Just so you know - anti-tmi
Pooping and periods are wack. I just want to poop in peace - I don’t need all of this extra shit (no pun intended).

This is taking place at my school and I am furious. Under the American with Disabilities Act any school district (with the exception of a deaf school) that hires her will have to provide an interpreter. It’s ridiculous that the school is not allowing her to have an interpreter in the classroom when she will have one while she is...

CDC on racial differences in drug use:
“White high school students are seven times more likely than blacks to have used cocaine; eight times more likely to have smoked crack; ten times more likely to have used LSD and seven times more likely to have used heroin. What’s more, white youth ages 12-17 are more likely to sell drugs: 34% more likely, in fact than their black...

Feeling obligated to explain my identity to anyone is just bait to get me to doubt myself, entertain the /system/ that has the power to crush me regardless of how I define myself. So hell no, not today, not tomorrow, not yesterday.

Any time I see texts with regard to the colonization of Hawai’i that isn’t written by conscious historians or indigenous peoples, etc, and I see shit like “on july 7th, 1898 Hawaiians were granted U.S citizenship” I’m just like I’m sure they didn’t ask for that shit.

I’ll be in Myrtle Beach, SC from March 31st to April 6th. I’ll be there with three other friends (all of which have informed me that it’s going “DOWN” and it’s going to get “HYPE” and it’s going to be “RATCHET” I’m only quoting those words because they wrote it in caps…).
Holla?

Don’t ask us to fulfill a role that you are not equally willing to fulfill. Example: You ask us to stand up with you against someone of your ethnicity being treated unfairly, we do. Then you remain silent when we ask you to return the favor.

Parties are awesome… until you leave them and jesus christ not only do you feel tired but you also feel super lonely.
Alright y’all, I’m at Amelie’s (or at least the cafe area in the back) and someone let a bird inside and I’m worried it will never be able to get out.
