white women when you derail a conversation about uplifting, supporting, protecting, loving black girls, and black women with “All girls, all women” you are the equivalent of when men derail your conversations to say “not all men”.

one of the most durable paradoxes of white supremacy - the idea that those who are closest to an experience of oppression are its least credible witnesses.

Let me grind this in a little more for you guys.
"cis" (from cisgender) means you identify as the gender you were assigned.
Cis does not mean:
You are comfortable with your “body.”
"gender you were born with." You’re not born with a gender.
"straight." Being cis has nothing to do with your sexuality.
So, can cis people stop altering the definition and spreading misinformation?

When I started dating women I began to identify as lesbian, as it was most fitting — and best understood by community around me. Saying I was bisexual brought along too many misconceptions that I wasn’t able or willing to battle with. My sexual identity was interpreted as being less about love and more about sex. My bisexuality doesn’t reflect how active my libido is, nor does it mean that I’m confused about my identity.

if you’re cis and you don’t always like being the gender people say you are, that makes sense, because gender is necessarily a rigid and imperfect way of categorizing people. but instead of thinking you have to just deal with it and accept your assigned gender, have you considered: don’t do that. gender is a fake as hell imposition and you don’t have to obey it. follow your gay little heart to greener and freer pastures

avengers au where clint’s got his hearing aids but he turns them off when hes bored so that he can try to decipher what everyones saying and no one knows he does it but they think its weird when he misses huge gaps of a story or throws in an oddly specific detail that never happened or gets a name really wrong on an official report tony and nat try to piece together whats happening through increasingly convoluted ways that may result in more than a few injuries steves convinced its just something left over from when loki was in his head and he keeps trying to get sam to talk to him about it bruce starts trying to develop a new hearing aid that’ll register the sound better (clint accepts them and then proceeds to continue turning those ones off too) and then one day thor’s telling a story about loki’s embarrassing childhood and he just offhandedly says ‘tell barton to turn his ears on, he will like the next part’ and the room just goes quiet as they realize theres absolutely nothing wrong with clint hes just been being a shit the entire time

Hi! I don't know if tumblr ate my ask or if no one noticed it. I understand that you guys get a lot of asks, but I can't help asking again. I'm genderfluid, but lean more toward male. I look really feminine, are there any tips to looking more masculine? I don't want to take T or anything, though.

In this ambitious work, first published in 1983, Cedric Robinson demonstrates that efforts to understand black people’s history of resistance solely through the prism of Marxist theory are incomplete and inaccurate. Marxist analyses tend to presuppose European models of history and experience that downplay the significance of black people and black communities as agents of change and resistance. Black radicalism must be linked to the traditions of Africa and the unique experiences of blacks on western continents, Robinson argues, and any analyses of African American history need to acknowledge this.
