Speaking of my work
Yesterday morning I came in and was about to fucking cry because of the mess that the previous dishwasher left. I started to clean when I noticed someone had brought in a old-school stereo/tape player with some tapes. One of the tapes said “Joe’s Mix” so I figured it was the new diswasher. He brought in Smashing Pumpkins, Sade, Madonna, Depeche Mode, and Sepultura tapes. So...

curiousgali asked: Isn't it frightening to think about reworking an entire extremely flawed society? But I get what you're saying about working with people's unique traits in a way that isn't oppressive. Kind of reminds me of Audre Lorde's "The Master's Tools will Never Dismantle the Master's House" where in section she emphasizes the strength in and importance of...

curiousgali asked: I was looking at your tumblr description and noticed you were anarchist. What are your ideas on reconstructing society? I assume you're against hierarchical social constructs but, as you've said before, since we don't live in a vacuum and have been and are affected by our environment, how do you think it would be possible to get rid of hierarchical inclinations? Perhaps it would a...

Anonymous asked: I have a question and want to know your opinion on it. How does one deal with being around a group of black men who are intensely sexist and disrespectful/ignorant toward other POC cultures? I am a POC and often feel very uncomfortable around a group of guys like this that I have to work with. Should I tell them that they are being disrespectful or are their actions justified because of how...

Anonymous asked: Devil's advocate question here: let's say someone is a fan of strong melodic lines. Couldn't that person be justified in preferring more melody-based music to that of rhythmic spoken words? That is, nothing to do with the content of the words being spoken (or sung), just the method of delivery? Perhaps, in reality, any person who would make this claim is using is as a cover for...

Anonymous asked: I have a random question, if you don't mind. I'm a liberal POC and have a lot of same views about society as you. But my issue is, I have an interview with a big wall street investment bank tomorrow but I'm completely against all the bullshit they stand for. Am I betraying my own values and everything we stand for by interviewing with these bigoted, capitalist, assholes?

I wish that conversation KR and I had about the violent misogyny in punk rock had happened here instead of the Kpop blog. I mean, if you don’t know, you need to know, that shit is baaaaaad.

For the record
I do not like nor will I ever support Tyler The Creator. I don’t care for Nicki Minaj much, either. But, as a queer Afro-Latina, I won’t sit there and watch white people sit there and SHIT on blackness and claim it’s in the name of queerness and feminism. I’ll become Tyler the Creator and Nicki’s most vociferous defender if I have to to prove that point. Most...

Anonymous asked: Um, I don't like most rap music and one of my big issues with it IS that the lyrics are often misogynistic and/or homophobic. It's not my only issue with it, and it's not true of ALL rap music, but it does make me very uncomfortable when it's there. How is it racist for me to not want to listen to music that I feel is marginalizing me?
