Still thinking about how someone on here told a black man he was "too proud" a while back. Some of y'all need to be bullied

Cops and the FBI raided homes in east Atlanta earlier this week. This is the type of thing we are thinking about when we say the US is always/already fascist.

Sometimes this place gives pre-yahoo tumblr but with fewer pictures, for better or worse

This is a song in my head. It is titled "You Might Need to Getcho Blackqueer Ass out of Texas Sometime Soon."

Oh no, the white feminism movie didn't get enough oscar nominations 🥺

How long would Umar Johnson last in here I wonder 🤔

None of this shit has ever made any sense. When I was a child and I said that, people said that I would understand when I was older.

I am older now. And none of this shit has ever made any sense, still.

They're calling today White Juneteenth Eve 💀💀

@accretionist as a man, I consider you one of "those who oppress" me. Do you take delight in misinterpreting my words?

@accretionist you are not treating me as an equal.

You are twisting my words. You are ignoring my pain. You are willfully ignorant of my experiences of a Black queer southern femme. That isn't equality.

Your oppressors delight in what you say, using your time and energy to attempt to silence or control the words of an outspoken black queer who has always been on America's chopping block.

There is nothing you can say to me that I can take seriously. Take your ass on somewhere.

It's getting to a point where I'm just going to start openly insulting crackers. I'm tired of extending grace to people who want to force feed me the idea that the US can be "saved" through elections.

I could share all the information I have including my own testimonials of being assaulted, silenced, and discriminated against to try to convince y'all that fascism isn't coming, it's already here.

But the thing about it is honkies don't want to know that, they just want to scold uppity negroes

We are in the second-biggest spike of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the data that determined that was gathered *before* the holidays.

Wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces at LEAST. For people like me who already have respiratory issues. For yourself. For your cousin's newborn. For your disabled neighbors. For your community.

"When they go low we go high" is dead. Long live the chair

"We put on some kente cloth and kneeled. What more do you niggers want" is honestly the vibe given by many.

Really starting to understand why my mother doesn't give a smothering fuck about national politics

Do democrats care about black people? Cause it's not giving

As I see posts starting to pivot from celebrating Kissinger's death (and don't get me wrong, I think it's valid to celebrate the death of a war criminal whose actions directly led to the pain, suffering, and deaths of millions), to a discourse on what he did and how it was his JOB to further american (and more broadly western) imperialism I have just a little crumb of hope that folks here are nurturing a growing transnational consciousness and I hope that it leads to more organizing and actions

The same america that permits --more than this, fosters, celebrates!--evil men like him to live long lives despite causing mass death, to enjoy notoriety and consumptive wealth, is the same america (and world) that is foregrounds Indigenous and Black death, suffering, and erasure.

This man stole life from others, and that's what capitalism rewards. Extracting life, labor, and futurity.

I also am thinking about how much longevity this person had in comparison to other, better people. How much healthcare and other resources this man had access to.

The system in place rewarded him for being a piece of shit and that is also something we should think about imo, the ways that power structures reward harmful behaviors. It happens in p much every setting imaginable (including here! 🙃)

Black feminists aren't simply feminists who just happen to be black. Just so we're clear.
