“For me, my gender is always in fugitivity. You cannot capture what you cannot see, you cannot put chains on what shapeshifts. You have zero power and zero ability to misgender me through using the wrong pronoun because my gender isn’t accessible to you.”
Any sex tape, nudes, or personal private sexual messages that are posted without consent are not for comsumption, curiosity, or analysis.
This is bystander-harassment and sexual assault.
And if you shared any of these materials, you are a predator for perpetuating nonconsent.
THIS IS A HATE CRIME.
THIS IS A HATE CRIME.

HARASSING A BLACK CHILD FOR THEIR SIZE AND WEIGHT IS VIOLENCE. ENCOURAGING A CHILD TO CONSUME WEIGHT LOSS TEA IS VIOLENCE.
Tristan is also a sexual predator. Let’s be clear that Jordyn said he nonconsensually kissed her while she was drunk. You publicly victim-blamed her and said she broke your family up.
Publicly apologize to Jordyn and pay her reparations. Today.
What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault.
Masculine-identified & presenting queer and trans folks are sexually harassed ALL. THE. TIME.
Kodak’s harassment of Young MA happens everyday to other studs, AG’s, transmasculine folks, nonbinary/ genderqueer folks, etc. Destroy one-dimensional narratives of gender violence.
The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is actually the most aesthetically antiblack film of the entire series. And it’s done intentionally by Suzanne Collins and the filmmakers.
The white imagination will always create what it desires — Slavery.

I appreciate all the love, y’all. But in moments like these where people violate my consent and humanity by using my personal pictures as a meme/ joke, I disappear off the internet. This is real life traumatic. I will never be numb to this shit.
To the folks who freeze when confronted by predators who constantly cross your boundaries and then use your fear/ trauma response of immobilization against you/ as implied consent — You are not to blame because your body will not move. You are not any less of a victim.
Is a fat Black child existing more dangerous than giving a child an ineffective slimming tea that’s likely to cause laxative dependency, liver and kidney damage, and constant discomfort?
To society, yes. Most people would rather poison fat Black kids if it made them thin.
And maybe it’s not explicitly sexual assault by how we’ve defined within community. But what is it called in digital space when thousands of people are accessing your body without consent and making public sexual discourse of your being?
Digital violations like these aren’t less real than in-person harassment. If anything, this is worse.
As much as I want to “ignore the haters”, this happens to me in public/ private spaces, in my relationships, AND online. And all I’m doing is existing.

As some know, I was raped in June. I've spent around $750+ (post-assault) just on medical-care alone. I’m asking for my birthday for funds to invest in a therapy program that will help me through my trauma to begin healing.
Honestly I hope Young MA has support and protection right now.
Could you imagine people justifying your harassment with “well you do got a pussy”? That’s fucking disgusting. Does having a “pussy” mean you’re inherently meant for consumption and violence? Fuck these niggas!
This is the devastating realization that being undesirable is a more lonely and unaesthetic version of the same terror desirable people experience in romantic + sexual relationships. Because desirable people are miserable but they have more access to company while they suffer.
My pronouns are they/ them now because the assumption that I’m a woman based on using she/her and how I look is making me want to not be here.

If you’re nonblack and you only give money when Black death is spectacle, when there’s “proof,” or when the world is burning on tv (cause it’s always burning for Black folks), then you’re not doing enough.
Pay reparations to Black people everyday.
This is why ugliness is political as FUCK. People would rather grapple with why someone attractive was a killer than the fact that he hated Black women.
Also being a murderer doesn’t make you ugly. It makes you a murderer. And if he is ugly, it has no bearing to issue.

Delta Security Agent: “Can I tell you something if you promise not to get me in trouble?”

White culture is so fascinating to me. The amount of the interventions random patrons made instead of calling the police or management for help. From grandmas, parents, to everyday citizens — they assaulted this man and put their bodies on the line for CUPS. 😂
We literally don’t have to use people’s weight or height as a means to distinguish who would be an abuser/ who would overpower someone vs. who would be a victim based on size. This man is an abuser because he abused someone. That’s it.
Dr. Volumnia is the OG game maker and “overseer”. What’s wild is that she’s not described as Black in the book, and so Viola Davis playing her character shifts the visual interpretation of how violence is being puppeteered. (She ate this role up btw.)
Because she facilitates
“People need to see this.”
But if Black people die for this picture, get hunted for this picture, get locked up for being identified in these pictures... what did the picture do for Black people? What does the picture do for Black life if it’s used to kill us?
Dill, another Black child from District 11 (Rue’s predecessor), is already infected with tuberculosis before the games start. She’s sick, frail, and quiet the entire movie. We never hear her talk, we never experience her story. We only see her when her sickness drives her to find

