i said when you remove race and gender because it is shared, you have to look at power.

a capitalist, celebrity, etc has more power than you (well, most of us), and i questioned what is their responsibility to us?

because we always talking about our responsibility to them (give grace)

the working class will really die defending the capitalist class.
i be getting jumped on IG often LOL.

you’re mistaking a power struggle for a simple gap. macro power infects every micro momentβ€”at work, home, or the gas station. expecting the marginalized to do the labor of "bridging" for those in power is why we're stuck. responsibility must be proportional to power, not split 50/50.

define the problem and assign responsibility first.

those with power must lead; women shouldn't have to bridge a gap they didn't create.

structural issues dictate intrapersonal ones, so fixing the system is the only practical solution, imo

bridge-building is futile when power is skewed.

and truthfully, i am barely cute in the Black community.
dark-skinned women have to perform very high femininity & be thin.
see: Olandria.

or lean into the aggressive, masculine tropes as lesbians.
see: no one.

because most the famous lesbians are lighter than me πŸ™ƒ
