i really think we’re underestimating the effects all the collapse of major media outlets are having on our daily lives. it’s scary for npr to drop their multiple shows and presence on twitter or for buzzfeed news to be shutting down. it’s evidence of what is to come next
i remember staging a walkout & to wear all black in hs when mike brown was murdered. all of my friends declined. i was the only one to walk out of my racist u.s. history class & was made fun of. this is making me cry kids 2day are kinder and more passionate than any of us were
i am once again asking for everyone to stop donating to nonprofits and generalized gfms and to find people and community centers that they can directly donate to instead
lesbians have the most heartbreaking like top 10 anime villain origin stories i’ve ever heard and yet still manage to be the best people on planet earth
i saw a white trans person post a gfm for top surgery and they got it in a day. sai’s gfm still hasn’t met the goal and there have been 1.13 million tweets about them.
hey everyone pls stop donating at the end of change./org stuff it doesn’t go to the thing you’re signing it goes to the website which essentially does nothing !
@FlowerFragile_
then why not hire someone with the condition why do films constantly hire actors who can escape said conditions and get to speak on it in interviews as if they know what it’s like
the reason i have a major problem with people resurrecting oluwatoyin via image every few weeks is because her death was 100% preventable if people were providing the resources and protection to Black non-men like they pretend they do
kelela and lil kim are ceos of “wigs as art and concept and not as giving scalp 24/7” incorporated and the girls need to be having more fun ! less concern about hd lace and more concern about FUN
Reporter: ‘The indictment’s got Young Thug, and a bunch of other rappers. But there’s one name I was expecting to see, and I didn’t, and that’s Jack Harlow. Can you speak to that?’
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis responds:
i hate lesbians man why this girl used to text me every night “look at the moon it’s so gorgeous i hope you can see it from where you are” and now we don’t even speak. make it make sense.
There is a pressing need for more dynamic, representative lesbian media — not the same exclusive stories of pale-faced women falling in love in the different historical costumes and contexts of the past.

the pressure y’all put on non binary people to look androgynous and be a “third gender” is so suffocating. y’all really don’t understand how you make most of us feel when you impose those colonial, white standards on us.
this probably won’t help anyone but if you have adhd too, this is how i write a paper or a piece and usually end up handing it in early or on time without stress:
i’m still unemployed, stuck with thousand of dollars in student loans, and at risk for covid since it’s rising in my predominately Asian and Black neighborhood.
remember when she tweeted “what do you know that angela davis doesn’t”
i can tell you right now she wouldn’t be interviewing andrew yang i can tell you that
thinking of the generations wiped out in palestine & angela davis in “freedom is a constant struggle” saying “deprivation of ancestry affects the present & the future”
ethnic cleansing ensures no one will be alive to tell the tale of the horrors faced or to point the finger
everyone is a big weirdo for quote tweeting this from a literal right wing account and someone who preys on Black tiktok creators constantly like they don’t need the doubling down from Black people too
Lollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love. With that in mind, DaBaby will no longer be performing at Grant Park tonight. Young Thug will now perform at 9:00pm on the Bud Light Seltzer Stage, and G Herbo will perform at 4:00pm on the T-Mobile Stage.
oluwatoyin was a community figure but was failed by her community despite her own commitment to fight for it and care for others. and that’s the role that too many Black people play in your non-Black lives. that has to change.
like why are we even talking about if nonbinary in straight relationships can happen or not. who gives a fuck. when’s the last time you helped a black trans person secure housing, food, medical care or community?
y’all are so weird about frank ocean. i’m sorry if an immediate family member of mine died suddenly i am going to be forever changed. y’all are lucky he left the house. the man sang well and did what he could why is everyone being so cruel and demanding to someone they DONT know
mutual aid serves this exact purpose. it’s not a “donation.” it’s a community commitment to safety and care. people should be asking Black peers of marginalized genders if they have transportation and other basic needs.
that means every time you see a Black person raising funds for a “living fund” give to it. it’s for food it’s for uber it’s survival it’s for basic life necessities. it’s to ensure that we will never have to be put at risk of danger and that we aren’t abandoned.
this is the most self righteous, capitalized example of american individualism and performative activism i’ve ever seen. her face isn’t even prominent in the flyer and is faded into the background.
what crushes me about this is that she didn’t say no like she’s so aware of the harm they’ve both done across their lives but sees that as intrinsically human and in fact the fact that he’s done bad things too shows she herself deserves to be loved the way she loves him YUP
divesting from celebrity culture is a lot harder than it seems when you realize it’s literally connected to everything from entertainment to even a career as a writer
all i have to say is that i know and understand that look well. everyone saying the oscar was for jamie lee as an overdue award….is forgetting angela bassett also has rarely been awarded for her work and it’s been long overdue. AND, she actually acted.
it’s funny how unsympathetic white lesbians and queers are in regards to the genuine frustration from Black lesbians about Happiest Season. why does it bring you joy to dismiss our feelings as “discourse” rather than addressing your own whiteness and how it’s replicated in film
in 2024 i want every so called radical non Black person to become acutely aware of how much they rely on their Black friends, partners, roommates and peers for labor. and i’m not even going to further explain. that’s labor in itself. but tl;dr you all are running us dry.
and the need to tell lesbians who constantly struggle with comphet and those same colonial forces acted upon them that they can be attracted to men is lesbophobic
