nonblack people hush. this is not your “history being made”. this is not your victory. i know children who attend MY school who were brutalized by police YESTERDAY and thus the battle continues. black people are still being oppressed and affected by generations of trauma, so seeing you rejoice in a sliver of accountability from a system that functions to fuel mass incarceration of our people offers no joy, solace or solidarity. continue to amplify OUR voices and OUR activism keeping our people alive, safe and thriving rather than trying to claim progress over our corpses
the academic urge to have a breakdown
i love this website because i could say something like richard siken said you’re in the car with a beautiful boy and he won’t tell you but he loves you that virginia woolf wrote yes yes yes i do like you. i am afraid to write the stronger word. and that love has always felt like this and you’re not broken
Enslaved people were actively enslaved. Please avoid the passive language of 'slaves/slavery'.
White people were not passive. They created the constructs. They established generational structures of wealth/power.
White reactionary politics has always been rooted in white supremacy. Always.
we need to go outside and live our fairy tale cover page illustration dreams
i don’t believe much in signs but i texted a friend after a long time and was told that it had been a low point and they were praying for one when i came back as a sign
i don’t believe much in fate but there is a friend i once made and we kept missing our train but i am no longer scared of not talking to her because all this time we haven’t made it long without finding the other again and again
i am not too superstitious but i joked once about catching nazar after having the most comically sad month ever to which a friend said she’ll take care of it and the rain next morning washed away the troubles
i don’t believe much in blessings but there was a day i would have taken one and it came in the mail with perfect timing enclosed within was love trinkets and sour candy and it came not a day too late no matter how long i’d been waiting
i find religion hard to keep i fear it will give me reasons to suffer and complacency to keep suffering but i think i will give faith another chance and put it in my darlings in the love that surrounds me

LOVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART
wish i could go missing for a little bit and no one would freak out and then i could come back and they'd be like "did you have fun going missing" and i'd be like "yeah, thanks" and then i could do that every couple of months or so and it wouldn't be a big deal
