O’Shae Sibley was stabbed to death for voguing at a gas station. Someone killed him for dancing because they hated witnessing his joy and comfort with who he was as a human being- a gay Black man. Someone violently took his life because he was LIVING. And that’s heartbreaking

Be the canvas and the ink.

We ALL deserve a healthy and safe COMMUNITY.

I’ve been having such a great year of inspiration going to great shows this year, Andrea Bocelli ☑️ Erykah Badu ☑️ Maxwell with the SF Symphony next week and Beyoncé in Vegas next month…I’m feeling pretty damn good. 🙏🏾✨

Some people will always be miserable, but you don’t have to keep them company.

A happy and prosperous Friday to you all!

Two-Spirit (gay and lesbian and trans) people have been living here in North America for thousands of years prior to the arrival of the white man. They even predate Christianity. Therefore, they have more right to be here than colonizing Christian immigrants. (And their descendants.) Agree? 🪶🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage.

If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

The truth is within
each and every one of us.

When we take the time
to silence the outer noise
and calm the outer movement,
the divine truth emerges like
the blooming of a lotus flower…🪷

Close your eyes - Pause
Take your time - Breathe
Quieten down - Listen

Feeling good

If you need to pretend or hide your true self,
you are with the wrong people.

Surround yourself with beings
of the same #frequency as YOU.

[Brandon West @BrandonWest]

One time for the one time!!! Okay?!

If there is a road to healing
It seems one must study trigonometry
For it’s revealing

Hoes stay flooding the streets

It’s hard being strong
But strong is all I got for me

I didn’t realize the trauma would last so long

But it sticks around, unlike you
Pushing me to carry on

Though I no longer blame the game
I will not fault myself for the pain

A #poem
“Reflections in pale light” -1/6/2023
-Brandon West

The sun is about to come up
And so am I

I’m covered in robes
Waves over sand upon a beach

I’ve heard more from foes than friends
Maybe that’s a blessing for me

I sit upon a hill thinking lonely

[Brandon West @BrandonWest]

@theindigecunt That would be fun!

[Brandon West @BrandonWest]

My feminine side. The strongest side.

[Brandon West @BrandonWest]

I get up before the sun. What’s wrong with me?! 🥴

[Brandon West @BrandonWest]

I tell my age by hopping on shit after it’s faded.

For instance. I just started tweeting.

Hashtag laugh out loud.

[Brandon West @BrandonWest]

It's 6:48am. I just woke up. No satin pillow. No satin cap.

I was so shocked.

Literally, the first thing that pounced into my mind:

"Nah, we loc'in' and caring for this right here." #IYKYk
