Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
If you're holding back on being masc because you think you need to be a skinny white man to pass, give that the fuck up. Be big if you're big, be brown if you're brown, be assertive, take up space, be whatever the fuck kind of man/masc you are and stop waiting. Stop trying to diminish your power out of fear.
hehehehe it is :) apparently according to people that know that stuff it means something?? (i've been called scary and insane but i only agree with insane because i like writing)
JJ took a steady breath to compose herself, clenching her hands so tightly that her knuckles turn white. She slowly counts in her head to calm down, trying hard to ward off the frustrated tears threatening to fall. Why was Emily pushing her away like this? Why was she so willing to give up without hearing her side of the story? Didn’t that matter, too? “Can you please talk to me!”
Emily stands rigid at the door, back facing the blonde. Her hand tightens around the doorknob. “I have nothing to say to you, Jennifer.”
JJ sniffs harshly, frustrated tears finally leaking from her eyes. She stubbornly wipes at her eyes with the backs of her wrists. “So that’s it then? You’re just going to walk out of here like none of this ever never mattered?” She asks, digging the toe of her sock covered foot into the hotel carpet.
Emily’s jaw tenses. “It never mattered to you,” she retorts harshly.
“Of course it mattered to me!” JJ snaps instantly. She fights hard to keep her voice steady, more frustrated tears falling. “I love you, you fucking idiot! God! That’s all that’s ever mattered to me!”
And just like that, everything is out in the open.
JJ’s laid herself bare to Emily.
No more secrets, no more lies. There’s no walls to hide behind. There’s no turning back from this. She’s laid out all her cards on the table, risked everything to finally allow herself to be honest.
Emily turns to at the outburst, body tensing. Her brain is swirling with a million thoughts, makes her feel disoriented and dizzy.
The tension between them is thick. The room is so silent, Emily swears she can hear their hearts beating. Perhaps it’s her own, thudding irradically in her ribcage like a herd of wild, galloping horses.
“Convince me.”
Emily’s mouth falls open in shock as the words tumble from her mouth. She goes to quickly take them back before she hesitates and stops herself. Wasn’t that what she wanted?
The two women stare at each other from across the room, both frozen in place.
Emily meets JJ’s steely gaze, swallowing audibly at the sight.
JJ’s eyes are dark, her expression cool and calculated. The gears in her head are slowly turning as she considers the brunette’s words. If it’s a challenge Emily wants, fine.
She’ll give it.
After all, she never was one to back down from a challenge.
Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.
Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?
Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.
Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!
Hi everyone, I wanted to boost these two GoFundMes from people looking to evacuate Gaza. Please help them in whatever way you can, donate what you can, because this is a matter of life and death. Reblog and please spread the word, please help them get their families to safety.
Each of them has only reached about $1000 of their goal, far from the $45,000 needed by Khaled and the $20,000 needed by Shareef.

Shout out to butches who knew who they were before they had the words. The butches who always took on the protective caregiver role, the butches who had hype feminine best friends who they would have gone to war for, the butches who didn’t recognize themselves until they stole their dads clothes and looked in the mirror.
