“not choosing is still choosing.”
I had a recollection earlier this week about what it means to be friends with someone who is passive. My best friend of fourteen years, Nikki, was someone who was friends with everyone. She was passive and thoughtful. She let herself get walked all over. Honestly it’s best for me to not remain friends with her. She remained friends with a college roommate of mine who spread bad information about me. I have a mental illness, okay? How do you not respect someone with a mental illness’s privacy? How do you not let someone like that stop talking about someone with a disability?
I am a survivor of a sexual assault and was in an abusive relationship with the same person for two years. My BFF knew about it. Why did she do nothing? Couldn’t she have possibly known about sexual assaults and what it means for someone to overcome trauma? I think you are ignorant and an enabler if you do not give someone with a strong personality boundaries. It is good to have boundaries with someone. I have a strong personality and am assertive. I don’t think she gave me the right space and she did not give me the kind of respect that I deserved.
So I wrote her a letter telling her that she did not respect my space and that she did not honor me, as a person who is BIPOC, who has a disability and who is a survivor of an assault, because she remained friends with someone who devalued my worth, spread information about me to other people--about stuff that I said when I was mentally ill and psychotic, and when she knew I was psychotic--and attributed it to me as a character flaw. How ridiculous and out-of-touch can you be? What kind of quality person would do such a thing to a disabled person? Actions are louder than words. Her actions speak for themselves. You cannot judge a mentally ill person for their actions if they are psychotic. But you can judge someone who intentionally and willingly destroys and shames an assault survivor and disabled person socially. Because that is just wrong. I am glad I left my BFF. What kind of person would remain friends with a negative person like that and still expect me to remain her best friend?
Passive. Not choosing is still choosing.

📣 Introducing Project Choice: An open-call charity zine for healthcare access & reproductive rights
On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion no longer exists. This ruling will also affect access to contraceptives, life-saving treatments, family planning services, and other protections—particularly for those living in poverty, who are BIPOC, and/or who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Project Choice is not only a response to this attack on human rights but it is also a way to show our support for healthcare access & reproductive services.

I Think I'm Dating a Fae, Chapter 3 Teaser
It’s been a few days since I've written here. We’ve been busy. The fae research is showing more and more traits of Sol’s than I realized. He’s a nudist at heart, has an insane talent for languages, and loves sex (I’ve never met a man who didn’t, though, so maybe that doesn’t count). But there’s another reason, too.
Spring Break is coming up. Yasmine’s so excited! A little too excited, actually. She’s never liked her school. Summers Elementary has this motto – “We Teach Kids to Love Learning!” but I’m starting to think it was false advertising.
Oh, who am I kidding? I always knew that was bullshit!

With Roe v. Wade likely to be overturned soon please be mindful with The Handmaids Tale imagery.
Please remember that The Handmaid’s Tale wasn’t just created out of thin air. It wasn’t a prediction. It isn’t a dystopian future that we are now living in.
Margaret Atwood said that she only included things that had really happened to women at some point in history.
What she did not say was that these things happened and continue to happen mainly to Black, Indigenous, and other women of color.
She used these true events that happened to mainly Black, Indigenous, and other women of color and then had the main protagonists that suffered these atrocities be white.
When we now invoke Handmaids Tale imagery instead of recognizing that these things have been actually happening to Black, Indigenous, and other women of color we are ignoring who truely suffered from events. We are centering fictional while women instead of real people.

It's ok that white autistic people aren't familiar with autistic people of color's experiences. That's not the problem.
The problem is how many white autistic people seem to think their experiences are universal, that they can speak for and over autistic people of color.
Being autistic doesn't take away white privilege. Being white and autistic still has privilege over autistic BIPOC, and even neurotypical BIPOC.
Neurodivergence doesn't exempt anyone from deconstructing and unpacking white supremacy.

Quote
Which historical figure do you most identify with? To every woman, especially to every BIPOC woman in science who has laid the groundwork, fought for their foot to be in this door, for us to join, for us to have a space and advocate for the policies that support us.

BIPOC
BIPOC is a term used in North America to group people who are referred to as Black, Indigenous American, or People of Colour, (i.e. people of all racial backgrounds, excluding people referred to as White).

Yet Another Thing Black women and BIPOC women in general have been warning you about since forever that you (general You; societal You; mostly WytFolk You) have ignored or dismissed, only for it to come back and bite you in the butt.
I'd hoped people would have learned their lesson with Trump and the Alt-Right (remember, Black women in particular warned y'all that attacks on us by brigading trolls was the test run for something bigger), but I guess not.
Any time you wanna get upset about how AI is ruining things for artists or writers or workers at this job or that, remember that BIPOC Women Warned You and then go listen extra hard to the BIPOC women in your orbit and tell other people to listen to BIPOC women and also give BIPOC women money.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
Give them money via PayPal or Ko-fi or Venmo or Patreon or whatever. Hire them. Suggest them for that creative project/gig you can't take on--or you could take it on but how about you toss the ball to someone who isn't always asked?
Oh, and stop asking BIPOC women to save us all. Because, as you see, we tried that already. We gave you the roadmap on how to do it yourselves. Now? We're tired.
Of the trolls, the alt-right, the colonizers, the tech bros, the billionaires, the other scum... and also you. You who claim to be progressive, claim to be an ally, spend your time talking about what sucks without doing one dang thing to boost the signal, make a change in your community (online or offline), or take even the shortest turn standing on the front lines and challenging all that human garbage that keeps collecting in the corners of every space with more than 10 inhabitants.
We Told You. Octavia Butler Told You. Audre Lorde Told You. Sydette Harry Told You. Mikki Kendall Told You. Timnit Gebru Told You.
When are you gonna listen?
