Struggling To Be Heard

Sociology student, mother of 5 cats, music lover, food enthusiast, mixed Black girl, natural hair lover, genderfluid, queer, anti-capitalist and prison abolitionist. Ask if you want to know more.

Here is some info about my pronouns.

I'm here to rant, rave, repost pictures and info, dissect little and big things, bitch, moan, laugh, cry. Stuff. I love getting questions. You'll find things on black history, race in America, dissecting white supremacy, the prison industrial complex, some American politics stuff, gender and feminist issues. Pictures of all kinds of beautiful people, food, cats, and you will definitely get randomly bombarded with anime shots. I also post personal posts about my life, my emotions, and relationships, which can include lots of emotions so forewarning.

Some of our viewers may have been offended by some of the language in our recent episode. We take this matter especially to heart, considering…

Did I say you DIDN’T have the right to quit the show? No. And like I said, I was following you but since you don’t like it, I won’t. You might be critical of Native and Muslim things and that’s good, stick to your standards. If you think I was picking on you, my bad. I wasn’t. I just saw your comment and thought, this is your reaction, the first one I’ve seen that just said f it all together and I’m saying I’m not taking it that far. And figured others would comment from there. You aren’t on my radar that hard to just be poking fun of or raising as an example, trust me.
