One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach….all the damn vampires!

Me @ every middle aged fictional man with a tired attitude
listen. cut off your hair. cut off all your damn hair. do you ever hear a man wondering if he’s too ugly to have short hair? no!!! there is no such thing as too ugly to have short hair. if you don’t want your hair, just cut off your hair. it feels so so so good.Â
First and foremost I want black women to stay home. STOP PROTESTING! I seen a lot of black men posting about “ protest pussy being the best” & how it is an opportunity to meet black women. Secondly, stop allowing black men to brain wash you before you have an Ari Lennox & Snoop Dog situation. Did you see the way Snoop Dog violated Ari Lennox? A lot of black men do not care about us; yet we crave acceptance. Thirdly, can we please focus on black women right now? Can we cash app black women, start organizations that are EXCLUSIVELY for BLACK WOMEN! Especially women like, Oluwatoyin Salau. There are a lot of black women that have similar stories as her. There are a lot of black women that have been failed by black men. & can I talk about defunding the police. Yes, the police isn’t shit but who is going to capture men like Aaron Glee Jr...... & black lives matter do NOT COUNT FOR RAPIST, MURDERERS, CHILD MOLESTORS, ETC . You can call me insensitive all you want, but I am done advocating for everyone. Suck my dick.
Anyways, there need to BE more shelters for black women. Black women need to feel safe. Who the hell is protecting us? Not the cops, not our men, shit, not even our family. Jesus ! ..

You should be outraged. You should be enraged and if you are not, if the senseless killing of the black community at the hands of our police force does not anger you please reevaluate your humanity.
To be unmoved by the current issues of our society is a privilege. To prioritize looting and damage to property over lost black lives and police brutality is to lack humanity.
Please evaluate and educate yourself, this is a major issue and we need serious reform and revolution in this country.
You can’t love the Romantics and academia and remain ignorant and complacent.

Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.
Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.
You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.
Sometimes I write in my journal as if somebody a century from now is going to find it and suddenly become captivated by the old ways of life. After they finish reading it, perhaps they’ll start living life similarly to how I do. In the past. In another life.
social distancing is okay for me bc ive been touched starved since the 15th century. im used to it.
Growth is admitting I too possess toxic qualities & carry unhealed traumas I need to work on
