My Friend Yvonne

Picked her up from the hospital today. I'm sure that cop who smacked her in the head with the baton for asking why our friends Andre, Joseph, and Daniel were getting arrested would be happy to know there's no permanent damage or a skull fracture. I had to pick up my friends from jail the morning after they were arrested. Really wish our white policemen hadn't called Andre an animal for not...

I Have White Privilege

And I am trying to use it correctly. I'm going to protests. I'm not speaking over PoC but I am signal boosting everything I can. I'm not playing the #notallwhites game on Twitter. I'm openly going after people in my life who are racist and telling them point blank I can't keep associating with them because their attitudes will make our country worse. I'm listening, not speaking over right up until...

Misgender

So, funny story. I was on a forum and someone called me Miss. For me, a cis dudebro with occasional moments of "I dunno what gender I am, I feel like a shadow," this was humorous for me and I bear the user no ill will at all. Seriously, it's funny! Most users on Mibba are female, I was just assumed to be one. Harmless mistake, no foul. Never happened before, gave me a chuckle. But it does open the...

Cisphobia, Heterophobia

To compare these things to transphobia and homophobia is wrong. It is a rampant display of how privilege works and how people are choosing to discredit actual oppression and violence. Cishet people get the majority of representation. Cishet people have more rights. They can marry all over our country. They have worked to deny our basic rights as humans for years. Heteronormativiy is an institution...

A is for Asexual

Yesterday was National Coming Out Day, and as per usual, straight people seem to think it's okay to appropriate this piece of LGBTQIAP+ culture and come out as straight or as an ally. If you are an ally, you will stop this. If you are an ally, you will accept that the A is for asexual, not ally, and that there is not and will not be a letter for you because you are a supporter, not part of the...

An Update on Shay

Most of you might not remember one of my best friends in real life and on this website. Her name was Shay. Here and on every writing website she currently works on, she was ptvjaime. Sound a little familiar? It probably should. She was on here for over three years, wrote a lot of band fiction, made her opinions pretty well-known, then left when things got bad and hasn't come back.And she's not...

You Know Why FanFiction Is Awesome?

Because fanfiction has slash. Now, before you OF people get all high and mighty, I'm gay. A gay male. We aren't portrayed often or correctly by most movies, books, and TV shows. There aren't many gay men in the music scene I'm in. So reading it online makes me feel like I belong which is fucking awesome because otherwise I feel like I don't. It's not really there in the book world either. Unless...

Mibba, What's Going On?!

I rarely used this site since. Come on. It's a bit soap operay. But seriously. What the fuck is with all these blogs bashing people?! I thought Mibba had rules against this! But apparently not. That's really sad. Why are these people allowed to call some of you names for how or what you write?! Are they special? Mibba's turning into my old LJ community, huh? That's stupid. You shouldn't get called...
