I really don't have much going on in my life, except the horrors, so when people ask me questions it feels like a test of some kind

when lizzo said “self love is survival” and when hannah gadsby said “do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation” and when mitski said “i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation”

when audre lorde said “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare”

Straight and gay men regularly sexually abuse trans women because they only see us as body parts. It's not okay to joke about homo- and transphobic politicians secretly liking us. The dehumanization and rape of trans women is not a punchline.

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

I wish y'all put as much energy as y'all do expecting Black people to be the bigger person, into telling antiblack bigots to be better people.

I think it's a... Sign, I suppose, of the comfort of antiblackness, that it's easier to continue to beg Black people for patience, to expect it, feel entitled to it even, than it is to go to your peers and tell them to knock it off. Personally. There's a quote, I wish I could remember it, about the finite-ness of Black Patience. Mm.

THANK YOU!!!

A speech bubble from the club door says "WHAT IF... AND HEAR ME OUT...TWO BOYS KISSED?! AM I THE FIRST ONE TO THINK OF SOMETHING THIS OUT OF THE BOX?!?!". On the wall behind the people there are posters that say "Black people in fantasy settings: the end of the world as we know it", "Two skinny white boys kiss the movie", and "queerbait show with no female characters fan club meeting tomorrow" End ID.
