticed and I need you all to engage with it in good faith or so fucking help me.

Did not realize that the background saved transparent. My bad for those who couldn’t see it.
