    I'm proud to be able to read 's We Have Always Been Here in the classrooms of the school where I teach, and used to attend; it means everything that a 17-year-old student can study a book that I never dreamed would have existed when I was 17.

    Reading “We Have Always Been Here” by and just crying. Another queer Muslim runaway? That damaged link to your family and histories you don’t want to mention? Running from family into relationships out of necessity rather than love? I feel so seen wtf

    Prisons can only be built & sustained by accessing a deep seated hatred. To want ppl in prison for such a long time that you feel comforted by that person’s pain is sadistic. I don’t get pleasure from watching ppl suffer. None of us should.

    We're in incredibly early stages of our equity journey. We haven't even started dating yet. We're still trying to figure out whether or not the dating app is compatible with our phones from 1999. It is not.
