Our intelligence is insulted cos under the binaries of the system you can’t be both beautiful & intelligent. Anything we have is stolen as we’re not allowed to own but be owned. When we speak up about our abuse we’re deemed crazy. Enough👏🏾is👏🏾enough👏🏾
Pretty privilege under capitalism is a damn lie really good looking, kind & smart ppl are seen as free game to be disrespected & sexually degraded. Constantly surveilled, policed & then villainised if we don’t give fucked up ppl what they want (taking our kit off all the time 🫤)
Everyone in the land thirsting after 1 guy is a bit much 😟 There’s a certain level of thirst that should only be reserved for your partners. When a bunch of randoms are throwing that energy all at you, it tears you apart
“Nobody is coming to save you” but your day literally gets better after you consume art made by other people. You hang w friends & you’re no longer suicidal, even if just for a few minutes. They’re lying to you about the significance of community. People are saving you EVERYDAY!
Mothers who give birth in their late 30’s & 40’s live longer so the propaganda for women especially to give birth before is literally a plot to kill us early & a bunch of dumb bitches are like yeah sure we’ll go along w it 😑
truly believe anti marketing will become a thing soon… still marketing but it’s just a different approach, more intimate, personal, private, one on one. less about the projection of scale. i’m into it xx
I’ve just been thinking about how abusive black women are the frontline warriors of white supremacy & this really sums it up, they thrive on the blood of Black Girls & Women. It’s intentional & deliberate not just a byproduct of trauma
Viola Davis reveals Juilliard trained her by putting a pencil in her mouth to check her tongue position
"No one wants to see a play or a movie and look at technical proficiency. You wanna be moved. You want a human experience, you wanna feel less alone. They don't get at that"
"They get at, literally, when you are rehearsing at Juilliard, they have a teacher with a pencil who follows you through the rehearsal and puts the pencil in your mouth to see where your tongue is and where it's positioned when you articulate"
"Or there's a person following you throughout rehearsal, holding your ribcage to see if you're breathing properly through your diaphragm"
"And so when it gets like that and you leave yourself and your soul behind, you're not an artist"
"And can I just say, on top of that, it's Eurocentric training. So when you're studying all of those classics, there's a clear idea of what all of those characters look like. And that's not me"
"So then what am I supposed to do with my Blackness? What am I supposed to do with my deep voice and my wide nose?"
🤒🤒 I feel like this world cup has really made it lose its allure as the dynamics of white supremacy, colonisation & nationalism come completely to the forefront
