I am pleading once again for white liberals to read The New Jim Crow and see how racist policing and law enforcement is 1) bipartisan and 2) the key to how people of color (Black people specifically) are systemically, violently, and purposely kept in check in this country. Begging y'all to see that someone doesn't have to say a slur to be antiblack in the entirety of their belief system, that the status quo you live under is maintained by the suffering (both current and potential) of millions

tips and tricks to become popular:

take interest in the lives of others

be humble and admit when you are wrong

be encouraging in your criticism

secrete silk that can be used to manufacture clothing and textiles

eat aphids. you will be looked on fondly for removing this common garden pest

remember in sonic x when topaz on screen took rouge on a date, have her a gemed ring and then fell on the floor sobbing when they’d never see each other again like they really did that

Dysphoric trans girls who put a ton of effort into their presentation and non dysphoric trans girls who just exist in whatever style they already were. Both are equally valid n deserve love and respect. Neither is gross nor the "wrong" way to be a woman.

Trans girls who are dysphoric but unable to present how they want? Due to safety or sensory or health problems? Due to any reason? Super valid and deserving respect and also I'm sorry girl I wish you strength in that.

Trans girls who aren't dysphoric but feel pressured to conform to gender roles and put too much effort into their appearance just so they're accepted or respected? I'm so sorry girl you deserve better. You're super valid and you're enough of a woman already as is

I can’t plan out any story I write bc the whole story has to be revealed to me in a dream with the acts already unfolded in my mind.
