I am always apologizing just for existing and I really need to stop because I deserve to take up space.

I really love interviewing coffee people - so fun. :)

Good opening for our new website, I think. :D

Ending white supremacy isn’t really in the American vocabulary. That is because ending white supremacy does not merely require a passive sense that racism is awful, but an active commitment to undoing its generational effects. Ending white supremacy requires the ability to do math—350 years of murderous plunder are not undone by 50 years of uneasy ceasefire.

Children of color are old enough to face racism when they’re born. Old enough to bear the weight of stereotypes & hate before their little eyes can focus. But somehow white kids are supposed to be too delicate & too shielded to even know race exists because somehow that might hurt them. When your definition of innocent child doesn’t include my babies? I know what you’re on & I don’t have any patience for the lies you tell yourself or your children.

I don’t play WoW, but I find this to be true for most online gaming. I know I refuse to use a mic and talk while playing most online games. I’m not saying it is that way for everything, but for some.

I play WoW every now and then, and I usually play a male character for the exact reasons listed above. I don’t want other players to assume I’m a girl and therefore bad at the game. (I’m bad at the game, but that is totally unrelated to my gender!) I don’t want some skeezeball to say, “You’re the first girl I’ve met who plays WoW, that’s so sexy.” I don’t want any attention, negative or positive, for being a woman. I just want to play the game in peace.
