Here he put someone down for being poor and insinuated it was some form of punishment since the OP doesn’t like that Buck is transmisogynistic or classist.
Here he posted a video of queer people of color as a token of his anti-racism?

LET IT BE SO
I had to switch therapists, which I’d anticipated - Former Therapist and I discussed it in advance - but it’s still kind of destabilizing. New Therapist, who I’ve only seen once, is okay, but this scowly part of me is like no no no do not want bring back the other one no no no.
Trying to fight that voice down, because I have an appointment today, but it feels strange because I...

– Solomon, A. Trans/Migrant: Christina Madrazo’s All-American Story (via queerhappy)
I bolded the last sentence because “mythic American beneficence” ought to be a hip-hop quotable. Very, very, very fucking true.

Every once in a while I’ll be dragging things out of my closet in an attempt to make a look, and I’ll wonder to myself whether certain things match… and then I’ll look at myself in the mirror and be like, “Oh, silly rabbit - don’t you know that lovely shade of brown matches everything?”
And then I smile really big.

On writing.
I wrote (a little) fiction once, but not very often these days (unless it’s a quick story for submission someplace and I’m tryna make a little coin, but that’s not a regular gig kind of thing). I write non-fiction-y academic stuff on the regular, because it’s required. I wrote poems once, but I distrust myself with them.
Sometimes it scares me breathless to write. Often I...
