Slave gravesite in New York City
“SOMETHING YOUR TOUR GUIDE MIGHT NOT TELL YOU:
The heart of NYC’s Financial District is built on a huge 18th century African Burial Ground. Some 419 Africans were discovered in 1991, a large portion women and children.
The burial ground extends from Broadway Southward under City Hall, and almost to the site of the former World Trade Center. It is believed that there are as many as 20,000 slavery-era Africans in graves under the buildings in Lower Manhattan.
Abolish historical amnesia and ponder for a moment the fact that this financial epicenter of the world is built on slavery, oppression, and death.”
Literally, and daily.

Kissing can ruin lives. Lips touch sometimes teeth clash. New hunger is born with a throb and caution falls away. A cursed girl with lips still moist from her first kiss might feel
suddenly wild like a little monsoon. She might forget her curse just long enough to get careless and let it come true. She might kill everyone she loves.

- don’t trust men who have to insult other women in order to compliment you
- a subset of this rule is don’t trust men who say ‘you’re pretty/smart/[adjective] for an indian/asian/[identity group]’
- or ‘you’re not like other [identity group optional] girls’
luneprism replied to your post: I’m obese. I assumed you were not when I began to respond. Your genre tends to come from plus-sized gals forever teetering on the border of non-fat. I gather you’re TS? Another doozie when it comes to bullshit “fitting in,” eh? Can’t imagine how many deep breaths it must take to tell the mirror “I love you” but lose the chip on your shoulder. Your smarts are undermined by the vanity and bile. You fire off insults (“dehumanizing”) constantly. It’s not just the fats who bleed red.
have you even been talking about something relating to this
I got some stupid messages earlier (maybe yesterday) relaying to me something I’d posted about how I bitch about being fat yet I “lie around and do nothing” and the person was essentially just spewing shit out of their mouth. I honestly cannot decode what this person is saying though.
