August
The warm August sun envelops me
Filling my pores with shades of green and gold.
I breathe in the late summer,
Tasting the fleeting shades of orange and crimson hues.
Here and gone,
Never quite within reach,
Let me just enjoy this,
Before the leaves float and autumn falls.

.. but this whole “blacks are the people most against us” shit that the white queer community has been pulling is fucking old. Like ancient, dead, way past its shelf-life old. I was talking to a white gay man and he says it’s hard for him to trust black people because they…

There's a Ghost in this Room
I’m certain of it. I can feel it, like something in this room isn’t right. Whenever weird things happen, I’m usually in the room by myself, or if I’m not, strange things only happen on my side of the room. Every morning that I’ve woken up for the past three days, the stack of books on my desk, have been completely knocked over. They’re not in a weird,...

1 hour and 13 minutes
That’s how long I’ve been twenty and I’m already slightly drunk and high and I played a game of Nerf and watched Scary Movie. This is what I call necessary and wonderful stagnation :D

– Malcolm X
This is my feelings regarding the Help and every other Civil Rights related movie Hollywood has ever produced. The White Savior theme is disingenuous, in addition to being incredibly inaccurate.

That is the appropriate conclusion she came to while she was high and watching Strawdogs.
Also:
“See that’s the problem with dating these cute little nerdy white boys, when some real shit happens, you’re both fucked. I need to find me a black man.”
I’m done.

pagannews:
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that The Mary Sue readers have read at least one book twice. If not three, four, ten times. So it’s nice to know it’s not just for fun, it actually benefits your health!

spicyobsession:
So I only just heard about Hyun’s racist tweets today and decided to look her up because I had no idea who she was. Therefore, the first impression I had of Hyun is reading her twitter that calls for the genocide of black people. Great.
I’m not surprised at all that this happened. It’s no secret that East Asians (my family included) are among the POC groups that spout the most...

I used to drink the white kool-aid
thegoddamazon:
spicyobsession:
When I started writing fanfiction and eventually original fiction, I never wrote a POC as the main character. In fact, I never wrote in an Asian character at all. In fact, my literary imagination was littered with white people and their white problems, living in their white neighborhoods, going to their white schools—white white white everything. Do you know...

hashimwright:
88 pages, 60,000 words, 5 battle sequences, and 3 main characters later I’m halfway through the book. I think I might have one whole section where there isn’t a single battle sequence. Not a single fight. I figure the rules are entirely different for writing about superheroes and I’m allowed to have multiple battle sequences as opposed to one or two big ones. I mean when I...

Writing battle scenes with multiple characters is difficult, especially when it’s not just basic punching and kicking, when you throw superpowers, and various superpowers at that, into the mix it just gets infinitely more complicated.
A Regular Conversation Between Me and My Mother
Me: How are you doing?
Mom: I'm great, just chillin. I got a physical last week, and the doctor told me my ass is obese and needs to lose weight.
Me: *dying laughing* You're not obese, just stay healthy.
Mom: Yeah, she told me I needed to lose twenty pounds.
