hi hi just so everyone knows, Portland,OR is being occupied by federal agents, every night (for almost two months straight) drones & planes are over the city every night. Protestors are being disappeared off streets & countless people have suffered near-fatal wounds.
Fake it for me.
U go out with ur friends, drunk & happy in all the pics, but come home to me, and the real u is on suicide watch. U be horny asf for them hoes, who don’t know u broke & depressed, but get round me, limp & insecure, becuz I know ur flaws.
Nah fake it for me too.
hey gays I know it sucks but, HUSTLERS exploited the background dancers / sex workers to shoot most of the film & Jennifer Lopez has built her entire career on stealing from Black women.
Jay-Z & Beyoncé are many things but "radical" is not one. Let them folks just make you feel good without putting inaccurate & uncritical theory on them.

I love Lil Nas X and I think that some of his antics are causing really frustrating conversations for trans people, specifically black trans folks. his fake pregnancy photos opened up a ugly can of worms and today’s transition joke feels similar.
BREAKING: Kenya Barris and Caitlyn Jenner are developing a show titled ‘trans-ish’, which will revolve around a “modern republican Trans woman & her fight against human rights.”
Some things to note: while I'm not presently sex working, I am highlighting my information from sex workers on here who have cited of the problems with the HUSTLERS movie. (i’ve re-tweeted many of their threads below)
also many Puerto Ricans are black J Lo is not one of those
Yung Baby Tate & Flo Milli excite me for the future of rap the way CholexHalle do for pop/R&B. Their commitment to femme grandiosity, lyrical technique, & appreciation for historical reference are placing them as the future. It’s a dream.
white folks love homophobic black ppl cuz it's like A THING they can point to as BAD, when it's affluent conservative & silent moderate white folks making LGBTQ™ life in this country so difficult.
another major point that BRILLIANT FOLKS keep mentioning is that this movie is coming on the heels of sex workers being extremely criminalized nationwide and an epidemic of increased violence....
When police are more interested in a killer’s mind than the victims’ life, the act reveals itself as state sanctioned. That shooter was a volunteer agent of the state enacting individual violence in ways that mirror how the American police state has long harmed AAPI nationwide.
I think one of the biggest reasons why many Americans are unable to feel the grief of the pandemic is because American patriotism relies on never acknowledging loss.
There is no honor and no joy in this symbolic reduction of Black life to a literal monetary value as our lives have always been line items not human experiences
a Black church was weaponized to silence the outcry against genocide.
they equated the protestors for Palestine to Dylan Roof shooting the place up.
we may not overcome.
these federal legislative efforts are masturbatory at best & a farce at worst. I really am curious on how many trans people could even afford to fight against discrimination in the workplace, again assuming they can even get in .
so, recently I've joined a kiki/art haus here in Portland. The Ballroom scene in the Pacific Northwest is beautiful & still growing & I'm honored snatch my first 🏆 for commentator for my house!

and I understand he’s trying to perform a kind of camp and rupture this black boy pop star image, but it feels tragically disconnected from urgent conversations.
