So I see a lot of posts about Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera talking about some “wish I could’ve helped her” and “I’ll never forget her she’ll always be in my heart” and “make sure you thank her… wish we could do more” but then they turn around and ignore Miss Major who is LITERALLY STILL ALIVE?  SHES STILL ALIVE AND ATTENDING PROTESTS?? TO THIS DAY?? IN THE YEAR OF OUR LRD 2020?? AND SHE JUST GETS IGNORED? ALL THE DAMN TIME? And yes ofc remember Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera but also dont leave her out of this and ignore her! Don’t cover ur eyes and pretend she isnt there. Miss Major is still alive and we can help her and she NEEDS help.  Anyways if youre able please donate to her here:

A career for a career - Megan Fox deserves to have hers back. Michael Bay deserves to be blacklisted, something he had no problem doing to her when she exposed him for his awful, predatory behavior.

i hope this makes sense but i always get kinda uncomfortable when people talk about colonization and put a huge emphasis on the accomplishments of the people who were colonized as if that’s the reason they shouldn’t have been subject to colonization. like when talking about sustainable farming practices or gender equality some folks still have this gross mindset, kind of like “these people shouldn’t have been colonized because they meet MY standard of a progressive society”. there are always people who won’t meet that standard and while it is important to talk about the history and culture of precolonial societies its so uncomfortable to see us to zero in on the ways these societies are “better”. like maybe my ancestors weren’t kings, maybe they weren’t agriculturally savvy, maybe their accomplishments wouldn’t impress an outside audience but no matter what they did not deserve to be enslaved and have their nations and land decimated. yall get me??

Angela Davis - “Abolition Democracy”

Angela Davis - “Freedom is a Constant Struggle”

Safiya Bukhari - “The War Before”

Patrice Douglass - “Black Feminist Theory for the Dead and Dying”

Patrice Douglass & Frank B Wilderson - “The Violence of Presence: Metaphysics in a Blackened World”

“Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect?”

Evelyn Hammond - “Black (W)holes and the Geometry of Black Female Sexuality”

Sadiya Hartman - “Seduction and the Ruses of Power”

Sadiya Hartman - “Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route”

Audre Lorde - “Sister Outsider”

this is a curated list of texts that i find the most helpful for illustrating why we all should also be abolitionists. the bolded are the ones i’ve found the most helpful thus far. & reminder to buy the books when you can, preferably from independent / leftist / black-owned bookstores… and see what you can find at your local library! keep these works in circulation!

you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.
