:: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the georgia peach, @raquel_willis ❤️🍰🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂

:: “I often wonder why I feel as if I am drowning every time I look out into the sea This and feeling incredibly small I often hear this joke About Black people not being able to swim Or being scared of water We are mocked And we have often mocked ourselves For wiping our faces the way that we do when we come out of the water Compare it to how they do it all Bay Watch like And how we so ratchet like with our postures and kink Every time our skin goes under The reeds remember that they were once chains And the water, restless, wishes it could spew all of the slaves and ships onto shore Whole as they had boarded, sailed and sunk Their tears are what have turned the ocean salty This is why our irises burn every time we go under Every December sixteenth, December 24th and December 31st Our skin traumatises the sea They mock us For not being able to throw ourselves into something that was instrumental in trying to execute our extinction For you, the ocean is for surf boards, boats and tans And all the cool stuff you do under there in your suits and goggles But we, we come to be baptised here We have come to stir the other world here We have come to cleanse ourselves here We have come to connect our living to the dead here Our respect for water is what you have termed fear The audacity to trade and murder us over water Then mock us for being scared of it The audacity to arrive by water and invade us If the land was really yours then resurrect the bones of the colonisers and use them as a compass” - “WATER” by Koleka Putuma, Collective Amnesia

:: “cisgender people have had a rich daily diet in the pain and marginalization of black trans women” -valerie spencer (@valeriespncr1 ) | 📷: @realtalk2010

:: “fit in here, in my palm, in my shadow, don’t be bigger than my idea of you, don’t be more beautiful than i can accept, don’t be more human than i am willing to allow you to be and be quiet, you’re too loud, even your un-belonging is loud. quiet your dreams, your voice, your hair, quiet your skin, quiet your displacement, quiet your longing, your colour, quiet your walk, your eyes. who said you could look at me like that? who said you could exist without permission? why are you even here? why aren’t you shrinking? i think of you often. you vibrate. you walk into a room and the temperature changes. i lean in and almost recognise you as human. but, no. we can’t have that.” - Warsan Shire | 📷: @realtalk2010

“Did I ever really love him or was I addicted to the pain, the exquisite pain, of wanting someone so unattainable?” - Carrie Bradshaw | 📷: @realtalk2010

:: “As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, woulda, shoulda, buckle up and just keep going." - Carrie Bradshaw | 📷: @realtalk2010

:: “My activism bootcamp really started when I started working as the Program Director at @st.jamesinfirmary . I was 25 years old and one of few Black Trans women in a leadership position.” Sa’id reveals. “This is the time I started being vocal about being a sex worker. St. James Infirmary radicalized my work and transformed my life.” -@ariasaid for @thefightmag May 2019 Cover. ✏️: kelly dezart smith 📓: Editor N Chief: @brenshu 📷: @dusticunningham Read full interview- link in bio