And guess what? You don’t give a fuck about Trump’s health. You believe that fatness = ugliness = unintelligence = deserving of death/ already dead. You attribute his fatness as an accelerant AND as a foundation to what you hate. But fatness is not inherently linked to morality.
And last (but really I got more to say) but not least, Lucy Gray is depicted as an ode to Romani people. Girl. Rachel Zegler is white. Why? And all of her “Covey” community was pale AF white. Girllll.
And constantly throughout the film, her racial ambiguity is used to create a
This gang of white tributes is a common theme. I wonder why they’re all the same race and are constantly depicted as having a similar blood thirsty antagonism against tributes of color. Very Birth of a Nation energy.
My essay on suicide was reported on Twitter and on Medium.
Like I said, there is no where to talk about dying. The world says that you’re a danger to everyone else like someone might catch your sadness, might contract your emptiness. So they cage you or silence you.
“Bring our Black men back!”
They never existed.
Black men were never the fantastical gender-ideations you historicize. They were only differently traumatized versions of what racist patriarchy made them into.
Let the violent constructs of cis-heteronormative Black men go.
We're down 25% in recruitment for our military. Why is that happening? We’re focused on all the wrong things. Stop making them take gender pronoun classes. We have to be mission focused.

Imagine having thousands of strangers talking shit about your personal pictures/ Black fat body on multiple social media platforms the same weekend you get raped.
Imagine consent over your body being denied to you everywhere at the same time.
An example of why solidarity with politically-nonblack groups becomes detrimental for Black people.
This title is antiblack ON PURPOSE. It’s designed to target Black people for implied antisemitism, to minimize historical support for Palestine, and to erase Black Palestinians.
*Looks at the death threats, constant harassment, lack of accessibility to space or safety, medical professionals misdiagnosing fat bodies, lack of media representation, and the antiblack systems of oppression that create lethal beauty standards*
Yeah, they’re exactly the same.
An attempted lynching of a Filipino child who is coded as Black (his name Marcus, he’s read multiracially — more on that later) who’s pinned to a wall by his hands before another tribute (white) “mercifully” axes him in the throat.

I’m so excited for Black Male Studies.
Instead of organizing a gender movement for your freedom against the state that imprisons, hunts, and kills you — you’ve decided to create a discipline where you still refuse to read the Black Feminist work you want to critique. Amazing.
Ask yourself if you’re willing to die for us and to die to dismantle this system? Are you willing to learn everything possible about antiblackness and its many forms so that you can dismantle it? Are you willing to give up everything you have to make sure Black people can live?
I constantly laugh at the trauma I experience.
I’ve spent so much of my life dealing with people who never took the abuse and sexual assault I experienced seriously that now, I can’t take my pain serious either. And that’s devastating.

I sat down with the person who raped me and while it was generative... I deeply regret doing it. I deeply regret not existing in my trauma rather than forcing myself to perform accountability and care when I had no capacity to do so.
Our Fat AF! Art Show was a success! Check out the executive summary out now @ ! We suggest that all non-Black folks donate between $50-$200 for full access to the report and that Black folks pay what they can ($20 is recommended). Thank you! 💜
Who said bell hooks didn’t participate in or facilitate harm in white supremacist patriarchal capitalism? She constantly speaks on intervening her own complicity.
There is no such thing as a politically pure revolutionary or scholar. We all live in political contradictions.
“We do not default to becoming survivors because we are able to tell our story. Surviving can be a process, a destination, a title, a marker of resilience, a feeling, a moment, a lifetime. And surviving can also be a world we never arrive at.”
“There is no way any movement to end violence will work if there is not a willingness to rigorously critically examine the place of violence in women’s lives as both victims and perpetrators.”
— bell hooks, the GOAT
I presented my first solo art exhibition, Afrolantica, which illustrated the stories of fugitive slaves in antebellum Virginia. 💕✨
This was truly a milestone that supersedes the final product; it represents the healing I accomplished to get here. 😭
No. We need to be clear, Maxwell also sexually assaulted some of these victims. She is not *just* a sex trafficker, she is a sexual predator and rapist.
bell hooks told us that while white supremacist patriarchy rewards men more — all genders perpetuate and uphold this system.
Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
"There is no possibility of a culture of accountability in a world where Black death is the foundation. When the soil is anti-Blackness, only death grows. When the ground is built from Black cadavers, the only way to freedom is centering Black life."
My favorite thing about Black cis-het men is their commitment to pretending like they can go toe to toe with you intellectually but have to silence you every time you speak or gaslight you to death.
What if folks didn’t speculate that Kristen is moving towards transness, masculinity, or manhood? What if we let gender-sexuality exploration just happen and listen if someone decides to share?

Nancy Pelosi’s statement would only serve an interpersonal narrative for Trump but a systemtic, interpersonal, and ideological impact for Black fat folks the most.

The gag... niggas actually wouldn’t because they also treat their mothers, sisters, & daughters like trash. & when they choose to use relational proximity to temporarily protest misogyny, they’re generally honoring their “possession” of our flesh rather than seeing us as humans.
