this shit is happening over and over again and honestly i’m getting so scared for my fellow poc. have your camera on you at all times, i’m not even joking.
the moment shit goes down you needa record it, because without that evidence they’ll always believe the white folks.
this is what i mean when i say white women have privilege over men of color. and he knew it. all he had to do was touch her, even if it was to defend his family and they’d play victim. They would and he would get arrested. It’s sad that he couldn’t help them, but i know where he is coming from. They were all powerless. This is so sad.
And this is what i mean by aggressive acts of racism done by white women. Call it as it is–this is aggressive racism. This isn’t thinly veiled or anything, these white women are being aggressive. I am tired of people acting like white women’s acts of racism, are lesser than white men’s, or are “silent” forms of racism. These past few incidents have been aggressive racist white women trageting poc.
Hi! My name is Radek and I’m a 20-year-old trans man from Poland.
I live in a country where the situation of LGBT+ people is not very good and getting only worse and worse. Poland is ruled by a right-wing, nationalist, ultra-Catholic government. I don’t feel very safe here. I suffer from depression and anxiety since I was 12. My ribs hurt really bad from constant binding and I have problems with breathing. My mental health is in a really bad state lately. Since I dropped out of university because of this reason, I get no financial support from my parents. I’m unable to find a job and I barely have any money to pay my bills and eat. The only thing stopping me from living a decent life is my gender marker and metrical name. To change it, I have to undergo top surgery and then literally sue my parents, because that’s how law works in Poland. There is no way I can afford that without a job and even I would somehow find one, it would take me years to save money.
That’s why I decided I need to ask you, dear people, for help. I started an international fundraiser campaign. If you can’t donate, please share. Every help is greatly appreciated! Lots of love for you all!
god my absolute favorite feeling is devouring a book, when you get so into the pages and the words that you have to stop your eyes from skipping lines and force yourself to read every word, when you’re so impatient for what happens next that you can’t sit still while reading, when you have to re read whole pages because you were too busy predicting and anticipating that you missed the actual events, when you read a part that’s too good for words and you have to close the book and scream into your pillow, that’s what reading a truly great book is about and the feeling is even better when you haven’t found a book like that in a long time and then you stumble across one and something inside of you awakens
