“A lot of anime is power fantasy stuff. I was about to connect the struggles of marginalized people to these power fantasies. But in the middle of it, life started throwing me haymakers, so I needed the power fantasy for myself.”

“You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
You've got a warm heart
You've got a beautiful brain
But it's disintegrating
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
Medicine”

“drugs are arbitrarily broken up into categories:
legal vs illegal
medicine vs not medicine
recreational/part of society vs something to be ashamed of
these categories weren’t created based on actual knowledge & research. They’re based in stigma and prejudice”

"Niggas want Grammys and shit,
that's funny to me
Cause since the first take it's been about money to me
I'm just tryin' to get what Diddy got,
doing what got Biggie shot
They told me that I wasn't shit,
but left me in a litter box
Give it up and get a job"

First off,
I'ma start charging y'all per compliment
You give to me,
see how much purse I can earn off of it
As far as bars,
you heard wrong if you heard continent
It's incontinence,
inconsequent turned sponsoring"

For us all to work together on it rather than us always being the people who have to shout because we are the ones most disadvantaged by whatever system is in place.

“For men to take the lead on feminist issues
For white people to take the lead with issues around race
For able-bodied people to take the lead on issues around disability
For straight people to engage with queer politics
[For cis people to engage with gender diversity]
My Dads cousin told my mom not to marry him when they were engaged because he had heart issues and would die while young. Casual ableism eerily reminds me of my own dating life. #LikeFatherLikeSon#DatingWhileDisabled

feeding me, organizing events and purchasing books + merchandise. Life didn’t turn out the way I envisioned it 7 years ago, but I’m still levelling up at my own pace and for that I’m grateful 🙏🏿 #AlwaysStrivesAndProsper
