you only waste your breath i won't give in, i'll fight to the death!

my scott pilgrim s/i alex, in the style of the comics. <3

alex in a nutshell: ☆ pronouns: she/they ☆ an art teacher from chicago who relocated to toronto ☆ moved in with roxie ☆ lead vocalist of a hardcore/metalcore band. ☆ fighter trained in arnis/eskrima. double wields a bolo knife and eskrima stick ☆ alex uses her music, art, and martial arts training as an outlet for her deep-seated rage that's otherwise hidden away. she's a lot more chill in real life than she is on stage actually. don't let her blood-curdling screams scare you. (she thinks scaring people is fun, though.)

being in a social work masters program as a marginalized person who is ages ahead in theory and experience in comparison to your (white, privileged, rich) cohort is a fucking minefield. solidarity for all and every other marginalized person in these fucking micro aggressive and liberal ass social work programs.

‘Get off our backs and let us live’

Miss Major is still fighting for trans rights after 50 years of resistance

her latest project – a sanctuary for trans and gender-nonconforming people that she built on the property where she lives in the southern conservative state. She first called it House of GG, after her initials, but recently renamed it Tilifi, which stands for Telling It Like It Fuckin’ Is, something Miss Major is exceptionally good at doing. Next door to her house, connected by a path she painted bright yellow, is the Oasis, a guest home where she invites trans leaders and loved ones to stay, with a singular goal: to rest and relax. “I’ve gotta make joy here, because it doesn’t exist in the normal world,” says Miss Major … Visibility, she says, means the deaths of her people are now counted, but it doesn’t mean their lives are being saved and protected: “We got gay marriage, yay! But that doesn’t affect transgender people. The girls are being murdered more and more each year.” She rolls her eyes at the order of the LGBTQ+ acronym: “The T should be first. We’re integral.” … “They want us to live in the 1950s. No. Get off our fucking backs and let us live. They try to push us back – well, that means we gotta put the gloves on and fight again,” she says. “We have to get rid of the people in charge – the 70- and 80-year-olds who hold us down, who want to try to suppress us. You get rid of them, and we can build up, and move forward. People have to organize and get it together, and we also must vote.” She adds: “I know the world I would like to live in. It’s in my head, but I try my best to live it now.”

hey so a friend’s apartment just burned down in a devastating fire.

i’m so glad he & his dog are okay but the situation is terrible. they’ve called the destruction a total loss. i can’t do much but want to help & he said it’s cool to share so…

he’s also created/heads a really cool online magazine for and showcasing queer punks, bipoc & poc, and women in the rock scene. it’s been so cool to see it take shape over the years + he’s a dope artist himself so if you want to send some aid / support his work, his & the magazine’s @‘s are the same on ig too

Stop saying "you're so strong and brave! You're such a great activist!".

I shouldn't have to be. I'm wasting my years fighting for my human rights against people who won't pick up any other book if it saved their life.

I'm so goddamn tired and I'm scared to death.

I watched this last night because I noticed Jordan Peele was involved. I was just expecting a fun stop motion animation movie.

I was not expecting:

Racially and ethnically diverse cast ✓

Positive trans portrayal ✓

Anti for-profit prison message ✓

Kick ass afro-punk soundtrack ✓

It makes my heart happy to see so much positive portrayals of diversity set to rock music by BIPOC musicians. 🙂

amita often forgets to routinely shave her face, causing her little facial hairs to really lengthen. she's reminded when vegito tells her that her whiskers are looking cute (which he sincerely means).
