Being an atheist does not erase privilege. This includes white privilege.
This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.

Dear Baby
Go to sleep, you are tired. Sleep. Stop smiling and looking all super cute. I know it’ll be a couple of minutes until you do your hawk screech and the smiles are just to prepare me. You know how I know? You’ve done it ten times. Sleep.
Love,
Mama.

Stupid sports bras and working out stuff
If you’re busty, it’s already a HUGE pain in the ass to find a sports bra that not only fits, but actually supports. Apparently, those of us with large breasts don’t work out, ya know. I am annoyed to find out that I can’t even smash my breasts into my current sports bra! Then again, they did explode in size with pregnancy and now nursing so argh.
I found an old one that...

My entire school career literally from 5 years old to college was one long exercise in how The System is shit to marginalized people, even “respectable” black folk who are gifted.
Which is why I have an inherent distrust of people who are overly concerned with academia and its associated pissing contests. It is not anti-intellectualism at all.

baddominicana:
so white “activists” are really so fucking far gone in their white-logic that they equate poc speaking on their oppression on personal blogs as “social justice” that must be regulated and homogenized for their consumption.
in the end they always make themselves the consumer.

latinosexuality:
from my media justice article this week.
There are so many stereotypes that people have about Latin@s, our sexual experiences, practices, and decisions. As a member of this community and someone from the Caribbean I have a few ideas on how these stereotypes have emerged and how they have been linked to reproductive health and justice. It is clear from reports by...

You are (by default) creative.
Creative thinking takes work.
You must go through the motions of being creative.
Your brain is not a computer.
There is no one right answer.
Never stop with your first good idea.
Expect the experts to be negative.
Trust your instincts.
There is no such thing as failure.
You do not see things as they are; you see them as you are.
Always...
