I hate that we are expected to compact our opinions, our feelings, our identities, into square, black and white little boxes and then label them and let that label decide who we are and how we’re treated by others. Humans, by nature, are so much more complicated than that, we aren’t perfect squares and so we can’t fit into the square boxes that our society so desperately tries to force us into. We’re more like squiggly lines that are all tangled and intertwined and going in every direction imaginable, like christmas lights after spending a year in the loft; they may all somehow be connected, but when you try to describe or make sense of it, it’s going to be hard and, a lot of the time, it will even be impossible. Human behaviour, emotions, and identity can’t be labelled perfectly, there’s always going to be a part that’s missing or something that doesn’t quite fit into the box. Think of it like trying to fit a trapezoid into a rectangle: there’s parts that are too big to fit, and then there’s areas that the trapezoid can’t fill at all. That is what labels are to humans. No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to perfectly fit somebody into a label without changing a vital part of what makes them who they are and that can cause so much emotional and mental damage.

i hate being on my period bc i'm sad and lonely and all i want rn is to be held but i have no one :')

Lastly, as a reminder, we gotta rise above "see there's a Black character!" as a judgment of a piece of media's inclusiveness. Okay, but did they play a role that had interiority or did they just serve as a device for the nonblack main characters and their stories?

I don't believe in giving credit for the bare minimum of "being present" anymore lol. It's okay to have standards, it's okay that everything you like won't reach them, but you don't have to lower your standards for good Black characters to "just having them"!

Just wanted y'all to have that last paragraph from my review as its own post 👍🏾

DON'T STOP TALKNG ABOUT CONGO

**It’s a privilege** to look forward to the launch of the new iPhone 16, while people in the DRC face modern-day slavery, mistreatment, and abuse as they mine the very minerals that power our cherished phones. Zoya Reebye, founder of Let’s Talk WOC, sheds light on the unimaginable hardships women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo endure in the mines. From being underpaid to facing a rising rate of sexual assault, these women live through a humanitarian crisis the world must not ignore. Even as teenagers, **we can make an impact** by amplifying the voices of those working in the DRC, raising awareness, and holding companies accountable for their actions. 1. **Raise awareness** about the situation in the DRC. The more people know, the more pressure we can put on those responsible. 2. **Be mindful** of your consumer choices. 3. **Do your research.** Investigate the supply chains of companies you buy from, choose refurbished or secondhand electronics, and recycle your devices responsibly. Let’s strive for a world where our technology is not built on exploitation.

i just genuinely don’t understand how you can call yourself a femme and not love butches. there is no femme if there is no butch !!
