“It remains a radical act to be fat and happy in America. Being publicly fat and happy is hard; being publicly, shamelessly, unshakably fat and happy is an act of both will and bravery.” — Melissa McEwan

when they want the thick hair but not the thick eyebrows
when they want the ‘forehead jewel’ but not the ‘dothead’
when they want the tan skin but not the darkest of night
when they want the third eye but not the perspective
when they want the bangles but not the troubles
when they want the flavor but not the smell
when they want to practice but not understand
when they want the trend but not the history
when they want the benefits but not the disadvantages
when they want the light but not the heat
when they want the culture but not you

What men don’t understand is that women are FIERCELY PROTECTIVE of underage girls because we remember when we were young and some adult man made us uncomfortable or manipulated us or was inappropriate with us and we were powerless.

#Confidence and #selfacceptance is not about size 💕. I’ve been thinner in the past but I have never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am today💖 👸🏾💖. Don’t wait until you see a certain number on the scale 🙅🏾 or for the approval of others to be ok with who you are 💁🏾. #youareenough right now🌸 #selflove is for all 💘 #jbyfs 🌈🍩🎀🍭❤️

Gentrifiers focus on aesthetics, not people. Because people, to them, are aesthetics. Proponents of gentrification will vouch for its benevolence by noting it “cleaned up the neighbourhood”. This is often code for a literal white-washing. The problems that existed in the neighbourhood - poverty, lack of opportunity, struggling populations denied city services - did not go away. They were simply priced out to a new location. That new location is often an impoverished suburb, which lacks the glamour to make it the object of future renewal efforts. There is no history to attract preservationists because there is nothing in poor suburbs viewed as worth preserving, including the futures of the people forced to live in them. This is blight without beauty, ruin without romance: payday loan stores, dollar stores, unassuming homes and unpaid bills. In the suburbs, poverty looks banal and is overlooked. In cities, gentrifiers have the political clout - and accompanying racial privilege - to reallocate resources and repair infrastructure. The neighbourhood is “cleaned up” through the removal of its residents. Gentrifiers can then bask in “urban life” - the storied history, the selective nostalgia, the carefully sprinkled grit - while avoiding responsibility to those they displaced.
