— miss ajita wilson, she’s the first known afro-latina trans actress to star in european cinema in the 70s & 80s. they deemed her “the black aphrodite”. also, first & only black transgender ever to be featured in the player’s magazine (1981). 🏳️⚧️🌺📽️🎞️ an underrated trailblazer!
i was shocked to discover that there are some people who actually can't visualize images when reading a book coz for me, an entire movie is playing out in my head with the perfect cast
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “I should tell you, in Tennessee, a big slice of Black residents in Memphis will now have their votes folded into a White county called Williamson County. Williamson County literally STILL HAS a confederate flag on their county seal, but they’ll have just the right size of a slice of Black voters from Memphis to make sure they can never, with their other Memphis residents, elect a member of Congress of their choosing. There’s a reason why people are calling this Jim Crow 2.0. This REALLY IS plainly an effort to drag us back to the the post reconstruction era after the civil war…”😳
I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.
The KKK is alive and well in Tennessee. The Sargeant of Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.
FUCKING SHAMEFUL!
Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.
Not Bad Bunny.
Not Benito.
His real name.
His family name.
Then he grabbed the mic and said:
“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”
In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.
And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.
Because the message was that important to me.
They said he was “un-American.”
They said nobody would understand him.
They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”
And he SHOWED OUT!
He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
He staged a wedding on the field.
He recreated a bodega.
He gave us a whole scene of family and love.
He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.
All in his native language.
And he didn’t flinch.
His lyrics were clear messages:
“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”
“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”
And that last line:
“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”
Hopefully my loved ones will never move.
That’s about families being separated.
Forced to leave.
Displacement.
Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.
He made the mainstream come to him.
He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.
And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽
"women are people with periods."
not really many women dont menstruate.
"well, women are people with uterus!"
you can literally remove your uterus.
"women are people born with uterus!"
you can be born without one.
"women are ppl with two X chromosomes"
you can be AFAB and have a Y chromosome.
"well women are people who are female at conception."
everyone is female at conception.
there is no way to define womanhood that excludes trans women but includes all cis women.
caring for immigrants is one of the only things the bible is actually clear about so i never want to hear conservative christians claim their beliefs are biblical ever again
i won’t be posting anymore but this account will remain open because moonbin’s life and the happiness and love he brought to everyone deserves to be kept forever.
