The Anti-Forgiveness Mantra

Does forgiveness really need to be part of our lives? — Repeat after me: I don’t owe anyone forgiveness. No one has the right to demand my forgiveness. I do not need to forgive anyone for a damn thing. Demands for forgiveness disrespect my autonomy. Requests for forgiveness are attempts at manipulation. Forgiveness is not required. Ever. I am anti-forgiveness. Forgiveness was not a…

Demanding Black Forgiveness Is Just Another Way To Control Us

Forgiveness is complacency. I cannot be outraged by you and forgiving of you at the same time.

Your Fatphobic Violence is Actively Killing Me — Breaking Normal

We’re going to start with some basics: the united states is fueled by oppression. Every aspect of this nation runs on oppression, which means the united states’ institutions run on oppression. The united states healthcare systems and its minions are no different. The idea of health is based on a…

Birthday Depression 2023

April is my birthday month. This is my birthday week. And here I am, avoiding my phone and barely telling people because my brain is lying to me and I don’t know how to make it stop except to feel how I feel, continue my routines, and wait it out. …

Everybody is Capable of Anything

Re: Jonathan Majors — The first thing I want you to remember is that everybody is capable of anything. We live in a society that has so many hierarchies that work in tandem to oppress and exploit people and predators are frequently protected and rewarded. It is a society that makes it hard for…

We Are Living The Apocalypse

This is where I rant about the fuckery of it all — Every day, I wake up to fewer and fewer human rights. Every day, more fascist legislation is being pushed forward by awful people who want to dictate what life should be, despite the massive amount of harm it is causing nationwide. Every day I’m told that my existence is an…

Pandemic Fatty — AmericaHates.US

I didn’t realize how much I relied on body movement during my pre-pandemic lifestyle. Work-related walking, running errands, engaging in hobbies — I was constantly on the go. But, of course, that abruptly stopped in March 2020. There’s been a gradual increase in where I go and what I do…

White people really think they can somehow opt out of benefitting from and engaging in racism when they can't. They can fight it. They can refuse to accept it. They can call it out, hold other white people accountable, put themselves at risk, but the moment they aren't actively doing that, they are passively opting into engaging in and benefitting from racism. That's the part they refuse to acknowledge - that it is so baked into every aspect of this society that merely going with the flow is them engaging in and benefitting from it. So, yes, it's all of them.

All Skinfolk Ain’t Kinfolk in Wakanda Forever

Namor Can Fucking Kick Rocks — *Warning: Ain’t nothing but spoilers in this bitch. Black Panther 2, Wakanda Forever, was a beautiful ride, heartbreaking but beautiful, just like real life. Taking the time to honor the loss of its star is something one rarely sees in this white supremacist capitalist hellscape. That Ryan Coogler was able…

No Passes For White People

I’ve heard all their bullshit rationales for anti-Blackness, and I’m not entertaining them anymore — I’ve spent too many years undoing the lies of white supremacist patriarchal capitalism. It has permeated every aspect of my life, from the ways I wore my hair, the clothing in my closet, the food I’d deemed acceptable, my size, my skin tone, how I speak, where I live, and…
