It took me a very long time of following you for me to figure out that you were not in fact a trans woman of color!

OK SO it was pointed out to me that it’s not cool to use women of color and other people I have privilege over to represent myself, icon-wise (MORE ON THIS LATER!! can’t post right now but I have a few things I gotta talk about here), so my new icon = girls with my positionality that I feel best represent me. aka AN ASEXY LADYLOVE STORY. *__*
(I alwyas announce when I change my icon...

It’s not. It’s not it’s not it’s not okay *for me* to go a whole day without doing anything. Stop telling me it is, self-care posters! Stop being cheerful at me! I’m frustrated about non-productive days for a fucking reason and you don’t know better than me!!

[mention of corrective rape]
navimum replied to your post: [discussion of heterosexism, internalized anti-GSM monosexist stuff] ok like another thing with (mis)labeling people’s relationships for them
Honestly if everyone is inherently anything I would say they’re bi…. inherently straight is a ridiculous notion. So. Yes. This.
Ack, I get how presuming a default identity that explicitly permits sexual fluidity for...

ESPECIALLY (mis)labeling them when you KNOW they identify as queer
Do you not get how this enforces the idea that every queer identity is a phase? I mean especially polysexual polyromantic identities, good god yeah, the bottom line is that people are typically eager to do the jump between “oh so you’re straight now?” “oh so you’re gay now?” based on...

no but seriously, I have such a huge chip on my shoulder about fandom’s monosexist bullshit lately.
not all queer women identify as lesbian/gay.
not all queer men identify as gay.
polysexual and polyromantic people exist.
why do you keep erasing them.
being in a canon m/f relationship does not necessarily make either...

[discussion of rape/abuse culture, racism] Strong...
karnythia:
I’ve been tweeting all morning about #rapeculture & #abuseculture, and someone asked me what I meant when I referred to Strong People Myths. I think some/most of us are familiar with the Strong Black Woman Trope right? Right. For those that are unfamiliar with it, it can best be summed up as the idea that black women are so strong they don’t need help, protection, care, or...

Like, punishment for a set period of time.
That humiliating thing that happened years ago? Sentenced to 40 hours total of having it torment you, then oop sentence is done, and it goes away.
Lesson stays learned but the gut-wrenching embarrassment is gone.
True story, the other day I was lying about letting my mind wander, and then suddenly I found myself thinking...

QUESTION: Will I ever instinctively figure out where the character cut-off is for tags BEFORE I have to retype them or try to find some way to work with those unsightly ellipses?

I live a hyphenated existence. South Asian-American. Indian-American. Punjabi-American. Physically, I am also a patchwork of different cultures: I wear jeans and t-shirts, I braid my hair in Punjabi kudiya style, have a nose ring, and wear a bindi, a small colored dot worn in...

No, I do not believe every new identity needs to be evaluated by a panel of identity experts to determine if it is valid or not, because some identities are inherently abusive. I think that is a narrative that prioritizes community agreement over the nurturing of new identities that are intersectionally aware. Your nuanced arguments do not come across in your jokes, your jibes, your...

being told by so-called radicals-
that our stories don’t matter
that we need to focus on the bigger picture
that having a voice (when we’re constantly denied one by society) isn’t activism
that talking about our oppression is infighting and we need to band together
demonstrates that the so-called radical school of thought is not much better than liberalism; dogma that is...

So I'm rewatching the first episode of No. 6
terratic:
I’m not sure why, but I am! And one thing I found interesting is that literally the first line of spoken dialogue is 12-year-old Sion’s teacher talking about neuroscience and a “rat experiment”. At first I was just kind of like “omg cool” with, you know, how Nezumi is a rat and an experiment and evidence that No. 6’s own “experiment” in utopia requires violent oppression outside its...

whenever i write about feeling alienated, and feeling frustrated when activists talk down to me as if i’ve never experienced what they’re talking about, someone inevitably comes along and condescendingly explains to me why this happens as if i don’t understand the thought process. and they justify it. justify the white savior mentality. justify the othering. justify people...

Insiders at the Recording Academy quietly eliminated 31 categories of awards from the Grammys this year, at least 15 of them which are received predominantly by people of color.
Awards for Latin Jazz, Regional Mexican, Banda, Tejano, and Norteño music, all central to Latino culture, were eliminated or consolidated. Awards for Native American, Hawaiian, and Cajun music...
