Transformation
queergiftedblack:
The following quote is not my words, but I profoundly agree with them. I get a lot of hate directed at me about the things I post and say and speak to around racism and white privilege. I also get a lot of love and support from POC’s and Indigenous People (IP) (and allies) who also share in my experience and we find ways to love and support each other regardless of all the ...

Sitting in my room, Tumblin’, obnoxiously listening to “whack” Pandora in my pitch black room (void my bright ass screen lighting my room up), with no pants.
This. Is. The. Life.
Oh, so you’re feeling some type of way? Subtagging me and shit. I gotcha.
"Solidarity".
Non-black people: CALL FOR SOLIDARITY!
Black: Cool! Help them out! Signal boost! Go go go!
Black: Solidarity!
Non-black people: ...y'alls is greedy and you seem able to handle it y'all selves.
Black: :|
Non-black people, part II: CALL FOR SOLIDARITY!
Black: Not this time, nope.
Non-black people: SEE?? GREEDY! MONOPOLIZING THE WHOLE MOVEMENT!
Ugh, people who know they need to sit down will find the SMALLEST thing to wrongly call out to derail the conversation - and in the process make themselves look like even bigger assholes.

Today, I walked into your house and stole your big screen TV.
I can tell you right now? You will never get this TV back.
You can spend your money and buy a new one, if you want, but the fact is that I stole your TV.
You’re probably going to be mad. Really mad, in fact. You’re probably going to scream to the rooftops how some jackass stole your TV for...
Cultural Appropriation: Dreadlocks
dumbthingswhitepplsay:

racismschool:
Are Dreadlocks really cultural appropriation?
YES
Here’s why:
Dreadlocks originated first with Jamaican Rastafarians and then in Indian Sages and Yogis. Specifically it was started by holy men. These men renounced all of their worldly belongings (Including combs) and as a result their hair started (and remained) to turn into dreadlocks....

As much as I talk about how society’s emphasis on the experiences produced by systems of oppression is much greater than the persons experiencing it, I also think there’s a habit of overlooking how inherently intertwined someone’s experiences with oppression can be with other aspects of their life… we tend to forget that living creatively, or making do with what we have is...
I like days when the sky isn’t necessarily gray but everything seems bland except for a tint of blue… and it’s even better when it rains, just a little bit, so that when I look out of the window most things seem calm - and I feel calm, at peace, and at ease enough to refocus and regain my energy. Those days are the best.

holy trees, I am so sick and tired of white trans* bodies dominating the scenes and convincing society that firstly that trans* bodies of color don’t fucking exist and secondly that queer and trans* bodies belonging to POC are inherent subscriptions to colonization… when our bodies have been radical for a long time.
so forget this

the product of forcing myself to write for 5 minutes without stopping:
my lover would be my height and my lover would wear clothes that fit their body. my lover would cry during documentaries just to spit fuck this shit the next moment. my lover would hold my cervix like a pandora’s box - accidentally made to accidentally explode. and my lover would kiss my gender and hold my sex - be my...

Make me a vegan diet plan for 2 weeks. And if I like it, I’ll actually try it.
But it’s not so simple. See, I’m poor. And by poor, I mean, your meal plan can’t cost me more than $30 for 2 weeks (and I mean not a cent more).
And I live in the northeast by...

Oh for fuck’s sake, if people don’t stop using the word ‘Caucasian’ when referring to white people I’m going to rename my blog Caucasiandoesnotfuckingmeanwhite.
‘Caucasian’ is a (racist) term incorrectly applied to white people when white people found actual Caucasian skulls (in, you know, Caucasia) which were perfectly shaped and assumed that they belonged...

Hello I’m Micole, and I’m beginning a research project, and hopefully also turn it into a documentary, on the sex lives of queer women/female bodied genderqueer people of color. It’s a short 10 question survey, please give as much detail as possible. It explores both race and gender in relation to queer relationships and sex lives. I seems that this particular topic...

Gandhi is not India.
Gandhi was not a perfect man. He tried to freed India, but he wasn’t the only one.
The Indian uprising was filled with tons of bloody revolts, outright massacres (Jallanwalia Bagh, anyone?), and it was not only non-violence that got freedom from India. Gandhi succeeded where others failed because of his status in India,...

Womp womp. I was going to make a really special post and all. I guess I can still do that.
One, I’d like to thank the 2.8k+ of y’all that follow me - many of which followed me during the days of the great ol asparagus blog, many of which followed me through neutresex, and many of which have just recently started following me. Most days I don’t understand why most of y’all...

According to this, yes.
(I have never in my life rinsed rice of any kind.)
you’re supposed to wash rice? i was probably told to do this, but I don’t think i ever did. also, i can’t cook rice without a rice cooker and i prefer rice on the mushy side, so my turn to make rice never came up that often.
