everyday Black people ask the world, 'do we have the right to exist? are we people? if you prick us, do we not bleed? Aren't we alive, aren't we real, don't we matter??' and in resounding chorus, the world says HELL NO.
But like, we do exist and we are people. We bleed the same blood, we have the same wants and desires as anyone else, we love and we hate and we ponder. We matter, we're real and we count. And I think I'm just very tired of us having to justify our existence on this earth.
“Where are the trans men in history?” See. When you're born a gender that was forcefully married off, who had to live most of their life indoors, when you had to raise children, and had a lobotomy if your family thought you were a tad too odd, it's kinda hard to come out as a trans man now ain't it.
forever my lineage would use his wrong pronouns but not me
OP turned reblogs off but as someone with a crazy wicked scar that's been called "body horror" a few times, I really wanted this on my blog
in fact I think all of these are beautiful, cool, neat, or just neutral. nothing negative about any of it. also goes for implants, I've known people with implants of all kinds be made fun of, but that shit isn't ugly or gross either, it's just neutral and or positive
Shout out to mediocre black people actually. Shout out to black people who are bad at shit. You don’t need to be the best for your life to matter.
Ribbon dancing I was not aware of your evolution 🤯
I see this, and I see where gymnastics was like 50 years ago, and I really wonder what in the world gymnastics will look like in 50 years.
the thing about art is that sometimes you'll be moved to tears by stuff that is not very good

i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.
Every time someone says "I don't pay attention to fandom drama" and the "drama" is a Black or brown person getting dogpiled for wanted to be treated with respect. But then turn around and go "I didn't know that this sort of thing was happening!" Well you didn't care to look, either 😬
I just saw a comment under a post about Long COVID rates that said, "I've never actually met anyone who said they have Long COVID."
Well. First of all. Nobody owes you a list of their chronic conditions. But that comment did make me stop and think about the way I talk about my Long COVID. I realized that when I describe those two years I was down for the count, I use the term "Long COVID," but when I talk about the time after that, I say "MCAS." I've always had MCAS, and when I got COVID in late December 2019 my (theretofore undiagnosed) MCAS went absolutely FERAL.
To be honest, from the research I did at the time (with my body so fucked up, there wasn't much to do between doctors appointments besides researching and fanfic-writing) I wonder how many of what we call Long Covid cases today are actually MCAS cases caused by COVID (...assuming that's even a distinction worth making).
"An observational study conducted by Weinstock et al. [21] shows that patients with long COVID-19 have virtually identical mast cell activation symptoms and severity as previously diagnosed MCAS patients without long COVID-19." [Immunological dysfunction and mast cell activation syndrome in long COVID]
Anyway. I'm curious how many other people say "MCAS" or similar multisystemic diseases rather than "Long COVID."
Also—if you became chronically ill after catching COVID, consider this my monthly plea to try an antihistamine like Allegra or Claritin (drowsy or non-drowsy both work) and an H2 blocker like Pepsid (Famotidine) to see if it helps the pain/inflammation! I remember I'd be maxxed out on a cocktail of Ibuprofen, Tylenol, AND Tramadol and the pain would only "blur" a bit. But then the first time I tried Claritin the pain was GONE in like twenty minutes. Insane stuff.
Ngl, I wonder how many people see me talk about the topic and have convinced themselves I'm saying "The Greeks were all Black" (no) and not "there were Black people in Ancient Greece/there are Black Greeks".
Because as vitriolic as it gets over something that really shouldn't be all that surprising, I'm still convinced that they think I'm saying the former and it's MAGA* Politics: The Classics Edition™ coming into play.
*or well, MG, I guess.

The fascinating thing about the word ‘nigga’ vis-à-vis nonblack ppl that use it and/or want to use it without consequences, is that the majority of them would sooner eat glass than spend one day being considered and/or being treated as a Black person.
If you’re nonblack you can reblog this BUT ☝🏿 don’t act up
They want our rhythm, but they damn sure don't want our blues.
man sometimes i think of the “clanker” trend and its like man some people DESPERATELY want to be racist without actually being perceived as racist. im a Star Wars fan so when i first heard it i was like okay chuckle that’s funny I hate ai and its a reference to a thing i like and then it gained traction and people were saying it with SO MUCH like…enthusiasm and venom that it felt like yall just want to say another word. Its not subtle. Truly an insane internet experience.
Like why do y'all wanna say a slur so bad lmao. Why is the urge to be a bigot "without harm" so tempting to you? I have never in my life wanted to call anything a slur, that I would be so geeked to have the opportunity. Grow a spine and say the slurs you really wanna say, and live with the consequences!
Justin Jordan made a great youtube video about the origins and extent of the trend (people made a lot of robot versions of slurs and of actual Black people). Take care if you're watching because some of the people making the clanker "jokes" he's reacting to didn't do much at all to hide the racism.
