“In the instances when POC say shit like ‘Oh I can’t stand white folk’ or ‘Damn white people’, they aren’t saying ‘Oh I think they are inferior, I want to humiliate them, abuse them, enslave them and wipe out their people!’, they’re saying ‘Damn, after a couple hundred years of white people thinking I’m inferior, humiliating me, abusing me, enslaving me, and trying to wipe out my people, I don’t wanna deal with them.’ The context is completely different.”

The tumblr mobile app fills me with rage that I cannot describe and I am still laptopless. Quick updates on my life:
Seeing a new boy, it’s cool
Got an apartment
Stopped talking to toxic people
Seeing therapist once a week, going well
going to start bartending classes in june
Going to a wedding in omaha next week

Honestly minus money problems and lack of health insurance, my life and my mood are doing so well right now.

I’ve come far and I ain’t stoppin soon.

“If you are a white woman and you want to call yourself a feminist, you must acknowledge that your whiteness affords you a privilege that shields you from a lot. You must also acknowledge that you are afforded privileges that some men in this country do not have. Racism and sexism are tightly intertwined. You cannot fight one while ignoring the other.”

Thu, 03 May 2012 23:10:17 -0500

“Is gender something people need to get? Is it something that can be quantified and assigned values and easily described? Cis people struggle to grasp what it means to be trans—not just nonbinary, but trans in general—and I’m not sure they really need to. The question for me isn’t whether people ‘understand’ gender, but whether they can be respectful about it, whether they can interact with people who are trans without treating us as something abnormal and broken and wrong. I don’t need people to ‘get’ being genderqueer to treat me with respect, to not misgender me, after all.”

Tue, 01 May 2012 16:11:34 -0500

“Of course, it isn’t only women that advertising patronises and panders to because of gender. Marketing aimed at men is just as infantilising, portraying men as inept, incapable, cock-driven numbskulls who blunder helplessly from one moment of life to the next. Every product consumed is made into a tiresome test of masculinity: Can you eat this thing even though it’s massive? Can you lift this despite it being irritatingly cumbersome? How many blades does your razor have? Only four?! What a wuss, mine has seventeen.”

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 20:00:00 -0500

“In general, counterculture is predicated on the idea of disenfranchisement, of powerlessness, of being outside the system. This often requires a certain amount of willful self-invention, i.e. disingenuous affectations of poverty and the denial of privilege. Once you’re dug into that situation, being informed that your words and actions DO affect people can feel like a punch in the nose, because it contradicts the foundation of your being. (I’m speaking from experience here as someone who’s gotten called out on ‘edgy’ jokes in younger days; the gut instinct to ‘stick to your principles’ is real and difficult to examine objectively.) Add that to our society’s never-healthy approach to race, in which we demonize Racists while saying that racial inequity is someone else’s problem, and the results are predictable. Oh yeah, and in 2012, add a dash of internet anonymity.”

Dear Coquette: On dreads.

Dear Coquette: On dreads.:

dearcoquette:

I’m worried that my dreads are wrong and that it’s wrong for me to have them. Historically my culture; be it American, Mexican, or Dutch, does not include dreads. They are also of no spiritual importance to me. I feel that by me having them I am misrepresenting a culture that I do not, in any…
