A Black gay man was killed over an “altercation” because a straight man wanted him to stop voguing. He was killed. Over him voguing. Black queer joy is under attack, not masculinity. Be clear. Rest in Peace, O’Shae Sibley. 🖤🙏🏾

Let me break this down for you, and y'all can go break this down for others. "Rest in power" is not the woke version of "Rest in peace." It's not just cool, it's not a way to show you really liked someone, it's not something you say when a famous person you really liked dies.

wild, how abstract politics are to a lot of cis het white ppl. and how okay they are with being friends with ppl who want to destroy millions of lives. i also suspect that they think it's perfectly normal to be friends with ppl with whom you never talk about anything important

If you don’t know a handful of women who’ve had an abortion, you’re not morally righteous or statistically anomalous; you’re just not the kind of person women trust with their secrets.
