As a woman of color, I experience discrimination daily. Yesterday I boarded a city bus. The only open seat was in the back. You can imagine my trauma. I was visibly shaking. Yet not a single white person offered to give up their seat, not even after I told them I was 1/8 Black.
I am fully vaxxed and boosted and I double mask in public places (single mask on Zoom). Yet I just tested positive for Covid for the 5th time this year. Lesson learned. You can never be too cautious. 😷
This transphobic YouTuber tells kids "Only boys can be the daddy, only girls can be the mommy." I caught my youngest watching this garbage propaganda on a friend's device and I nearly threw up. I am still shaking.
Misgendering a pet can result in serious microsubconscious distress. Pay attention to clues. Your pet will let you know his/her/their/cir identity through things like body language, toy preferences, and reaction to gendered pet clothing.

We are on the way to the ER. My head is pounding. My date & I were having drinks a few mins ago when I glanced up at a tv & saw the words “Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been reinstated”. My head began to spin. That is the last thing I remember before waking up on the floor.
I just caught my middle child (the eldest) watching a film from the 1940’s. Panicked, I asked if zhe was watching for the purpose of deconstructing and spotting bigoted themes. Zhe said “no, I just really like this movie.”
I feel sick and angry and betrayed.
I need a distraction from the horrifying news of Elon Musk’s violent takeover.
✊🏽Name an ordinary object and I will tell you why it is racist.✊🏽
I will answer as many of you as I care to.
I am furious and feel violated. If anyone has information as to the identity of the creator of this monstrosity, please contact me and call the police.
I. Am. Livid. A few minutes ago I was accused of racism and called “Karen” for threatening to call the police on a white-adjacent black Trump supporter at the grocery store who glared at me and made me feel unsafe.
My 6yo woke me at 2am, sobbing. “Sweetie, did you dream about climate again?” “N-no Mommy, worse. I d-dreamed the Rocket Man t-took over the world.”
Today we will sell the Teslas for scrap. My 6yo made me realize fossil fuel is far less dangerous to the planet than Elon Musk.
The white people behind me received their coffees 2 minutes ago and I am still waiting for my decaf almond milk latteccino with fresh ground nutmeg. Racism is everywhere.

BREAKING: Transphobic hatemonger
@MattWalshBlog
is transitioning to a woman. The documentary covering his journey is entitled Lady Baller and will be released Friday.
I do not celebrate Thanksgiving. To do so would be a disgrace to my ancestors. Instead, I abstain from all food for 4 hours, during which time I burn incense and recite Indigenous mourning poetry I wrote in college.
My cousin invited us for dinner tomorrow. I inquired whether she still uses a gas stovetop. She said she does and has no plans to switch to electric. I blocked her.
It is always a good day to end a toxic relationship. ☀️
I refuse to hire white people. My cleaner is an undocumented Mexican immigrant woman, my driver is a formerly incarcerated Black man, & my gardener is a Native American to whom I also pay rent for living on his land.
“Died suddenly” has become a right-wing dog whistle for “everything I don’t like is the vax.”
Stop over-thinking and trust the experts. It is better to die for truth than to live as a bigot. 💉🩸
Trans woman Christynne Wood continues to be misgendered and chased out of women’s locker rooms despite the fact that she 100% passes as female. Unconscionable.
My child just woke me up screaming from night terrors. Zhe has not slept well ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter. I try to shield zher from the horrors of this platform, but zhe is very perceptive and seemingly absorbs my anxieties by osmosis, poor bebe.
I am attempting to determine our new cat’s gender, but thus far the cat seems to dislike both masc and femme clothes, and even shows contempt for gender nonconforming outfits. I am concerned because I do not wish to misgender the cat, but I am unsure what pronouns to use.
Today I made a mental assumption about a new aquaintance’s gender before asking for their pronouns. While my assumption proved true, there is no excuse for my mental mistake. It terrifies me to realize how close I was to commiting an act of literal mental violence.
If your cat stops using the litter box, they may be trying to communicate to you that they were assigned the wrong species at birth. Talk to your vet about pet transitions. Remember, not all felines are cats.
I do not purchase products with the term “whitening” in their advertising. This sort of subliminal messaging contributes to societal unconscious racial bias and upholds white superiority.
I have spoken to the police and they believe the culprit of this heinous act of racial photoshop violence was one of the following accounts:

I will being suing for emotional damages in the near future.
I am furious and feel violated. If anyone has information as to the identity of the creator of this monstrosity, please contact me and call the police.
How to run a white supremacist media platform:
👉🏽 Require ID for blue checkmark (BIPOC often cannot get IDs)
👉🏽 Charge fee for blue checkmark (BIPOC are disproportionately poor)
👉🏽 Allow conservatives to speak
Elon Musk is bringing back Jim Crow.

Yes I have an American flag but not because I am patriotic. I have an American flag so that I can fly it at half mast 366 days a year in protest of systemic anti Black trans fatphobia.
Fatphobia is real. I once identified as 300 lbs for a week and the micro aggressions were unmistakable. An airline declined me an XL seat. My application as a horse racing jockey was rejected. And a local tailor would not sew a dress large enough for my spatial identity.
Tragically, many trans people will never realize they are trans unless they are presented with the possibility at a young age. It is heartbreaking to think of how many trans people have lived their entire lives in their assigned at birth sex and never knew the difference.
Tell me your favorite Christmas tradition and I will tell you why it is problematic.
(I will reply to VERY few of you. My time is limited and I do not owe you my emotional labor)
Yesterday my daughter (formerly son, formerly assigned female at birth) said she wants to go as Sam Smith for Halloween. I told her that would be inappropriate for her to do as she is a cis female. They told me this morning they are now nonbinary.
Watch: BIPOC peacefully protest at a Golden Corral after table of whites receives their steak first. Management claims “they ordered their steak rarer” in weak attempt to cover their racist actions. Disgusting
I am being overrun by rightwing bots and I feel unsafe. I do not know who to distrust and who to distrust less.
If you started following me in the past 48 hours, please comment below to let me know exactly how you found me.
Nauseous and shaking 🤢
Reminder to Christmas Celebrators:
Do not decorate outdoors and be sure to keep decorations away from windows to avoid triggering those who do not observe the holiday.
Last night after our antiracist meditations my 4yo looked up at me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Mommy, Amewica would be less wacist if you was Pwesident”
I corrected his grammar and we cried.

Have you noticed Republicans are quick to produce election results, while Democrats take days to count ballots? I wonder what Republicans are trying to hide.
Furious! I ran out of agave for homemade avocado pie so I placed an emergency order. The DoOrganic delivery person told me “have a Merry Christmas” without even asking if I celebrate. I do, but the assumption is incredibly insensitive and racist. Calling the manager.
