there's a whole lot to care about!

“the policeman that killed eric garner was charged with homicide” the medical examiner doesn’t deserve a fucking party because he did his job correctly

“his family will get some support though”

a policeman killed an innocent father of 6 and was held accountable for his actions for once in the history of ever. what support? justice? there’s no justice in this because it shouldn’t have fucking happened in the first place and wouldn’t have if he was white

“oh come i really don’t want to make this a race issue”

this is a race issue. if he was white everyone would go apeshit over this and we wouldn’t be clapping our hands because someone actually looked at factual evidence and didn’t let an innocent man’s death slide

when youre really excited about an essay and wanna share with someone but remember that absolutely no one wants to know about your essay or read your essay or care about anything involving essays

sometimes i just glance at passengers in the subway, smile, and think every single person in this train car is gonna cease to be one day and this may be the only two seconds i’ll ever share a space with them, and i get plesantly anxious to take in their posture and sleepy eyes and funny outfits, the tiny lil ones bringing hope into a helpless time, the elegant older women who commute on dirty public transit in neutral colors and adornments in their hair or on their fingers or around their necks, fathers hugging their daughters and sons, and i have to remind myself that if people are slow to get off the train, if they run out out frantically in uncomfortable shoes and heavy brief cases, if they frown, i should just hope they have a better day

i’m so sad when people distance themselves from injustice because they say, “it’s not my fight to fight.” there are respectful things you can do to SUPPORT a cause. if you don’t wrongfully assume authority or identity to something, you can situate yourself in a position where you can speak from YOUR perspective about something that has nothing to do with your individual experience, but everything to do with your human experience which inevitably is your individual experience.

im just tryna have a colorful lil apartment with four rooms: a white bedroom, a yellow kitchen, a blue bathroom, and a gold readin room

[vaiatee]

yo ps i went to the new school today to advertise nyu stuff for my department and even their bathroom smell like secret gardens and tropical coves what is that all about

[vaiatee]

yall need some distance and understanding of how much authority you DON'T have about certain things. it's called respect. lean back and it'll benefit everyone and your development as a person too. that's the power. the ability to negotiate rather than become impassioned and frenzied about something that you lose your sense of self in by colonizing another person's identity. the only thing you can do is fervently speak and act out against the people you are inextricably linked to
