Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.

I live in LA. It’s literally the law to keep your lawn nice looking. It’s the law to waste water watering grass that would never have been there naturally. Homeless people go through my garbage on a daily basis.
Yet it’s the law to give potable water to grass? Not the people digging for food in my trash?

white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna
take my skin colour too
and my dark brown lips
take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty
take the oppression too
take the history of colonization that has devastated my country
and the drones that currently devastate my country
take all the bad stuff too
not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits
take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too

Sick and Tired by Shihan.
agreed.
Does that put it into perspective for you?
Seriously. I always have to try to put this into perspective for people. People act like slavery was so distant. My mom is older in relation to my age (she had me at 43), and her father was older when she was born (in his early 50’s) and was born in the late 1800’s. One of his PARENTS was born into slavery. For people like my mom, this isn’t the least bit distant. My mom grew up in the Jim Crow south. History is so depersonalized that people can act like slavery, Jim Crow, and blatantly racist institutions existed in 1800 BC
Okay. Um. Real talk. WE ARE STILL FUCKING AFFECTED BY SHIT THAT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE AGESAND SLAVERY

Brooklyn trans woman dies in suspicious apartment fire
THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — A passerby saw the flames and banged on doors and everyone in the building got out except Lorena Escalera who was found her bed by firefighters using thermal imaging. She was declared dead at the scene by paramedics.
Escalera, who worked as an escort, had two men in her apartment earlier. They have not been found as of this writing however, according to witnesses, the passerby said he saw two men in front of the building arguing when he saw the flame.
Fire marshals are investigating and authorities have deemed the blaze suspicious but have no evidence yet that indicates the blaze was deliberate.
Police say Escalera was a member of House of Xtravaganza — a well-known troupe of trans performers. Other sources say say her stage name was Lorena Xtravaganza.
