Need the vulnerable to sacrifice their lives So everyone else can dine inside Rapid testing is such a hassle Gotta keep building up the capitalism castle!

They say it’s a beautiful landmark Well, I think it’s just a tourist attraction!

look at me. listen to me. bigots and queerphobes don’t know the distinction between a trans person, a gnc cis gay person, and a cisgender heterosexual crossdresser. all of these people are just queer degenerates to them. that is why their anti-drag bills are written so vaguely as to encompass any possible mundane gender nonconformity - so they can target as many of us as possible in one ruling. and that’s why you need to stop trying to put lines between these groups in regards to ‘who’s more oppressed’ and ‘who has the right to talk about gender’ - gender nonconformity and transgenderism are punished in exactly the same way. cut one of us and the other bleeds. our fight is the same.

#emo poetry #we don’t have the luxury for a queer renaissance right now #you defend trans people you defend cishet crossdressers you defend guys who paint their nails and wear eyeliner do you fucking get it

[translation] "Pear Blossom" by Yoshiya Nobuko

Although the fiction of "Japan's first lesbian author" Yoshiya Nobuko was (and remains) hugely popular, of her entire body of work only one short story has ever been published in English translation, and no (other) fan translations appear to exist --- despite the enormous influence of her work on the predominant aesthetics and themes of shoujo manga. The beautiful flowery style and melodrama so famously attached to shoujo manga are thanks in large part to Yoshiya, and I'm very happy to be able to share one of her stories with you now!

"Pear Blossom" is a sparse and vivid short story from Yoshiya's early collection Hanamonogatari ("Flower tales"), a book noted for its use of beautiful imagery and its emphasis on the importance of romantic relationships between girls.

Read it here!

(nota bene, "Pear Blossom" is in the style of romantic, 'narcissistic' girlhood tragedy for which Yoshiya is most famous; approach accordingly. I've also included a page of notes on Yoshiya and her early lesbian fiction.)

#yoshiya nobuko #yuri #lesbian #translation #shoujo manga #(not that this is manga. sorry. prose-with-some-poetry only.)#this is a rather short story but please imagine me emerging absolutely covered in blood from fighting with it #trying to wrangle the lushness of yoshiya's writing style AND the subtleties she squeezed into such a pared-down story. into english #there's something about the flavor of yoshiya nobuko's writing that is just perfect to me. something about the luxurious description #and the fragmented force of phrases linked by punctuation gaps......i don't know! it's just wonderful!#i feel like i don't really know how to post things so they'll actually catch eyes anymore #just take my word for it that you DESPERATELY want to read yoshiya nobuko

“The Black Love Imprint” 🤎

In the realm of love, a radiant hue,

Black hearts entwined, a bond so true.

A symphony of souls, harmonies rise,

Embracing the strength that love implies.

Within the nucleus, a sacred space,

The black family unit finds its grace.

Roots deeply planted, branches spread wide,

Nurturing love, where faith does reside.

Through trials endured, they stand as one,

Facing the storms until they are done.

Resilient spirits, unyielding and strong,

In unity they triumph, against all wrong.

Generations intertwined, wisdom shared,

Ancestors' stories, deeply cared.

Passing down the flame, a torch so bright,

Igniting the path with love's pure light.

Black love, a beacon in the night,

Guiding hearts, dispelling plight.

Through laughter and tears, they find their way,

Together they thrive, come what may.

In each tender touch, a healing balm,

Affirming the worth, a soothing psalm.

Celebrating beauty, melanin's embrace,

Love's tapestry woven with elegance and grace.

For in the medleys of life we find,

Black love's essence, power defined.

A testament to love's enduring art,

The black family unit, is a masterpiece from the heart.

— The Black Feminine Society (CEO)

Sometimes I talk to myself, you know, I question myself because what I carry is very heavy. Sometimes there's something that brings me down, pulls me down. But I look for strength and I don't find it. Sometimes I find it in music, texts, and poetry. Mateus Nascimento
