life is very personal

I'm guessing Autumn is jealous of Isi?

not sure if this counts as a straight answer but imagine a local band asks you last-minute to join as their bassist. they’re all kinda fucked up emotionally, because their former bassist suddenly left to become a pop star. but especially the vocalist. You get to know them all, especially the vocalist, who has pretty severe abandonment issues, only exacerbated by this event. vocalist clearly had complex feelings for former bassist, and seems resigned to hate her but can’t actually manage to do it. She never fully gets over it. 6 years later, vocalist reveals she has reconnected with former bassist and is having some sort of bizarre affair with her. Because of former bassist’s former betrayal and how much shit vocalist has talked about her, you’re predisposed to not trust her, and to be scared that this is going to turn sour. your suspicions are confirmed when former bassist hurts vocalist’s feelings and she relapses on coke. A few days later they are dating and your friend, prone to mood swings, is elated. A few weeks after that she wants former bassist to rejoin the band as a guitarist

additional info:

-> “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

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

no one talks about how much of a fight it is to be butch. i want to say it came naturally but it didn’t. because I spent an entire lifetime learning to be the kind of woman my parents could be proud of and when they weren’t I tore myself apart from the inside looking for love in every corner of the world and came up empty handed. but I remember the first moment I ever felt I could breathe. I sat in a barber’s chair. my hair still wet from the cut. spiky remnants of my mother’s pride clinging to my neck and my cheeks. I remember the gravel of the barber’s voice as he said “stop that now you’re gonna make me cry” when I told him I had been holding my breath my entire life. I’d been holding it in right up until the moment I felt his clipper on the back of my neck.

I worked in IT at a private school for a grip, and the fifth grade boys got busted for using a shared google doc named "da chat" to get around the restrictions on messaging platforms almost a decade ago.

Kids. Kids never change
