"Framing issues related to child custody through a lens of marital recognition, similarly, means ignoring the racist, sexist, and classist operation of the child welfare system and passing up opportunities to form coalitions across populations targeted for family dissolution by that system."

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN
Of course
I walk downstairs after not speaking to my mom all day to find my parents watching Black Swan and
OF COURSE I walk down right as the lesbian scene is starting and
OF COURSE
my dad fast forwards it and
OF COURSE
of course.
My father completely and utterly failing at a fistbump at 8:30am
Yeah so
Pilots are kind of my favorite people. Whenever they get me to my destination safely, I want to kiss their feet. Generally, I feel like my plane is going down anytime we hit a bump. There’s alota lives on this plane, y’all. So thanks for keepin me alive.
Sincerely,
Not dead human being
"White people say [“It’s not fair, if white people can’t say n*gger, black people shouldn’t either”]. And yet, why do I never hear: “It’s not fair, if white people make more just because their skin color, shouldn’t Black people receive equal pay too?” “It’s not fair, if men own 99% of the world, shouldn’t women get property too?” “It’s not fair, if Black people get pulled over dwb, shouldn’t white people get pulled over for no reason too?” “It’s not fair, if white people can breath around the cops without getting shot, shouldn’t people of color be able to as well?” I don’t really hear anything along those lines by people who cry it’s not fair that they can’t say a historically scarring word while some black people still use the term. Never heard them say anything like that. So they can kiss ass and shut the fuck up."

The nerves start the closer I get,
waiting for the curve, where is that fucking curve
I know it’s here
The tears come, the anxiety…
that fucking anxiety
Doors open left or right
Right, towards Brighton 14th
Walking, coffee, the nerves subside
The walkers, the chairs, the foreign words,
the same as before, nothing changes
nothing changes
Pass the same empty lot from years ago-
still empty
Pass the building
nothing changes
Pass the park and our spot
Nothing changes
Feelings unknown
walk on, walk on
The boardwalk is cold but nothing changes, the same old faces
Look out, the sea, the ships-
maybe if I look far enough i’ll be home
And soon they’ll all be dead.
sometimes i forget how much it sucks to be gay
I consider/know that i’m someone with a lot of privilege so sometimes, actually, most of the time, I forget that there are parts of my identity that make me different.
The stares, the disgusted looks, the snarky comments- i’d like to be able to hold and kiss the girl i love without being judged, and objectified, and fucking critiqued every time we are in public.
fucking, fuck
