this man was LITERALLY charged with possession of obscene images specifically featuring children in sexual conduct, and ur uplifting him...????? FUCK THIS MAN AND GET FUCKING REAL
yall not loud enough about the 7 million displaced in Congo for me…or the thousands displaced and murdered in Somalia. or the political unrest and deaths in the streets of Senegalese cities. or the political war being raged in South Sudan right now…
we literally just lost Jasmine “Star” Mack, Destiny Howard, Cashay Henderson, and Imanitwitaho Zachee, to name a few smh) and AFTER abusin ur platform n playin (once again) abt Black trans self-determination, this is the vitriol u speak to a Black trans woman with?
cook in hell
i’m getting pissed tf off again. this exactly what i mean by ppl leading protests with zero safety protocol. WHY is a Black personal surrounded by unarmed nonBlacks? like that person coulda gotta fuckin stabbed…
VIOLENT ZIONIST! This guy snuck into the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at UCLA and started putting his hands on multiple people, trying to provoke protestors. This is who they are. Violent pigs. Expose this guy:
he was originally charged w possession of chile pornography & a felony account of employing a minor for the purpose of taking explicit photos. after pleading guilty to possession of an obscene image, he was fined $100, received 3 hrs probation n registered as a sec offender
i don’t like at all how invisibilized and erased the strife of predominantly Black/Afrikan populations must remain for sympathy to be extended to our fellow humans in a struggle against hegemonic power…
let’s back into what’s going on with the Tiwi Island girls, and West Papuans, and the ppl in shanty towns in Cape Town and Johannesburg. i just wish the political acumen extended much further beyond engaging only what is being selectively shown on TV
okay so boom. let’s get this thread started. it’ll mostly be apple music links as that’s the streaming servicr i use the most. however u can also find these artists on youtube, soundcloud, and bandcamp!
deploying saucy santana as a retort for calling out lil nas x on his transmisogynoir is so trash. saucy santana has been called out MULTIPLE times for being transphobic and there is documented evidence of his transmisogynoir on youtube!
if ur interested in reading more about the reality of Afrikan/Black people in Israeli occupied Palestinian territory, below are several links to articles i've been reading on the topic 🧵
cn// detailed descriptions of antiBlackness, settler colonialism, lynchings, and xenophobia
safe words give survivors agency in how they want to experience kink and sexual practices. they also systematize consent. while i understand the origin of the concern, this tweet comes off as u don’t know what ur talkin abt n contributes to stigma around kink
muted. y’all dogpiled, misgendered, n attacked me 4 what? like we don’t know what mental image is conjured up when mfs say “dirty” as opposed to “clean.” remain bitter and twisted by the antiBlackness u back n tbh gon head keep drinkin ur colonizer’s booty juice i wont stop u 🤷🏿
cn// mention of suicide

found out recently one of my college friends unalived herself. Ade was a dark skin Black trans woman artist, singer-songwriter and rapper. she survived cancer, and despite struggling immensely with her mental health made her way thru life
truly, the only Palestinians i’m centering are the Black ones. so often when talking about the continued Israeli occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian ancestral lands, Black Palestinians are hardly ever mentioned…while experiencing antiblackness as well as displacement
“full time spiritual worker” sounds so antithetical to me. so many of these callings and paths many of us have found ourselves on are illegible in the eyes and bowels of the state… why are we tryna make sense of spirit work through the schema of “full time” employment?
Interviewed my friend of almost a decade. Recently immigrated from C*ba. Black man. Said most the racism/discrimination he’s experienced in the U.S., living in LA, thus far has been from Mexicans. Posting that interview soon.
A Black trans woman is going thru evicτiοn. The landΙοrd comes into the hουse unannουnced, and she is very υnsafe. She’s strυggling to find wοrk, and she has no mοney until her unempΙοyment comes, hοpefully in some weeks.

