Confettisystem - Gold Wall for Creatures of the Wind (2010)

I feel weird about you using a quote by Gabourey Sidibe because she, as a fat woman of color, has a whole different struggle. I get that you struggle with your own demons, and don't want to invalidate that. I admire and respect you. But I'm tired of seeing white queers who set/fit in the standard for androgyny and queer beauty appropriating POC and WOC quotes about self love. POC can't have anything without white people saying "me, too."

yeah i completely understand that, totally valid, and i’m sorry if i’ve offended anyone

i always wonder if i’m allowed to reblog images of poc because it would in some way be an act of appropriation? in this case i identified a lot with the quote - the idea of feeling confident is something i struggle with immensely, and obviously i acknowledge and totally understand that there is a huge gap between my issues as a person with body issues and the issues facing a fat woc - so i wanted to have that on my blog, but i understand your point that i should not have reblogged it or commented on it as my experience is not comparable and thus should not be a part of that dialogue

i’ll delete the post and my commentary so i’m not contributing to that in any way

Have you ever heard of Ivan Coyote? You do the same thing to my heart that he does.

How do you feel about trans men in Bryn Mawr? Do you know if Bryn Mawr accepts trans women, pre or post op?

Tue, 21 May 2013 01:13:00 -0400

bryn mawr does not currently accept transwomen so long as they are still “legally” recognized as men which is a lot of bullshit that i have strong feelings about because i genuinely believe all women belong at women’s colleges, and i’m sad my alma mater does not accept transwomen yet. but! i know it’s a current policy issue that the students and alums are super in favor of changing, so i hope good comes of it soon

i don’t really have an opinion on transmen at bryn mawr. the only thing that concerns me about our admissions policy is that a genderqueer person, aka me, had more rights to be there than someone who actually identifies as a woman! which is some grade a bullshit. i think that bryn mawr is home to a lot of different people and if a transman comes out or transitions while at bryn mawr, it will always be his home and should always be his home whether he chooses to stay there or not. i’m not entirely sure why someone who identifies as a man would apply to a women’s college but i think there are lots of reasons to want to be a part of a space and it’s not up to me to judge

You cannot fathom how incredibly much I want to roll around on the floor and read and talk and generally be in your company. I love reading your writings, they are so beautiful and show such insight. You really know you and you see other people. On my bucket list would be to hear you read your writings....

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:28:51 -0400

oh but my floor is covered in kit-kat wrappers right now because i’m nervously eating candy so it wouldn’t be comfortable to roll around on the floor

explain to me why you are so adorable with blood all over your face. i want reasons
