"And when did writers start needing palatable personalities?"

I fucking hate palatability. But I'm probably just saying that cuz I'm unpalatable AF. 🤣🥲

the perfect victim mentality infects all movements for liberation, including that for animals. I wrote about it here, and why no living thing should have to do a puzzle for u to not want to torture and eat them.

No conversation about crime is useful unless we talk about what causes most city crime: exploitation and poverty.

Any intervention that isn't aimed at reducing the working class oppression that leads to poverty (wage slavery, for-profit housing, over-policing etc) will simply not work

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

Don't believe we can change the world?

It's changing anyways.

Decide what kind of world you want to live in. Daydream about it. Write about it. Talk talk talk talk talk about it. Get on a soapbox and preach about it. Paint it, cook it, build it, sing it, dance it, scream it, sigh it,

I gave up a long time ago on ever being a good victim, a thing that doesn't fucking exist

excerpts from my most recent essay on my Substack.

#substack #trauma #writer #writing
Infographic style image with a background from the movie sucker punch and the following text in a black circle: "I’m not good prey. I’m not innocent enough. Midriff showing tops, garish Wet N Wild lipstick, a loud mouth. An abrasive laugh. I fuck on the first date, throw kisses around like confetti." For years my self loathing is still at the front of my mind. I wasn’t a good victim. I wanted it at first. I kept talking to him after. I told everyone I had fun." "And weirdest of all, I was most triggered by more subtle attempts at breaching my boundaries. I love when someone explicitly tells me they want to fuck me. " "But sneakily doing anything, or acting like you don’t want what you want is terrifying. Tell me I have a great ass. Don’t accidentally rub your crotch against it while we’re stocking shelves."

The image is a collage of historical photos accompanied by text highlighting the contrast between legality and morality. It consists of three rows, each with two images, and a concluding statement at the bottom: 1. Top Row: - Left: A group of people in concentration camp uniforms with the text "The Holocaust was legal". - Right: A hidden room with the text "Hiding Jews was criminalized". 2. Middle Row: - Left: Enslaved individuals in a field with the text "Slavery was legal". - Right: A depiction of people escaping slavery with the text "Freeing slaves was criminalized". 3. Bottom Row: - Left: A segregated lunch counter with the text "Segregation was legal". - Right: Protesters on a bus with the text "Protesting racism was criminalized". 4. Conclusion: - A bold statement at the bottom reads: "Friendly reminder: Legality isn't a guide to morality".
