Like honestly, I’m going to be real with you, if I’m ever talking about race on here or I’m talking about being Black specifically and you come at me on some foolish shit, I will hurt your feelings.
You trying to derail me talking about issues that I deal with, or trying to speak over me by throwing in “all lives matter” is itself a form of hate and I will speak to you accordingly.
0-petrichor-0 let me take his photos earlier today after he talked me through a psych break. he let me dress him in my nicest lingerie stuffed with flowers and was so patient with me while I silently directed him around and snapped away. they turned out so beautiful.
Eh, I don’t like when people be like “black girls watch out cause white girls getting booty these days” cause to a black girl’s ears it kinda sounds like “watch out because your only value is your fetishized body and once that’s gone you’ll truly be worthless”
seriously, fuck the false dichotomy between Science and The Arts. as if capital-S Science isn’t an art that requires creativity, perseverance, patience, and skilled observation. as if The Arts don’t require rigor, discipline, practice, and attention to detail. as if both aren’t cultural structures that stand on foundations of sexist, racist, capitalist hierarchy. as if they both can’t be used for purposes of enrichment and revolution. i am so fucking over this idea of presenting science and art as opposites, when they have so much more in common than people think.
