My thing with Always Sunny is that if in your FIRST episode you were okay alienating Black viewers, then I wasn’t meant to be your audience anyways. You didn’t want me here if that’s how you START the show.

I'm so cute, I had met my now-partner and i really loved talking to them and we celebrate a year next month. They were indeed meant to enter my life (and they aren't going anywhere 🥰).

lol… I really did so much damage to my mind, body, and spirit by overworking myself. The year it’s taken to BEGIN healing is so scary. I have no idea how much longer I had before the damage would be irreparable.

This older lesbian keeps trying to get me to be proud of my “womanhood” and my breasts and my lesbianism. It was actually easier to tell her I like men (probably not true, but she accepted it) that that I’m nonbinary and have never dating a cisgender in my life (she has refused to hear it)

Remember that video of Chloe eating dinner with burna and 7 of his niggas… still disturbed by that bc what was going on and why did she spend all of December looking spaced out and surrounded by at least 3 members of his homie-harem. Where the fuck were the women.

I didn’t even up having to crowdfund but a few days ago marked 1 full year of traveling and today I finally have glasses that work! There isn’t hot glue and super glue and floss and rubber bands holding my vision together! The lenses don’t fall out! I’m free!

This year I’m spending each month with one of the 12 permaculture principles to reflect on its meaning and to integrate it into my life. The choice to start this project/meditation has so much to do with my relationship to abolition. open.substack.com/pub/anansiso...

2020 Abolitionists: aesthetic reforms and platitudes won’t move us forwards Reformist: You’re making us look bad. We’ll get to you later. 2025 Abolitionists: we haven’t moved forward. How about now? Reformists: You’re making us look bad. We’ll get to you later.

My most important advice is that teas are really great for your health but they don’t all taste good. So just cover the taste with hot chocolate powder! It’s not like the health benefits disappear, you just also have cocoa now.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

This summer my partner and I (both non-binary) were talking to this man but when we told him that fucking with us was not heterosexual he was in shock, got afraid we wanted to touch his booty hole, and then panicked and stopped talking to us bc my partner asked if he liked nature

I have tried all year to get new glasses and I have not had enough money at any point. I’m on and old prescription and these are literally hanging on by a thread. When I figure out the best price I can get I’m gonna start posting to raise $. All I want for Christmas is 20/20

saw someone post that tiktok is the last social media app with free speech and I'm confused how the site that makes people say "SA" "unalive" "seggs" "🍇" and "jenny side" is a bastion of free speech

My partner growing up in Ireland is so funny because when we show each other classics from our childhood the juxtaposition goes crazy

It’s my first time doing a Bluesky post for #mutualaid but I’ve exhausted my options. I need to make it to payday in a week but I have to leave this housing by tomorrow at 12pm EST. If you can help us reach our goal of $80 by then, please give or share! Currently @ 5/$80 (thanks K)

Unironically, Di ddy is a big part of the hyper commercialization of hip hop. He is instrumental in creating the culture of hip hop that exists today, including and especially its tendency to shield abusers.

Made a second set of ⭐️ Star Pride 🏳️‍⚧️ clay eyeglass charms for my lil’ sibling and I to match! Mine are the chunky ones! • #Clay #AirDryClay #AvesClay •
Image of Ave wearing a pair of flat clay star-shaped charms handing down from their rainbow airbrushed colored heart-shaped glasses. Each charm has three stars; blue at the top, white in the middle, and pink at the bottom. Ave has brown skin and their hair in two afro puffs, each with a yellow star pinned on their hair. Ave is smiling while facing the sun and standing outside against a background of trees.

I have had my worries about the American education system for a long time but I am really scared for the future right now. In all my mother’s 25 years of teaching (solely in inner cities), I’ve never left a conversation with her feeling like the situation was THIS dire.

Not a historian but I did my thesis on depictions of school gun violence in teen television. Nightmares became a problem. I handled it with oui’d, tween TV, and cartoons.

Don’t tell me that you, an adult with financial independence, are controlled by your parents or that they’re talking to you any type of way. Don’t piss me tf off. They can’t control you, you’re just obeying them.