the hardest thing abt colorism discourse for me is we r still deeply inside a moment where the most trusted and uplifted voices on the topic are comin from lite and brown skin bodies...but when dark n deep dark skin biches say colorism is drowning us it b crickets
yes we are watching baby storme engage in an extremely public tell all. AND that cult shit is completely fuckin chopped
BUT that does not give any of us the right to diagnose her mental health nor does it entitle us to use ableist/antiBlack rhetoric to ground our opinions
i need y’all to understand that reposting something fucked up to critique it (like that video of lynspirit mocking ms.netta and charles in Blackface) actually just gives that fucked up thing more traction and views. content like that does NOT need to be seen
a local Black trans girl needs help with general as well as HRT-specific funds until she can score more gigs and a pt-time position! she can b found at and we’ll as her pay handles:

beyond the two of them being frenz the social public will engage this as a valid way to refer to trans ppl…& w the general population is lacking in education re: proper terminology around trans identity, this could have been a teachable moment to uplift affirmative language
normani is not dark skin. she is brown skin… n da only reason she would b considered dark skin is cuz of da nonBlacks n mixxies many of us “Blackness is not a monolith!” into coded niggatry or racialization
the reality is a lot of y’all DESIRE to be dark skin. this, next to including literal nonBlacks into Blackness, has so grossly skewed many folks’ perceptions of skin tone so bad that we still rely on n entrust gaslighty, anti-dark skin logics like the paper bag test to inform how
hey! my reservation at this extended stay ends tomorrow & i am yet searching for safe, stable housing. please circul8 this infographic with ur networks! & please don8! i am in an extremely dire situation and NEED community support to come out on the other side of this okay! ty!
n it’s ns but honestly cuz if the heavy presence of nonBlacks in ballroom, this pipeline prolly look a lil different/has various connecting points & outputs
ableism, like transmisogynoir/classism/xenophobia, are the air we breathe in “the west.” & physical ability as the prerequisite for participation in warfare is a pillar of autocratic power structuring. if we are to imagine revolt, and its afterlife, why would the enemy’s tactics,
i dislike how Black folks recounting trauma thru storytelling is another standup routine for many of y’all…don’t rly see shit funny bt a Black woman and her bb chile almost dying by GSW
what happened to that girl is hella sad fr, prayers up for her…AND let’s b clear abt a cpl things
1. HIV/herpes in da body can b aymsptomatic, so “knowin” u have HIV *can be* impossible unless u go get tested or complications occur
2. UTIs not contagious caint b passed on
hey y’all, an unemployed Black trans immigrant is in need of funds to secure housing, necessities, and groceries. plz like, bewst, don8 to, and share this cf! 🩷

i’m tired of seeing rallies/protests lead by inexperienced organizers with no proper safety plan and no aftercare…y’all got ppl at these events getting arrested with no type of training on de-arrest tactics or collective police resistance. wtf goin on out here frfr
which have destroyed, decimated, and left many of us in our current conditions, prove useful?
in what iteration of a world after revolution are disabled ppl imagined as to be active participants needed to reimagine the world they too live in?
a majority of Black ppl on this planet live in poverty, whether borderline or abject. so frfr this tweet gives eugenics. n truly i wish y’all would close ya mouf before speaking so all we got was unintelligible mumbles
I asked someone what their annual income is and it was below the poverty line. I asked why he was dating. He said if we come together we can change that. I don’t know if you guys see Joe Biden’s economy but dating isn’t for people who can barely support themselves.
Kelly Stough was also known as Keanna Mattel. rest in peace and power to her lovely spirit, and know that her family very much cared for her
and fyi this article deadnames and misgenders her…so this is prolly not the best place to receive this news
Pastor Albert Weathers pleaded guilty to killing 36-year-old Kelly Stough - a transgender woman, and leaving her body in the street near McNichols and Brush in Detroit.
woke up thinkin bt o’shea sibley today, enraged not only that he was taken but while in ancestral reverence (voguing). i’m praying that he finds peace in the realms after this one 🕊️🩷🕯️ and that the love of those who cared for him carries is spirit home 💫🌻🫧
just remember it's disabled, not differently abled. people are not abled in a different way--they are disabled. esp in orientation to the state: how it treats their bodies; how it decides who doesn't get access to resources; who lives and who dies...
“billionaire” and “good person” can never be used in the same sentence without a logical fallacy presenting itself. i’m also willing to wager that any person having risen to the status of billionaire has killed others to get there
love ur work and congrats on nope!
w that said, do u experience antiblackness? yes. misogynoir? yes. colorism? no. u r not dark skin, and the brunt/weight/responsibility of colorism falls specifically on the lives of dark and deep dark skin ppl
A great example of colorism is to believe I can be compared to anyone. I’m the youngest talk show host ever. The first Black woman to star in her own show on Nickelodeon, & the youngest & first Black Cinderella on broadway. I’m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer.
respectfully, doja being high yella n paintin her skin the literal color Black caint b removed from the action’s historical context & a colorism critique not a reach when ppl dragged twigs semi recently for painting a lite skin man the color Black and animalizing his features
a disabled trans person was scammed by a mover on Dec 5th, and has a small goal of $150 to cover the fee she was charged by taskrabbit!

