I know I said I'd completed my blog makeover weeks ago but what had happened was...I lied.
As you can see, things are a little different around here. I think the changes are for the better but I'll let you guys be the judge of that. Let me know if my tinkering made things better or worse.
I also owe you guys an apology for completely flaking on my blogging schedule. Long story short, I'm on a new medication for anxiety and it made me really, ridiculously sleepy and unmotivated for the first few weeks. I'm adjusting and feeling a lot better the past couple of weeks so hopefully that continues.
With all that out of the way, let's dive into this blog post.
If you go on my Twitter one of the first things you see is my pinned Tweet:
I'm not saying queer, Black, and female is the sum total of all I am. What I am saying is my sexuality, race, and gender are intersecting social identities that have a substantial impact on both how I view the world and how the world views me. I'm all of those things (and more!) so if you're my friend or ally, you have to acknowledge, accept, and respect all of me, not just the parts of my identity that serve your agenda or support your narrative.
