Growing up as a Muslim girl radicalizes you so fuckin fast because you are hit with the patriarchy from every culture. You meet Somali girls, Afghan girls, Arab girls, Sudanese girls, Malay girls, Pakistani girls… and it hits you.
It’s all the same. Men do this everywhere. Aunties judge everywhere. Brothers get away with anything everywhere. Girls get blamed for everything everywhere. They all use the same tactics: all different languages, clothing, foods… but same hatred of women and girls.

Literally every man who has committed ANY SORT of sexual crimes no matter the degree should be fucking OFFED at the FIRST OFFENCE. I'm convinced that nearly every major rape and murder can be prevented this way.
The man who murdered two women in my town in a brutal HUMAN SACRIFICE served exactly ONE YEAR in prison some years ago for brutally raping a 78 y/o woman. At that point the "justice system" is just condoning all his future crimes.

learning to cheerfully dislike other people is I think a critical component of getting along with people who don't like you. Like as soon as I got a solid grasp on the fact that there is a wide swath of humanity that gets on my nerves and that it's my problem, not theirs, it got easier to be around people I find annoying. Once that's settled, it's easy to flip the reasoning around and conclude that if someone doesn't like me, that's a quirk of their own strange and arbitrary tastes, not a judgment upon either of us as a person. You can't like everyone. Not everyone will like you. It's fine. It's not a personal attack in either direction. We can exchange cordial nods across the room and then go on with our lives

you don’t have to be a separatist or desire a separatist life to understand that female separatism and female liberation are twin goals
the option to live a separatist life is a requirement for female liberation
if you fight for female liberation, you must also fight for the right of your separatist sisters to live completely free from male influence

As the key witness for the prosecution, the Houston rapper, real name Megan Pete, described her account of night of July 12, 2020, saying on record that the assault was the result of an argument she had with Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, and Kelsey Harris, her former best friend and assistant, while driving home from a Hollywood Hills pool party in the early morning hours.
Wearing a purple suit, red-bottom, black stilettos and a black bob hairstyle, Pete, 27, testified that the shooting and its aftermath have impacted her health, both physically and mentally. "I can't even be happy," she said, her voice breaking during her afternoon testimony. "I can't hold conversations with people for a long time. I don't feel like I want to be on this earth. I wish he would have just shot and killed me, if I knew I would have to go through this torture."
The Grammy winner recounted that she and Peterson had an intimate but not exclusive relationship in 2020, one that Harris did not know about at the time. Pete knew Harris had a "crush on" Tory, so she hid the relationship. (When asked specifically why she had not previously revealed the nature of her relationship with Peterson, Pete said she was embarrassed, "because it's disgusting at this point. How could I share my body with someone who could do this to me?")
The fight in the vehicle started when Peterson hinted at the relationship to Harris and then tried to pit the two women against each other, calling them "bitches and hoes" in the car.
Pete testified that, after exiting the vehicle for a second time on the drive home, Peterson shouted at her, "Dance, bitch," then fired five shots at her from the passenger side, striking her in the feet. "I felt shocked. I felt hurt. I wasn't sure if this was really happening. I looked at my feet, I saw the blood and I fell to the ground," the "WAP" star testified.
When expressly asked about changing her story to police the night of the shooting — from stepping in glass to allegedly being shot by Peterson — Pete gave context for her choice in the moment, starting with her distrust of the police.
"I don't feel safe in the car. I don't feel safe with the police," Pete said between tears as she described the aftermath of the incident, when responding officers had her, Peterson, Harris and Jaquan Smith, Peterson's bodyguard, step out of the vehicle they were stopped in.
Pete, who shared that she's grown up deeply suspicious of cops, said that wariness was further stoked by the 2020 climate, George Floyd's murder and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests: "In the Black community — in my community — it's not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers."
Pete then spoke briefly about how "women aren't believed when they speak out." George Mgdesyan, Peterson's attorney, objected on the grounds that the comment was tangential to the case.
Beyond fear of the police and questions surrounding survivor credibility, Pete also shared the concern that implicating Peterson could negatively impact her career in hip-hop.
"This situation has only been worse for me and it has only made him more famous," Pete said during morning testimony. "Because I was shot, I've been turned into some kind of villain, and he's the victim. This has messed up my whole life ... This whole situation in the industry is like a big boy's club ... I'm telling on one of y'all friends, now you're all about to hate me."

i'm completely and totally tired of the infantilization I suffer as a disabled person
it's not cute how friends get visibly uncomfortable when While Talking About Their Sexual Lives I add something about mine
it's not funny how train revisors talk to my caregiver (that doesn't even speak the language) rather than me. even the taxi driver whom has to drive me home talks to my teacher rather than me
it's not fine when people assume I can't possibly be intelligent or capable of advocating for myself, or of managing my money. it's not cool when they patronisingly praise me for not wasting my money, and then use that to deny me further aid
it's devastating when doctors and specially psychologs don't trust me when I express I struggle with some things or experience others. it's mind blowing how much I have to dumb myself down to not be thrown out of the consult becouse I do my own research since they don't fucking care about me
We deserve Autonomy,
We deserve that people trust us with Our Experiences,
We deserve that they trust us when we say we Can Do it and when we say we can Not,
We deserve to not be Talked Down to,
We deserve to be treated like Persons and I mean Whole Persons, with wants and desires and sexuality and preferances and gender.
We Deserve To Be Believed About Our Experiencess
We Deserve Help And Not Just To Survive. We Deserve To Thrive.
