Self Evident Truths

Ummm…I am so VERY into this right now!

But Black people in period or fantasy settings totally makes the stories unreal.

Also holy shit I love these.

How come I don’t run across this stuff regularly?

Because of racism and the retroactive erasure of POC in Medieval Europe. Pretty much the same reason you almost never see these works of art either unless you’re already looking for them:

The fact that Goo Gone’s only scent is CITRUS POWER strikes me as an almost personal attack.

poemfragment I found while cleaning up my desktop

I’m at the top of the stairs, I am typing with one hand,
and I stop when coming past me is someone
whose hair silhouette I remember from the party
last night. Who asked, like everyone here does,
What are you doing? (Means, what is your work?)
                                                       I tried
to ask a freshman this. Being drunk, or not yet knowing
the question, he only answered Standing.
