Letter to Ebony Magazine, September 1973.
comoelfilodelmachete:
I am a sister who has been happily subscribing to Ebony for quite some time. I believe that it is a very good magazine as well as a very necessary medium among black people. However, I heartily agree with Miss Esther Thomas and Miss Nidette Vargas (Letters to the Editor, June 1973) that magazines such as Ebony have a duty to serve all black Americans. There are black...

re: my doctor question from earlier
She doesn’t want me to be vegan because I have a chronic stomach condition that we haven’t figured out yet. Normally I guarantee she would be supportive but right now we are trying to figure out how to deal with my constant nausea and stomach pain and she wants me on a different diet. She is actually the best doctor I’ve ever had, would never make me eat meat, but she wants me to...

my doctor doesn't want me to be vegan anymore and...
if i really do have to go back to vegetarianism, it wouldn’t be the end of the world, but this is the longest i’ve ever managed to stay vegan… i’m not sure if i should give that up. i hella miss a bunch of non-vegan foods, though, and i have local dairy products right down the street. i don’t know. is it worth it to stay vegan against the advice of a doctor?

José Julio Sarria, Nightingale of Montgomery... →
The oppression was thick. Police entrapment was the rule of the day. Against this wall of oppression was The Black Cat and the well known and well loved José. You would go into the bar, get a drink, start to enjoy yourself and relax. José would create impromptu arias that would contain customized lyrics that would warn people of police entrapment schemes if he learned of them. He gave the city’s...

meditations in an emergency (frank o'hara)
Am I to become profligate as if I were a blonde? Or religious as if I were French?
Each time my heart is broken it makes me feel more adventurous (and how the same names keep recurring on that interminable list!), but one of these days there’ll be nothing left with which to venture forth.
Why should I share you? Why don’t you get rid of someone else for a...

mehreenkasana:
Such a turn has been long expected, but no one was certain when the moment would arrive — signaling a milestone for a nation whose government was founded by white Europeans and has wrestled mightily with issues of race, from the days of slavery, through a civil war, bitter civil rights battles and, most recently, highly charged debates over efforts to restrict immigration.

The Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Hate Dan Savage
forgetpolitics:
1. Dan Savage hates trans people and uses transphobic slurs.
“Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives. Perhaps I’m a transphobic bigot, but I honestly think waiting a measly 36 months to cut your dick is a sacrifice any father should be willing to make for his 15-year-old son. Call me old-fashioned.
Unfortunately, your ex wasn’t...
