My whole entire body is so sore (AND I HIRED MOVERS - which is a good thing because I definitely didn’t want to aggravate my lower back when I haven’t gone back to strengthening and stretching it out again (I had lower back surgery when I was 25, and the last time it flared up was after I overextended myself at CrossFit after a very horrible breakup when I was 27)). So much to organize. And so many of my old things I want to give away or burn (realistically or metaphorically).…

I am giddy. Visions of my new life are just swirling in my head. Of me journaling at my desk by my bed in my Hello Kitty kindness journal. Of me swimming all the time. Of me experimenting disastrously with new and old recipes. Of me grilling in the back (my neighbor’s kid convinced me that I should get a grill lmao - we shall see). Of my partners laughing and holding me while we look out the window and see the skyline of the city all lit up.

—

I’m really glad I cried so hard yesterday. I feel really good about this new start. Everything is in disarray materially at my new apartment but the energy is so hopeful - I am going to create and thrive like I have never done in my entire life. I am going to have fun - like crazy fun. And cook. And rest whenever the fuck I want. And have my friends and partners over, meow. And play games again (I’m getting so hyped up for it). And I’m gonna plot for my future every moment while also living as much as I can for myself - control and release all at the fucking same time. With the occasional breakdown here and there (I am an autistic traumatized person of the global majority after all).

You there! Can you help?

Hey yall, I have to go back to Imperial Core 2 (aka the US) to sort out my paperwork so I can stay out of the country and continue finding a house, and then I have to make a long drive and pay a handful of money so I can keep my car here. This is going to cost $$$ and I won’t be able to work for a couple weeks so if you could share some dollars with me to balance the dip it would help a ton!

especially since I cannot make under 3.8k/month in order to qualify for my upcoming visa application- I must make that for a consistent, uniterrupted 6 months!

For those who don’t know I had to emigrate from the US due to lack of available housing and a bunch of other issues related to it being a shithole for queer POGM.

My p*yp*l is p*yp*l.me/ellipsislux

Thanks so much!

Hey Mena, since you speak on this topic a lot, what do you think of the phrase 'persons/women of the global majority' as opposed to 'persons/women of color'? I find poc still centres white people in relation to us in a way that pogm does not

honestly i don’t like it, it doesn’t make sense to me and if u didn’t tell me it refers to people of colour, i would’ve thought it meant something else entirely

[squirms-mckenzie]

Interesting to me how it always seems to be white people stoking the fires of infighting.

this is why you are always white before you are any other marginalized identity. The audacity that whiteness gives people to center their own experience above all else is exactly what leads to this kind of bullshit.

statistically, the MOST marginalized people in the trans community are Black trans women. And yet, it's always white trans folks (men and women) who are shouting about oppression and arguing about who really has it worse.

Infighting will not help the most vulnerable people in our communities. in fact, it will only leave them more vulnerable to harm, because y'all are so busy shitting on each other instead of protecting them.

Whiteness tells you that you must be centered in all spaces. Unpack that. Learn to listen to each other but ESPECIALLY to PoGM/BIPOC trans people.

Anyways. I'm just tired. The cis hate us all, we do not need to make their jobs easier by hating each other.

#ppl rly think revolutions happen when one qualifying awful event happens#which I suppose could be true to a certain extant there’s def historical precedent to support that but like…#if that were the case now it would’ve happened already#striking down roe v wade was a rly big one that effected a lot of ppl and still does#there were many many many riots#and like…almost nothing happened#America has a militarized police force and dumps all their money into finding new and impressive ways to kill large amounts of ppl#like sry babe but you’re actually gonna have to log off Twitter and organize your work place#attend one local DSA general meeting or IWW or CPUSA#whoever#h8 chronically online libs acting like they’re leftists for having a hot take or whatever#from a certain pov we could say the revolution is happening rn and it’s not going well#stop cop city protestors are putting up a pretty strong resistance and are getting steamrolled#at this point whenever I see someone talking like this I immediately assume they’re a middle class suburbanite#who will be mostly insulated from whatever the Supreme Court does

These tags are too good to hide but I also want to add that ppl couldn’t boycott Netflix either.

I have a couple acquaintances that have been doign that whole ‘when’s there gonna be a revolution?’ thing and at this point I quietly point out:

1. You’re asking. everyone asks. This is reason one why it’s not going to happen.

2. You think they’re just gonna spontaneously happen in response to some Perfect Trigger, where everyone knows to run into the streets and go flip cars in unison across the nation. That’s not gonna happen.

3. People tend to want permission to do it and are all waiting for a Perfect Moment to do some big act while they consistently let smaller moments (chic fil a, netflix) go by.

4. The nation and its people are not built for revolt. Y’all can’t even boycot optional products. It’s too early for my Proper Brain so I have to say it this way: the populace is largely totally complacent and trained and part of that is that they are actually completely content w the consumerist treats. The other part is that this is a full on fucking police state that has been at war with its own citizens for a while now. While many people may not think this, they instinctively feel it. You see POGM here starting huge resistances and we get picked off and while many of you sympathize, most just sit back. Because the larger understanding is that it will never work in the long run anyway.

5. Revolution doesn’t even work the way you think it does. Unless you happen to have lived through a revolution in one of the countries the US fucked with, you have no idea how it works aside from viewing it through a past tense digest in a history book. It’s remembered as “Trigger, Response, Result’ on a neat timeline but it doesn’t actually work that way. Even if there was a revolt things would get far messier before they got better. It would initiate a long bloody struggle. It’s rarely as easy as ‘go to the president’s house and kick them out. Win!’ and it definitely would be a bloodbath in the country where the cops have tanks and a bigger budget than entire countries.

Make other plans.

"supreme court and twitter rate limit means there will be a revolution" y'all cant even boycott chik fil a

@natto-slime oh you’re definitely right. Yt leftists are legitimately weaponizing disability here and they actually do it a lot. A lot of POGM have been noticing that if and when you want to broach a colonial topic suddenly everyone’s disabled and you’re then mean n***er for bringing it up. Notice how many ppl made being non-binary and autistic the main part of their personality after the huge wave of race-sensitive dialogue we had years ago?

Like I agree they’re not seeing the colonial aspect of this convo but it’s also bc they systematically have a trained reactionary silencing tactic that allows them to DARVO the conversation.

hello merdie i’m in love with you

I cannot believe I just watched a fool who eats pants for 12 hours instead of studying for my exams

I am straight up just gonna fail lets gooo

[afrostyfry]

So here is my first drawing on my new art tablet

I have drawn in the past but that wasn’t since I was like 12, so it’s my most recent drawing in 5+ years, and it was fun to do. But as you can tell, I’m scared of shading, poses that aren’t basically a T-pose, and proportions are weird. Also clothing is intimidating to make look like it’s flowing n’ shit. If anyone sees this, I accept all helpful criticism :^) But I do like the dress for the first time I’ve ever attempted at one. The needle is stretched and you can kinda tell, and I couldn’t get another good leg so I just copied the first one and didn’t do any changes.

manifesting dates with cute PoGM trans folks specifically

Welp, I'm back on Hinge. I got tired of how sexual Feeld is. Wish me luck.

Family: "Guys aren't going to like you" "You're gonna be a lesbian" (I was a Tomboy) "You're gonna live at home for the rest of your life."

Boyfriend/fiance: "You can't leave me" "No one else will put up with you" "You think someone else will love you?"

How coincidental. There really must be something wrong with me. I mean obviously. PogMe for being an absolute fucking failure of a life.