may the end of the world come swiftly! and the project of humanity cease with it! may it tag colorism and transmisogynoir, so we know where to find and demolish them. may class be dessicated and ground to dust, blowing away in the wind alongside antiBlackness n all its frameworks
from their ancestral homelands. it’s very sinister to specifically suppprter nonBlacks in struggle against ethnic cleansing while ignoring the Black diasporans also facing antiBlackness, xenophobia, and racialized public attacks. what has happened to Palestine is fucked up
i’m gonna miss u real bad Ade. i’m so sorry this world failed u and that u could not seen ur self in it. i luv u so much and i’m praying ur spirit has found the ease this world would not afford ur gentle soul

once again: HIV contraction is not a punishment for being sexually active! n i rly rly wish y’all would stop sayin shit that only reaches back into criminalizing ppl because of their status, or punitive judgement based upon their sexual proclivities
uploading this again today. i left the extended stay i was at, am currently in between housing, and in urgent need of assistance to come out on the other of this safe. please continue to b00st, don8, circul8, and shar3 this graphic with your communities. thank u 👾
what kills me abt that “y’all need to b tellin ppl y’all real genders” tweet is she QRTd that on a TRANNIVERSARY POST. bich bffr, the nigga was literally telling EVERYBODY that he trans!
we have GOT to understand and accept and move actionably around the fack that some of, if not THE most at-risk group of undocumented ppl in this country are Black…
when many of the spirit workers were poor, depending on social and public support, were sex workers / social outcasts, were called into their practice(s) on lineage. n this is not to speak down on folks’ work, but to seriously inquire does being “full time” make it matter more?
this is NOT an elder speaking. this IS an entitled oldhead who feels her opinion matters abt what other ppl doin w they body…the fack she opened her mouf to spew shit niggas prolly said abt her n tracy chapman is ridiculouscuz
having lived does NOT an elder make…!
I think the worst part of Alice Walker’s support for JK Rowling is the cynical deployment of her community elder status as if almost reassure us that her support for gender-confused is well-informed when in fact she sounds like every other TERF
how come misogynoir & femmephobia r as far as ur reads go when concerning the struggle to survive patriarchy? how come transmisogynoir is not (actionably) in ur vocabulary? & why r ur sisters only cisgender?
jus say u don’t care abt they actions and don’t wanna see these BQs held accountable for ritually subjecting Black trans women to (para)social violence
rly h8 to see how complicit many of us r in the quotidian erasure of and violence against Black trans lives
we engage non-dark skin ppl. “brown skin” isn’t a put down, it’s a accurate name for a set of experiences inside Blackness. calling u “brown skin” does not negate yo Blackness; it calls u into responsibility around how u leverage power in a world structured by shade
im tired of colorism convos on here, but i’m more tired of brown and lite skin niggas caring more about phrass that name they skin tones “negating their experiences of Blackness” than undoing their own internalized antiBlackness and colorist thoughts/feelings toward dark skin ppl
continuing to b00st this! i was issued a 3 day notice to quit on monday! while bogus and illegal, it’s further proof of the antagonism and harassment i’ve been experiencing for AT LEAST the last 11 days! plz continue to don8 and share this w ur networks!
this person is living unapologetically in their truth n a lot of y’all r mad u so stuck on bein cis u caint live in the world w/o hiding parts of ur self…
it costs nothing to keep ur comments to ur self n keep scrolling
somethin bt “Black ppl that r 9s/10s choose white partners that r mid” discourse this past month sends me bad cuz the 9/10 in question is almost always muscular/fit/“in shape” and non dark skin…
