If you’re a yt person, and you think a POC—ESPECIALLY A BLACK PERSON—is toxic, YOU’RE PROBABLY JUST REALLY RACIST. If you’re a yt person, your eagerness to cancel BIPOC is literal actual racism. Yt people don’t get to cancel anybody but each other!!! If you think people should have learned by now or should “know […]
This is why we don’t need y’all to speak on race issues. We got it covered. Support us by providing resources; don’t take up space. Do you really think our oppression is the same as yours? What about Black women, Black LGBTQIA+ folks, Black disabled folks? Do you realize that institutionalized racism means we’re all […]
MORE BLACK COPS WON’T CHANGE SHIT. MORE LATINX COPS WON’T CHANGE SHIT. MORE WOMAN COPS WON’T CHANGE SHIT. MORE MUSLIM COPS WON’T CHANGE SHIT. MORE COPS FROM VIOLENTLY OPPRESSED GROUPS WON’T CHANGE SHIT. ACTUALLY, IT’LL CHANGE ONE THING: WHO THE F*CK IS PULLING THE TRIGGER. I SAID. WHAT I SAID. […]
Ok, so let me strike down the idea that neurotypical people are risky and bad to have as friends. To presume that neurotypical people are inherently stronger and more equipped to fill the role of “friend” is baseless; even in cases where one is expected to respond in a certain way during a time of […]
If you like “leftbook,” you’re going to love giving money to people who need it! I’m talking to other people who like leftism and have wealthy parents: if you make enough money to have real savings each month and know that your parents would be willing to support you in a medical, housing, or other […]
Now, I didn’t watch the VMA’s—but I did see the photo of Madonna donned in what appears to be a mixture of Imazighen (Berber) jewelry and an especially prominent headpiece that seems to derive specifically from the Ait Baamrane tribe, a group famous for their consistent battles of resistance against colonizers. As I hold a […]
So, I’ve seen a lot of despair about the courts lately, mostly because they are absolutely terrible. The good news is, we have tools for addressing these kinds of problems. If you read your constitution, you will notice two key things with regard to the courts. First, nowhere in the document does it say the […]
A few weeks back, I walked by a woman sitting on the street outside of 7-Eleven, she was shaking coins in a cup and wishing people a happy Sunday. A cop walked out of the store and asked her what she was doing; he said he’d gotten a complaint about her harassing people. (I didn’t […]
A few weeks ago, an Uber driver informed me that when he used to live on Flager NW, he ran out of his house to avoid becoming the victim of a violent crime. To step back a bit, Flager NW is a street in LeDroit in Northwest DC, Ward 5—a neighborhood designed explicitly for whites […]
Ok. Sorry not sorry, but I’m gonna hop on my soapbox real quick. I’m tired of hearing folks get ornery about shifting language—especially surrounding identity, like new pronouns for non-binary folks. The thing is, language shifts. Saying “take a left” as opposed to “hang a Louie,” or “my” instead of “thy” didn’t catch so much […]
