THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

why is it that almost every interesting thing i learn about happens to have been created by a Black person only to be co-opted by white people who virtually erased the origin 😐

i had a whole rant ready, but this essay covers the topic much more in-depth (& much nicer) than i would have fuck alchemised, fuck rose in chains, and fuck irresistible urge. anyone who supports those books don't give a damn about trans ppl and it shows. reading isn't political my ass...
