impromptuonedykedanceparty replied to your post: OK SO it was pointed out to me that it’s not cool…
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!
EEK YEAH that totally gives me pause because misrepresenting myself and my positionality to people like that - making those of you I have power over think I’m posting stuff from the same POV you’re reading it from and not a position of power, or that I’m liking your posts/replying to you from the same POV and not a position of power, etc - is absolutely not what I want to be doing at all! Even if it’s just from the stuff I’m reblogging, that’s really icky of me. You can care about issues w/o framing yourself as the center of those issues, intentionally or no, etc…
ok but I’m running out haha I will save any more posting for later!

Hi, I'm Mona (formerly @awyeahlife)! I mostly post about my fictional passions, particularly those involving girls in love, and I watch a lot of TV/anime. I also do a lot of reblogging and tl;dring! Especially when it comes to social justice stuff; if you don't want to have your squee harshed by discussions of how fiction helps uphold marginalization and oppression, this probably isn't the tumblr for you.
I (half-assedly) maintain a few themed tumblrs which can be found in my links section!
Update, Feb 24 2011: I'm trying to increase this blog's accessibility while still finding ways to manage my own obsessive-compulsive issues with completionism, perfectionism, decision-making, detail fixation, etc. For now, what this means is I'm going to start transcribing the text or dialogue of any comics panels, twitter screencaps, or other images with text in them, and do a quick, rough description of any other important visual details in those images unless I start spiraling into compulsivity. But any textless images I'm going to leave without descriptions, at least for now. If you're wondering what the purpose of image descriptions is, I gave a brief explanation here; if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
