i love lipstick. i want to write an essay about the politics of lipstick. i like lipstick that’s deep, deep red. i like lipstick that’s purple, lipstick that’s black and dark for when i want to dress up my melancholy. i like sharing lipstick with sisters. and i laugh at boys that think i wear lipstick for them to notice, i laugh, lipstick is an art you can’t ever understand. from picking out a color, testing it on the inside of my wrist, pursing my lips during the application of it. i like when i kiss a baby and leave lipstick on their cheek, when you hug someone and leave lipstick on their shirt, when it gets on your teeth and you use your tongue to get it off, when you sleep in lipstick and wake up with it on your pillow case. in 1997 mama left for ethiopia to see her mama for the first time in 12 years. i was six and i cried the entire way home from the airport. and when we came home there on the kitchen table was the teacup mama had been drinking out of. at the bottom a sip of tea and black cardamom seeds. and there on the rim of the cup the lipstick imprint of my mama’s kiss.

MY OPINION ON THINGS CHANGE FREQUENTLY AS I LEARN MORE STUFF ABOUT THE THING PLEASE DO NOT HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOMETHING I SAID THREE YEARS AGO
So relevant.
So fucking relevant.

VERY fucking relevant!
waaaaaaait a minute.
I guess people never read the tiny print on these things because this whole image is apparently set up to justify anti-Muslim discrimination:
“Islamophobia is not racism, any more than ‘Communistaphobia’ or ‘Facistophobia’ would be, because Islam is an idea, not a race”
Guys, no. No guys. No.
So Ok: People have rights. Ideas don’t have rights. But what about people who live by those ideas? Do they not have rights? Are there no ideas in the image on the left? Isn’t there a LGBT triangle, just an invisible one? Isn’t the wheelchair symbol an idea, that people with disabilities should have access to things? You just put all the ideas you like on the left and all the ones you don’t on the right. This is rhetorical trickery and nonsense to justify why certain people shouldn’t have rights.
Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

When women scream you wonder what’s wrong with them. When men yell you get afraid about what they’re going to do.
