An important thing white women have to understand, accept, and work against:

yes, we are marginalized by white men but when it comes to non-white people? We are not marginalized. We are not powerless. We are not just innocent unwilling victims of supremacy. We are active agents
The way we enact racialized violence is by playing up our status as "pure" in the eyes of white men. We utilize the idea that we are resources to the perpetuation of whiteness. It's why our tears are such brutal weapons when turned against BIPOC
It's also why we have to be careful when we talk about transforming LEGAL responses to sexual assault because while fake reports are rare, they can be and have been levied against black men by white women. See Emmett Till

SELECTIONS FROM "THE CAT'S BOOK OF SAINTS": A THREAD
The Half-Burnt Saint
Aug. 21
Walked away from a fire without harm but forever carried the scent of burnt fur and wore a wreathe of acrid smoke. Protects city cats from fires. Those pledged to him leave offerings of embers, ash, and salted cod
The River Queen
Nov. 4
Was drowned eight times and rose from the currents nine. She comes crowned with long dripping weeds and her eyes are river-green. Protects kittens drowned by humans. Those pledged to her leave offerings of stones worn smooth by rushing water

Hey so I wanna talk for a bit about older men and younger girls. By younger I mean 18-21 year-old girls and by older I mean men who are 10 or so years older than these girls
I was one of those girls. From 18-21 I was the "older man magnet," the girl who was always dating men significantly older than me. And I was exactly the kind of girl you'd imagine: smart, no self-confidence, desperate for approval/validation
I was a girl who'd been told all my life I was ugly until suddenly I wasn't ugly anymore. I had no idea how to interact with ppl my own age and also my deep abiding fear of my own queerness didn't help either

Ok the issue re: Bannon and whether or not he should be given space in which to propose his ideas of genocide and white supremacy are valid. I think too many people are forgetting that one of the core foundations of the Bannon/Trump age is built on "internet trolling"
Meaning the methodology of Trump and Bannon is geared toward the idea that winning is about how many people you """trigger"""/anger/upset/offend
Trump doesn't care about lying because he knows it doesn't matter. His followers will laugh triumphantly about how he's owning the libs even if this owning is based on a house of cards that is also on fire and probably full of bees

A LADIES' GUIDE TO SURVIVING GOTHIC FICTION
1. If your family falls on hard times, I know it's incredibly tempting to marry the mysterious nobleman who asks for your hand. But first ask the name of his dark brooding manor house. If it's anything like Darkwood or Devil's Grove or Hell's Gate politely refuse the offer
2. Ask your mother if you have any secret half-siblings. It may be hard for her to admit her scandalous trysts and the bastards produced but believe me, nothing is more detrimental to survival than having a secret brother. Especially since he will probably fall in love with you
