If I overcame a disease that imprisoned me in my body, you would never be able to stop me from moving! Bitch I’d be tap dancing every time to doorbell rang.
kids need to hear you defend them btw. when you see someone wronging them, don’t save it for a “grown folk’s conversation,” step in and say “you are not being fair to this child.” that’s critical for their self-esteem. many kids have never been shown that they’re worth defending.
I’ll keep reminding you guys: I had an accident in 2016 on my way to write an exam and was the only seriously injured person.

My bloodied body, of course.
You guys don’t know how callous and insensitive your “testimonies” sound until you’re on the other side of them. You make your god sound like a uniquely evil psychopath. And you’ll never accept that you’re indirectly arguing that your god is indeed neither just nor all-powerful. If your survival is proof that god is real, then for the people who weren’t so lucky it is proof that he isn’t.

In a recent conversation with The Observer, Chaka Khan responded to being described as a “straight icon for queer visibility.”
“A straight icon? What’s the straight part? What do you mean, straight in what way?” she asked.
When the interviewer clarified the term as “heterosexual,” Khan replied: “Am I? How do you know what the f**k I am? I don’t ever share that part of my life. That’s nobody’s business but mine.”
She later stated that she is “for everybody,” adding: “I don’t care what you sleep with at night. If your heart is in the right place, that’s all I care about.”

"When people talk about the need for Black Excellence I counter with an insistence on Black mediocrity: the right for black people to be as average, flawed, compromised & mistaken as any other group of people. The right, ultimately, to be human." R.I.P. Jason Arday
