"You can’t spend two decades referring to other men’s daughters as b*tches and hoes, and then somehow decide that your own daughter is going to be exempt from the game. You, my brother, have given nearly every inch of your creative productivity toward murdering your daughter’s self and public image before she was even born. In other words, you brought Blue Ivy Carter into a world where most of your biggest fans will look at her and refer to her not as daddy’s little princess, but instead as a dirty little bitch. In fact, they will even get paid for it."

"

I’m pro-choice because the personhood of a embryo/fetus is irrelevant: no person has the right to impose themselves on another’s body.

I’m pro-choice because without the right and ability to say no, we lack the ability to say yes.

I’m pro-choice because every child should have the right to be a chosen child, whether or not their conception was intended.

I’m pro-choice because parenthood is way too damned hard for anyone to be forced into it.

I’m pro-choice because people with uteruses are, y’know, people, and capable of making their own decisions.

I’m pro-choice because there’s no way to ban abortion without upping the death rate of women.

I’m pro-choice because intended or not (and I’d argue it mostly is), the outcomes of abortion bans are misogynist and reify patriarchy.

I’m pro-choice because I refuse to tell you what to do with your body, and I wish the same right extended to me.

I’m pro-choice because banning abortion doesn’t help recognize the personhood of children, it removes the personhood of people with uteruses.

Know what’s so funny about this? How the blue-eyed White folks know this is an exercise (as in not real life!) and can’t stand taking the shit people of color deal with for a couple of hours before they’re screaming and crying and storming off. They know it’s fake, and they still can’t deal!

Yet these are the people who are supposedly so much smarter than me, so much more reasonable than me, so much more civilized than me!

She. Goes. IN on these white folks. GOES IN.

“I cannot waste my tears for a white woman who knows that this is temporary…. I save my sympathy and my empathy for those who go through this every day of their lives….”

I know that some of you follow me because you occasionally learn something between my awkward personal posts. 

I’m sorry this isn’t captioned, but if you’re able to, please watch this, esp. if you’re non-POC. 

reblogging to watch when i’m done with my chores.

I’m just blown away.

"But what a lot of parents don’t realize is that when they’re openly worrying about bills within earshot of their children, the kids worry, too. When they hit a certain age, they start to make sacrifices on the family’s behalf, and they feel guilt for the rare small luxuries they’re allowed."

Oh Gd in heaven this hit home. For my birthday one year, Mom bought me a ring with my birthstone in it. When we were suffering through getting the lights shut off, I told her if she needed to, she could pawn to help pay the light bill.

My brother sold his audio equipment and Mom sold my great grandmother’s ring, but they never let me get rid of anything.

"Everybody gets insecure. Nobody is perfect. So you have two options. You can sit there depressed about every little thing that’s wrong with you and be scared to live your life, or you can embrace who you are and be a mothafuckin boss. Life is too short to waste disecting every flaw you have."
