basically, the way some things are for boys and others for girls, for no good reason.

The fact that I can inhabit these spaces without violent abuse is something I'm expected to see as privilege and a great charity. But the ideal group make no effort to accommodate the Other, and have no trouble taking actions that will harm me without a second thought.

#mondaymorningblues thanks to the vandal who smash sh*t up over the weekend. No one was hurt and nothing was stolen thanks to surveillance cameras and direct line to the police alarm system. Witnesses say suspect was a young white guy under the influence and ran once the cops came. No arrest have been made as of yet. #thingspeopledo #genderfication #Asheville #organicsynergy #hiphopculture (at Burton Street Rec Center)
