Wow wonder if I would’ve listened if someone had told me this. Now I’m just damaged!

Your cousin’s work sounds very interesting. Glad you’re able to have those conversations with one another.

damn ppl STILL mad...

I JUST WANT THAT ROLY ROLY

I’m pretty astounded by the comments here. We’re talking about the labor of constantly asking people to do things that we are socially conditioned to “be better at” and our male partners “worse at.” It DOES involve personal responsibility (which the author calls confrontation) but we don’t live in this world without…

Sometimes it was uncomfortable but you can teach an old dog new tricks. I’m lucky because they’re…

And every white person thinks they woulda been the Joan Mulholland back in the day...smdh

They need to find out who tf did this and kick them out. Or maybe shame them but keep them in school. Someone will snitch. Find them.

oh SHIT

Unfortunately they are at many, many community events. It’s something community organizers need to keep in mind when you organize a “Know Your Rights Training for Undocumented Folks,” for example.

He’s responded now by saying it was unintentional to be alone and that he’s embarrassed. Seems genuine but also kinda wack...

It just makes her cry so much!!!!!
