They fucking bombed Lebanon again. People were at a funeral for people killed yesterday. Uniquely evil.
probably going to be a very unpopular (and long) post, but whatever here goes (scroll to the very bottom for a tldr):
i’ve been a die hard fan and supporter of @taylorswift since pretty much the start of her career. i’ve loved everything she stood for, i loved her music, her representation for women and the queer community.
however, these past few months since the unyielding g*nocide of palestinians committed by israhell has only grown, documented and shared to the world by palestinians themselves, taylor’s silence is now becoming deafening. those tears she cried for women’s rights in miss americana, the way she urged her fans to register to vote so women don’t lose their rights, where is that woman now? where is That taylor when there are women being k*lled, SA’d, miscarrying, having to use tent scraps as sanitary pads, becoming childless, being ethnically cleansed off this earth? where is her avocation for Those women? and not just palestinian women, but women in other colonized countries as well.
she has not spoken up since miss americana about anything that she has previously advocated for, not just women’s rights, but LGBTQ+ rights as well. when queer and trans people have been losing their rights across the u.s., where was she?
i know a lot of people will say “she was protecting herself,” but she is one of the most powerful and influential women in this world, what could she possibly need protection from? she is a white privileged billionaire, and when her fans are asking that she speak up about this g*nocide, she chooses to ignore us.
and i don’t want to hear that she doesn’t owe us an explanation, because she absolutely does. it is us, her fans, that support her in her career financially, we care about the content she puts out into the world and we spend our money on it, we elevate her voice and her art, so why do we not deserve to know if she supports palestinian? why does she not in return listen to and elevate the voices of her fans?
there have been countless artists and celebs who’ve spoken up for and supported palestine—lauren juaregui, kehlani, renee rapp, macklemore, avantika, and more—who are much smaller than taylor swift, and yet their careers have not been impacted negatively, instead they have even more support of those who do not condone this g*nocide. her career will absolutely not be impacted by showing her support, so again, why does she continue to be silent?
i am tired of hearing nothing but silence from taylor. i don’t want to support someone who is okay with thousands of people being k*lled, who is okay with the starvation that 1.4 million palestinians are facing, who is okay with palestinian men being tortured in concentration camps, who is okay with 600,000+ children and orphans trapped in rafah, all by the doing of colonizers, the western powers, and by our own president.
tldr; i am calling taylor swift out for being a hypocrite these last few years, and especially these last few months, when it comes to advocating for women and her silence in the g*nocide of the palestinian people. she really could have made a difference with the power she holds. @taylorswift @taylornation
i’m not very active on here, but i will not be posting taylor content, and on the occasions that i do post, it will be to advocate for palestinians, as well as those who openly support the cause. (i am much more active on my other social media accounts, and if you would like to follow to see more constant palestine content, please let message me and let me know!)

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria
many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!
please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month
Hey so apparently the Trump administration is trying to include Natives in his unconstitutional birthright citizenship end order. They haven't been non citizens since 1924. He trying to fucking reverse the Snyder Act.
A lot, if not all, of his plans impact natives in some way. Remember to keep advocating for native rights.
the blatant disregard for palestinian lives is so fucked up.
Do we think "Israel" brazenly bragging about not allowing humanitarian aid through the border will be enough for people to stop scolding Gazans for making individual/family fundraisers because "it's better to donate to trusted orgs instead" or are they never going to get it?
