Tom won’t let them sing in the plaza anymore :/
its may which means happy asian and pacific islander heritage month! reminder to white people that:
1. our cultures and languages are not some hip trendy aesthetic for your instagram
2. dont act like youre an expert in our culture just bc you like, eat pad thai once a week
3. dont use asian names bc you “think they sound cool” or “want to protect your identity” or bullshit like that
4. darkskinned asians are real and exist. so do mixed asians
5. asians are not “poc lite.” racism and colorism have and still do affect us
if i see any of the clownery listed above this month or anytime at all really i will beat you into the ground with my big asian fists!

“Unfortunately, I was extremely slut-shamed. I was called ‘nothing but a stripper.’ [He said] why would he ever be interested in me, I’m just a bald-head stripper from Philly. I was a golddigger; apparently he had to take 30 showers after being with me. That’s what he said.“

This is important.
Her being so vulnerable.. She must’ve helped so many women
Still relevant. And it’s fuck Kanye 1000% round my way. This is a fuck Kanye zone.
This been a fuck Kanaye zone since he started flaunting a confederate flag and saying racism is a dated concept. But his continued slut shaming of Amber Rose is what solidifies the Fuck Kanye attitude.

“In an interview with The Guardian on Tuesday, the author, model and budding feminist activist discussed women’s sexuality and how important it is to include men in feminist conversations. “Being a feminist is not just talking to women, it’s talking to guys too,” Rose told The Guardian. “That’s extremely important. It starts with us embracing each other and being role models for each other, and bringing that awareness to our sons and the men around us.” “I used to call women sluts and whores all the time. Because that’s what society taught me: That that was O.K. and that it was what I was supposed to be doing,” she told The Guardian. “But I grew up, and I have seen these issues, and I have become very passionate about it. I am a former slut-shamer and a newfound feminist.”
“Women of color are often made to be hypersexual before any of our sexual behaviors or practices are even known”, she says. “That’s a long history that is embedded there.”
Do you ever wanna bond with someone so bad you’re like “damn i wish we were knights on a dangerous quest”
For anyone who needs to hear it:
Your late teens/20s are a weird time in your life. Don’t panic if you think somebody is more “ahead” than you. The concept of being ahead is nonexistent anyway because life’s not a race and each person has different hurdles to overcome.
It’s totally fine if you’re single. It’s fine if you’re still finishing school. It’s fine if you are still looking for a better job, or for any job at all. It’s fine if you haven’t had sex yet, or haven’t gotten your driver license yet. It’s fine if you haven’t gotten your own place yet. It’s fine if you are still figuring things out, saving money, putting the pieces together. It’s fine.
Don’t feel jealous of or lesser than people your age who have done these things. You don’t know what obstacles they faced to get there and they don’t know what you’ve faced. Don’t undermine the progess you have made.
Because, trust me, you have made progress. Even if it hasn’t materialized yet in the traditional way.
You are still young. Like really young.
You got time.

mom: where are you going its almost midnight
