hi, I’m Trix (20+ yrs old|black), and this is my writing blog where I post imagines and the such.

DNI: minors; on my posts/reblogs that are 18+ (because I want peace of mind).
racists; because ‘fuck you’ that’s why. race fetishists; see above quote in orange for why.
homophobes; because I’m not and never will be in the mood.
terfs, misogynists, & pedophiles
one more time, y’all

black; as in brown skinned
18+ only on posts labeled “18+”; minors dni with those (I’ll just block you)
ALSO FREE PALESTINE
I don’t care about how you might want to argue with me about this, I don’t support genocide and I just want to make my stance on that clear. (Unfollow me if you want, you won’t be missed.)
Once I gather all my links together I’ll be putting resources and information on Israel’s occupation of Palestine and ways to help right here.
USCPR’s toolkit for calls (what you do - in the US - to call for a ceasefire & the end of the US’s support of Israel)
Make sure to state your name and address (& at the very least your zip code when calling) so that your call/voicemail/email is recorded by your local representative.
Here’s global protest information to look into if you are able to physically attend a rally.
Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! (We have spending power let’s put it to good use.)
Siemens, Puma, Garrefour, Ahava, Sodastream, HP, and AXA (a multinational insurance company based in France that provides its services throughout the West) all support Israel. x x
This post gives a lot of info.
Also, protest tips to keep yourself safe out there because the right to free speech in America is a joke. If you can, look into faraday bags (or alternatively tinfoil) to combat the police tracking your cell (but, really, just try not to bring your phone at all). Look into temporary burner phones (that you can discard), and in order to better combat facial recognition wear goggles as well as a mask.

THERE IS NO BLACK LIBERATION WITHOUT PALESTINIAN SOLIDARITY (and FYI Black Palestinian Lives Matter too)
Alright, so, for those who care I’m going on a partial hiatus for a couple of months, starting in April. Which essentially just means that the writing schedule I now go by (two, maybe three, fics a month) will not be in active affect until (most definitely) October.
So I’ll still be posting on here (and reblogging things as I see fit), but some months you’ll get more from me than others. I might post no fics one month and two another and one the next, it’ll just happen when I happen to have a fic ready.
This is just so that I can focus on other things that demand more of my attention rn, and I wanted to provide an explanation for my future absence for anyone who might want one.
In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:
Taylor Farms
Earthbound Farms
Little Salad Bar (Aldi)
Marketside (Walmart)
Kroger House Brand
Target private label greens
Costco salads and greens etc
Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce
Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.
This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.
We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.
are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?
are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?
are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.
Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.
Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.
All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.
After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.
It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.
And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.
The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.
Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.
ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.
Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.
*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.
If you can't offer financial support, please consider donating items of need. Moontime Connections is currently accepting drop-off donations. If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations! They can also bemailed to Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre at 555 West Arthur Street, Thunder Bay, ON, P7E 5P8.
“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:
It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.
You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.
Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.
Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%
During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.
When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.
You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.
You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.
If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.
Please feel free to share this.
And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.
Literally my dad warned me about this yesterday morning(and it seems to mostly effect "processed lettuce".), I had to change my lunch for volunteer program because of it.
I could use this list for reference, thanks @ocean-again
if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite
Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed
this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.
try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.
there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.
also note this is a PARASITIC infection. most diarrhea-causing pathogens you expect to contaminate your greens are bacteria (e.g. e. coli and salmonella), which are a different domain of organism altogether. cyclospora is a protozoan, which is bigger and more complicated than a bacteria (for reference, malaria is also caused by a protozoan). bacterial diarrhea can be dangerous, but you might also expect to weather it and survive unscathed. do NOT fuck with PARASITIC contamination. you should be scared of this one!
tumblr cannot take Any amount of confrontation omg. why are so many people getting on you for Racists Should Feel Scared Of Being Racist. its like antiracism 101.
it’s all “kill all fascists” until someone asks for actual antiracist action. its all “punch nazis” until a Black woman says racists should not be made to feel comfortable in their racism
(and by saying this i’m not saying You were saying Punch Racists, i’m pointing out how insane it is that people talk so much game about being antiracist and are still deeply concerned with white people who “don’t know they’re being racist” or whatever)
Yeah 😅 I don't quite understand it myself.
This year has been the year of me realizing that things like
"racists shouldn't be comfortable being racist"
"saying the n word is not funny nor acceptable no matter what"
"hanging with white supremacists makes you complicit with their white supremacy", and
"no amount of being queer cancels out being racist"
are all apparently things that are just... Too hard to grasp?
