Waters that wash salt to the sea. Whispers of leaves unfolding. A planet awake and aware. Writer. Scholar. Ecowomanist killjoy. Alchemist. Owl. Dark as night. Black as pitch. MA English Literature. PhD candidate Environmental Studies.
Don’t forget the hideous beaches! Not worth crowding— I mean, visiting!
Someone told Zendaya she looks good in everything and she believed them. Here she’s chosen an interestingly horrific melange of cultural appropriation and sleep paralysis demon. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, girl. You most certainly should not.
Gaultier also has the perfect ensemble for when you want to look like you had a bloody blowout in a diaper hours ago and now it’s just dragging behind you as you sluggishly make your way home. Elegance in the front, violent incontinence in the back. It’s all the rage!
This poor baby bird has fallen from the nest and into a field of straw and fabric scraps. Soon the ants will find it. This haunted scarecrow has grown sentient and is hell-bent on seeking revenge against its maker. Wait. I’m being told this is haute couture. It’s Gaultier. Are you impressed?
Gaultier’s new designer has something perfect for those evenings you want to look like both a scrub brush and a horse. A horse maid? A tulle brush? You’ll need an XL taxi… Wait. This just in… the driver refuses to pick you up because you look fucking insane, and not at all in a fashionable way.
White women, this is why we look at you side-eyed when you decry your oppression at the hands of white male supremacy. You are raising your sons to benefit from privileged access even as you claim to decry such privilege.
Mine is “Rags to Riches,” featuring Tisha Campbell in determined-to-be-an-icon mode. She chewed the hell out of that scenery, just bite marks everywhere. 😖😭
I feel like I just unlocked a special challenge. Do I get a prize? Just kidding! Two black kitties ARE the prize. 🤩
If you’re going to diagnose people, you have a responsibility to honor the depths and breadth of their trauma. You’re choosing to attribute to neurodivergence what could just as easily be attributed to racial trauma. I’m not downplaying neurodivergence. You’re downplaying racism.
You’re Balfour on Egypt, claiming knowledge you can’t possibly possess. You can see signs that support whatever argument you want to make. That doesn’t actually make them true of the phenomena you’re observing. Assumptions =/= diagnoses. Edward Said, Orientalism, 1979:
Breakfast soup— pinto beans with kimchi, spinach, and garlic. Don’t knock it til ya try it! 😋 🍲
This is what they did to someone’s precious tribute. There used to be a laminated photo too. I don’t care who you are. If you can destroy something like this, when someone’s heart is heavy with enough pain to put it there, you have lost your way. Fix your heart or life will surely fix it for you.
This is a not-very-good picture of an angel figurine that sat for months on a bench in my favorite woods. Someone took it and smashed it on the other side of the path. I know you won’t see this, but karma is real— and All That Is saw how you treated that memorial to a loved one. You will pay. 🕰️⏳
I love you, too, cup of coffee that’s saving my ass while I write my Qualifying Exam. I love you too. ☕️ 🫶🏿✨
Ruin a movie title by adding one word: The Royal Flush Tenenbaums.
Sydney Sweeney w/o make-up looks like that weird girl from the church down the street who hopes to one day stop smelling like a fish fry. She is giving formerly-neglected urchin who needs you to teach her how to clean her mouth properly. This is not a sex symbol, white America! You sound desperate!
Ashley Fairbanks is a tool of violent, genocidal white supremacy dressed in Indigenous drag. She shames the stories she claims to keep.
This is exactly what I imagined she’d look like. The white lady who’s “just asking questions” because she can hide among the eugenicists if their plans ever come to pass. No sense of personal threat, no sense of personal responsibility.
Yep. They are quite transparently rushing to build the interactive set of The Masque of the Red Death as we speak.
Before some knucklehead shows up here with an AI degree and starts talking shit: This woman isn’t just some activist pulling ideas out of the air. (But thank God for activists!) She’s a Harvard-educated JD, a scholar, a theorist, a writer, AND an activist. And she’s smarter than you will ever be.
🗣️ I BEEN SAYIN’! Let me see them thighs in some slutty little shorts!🗣️
