So, I got a streak of my hair behind my ear bleached and dyed purple. Not for any real reason, I just wanted one. Today was the first day in school with my purple streak.
And holy fucking shit so many fucking people just randomly grabbed my hair and started feeling it. Like, I was walking down the hallway, and this bitch grabs my hair and starts freaking out that it’s purple. And then...

and it’s my personal opinion that “judging somebody by their skin color (or sexuality, gender, etc)” is…shitty, but whatever. WHO CARES. if you look at me and see a breeding animal or a invading cockroach? I don’t really all that much give a shit.

So I want you to imagine something. It’s going to be pretty awful, and it’s probably going to be a trigger for some people. If that’s a risk you don’t feel up for, take care of yourself and stop now.

I am fucking tired of this shit.
We’re reading Fences by August Wilson in English. If you haven’t read it, it’s a play about black people and racism in the 1950s, and it’s set in Pittsburgh. The lead is a black man named Troy, who my white English teacher describes as “crude”. She warned the class that Troy uses the N-word a lot, and said that if you don’t feel comfortable saying...