And it's really wild because it exposes who thinks they're the ones being pointed out. Because I've never in my life felt the need to defend someone's right to be racist to someone else. Like... Who are y'all fighting for? Who is this imaginary other group that Needs To Be Protected, so badly, that racism just Has To Happen? That it just Can't Be Responded To? And why do y'all always think that We have to be the sacrifice for that?
What CAN I ask you to do? If I can't ask you to kick bigots out your spaces, if I can't ask you to ask questions or hold peers accountable, if I can't ask you to read books or self reflect or give up the occasional form of entertainment... What can I ask of you? How are you gonna help me? Why should I trust you have my best interest in mind when you aren't willing to do ANYTHING that suggests allyship? Why do you think I should trust you?
Please read this because it is EXTREMELY important me (a transgender man) and to other trans individuals.
The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous national law for trans youth called HR 2616.
This bill would ban all Federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names for trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.
Any school that does not follow this will lose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobic Family or just hateful family in general. Trans people are already a group that already has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such a big risk. This bill has rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But, it's still being voted on in the senate, which means there is still time to help stop this.
To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org (look up 2616 in the search bar), one of the most top issues filed Oppose Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students. Once you put in your general location, it will pull-up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them.
If you are a minor and/or do not feel comfortable doing this, PLEASE repost this on here, or any other platform you are on/can find! This needs to be heard and fought against.
Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.
This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:
please consider writing to Prarieland defendants Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, they are both trans lesbians incarcerated in men's prisons for protesting an ICE facility
prosecution established affiliation by way of defendants having fucking anarchist zines, the kind of shit you see in a punk house. this is what they want and are willing to pursue for all of us who aren't willing to lay down and die, imprisonment and torture and the absolute stripping of our dignity (the govt gleefully included their deadnames in a press release yesterday; Morris' public defender has consistently deadnamed and misgendered her despite her legal name change)
there is no one who will protect us except us, and if our sisters are lost to us and forgotten as soon as they are grabbed by the prison system (ie if the system is allowed to work as intended) then we are failing, and we are woefully unprepared for a world where they start taking more of us
Autumn is a loving wife and is interested in religious history and mythology. Write to her at FMC Fort Worth.
Meagan Elizabeth Morris is loved by her wife housemates, and dogs. Her name was legally changed in 2007, but the federal complaint used her
BRUCE BANNER & THE HULK (AVENGERS: EARTH’S MIGHTIEST HEROES)
. ⚛︎ *. ˗ˏˋ ⚛︎ ˎˊ˗ *⠀
❝WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING HAPPY?❞ (Bruce Banner x Fem!Reader) and (background Hulk x Fem!Reader)
Seeing Bruce again, for the first time in months, is like a deep breath of raging winter air: crisp and refreshing and like inviting icy shards down a parched throat to melt.
SFW, established relationship(s), angst & fluff, reunions, recuperation - soft!bruce
The angsty next step. A companion piece to “Just My Luck”. (Pic sources: “Hulk vs The World” - S1EP3 & “Gamma World, Part 2” - S1EP13)
1k+ words
It’s a few hours later, when you’re off the jet and hidden away as securely as you can be in Hulk’s designated room at the Mansion, that Bruce is comfortable enough to be prodded out.
Hulk just satiated enough to let it happen.
“Hold on, you two, we should debrief—” Tony’d tried to keep you. To steer you toward yet another damn meeting room.
Hulk had blown right past him, and you’d tossed out something about letting them recuperate after everything. Glaring at the team over his shoulder.
Tony at least had the foresight to look a bit guilty. Nobody else would meet your eyes. Steve sighs about just letting you both go.
Any big conversations can wait.
They sure could.
You were more than happy to stall. Especially with the sight in front of you acting as incentive.
Hulk shrinking.
Vibrant green flesh shifting to pale flushed skin. Littered bruises visible even before he’s fully left standing.
Then there’s just…Bruce. Shrinking still only because he’s hunching in on himself, not because his mutated body has anymore to do.
Who you’re seeing in person for the first time in far too—
“B-Bruce,” you stutter, voice wet in a way you didn’t plan. The deep breath you take is sticky, your eyes prickle and you blink hard to chase away the blur that’s taken up your vision.
The sight of Bruce, shaggy hair and a tremble in dangling arms, torn prison oranges hanging off gaunt shoulders, is one you want seared into your retinas. Bruises etched into the hollows beneath his eyes but free— not a shackle or shitty military official in sight.
It’s been so long since you’ve had the pleasure of his company you might even beg for it.
“Bruce,” you croak again, watching him blink back into his body.
