@camdenuyl we watched the Alejandro video so many times because we *appreciated art* and like lady gaga, we too were straight allies to those in the lgbt community
first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
insane hearing children speak a romantic language like italian this 8 year old in the pool keeps saying “è bellisimo! che bello!” and i’m like wow a poet… at her young age
