I am a rape survivor. I am the audience to your coldness, your assaults on our bodies, minds and hearts. I am an abuse survivor. I am the audience to your treachery, your invasions of our safe spaces, our wellbeing and homes. I am ‘female’, The target behind your snipes and your condemnation, the hearts [...]
i feel like i’m floating. laying on my back, staring at the sky as i drift upon this river of…. ??? i’m not sure. i can’t see it. i feel its waves splashing against my skin every so often, ice cold one moment and boiling the next. and each boiling wave leaves patches of scars, [...]
trigger warning for the inclusion of racial/ethnic slurs in a deconstructionalist manner, and short discussion and links of hate crimes. EXTERNAL LINKS ARE NOT SAFE SPACES, DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS i used to consider myself a part of the pagan community. i admit, i was originally one of those obnoxious teens that read generic [...]
yesterday, my car told me her name. after an evening storm, the roads were coated with fog. when driving on the unlighted side roads that twisted and turned every few yards, the only thing one could see was about a foot of pavement underneath a dense blanket. nights like these are rare, but when they [...]

A while back I was introduced to the web comic Looking For Group (LFG), published by Blind Ferret (the name of which is highly problematic, and is quite telling of later attitudes). While it has a concrete and unique story line, the comic is heavily based on WoW – the classes, the races, the environment, [...]

Note: This post includes an ethnic slur commonly used against people of European nomadic cultures, as well as discussion of hate crimes and social perspective of Romani people. While spoken of from a deconstructionalist point of view, it may still be triggering. Please keep this in mind before continuing. And yeah, I know I said [...]
It’s that season again. The season of oppression and insensitivity, where we can “try on” cultures and minorities because it’s “in the spirit” and hey, everyone’s doing it so it’s okay. It’s only for a day. You don’t mean any offense by it. Gosh, why are you so sensitive? Get a sense of humor, it’s [...]
Yesterday, while I was at work, I saw a “straight-seeming” couple walk in holding hands. Both of them were wearing purple. This got me thinking. It got me thinking about the invisibility of the queer community. Both in our society and within the community itself. Here is this couple that so many people wouldn’t even [...]