A few more seconds pass before he responds. Though by the jerk of his head in your direction, you're not sure he’s reacting to your words. More so your presence than anything.
Amber-brown eyes blowing wide once his wandering gaze catches on you provide your answer.
“Ah,” you laugh a little. Sniffling and making quick work of the wetness gathering at the corners of your eyes with your palms. So dramatic, you needed to give the man time to recalibrate with fronting again. With being in control outside of imprisonment and not drugged to the gills. “Hey, Honey,” you coo, more steady than you feel, “you back with me?”
Bruce blinks harder this time. Then he snaps into motion roughly. Breathing out a stiff sigh from his nose.
You don’t know where you find the strength to keep your distance.
“U-uh, hold on,” he rambles, hands scrambling uselessly around his body for clothes to tidy up that aren’t there. He does tug the loosened lower half of what’s left of the jumpsuit Hulk was wearing tighter around his waist, one hand staying fisted in the bundled material to keep it in place, but besides that there isn’t much else he can do.
In the meantime he steals quick glances at you through the darker strands of his hair. Eyes bright even amidst the sunken in bags underlining them.
Each pass of his dusky gaze over you makes you a little less tense, body unwinding and muscles relaxing at his little bouts of attention.
“Bruce,” you call eventually. He’s maybe halfway through attempting to dust imaginary bits of dirt from his shoulders.
“Just— just a second.” He pivots to his head, a slim calloused hand rushing to push the shaggy strands of his hair behind his ears from where they’ve fallen in his face. Or attempting too anyway; mostly he’s only managing to pack too much of the locks behind his ears for it to be able to hold. “I wasn’t really prepared—”
From where he’s frantically clawing at his hair you reach up with an amused huff, flick at his free hand, and take to keeping his hair back yourself.
At your touch Bruce freezes, but he doesn’t stop you from touching him either.
And you certainly do touch him.
Originally you’d only planned to rectify the mistake he was making with his flustered movements. Planned to just brush small bands of his hair behind his ears that would keep the rest back.
Once your hands are actually on him, though, the prospect of letting go feels tantamount to being clubbed over the head. Repeatedly.
Both of your hands have an underlying tremble to them once you’ve gotten as far as combing your fingers through brunette strands. Bruce is kind enough not to comment on the feel of them vibrating over his temples. If he even notices at all.
Fair palms, and dark knuckles stay buried in his hair though, and you take to just using your fingers to keep his hair out of his face yourself.
After that all you both can bring yourselves to do is stare. Two sets of brown eyes intent on one another
Silently, you shift just enough so your palms frame his face at the same time you’re acting as his impromptu hair clip. Careful of your nails, you rub the pad of one of your thumbs across the bruised skin under his eye.
A frown pulls at your dark lips before you can catch yourself. Bruce ducks his head.
“Sorry,” he mutters, the tips of his ears flushing red.
You curb the urge to flick him again only because he looks enough like a kicked puppy as is. Really all you can do is shake your head as your throat clogs with unshed tears.
Bruce glances back up at you and it tightens your chest.
The heavy weight of Bruce’s attention on you — always searching, always seeing more than you’d usually like — is a welcome feeling after so long apart.
“No, don’t apologize,” you say, hands now smoothing out his hair about as frantically as he’d been earlier, “it’s okay.”
“I look like a wet ferret,” Bruce responds, chuckling meanly to himself, “it’s okay if I’m more than a little startling to look at.”
In response you mean to tell him to hush; the snide call of ‘boy’ is already on the tip of your tongue, but then one of his stray glances around your face manages to catch your eye and all you can think about is Bruce.
Bruce and the stern purse to his lips and the ever present worried furrow in his brows. The way his eyes keep bouncing around your face like he can’t settle on just one place on you to look, but can’t bear to look away from you completely either. Bruce and the fact you haven’t seen him in months; that despite you having only been together as a couple for a few weeks being without him for nearly two entire months had felt like a special kind of torture.
“Hi,” you murmur, voice whisper soft and a little cracked. Tucking the hair on one side of his face back successfully, you move your free hand down to cup fully over his cheek. The soft glide of the pads of your fingers and your blunt nails causes him to shiver.
“Been a while,” he murmurs back— voice low and more than a little scratchy.
Falling forward brings your foreheads softly together. Bruce smells like sweat and the stale air you’ve come to associate with prison cells, but you breathe him in anyway.
Been forever.
NOTES: Hope you enjoyed!
Something quick and maybe (hopefully) a little heartbreaking. For your reading pleasure, of course.
btw: if you’d like to leave a comment I’d very much appreciate it!
