My name is Alex & I'm a college student currently located in Austin, TX. I'm interested in books, horror films, indie comics, gaming, cute animals & smashing the capitalist patriarchy.
I am a light-skinned WOC, able-bodied, cis.
The only feminism that matters is intersectional.
Some Ground Rules:
- This blog is racist, ableist, sexist, fatphobic, queerphobic, and transphobic free and I will tolerate no one who brings these things into my space
- I don't mind answering questions or asks about social justice topics but please remember that I am not here specifically to educate you or anybody else
- I will gladly tag all of my posts if anybody feels triggered or uncomfortable by what I blog but again please remember that this is my blog and I will always put my own safety and mental health first
- This is my space and if you respect me then I will respect you. Simple as that.
Is that I encounter way too many African-Americans who feel like they own blackness. American blackness is the center and everyone else exists on the outskirts.
Ugh.
This shit is starting to piss me off.

My god there is just so much US-centrism in people’s responses to this and it is really hurtful as an African born and raised in the US.
