no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

for this MLK day every non-Black person on earth is required to watch elliot sang's hour long video essay on the anti-blackness that persists in leftist spaces despite the massive (foundational) contributions Black ppl have made to the global struggle for liberation

No look, because when I say that it takes Conscious Effort every day for me not to throw my hands up at the thought of solidarity? How you quoting MLK, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, Angela Davis, Kwame Ture, and you're antiblack? And you think we haven't contributed to this fight?

Like, I don't ever want to give up on the fight for anybody's rights, not only because they affect mine, but because people deserve human rights regardless. I truly and genuinely believe that, and will continue to fight because it's the right thing to do, morally and objectively.

But MY GOD some of these groups will treat their Black members and allies like GARBAGE and then have the audacity to be angry when we're like "well I don't want to be around you then". I've noticed it's a growing sentiment in Black American spaces. And while I have my many qualms with the failures of Black liberalism, I admit I empathize with the sentiment that is "I'm sitting the fuck down then, because don't ask me for my strength and then demean me. I'm not a tool."

It's gotten very old, being in spaces where we shout for freedom and rights and things I believe in, and then watch those same people we're fighting in solidarity with either 1) be antiblack or 2) do fuck all when someone is antiblack towards us. And then treat us like we're causing infighting or destruction of the movement when we address it out loud. You want the strength of my voice and numbers but you don't want me, and that's unacceptable. That's not solidarity!!!

It's like there's a belief that you cannot be oppressed on one axis and still cause harm to others. Just last year, in Lebanon there was a family that STILL found time to lock their Black slave (because that's what she was!!) in the basement and left her to die. In the middle of a Zionist onslaught. In war-embroiled Ukraine, still having the time to kick Africans off of trains for escape. Just goes to show how deep it runs.

when i was 18 i used to go to plant parenthood for my testosterone with my mom and the protesters outside would yell at me like i was there helping my mom get an abortion

imagining we both walk in but then my mom leaves alone

tragic when a thing gets hate for being 'woke trash' and you look into it and its not even that woke. like cmon man i was promised monacle popping gay commie propaganda. this is just a video game with a woman in it.

worst part of anxiety/ocd is that sometimes your fears actually do happen and you have to wag your finger at i like this still doesn't prove you're right asshole. it's like having a venom symbiote except you don't even get to have gay alien sex
