This old lady at the voting station was in the most adorbs pink cardigan and when I asked βwhereβd you get itβ she said βI made itβ and she told me where to get the wool and the pattern and she didnβt even question if I could knit let alone cable-knit she just believed in me
During this time, during this Ramadan, many of us will be fasting in solidarity with the genocides in Palestine, Sudan, Tigray, Congo, Lebanon and Syria
I got flamed today on stream because this is how I toast my bread. I donβt own a toaster and this alternative method works for me. But somehow I am Satan according to my chat and should rather buy a toaster.
Itβs hard out here, they bullied me π
I will not be doing the accent at Raunchy Renditions BUT I will be telling a story and I am β¨actuallyβ¨ nervous it would be great if you had the capacity support me and the other story tellers ππ½ππ½
When youβre under the thumb of emotional abuse, it takes you a long time to actually wake up to the truth of some things
For a few months Iβve been dealing with the fact that I was assaulted(multiple times) by someone I loved and trusted with everything
4 days left for you to be haraam and have a crush on me because next month Iβll be showered by Allahβs blessings and your crush on me will be lost in sea of many
Some of you are centering yourselves around all the conversations about liberation of violently oppressed people while still refusing to unlearn the whiteness tactics and behaviours in your interpersonal relationships, making you allies in theory and not practice π

You look like you would press the βdemoβ button on the piano keyboard and pretend you were playing the pre-programmed song - you thought this was hilarious, no one else did
And I actually said this before, but I was subbed by a person parading mixed-race identity (while being fully white) in accusation of βbeing better than everyone elseβ when I spoke out about you canβt be an ally only online. Thereβs work to be done in our spaces.
Like why are you criticising Americaβs unwavering support of genocide when you always shut down emotionally, weaponise your mental health and comfort, to avoid the truth - the things you dislike about our society are traits you have to unlearn in yourself

Itβs a lot worse than that, light work and energy work are from indigenous cultures and itβs a case of co-opting ancestral and closed practices as a career, where people of ancestral right would never be able to survive financially doing the same thing. π
And just as I think Iβm over hurdle, more truths become unearthed to me and it shatters me in small and big ways. Itβs not something I need support for right now,( mainly because I donβt know how to hold that)
