Think of a car that is passed down through generations. Due to necessity, oppression, poverty, etc - let's say that the car was neglected by our grandparents. They had to keep going without any gas. They then pass down this car to their daughter...

Thank you 🤎💙 to my body for housing me and doing the best se can. Thank you to my body for showing me I'm ill even when I've convinced myself everything is okay. Thank you to my body for holding onto the truth - ancestral and my own.

We have less capacity than the generation before us, because we inherit the bodies our ancestors have already broken down beyond its capacity.

I thank my body for being ill.
I thank my body for showing me that there is something to heal.

Cause the problem,
Then sell us the band-aid -

It's not survivor's guilt. It's pain for those I wish were here with me.

Looking for people who:

1. Wear masks for covid still
2. Understand Tamil and/or ASL
3. Actually reply to texts more than once a month
4. Don't discard me at the first conflict and give me room to explain a misunderstanding

Feels like I'm searching for a needle in a haystack.

I have mostly given up on finding any sapphic ppl who wear masks in person. Long distance connections are there but I don't know if it makes it harder or easier sometimes...the longing tears me up at night. I need touch. I've been touch starved for years.

My food stamps were unexpectedly cut, while I'm in a severe flare up of my illness where I can't stand or cook. I don't have funz for food delivery. I'm hungry, disabled , and need community care.

As Dr. Ambedkar has taught us, any religion can be measured by how it influences people’s actions. Dr. Ambedkar showed us how “Hind00ism” influences people to practice c4ste ap4rth3id. He asks us, why should we value a “religion” that causes such deep oppression and harm...

I know there's *some* bisexual and pansexual queer wom3n and nonbinary ppl who date c!s het m3n as well as queer women & nonbinary ppl...but their ratio is often very skewed towards the c!shet men. Usually , they shrug it off with something like "well m*n are easy"...

Perhaps, one thing that impoverished people have on our side , to help us survive, is lived experience. People who’ve been unhoused before, people who’ve been displaced before for example - maybe we can better know what to do. Even then, I personally struggle with...(continued)

I've been reading a lot of "if you're *insert oppressed identity*, you CAN'T DO *XYZ* . Can we change the language to "if you're *insert oppressed identity* , you're PUNISHED FOR DOING *XYZ* ?

Hi everyone! If you are an autistic racialized person who managed to get a diagnosis - did it help you get access to any forms of support, government provided or otherwise? If so, would you share your experiences below ?

As a melanated person , I am hyper aware of the negative connotations of “dark” especially in spiritual healing spaces. “Dark energy” is often used to describe anything malicious, bad, or negative, while “Light energy” is used to describe anything positive, good,...(Continued)

Caste is such a deep wound...I am still learning layers of oppression in my ancestry that have been completed erased because some of my caste oppressed ancestors thought assimilation would save them...

Unfortunately, being disabled as a brown skinned or dark skinned person perceived as a woman puts you in predicament. As a brown skinned to dark skinned person perceived as a woman - you will be expected to do a lot of labor and to serve and adjust to everyone else. But ...

I'm starting to understand now. Much the v!0l3nce I have experienced as a brown skinned person perceived as a woman..., I wasn't able to avoid it due to my disability.

When ableism and colorism intersects: You get an opportunity. You ask for the slightest modification or change because something is inaccessible to you. But, when you do so - they withdraw the opportunity completely and blame you as being "difficult" and "ungrateful".

I want to use the Parable of the Sower as a start for building our guide to surviving CLYM4T3 C4T4$TROPHY with community care. But, there are also holes I see to it happening in practice, which come from my lived experience. As a disabled person, I would likely be left behind...(Continued)

My action does not come from r4dic4l "hope". I've been pushed down too many times. My action comes from surviving, and living DESPITE not having much hope.
