racism isn't "edgy" humor or a differing "opinion." it's harm. it's abuse. it's violence. it's dehumanization. it's a system of power. it's cruelty.

anyways remember that your little “learning experiences” are black ppls traumas. racism is a traumatizing experience and no one has to forgive you for it ever.

everyone saying "well if you werent racist you mustve been homophobic or transphobic or ableist or—" is such an insane self report
“y’all didn’t have a racist past when u were teenagers?” no?????????????

i don’t believe anyone when they say racist/otherwise cruel teenagers were just naive. they absolutely knew better. knowing better and doing it anyway was the appeal. they liked being edgy and thought it was funny. don’t pretend the wrongness of the thing wasn’t the entire “joke”

y'all are always so quick to defend and victimize former racists because they were teenagers who "just had an edgy phase", but never care about the countless black & brown teenagers who were on the recieving end of that "edgy phase"

It’s so crazy people are turning this slayyyter shit into “we were all bigoted when we were teenagers” when that’s not true? The kids you were torturing every day bc they were a minority definitely weren’t

Proofreading a smutty poem that's in my new book (forthcoming this spring) and I'm blushing again, even though it's been years since I wrote it.

There are many cheesy poems (some I adore), but are there many poems *about* cheese?
