The bday selfie of a person w a shitty phone camera who has a cold & just finished a midterm wassup

Remaking my tumblr bc I’m a dumbass & forgot my password during a very trying time these past months. New tumblr handle is labrujachula if ya wanna follow. Tryna be back on here for the premier of LEMONADE and I miss y'all. My old tumblr is still linked to my Instagram, hence why I’m using it to post 😂😭

Prince is one of the few musical constants from my childhood. It’s unfathomable, and when i heard it besides refusing it to be true i felt empty, speechless. But for me Prince’s music was always about living life as true and to its fullest. I was never sad when I listened to Prince -quiet, introspective at times but never sad. To listen to his music was always - always - about celebration, bearing through life by living it loud and unapologetically. I don’t think there’s a better way to honor such a legend. Thank you for everything 🌹

spoilers tho: the american obsession with bullet diameter and ballistic power is racism. the .45 acp was selected based on the fear that filipinos could some how magically withstand 9mm after the spanish-american was. 

you hear the cops in the us today talking about black people as if they don’t even feel pain, they just shrug off the bullets they say.

if you think i’m joking european countries actually marketed and issued guns in calibres as small as .25 acp if they were intended for use in europe itself. civilised white man calibre for self defence against other civilised white men.

colonial forces were still equipped with shit like webleys in .455.

“the boy cries you a sweater of tears and you kill him” sounds like a richard siken poem but so does squidward’s subsequent line “this time there’s gonna be love. so much that he’s going to drown in it”

#just the three of us- you; me; and this brick wall you built between us#the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma#if i cant have you as a friend im going to make you a trophy#i defy you heart man#this city needs to be destroyed or at least painted a different color (x)

What a privilege, to be able to learn for fun the languages that our parents and grandparents were beaten for speaking.

I know families who had to bury their libraries in their backyard. I know people who have gotten through impossible moments because of a book. I know the power of words. I am an accident of literacy, and in a way, we all are. When Nikky Finney accepted the National Book Award, she immediately cited that. For a lot of us, it goes back generations. If you come from a place where literacy is a luxury and not everyone gets to go to school, and not everyone gets to read, it makes it an even more powerful notion. I’ve seen the power of words in action. I saw Nikky Finney’s ancestors in that glorious moment delivering that speech. I saw them smuggling words against death and censorship.

For aspiring writers, seek your truth and tell it. We live in a moment where it’s so easy to see what everyone else is doing and to compare yourself to that. Seek your truth and tell it. Just seek your truth. It is a harder thing to sit in the stillness. You’re the best person to tell your own story. Trust that.
