When I see Me I see History

My Soul is transcended from the binary … when I see me I can’t help but see history.

Assumptions only hold my growth back… easier to drown out the noise when grounded but when beaten down it enters my mind like a virus

It lingers with self hate , harsh words and unstable experiences.

In Solitude I self reflect, give myself love, grow in solitude with myself , in my own skin

Creatively, Genderless, Lovingly, Cathartically , and Softly

I am here today because of my black trans ancestors, because of my ancestors, because of coincidence, because of chance and love

Gender doesn’t define me I define Gender for me.I am an Androgynous Soft being , Femme and Masc and Neither Flow Through me.

The world has its eyes on me… My Trauma weighs me down…’my environment haunts me… my mental illnesses hurt me …

I want Peace, I want love , I want Healing, I want Family, I want Safety,

When I see me I see history

December 29th, 2019 I’d prayed that the right man would walk into my life. Would I have replied to that text on New Years of 2020 if I knew this was how we’d end? Would I still have thought that God had answered my prayer in record time? Because now it is evident that you were not the right man. Just the first one who popped up. It seems that my prayer has yet to be answered. God seems to be 2 years and some change late.

Installation view of Freedom Square: The Black Girlhood Altar at the Chicago Cultural Center

The exhibition at the Chicago Cultural Center opens with the installation “Homegoing.” The work is a suspended image depicting a screenshot from Ma’Khia Bryant’s personal TikTok. In the photo she’s laying her edges, her jet-black hair shining, her baby face clean and free of makeup. Below the printed photo is a collection of candles, stuffed animals, and a bouquet. On April 20, 2021, Ma’Khia was killed by an Ohio police officer in what was later determined a justifiable homicide. She was 16 years old. 

In the gallery titled Rest and Recess: The Courtyard, the exhibition transports the viewer to the Caribbean where Black girls play together unburdened and hopeful. A tree, sculpted by Robert Narciso and made from branches from Rekia Boyd’s family home, sits in the center of the room casting a protective shadow over everything. From its branches hang yellow paper hearts scribed with the hopes and dreams of little Black girls. The sound of their joyful cacophony activates the space.

We absolutely need more Black voice actors. Tons more. I’d love to see it become a rise in popular professions among Black People — esp Black Women. More Black Women voice acting for cartoon characters, anime characters, Disney characters, etc.

I'm tired of the idea that passing as a trans person is something you either are or aren't, that it is innate, and if you pass, you pass in every scenario otherwise, you don't pass, and if you don't pass, and it's because you aren't doing enough/aren't transitioning enough/aren't enough of your gender.

I'm tired of the idea that passing is this clearly defined phenomenon that happens to us all if we try hard enough, and that it's inherently our fault if we can't magically pass in every fucking scenario known to man.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #like passing is already complex and i hate that so many treat it like black and white #that's why i hate being told i pass or that i pass and so my voice is less impactful #because maybe i pass as a man 99% of the time but. i can never pass as a cishet man and that impacts how i am treated #and i simply can't pass in some situations. i'm treated like a third scarier gender in many circumstances and that matters! #it matters because it's transphobia and it *will* impact other people #we can acknowledge that passing *can* contribute to how somebody is treated *without* making sweeping statements that silence others y'know? #and i just don't know if some people are ready for the amount of nuance and care that that takes #it's getting to the point where i am weary of language surrounding passing #like even when i passed maybe 10% of the time i still felt like i wasn't heard by others and it's frustrating #like it feels like it's 'you pass so you don't understand this' or 'you don't pass so you don't understand this'

I was the only Negro passenger on the plane, and I followed everybody else going into the Dobbs House to get lunch. When I got there one of the waiters ushered me back and I thought they were giving me a very nice comfortable seat with everybody else and I discovered they were leading me to a compartment in the back. And this compartment was around you, you were completely closed in, cut off from everybody else, so I immediately said that I couldn’t afford to eat there. I went on back and took a seat out in the main dining room with everybody else and I waited there, and nobody served me. I waited a long time, everybody else was being served. So finally I asked for the manager and he came out and started talking, and I told him the situation and he talked in very sympathetic terms. And I never will forget what he said to me.

He said, “Now Reverend, this is the law; this is the state law and the city ordinance and we have to do it. We can’t serve you out here but now everything is the same. Everything is equal back there; you will get the same food; you will be served out of the same dishes and everything else; you will get the same service as everybody out here.”

And I looked at him and started wondering if he really believed that. And I started talking with him. I said, “I don’t see how I can get the same service. Number one, I confront aesthetic inequality. I can’t see all these beautiful pictures that you have around the walls here. We don’t have them back there. But not only that, I just don’t like sitting back there and it does something to me. It makes me almost angry. I know that I shouldn’t get angry. I know that I shouldn’t become bitter, but when you put me back there something happens to my soul, so that I confront inequality in the sense that I have a greater potential for the accumulation of bitterness because you put me back there. And then not only that, I met a young man from Mobile who was my seat mate, a white fellow from Mobile, Alabama, and we were discussing some very interesting things. And when we got in the dining room, if we followed what you’re saying, we would have to be separated. And this means that I can’t communicate with this young man. I am completely cut off from communication. So I confront inequality on three levels: I confront aesthetic inequality; I confront inequality in the sense of a greater potential for the accumulation of bitterness; and I confront inequality in the sense that I can’t communicate with the person who was my seat mate.”

And I came to see what the Supreme Court meant when they came out saying that separate facilities are inherently unequal. There is no such thing as separate but equal.

Maybe it’s just me but the way both these characters are from New Orleans, POC, and French Creole, and yet one of them sounds like they’re exactly that and the other sounds like an average white dude.

Like no offense to Edward Bosco, I love his voice acting and he’s very good, but holy shit you can just tell that Alastor being mixed creole was a last minute decision. I’m blaming Vivzie in this, not Edward, because while Alastor does have that 1920’s old Atlantic accent but he certainly doesn’t sound of his heritage, compared to Nico where the accent is clear. Of course I know that not EVERY person or group sounds exactly the same, so maybe this is a nitpick but still.

#and again I love Edward as Alastor it just wasn’t the right casting really #this is why I hope Alastor is voiced by a POC actor when the show comes out #like we gatta have our representation idc what some bootlicking fans say about it not mattering #but yeah after doing research Nico is also creole and from New Orleans #like seriously Viv Alastor is not black like omg you suck at this #Hazbin critical #vivziepop critical #Alastor critical

Since Neely’s killing, the station located at the intersection of NoHo and SoHo has become a center for actions protesting the city’s racist criminalization of its unhoused residents and memorializing Neely. The crimson display, reminiscent of a brutal crime scene, was accompanied by a letter to “cop mayor” Eric Adams that called out “vigilante violence” and the structural imbalances of power and wealth in the city’s political and social landscape.

“We are fed up with the attacks on the working class, crime baiting, the austerity budgets, the endless demonizing of the most vulnerable people in our society,” the letter read. “This wasn’t a single tragedy — we are in a crisis. Whose side are you on?”
