Being part of a Bitch Media Access Issue that Alice Wong co-edited with @freeblackgirl.bsky.social was really special, even more so now. My piece was republished in the @theflytrapmedia.com today (with some updates to make the piece more current). the-flytrap.ghost.io/complex-futu...

I care mostly about envisioning new realities for Black, Indigenous, incarcerated, and LGBTQ+ (specifically trans) journalists. I just do not care what yt folks are doing in journalism because it usually involves them doing fucked up stuff to maintain the status quo.

One thing about me: I rarely, if ever, know what white people are doing in media. I just know it is usually fucked up … and that’s enough for me. 🤷🏾♀️

Okay, so, we’re all going to have to agree that it’s wrong to have sex with children. Like, if you don’t agree with me inside your own head, you should keep that inside until you tell a therapist. Also, people who defend pedophiles can not be trusted with your children. At all. AT ALL. EVERRRRRRRRR.
