I'm in your timelines trying to bring some cuteness here because I too am scared, I too am freaking out with the rest of the rational-thinking, logical humans on this platform. But as someone who's already Black, TransFemme and
just simply cannot conform no way no how I'm already aware of multiple tragedies. I'm already in the thick of it and I'm not naive about any of these horrors.

And it's mentally and emotionally torturous each and every time and it's a struggle and that's what the fa wants.

Therefore ...

I can only do what makes me happy, because my very existence is Resistance. And that's all I
can do right now. Others who look like me died so that i must live. And I owe them all that. Every single one.

I must live.

I must smile. I must be Cute. Because It brings me joy. *And It pisses off the fa.* And if that's My Enough, if that's my battleground, so be it. It's not as noble as standing in front of a tank, or staring down an M16 with a daisy. But every smile in even the darkest of moments can push away the clouds for one day, and for many, many people who are in the same boat, that is enough. And I pray in my heart every day that I hope it serves.

You're not only cute, you're beautiful, inside and out.❤
@ayilathebailey love love love this post on this message! You are gorgeous! And I can feel your happiness and right in my heart. Thank you for spreading your love and joy.
@ayilathebailey agreed - beautiful inside and out. Beautiful message. And yes. So much this. Sometimes we have to survive out of love of those and gratitude to those who did not. Every day is a risk, every day is a battle. And I’m so glad you’re still here with us! Sending hugs if you like them!

@ayilathebailey This is a great message! Glad you’re at a place where you feel good being you, and encouraging others to do the same.

Just a quick question - what does “the fa” mean? I’ve mostly got it from context but would be interested in the original meaning. Urban Dictionary whiffed on this.

@RepresentativeSample
Thanks for asking! "Fa", rather than being a reference to the fourth note of the traditional solfeggio scale, in this instance, it's short for the word fascist. It is in reference to the phrase "antifa", because, as the saying goes," if you're not antifa, then what are you?"
@ayilathebailey ❤️ beautiful sentiments, beautiful activism and resistance. Thanks for sharing your cute self.
@emilyfern Thanks for the uplifting comment ❤️
