"men don't need to be afraid walking around at night"
Unless they're black
"men make more than women in jobs"
Black men make less than white women on average
"men don't get followed around by people who mean them harm"
Black men are heavily policed and regularly jumped and killed for just walking down the street
"no one tells a man what he can and cannot do with his own body"
Black men are repeatedly assaulted and have their hair forcibly shaved or cut for wearing their hair natural and in culturally important styles. Black men who choose body modifications like tattoos or piercings are branded as thugs. Black men who have children and black men who don't have children are both regarded as players, hounddogs, absent fathers, and baby daddies, as if the logical answer is that no one's first choice of partner and father of their children would ever be a black man.
"no one judges a man's worth based on his clothes"/"a man isn't ever in danger no matter what he wears"
Black men are required to look presentable and professional according to eurocentric standards, push themselves into clothes not made for their bodies, and be highly uncomfortable in their daily lives or else risk 'fitting the profile' or 'matching the description' and getting detained by police AT BEST for the crime of existing in public. Black men wearing comfortable clothes are seen as sloppy, thugs, gangsters, street rats, hood and ghetto.
"no man fears rape"
The rape and sexual assault of black men ties directly to black buck stereotypes and black fetishization to the point where liking a black person or having your dating pool be open to black people is treated like a sexuality much like being gay. People are both threatened by and aroused by our bodies and that leads them to perform extreme acts of violence on us, including rape, SA, coercion, trafficking, and more. Much like how "tranny" and "lesbian" is a porn category, so is Big Black Cock. Sometimes with us featured as the rapist. Sometimes with us featured as the victim. Almost never with us featured as intimate, passionate, loving, tender. Black men are either to be feared and reviled, or to be broken and forced to submit. Direct ties to slavery with white people still getting off to our suffering.
Just say you don't care as much about black people's suffering and go, jesus.
I have privilege because I sometimes pass as a man? Try walking in my shoes for a while. Turns out being a black man vs being a black woman isn't always so different.

i have been sitting gathering words for a while i posted instantly on other social media and i didn’t like what i said so im gonna be deliberate about what i say here because i feel like it matters even if it may not to many
Technoblade was an amazing human being, he did so much for millions, he left an impact beyond himself. he helped so many people through ups and downs, highs and lows. he’s done more than he could’ve ever dreamed of im sure.
from the potato war to the dsmp to how much fundraising he did in his final months and how he always seemed to put us in a priority, he always thought of us, the technoblade enjoyers. I think he’d be amazed at how many people pulled through and talked about him and said final goodbyes.
for me personally it feels incredibly bittersweet, i looked up to this man an incredible amount, he kept me going. and now he’s gone, i do personally feel a little numb i can say. I don’t know techno personally but his death does affect me in ways that hurt.
And with that being said, you’re allowed to mourn, you’re allowed to grieve, you’re allowed to hurt. this affects millions of people, he touched millions of peoples hearts. If you ever do need to reach out to a friend or someone to talk about how you’re feeling dont hesitate. Hell even if you dont know anyone you can reach out to me! I may not respond fast but i promise to try.
with everything ive said, im thankful i got the chance to live the technoblade era. technoblade never dies he’ll live on within the community. and we’ll fight harder against cancer because even if this does seem corny, he did say blood for the blood god didnt he?

Any attempt to draw a rigid line around and between LGBTQ+ identities will ultimately fail. Lesbians can have complex relationships with gender that include androgyny or masculinity. The line between lesbian and bisexual/otherwise mspec or gay and bisexual/otherwise mspec can get blurred and some people find their home in the grey area. There are asexual people who have sex and aromantic people who date and attraction that isn't quite platonic or romantic. Different mspec labels overlap and that's okay. There are men who are women and women who are men and you can't quite separate the two. People who exist right between feminine man and trans woman, or masculine woman and trans man. Queerness is messy and that's what makes it beautiful, so why try to draw lines when we could let the colors bleed into one another?

i cant speak for other polyam people but being in a triad/throuple relationship in real life is just inherently funny. show up to the family function with two guys and everyone else has one guy. just seems like a power move every time even though we're just living our lives. hilarious. i recommend this for comedic value alone

I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.
