I love how Paris puts all African boarding gates in the worst part of the airport: no charging stations, AC, working escalator, food or bathrooms. very colonizer of them

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth!

People often ask me, β€œWhat is there to be proud of?” And it makes me so bummed for them.

We face a metric shitton of ableism along with other prejudices and marginalization, it’s true.

What i personally celebrate is our capacity for acceptance, endurance, and love. ☺️

lmao I called my local coffeeshop to see if they were open today--my fave barista happened to pick up & she was like yep we're here and also we have almond lemon loaves left [one of my go-to pastries] truly if you want the benefits of being loved you must submit to the embarrassment of being known

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.

Had a long convo about queer rights today with someone who called me from Amnesty International Canada - I knew they were going to ask me for money but by the end of our chat I was like yes please ask me, I will do whatever I can to help. They are doing fundraising right.

Tonight, I am really angry that because of adoption, because of femicide, because of shit that happened before I was even born - I have never had a safe space to go to outside of the ones I have made for myself and it turns out I was never that good at it. Probably that links back to the beginning.

continue to think that white columnists are missing a big and fucking important part of the story of this election (and continue to be uncomfortable commenting about it because black and brown people are doing it better)

I was adopted in 81/82 and was displaced from my home to an orphanage within a day, to a foster home for an unknown length presumably until I was flown by a stranger to the us 6 months and change later. I have also dealt with housing insecurity my whole adult life, I wonder if there is a connection

Good morning to Eastern box turtles. If you see a turtle in the road, help it cross in the direction it was going. Remember, turtles have a plan, and they stick to the plan!

white people have racism running through their blood and if you deny this then youre part of the problem. this shit runs deep. youre taught this shit for generations. and if you claim USA as your ancestry then yes 100% your ancestors were racist and that shit gets passed down just like trauma does

If you make any kind of art and call yourself a "content creator" I will go angry mom on your ass so fast. "Content" is corporate pabulum. You make art. Call yourself an artist, hold your head up high, and don't help bean-counters and empty suits to degrade you. They'll do that on their own.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

Art is literally anything that a person intends to be art. That's it. It is not a descriptor of quality. Art can be stupid, it can be harmful, and a lot of it is just terrible. Still art.
