Iโm begging yโall to mask not just for Covid but a mask ban is a hardcore infringement on our rights that everyone seems to be glossing over on top of the fact we are headed into an even deeper surveillance state why do you think they want to ban masks!! Iโm begging yโall please
work well under stress meaning (and I know this is hard) try to avoid your phone falling below 20% and try to avoid leaving your phone on the charger once charged!! Ideal battery range is always 20-80% (like donโt leave your phone on the charger overnight!!)
~ This might seem obvious but a lot of us donโt do it but SPACE!! I know you have apps from 3 years ago you donโt touch and photos/files you donโt need clear that out!!

Im sorry but not a single cell in my body actually believes that shooter was non-binary not a single one I fully think his team is pulling this over as a PR stunt to avoid certain charges & if Iโm wrong then oh well Iโll eat my words but.. BFFR yโall.. like cmon
I want to bring up my annoyance in this bc black southerners and indigenous people have been living this โcowboyโ lifestyle since the dawn of time it only got attached to fascism when rich ppl & celebs took ahold like itโs a trend & not a literal way of life for ppl
I love queer people I love queer expression after being in a room full of queer people unapologetically expressing themselves Iโm slowly fully realizing I donโt have the space for non queer ppl in my life anymore really Iโm tired of feeling like I have to restrict or conserve

Dropping this: If you live in NYC I canโt express how important it is to wear a mask on the train now if you wonโt do it for COVID anymore at least do it for your own safety from the AI tracking software theyโre testing I canโt tell you how dangerous this is probably going to be
I really wish yโall would stfu about southern states bc yโall 1) have no idea what itโs like to live there 2) never see the progressive work or activism that people do down there 3) black southern culture is literally the blueprint for yโall
After spending weeks..months in my head about my gender identity Iโve come to the conclusion that gender is the most useless & stupid social construct ever created
Every time a black person is killed all yโall wanna do is sit there & ruin their character. Why? Does this justify them being gunned down? But god forbid a white person is murdered & they could be the LITERAL devil but yโall will find a way to paint them as an angel. Iโm so tired

I pray for the ABSOLUTE PEACE of this student. I pray that everyone stops misgendering them & I hope they know they did nothing wrong and stood for EXACTLY what they should believe in. Iโm so so tired of seeing black students black listed for speaking up for what they believe in

I dunno feeling all sorts of blessed from life rn PhD program I got into is fully funded, found out thhhhee Roxane Gay teaches there ๐ฉ, feeling super supported in my work I could cry!! (I am)
No one takes my pronouns seriously & it pains meโฆ โI donโt get it if you just dress feminineโ first of all I donโt owe you androgyny stfu secondly I can wear 6 in heels & a mini skirt & feel more masc than your father like a legit man I will crush you sit down and stfu jfc
I donโt like when yโall make jokes about queer people who have โfound godโ bc yโall have NO IDEA what thatโs like and as someone who grew up in the rural south deep In the Baptist churches it feels brainwashing and I promise you itโs not funny theyโre getting their lives derailed
Hereโs the tiniest snips of my performance that I can actually post here (the rest is nsfw and for free!!?) yโall I put my heart into this โจ felt so full and whole after last night ๐ฅนpls enjoy!! If you care to see more or the full performance will send you my burlesque/pole ig!
Some of yโall are hella rude/mean bc you think itโs quirky and cute but itโs not & thereโs no need for it?? It cost nothing to be kind/compassionate or understanding like?
I think some of you should recognize the privilege you have by getting to choose whether or not you participate in discourse or not bc it doesnโt impact you specifically or directly
Bro.. I just cried about the tax out of my check and payin over 8 dollars for eggs.. and youโre telling me my money is going to the NYPD..so they can stand their at train stations & harass innocent ppl and do absolutely nothing???? Yeah defund defund defund Iโll scream it daily
NEWS: My god. $820 million. NYC taxpayers will pay *$820 million* in just overtime for NYPD this year. Could instead house all 14,000 homeless families in NYC. Then years of rent for 7,000 families out of work & at risk of eviction. With millions left over.
So Iโve struggled for a while with my sexuality ~~ when I first came out I came out as bi/pan but I knew in the back of my mind I didnโt feel the same or really any attraction to men I kind forced myself into it for some normalcy/for my family & some very internalized homophobia
Imma say this I understand not everyone is able to have the privilege to have help and parental support but yโall making it weird that someoneโs parents ARE helping them and doing their literal role as parents is the WEIRD PART bc what?? god forbid you become parents are you

Iโve been biting my tongue on this but !!! Lately Iโve been getting a little tired of the white butchfemme community bc itโs like we (the black queer community) give yโall an inch and you want to take a MILE?? Like boldly claiming slurs that are not yours to claim, infiltrating
NYU really isnโt shit ~~ how are you kicking students out dorms?? What if they have no where to go?? Canโt afford a plane ticket?? Canโt get their stuff home like??? Not to mention trying to send them home when NYC is a hot spot for this virus rn && theyโre gonna carry that home
but over the years Iโve become much more comfortable with myself stopped giving af about others opinions including my family & IM HAPPY TO SAY Iโm indeed a full blown a homo ~a lesbian~
