This woman I know is leaving town and getting rid of stuff so she brought me a bunch of books. The majority are by Alice Walker but also others by Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Jamaica Kincaid and more. Somehow, I was under the impression that I’ve read more #AliceWalker than I actually have—and what I have read was mostly two decades ago at this point. As I get older it feels very profound to revisit books, music, movies, etc. that were foundational to me as a young person forming my worldview and identity. #womanism #TheColorPurple #BlackWomen #writers #writing #books #Bookstadon

Why The Disposable Black Girlfriend Is A Problem

The moment I demand others accept as fact what I have chosen to believe by faith, I deny them the same liberty —the freedom to believe or not, which I would claim for myself.

Theocrats can't coerce authentic spiritual experience nor any potential benefits it may offer, but only cultural conformity and oppression rooted in physical, social, emotional violence.
