Shoutout to the male rape victims that suffer in silence out of fear of embarrassment or feeling publicly emasculated. Your pain is valid. Your trauma is valid. Your trust issues are valid. Your emotions are valid. They do not emasculate you. You are still strong. You are always going to be strong. And your story matters.

The lack of notes says a lot.

I’m really tired of people acting like MLK was a literal savior that willingly chose to die. He wasn’t a biblical deity, he was a man who was assassinated while in the midst of his revolution fighting for racial equality. MLK didn’t die for peace, he died because he was brutally murdered. He was tailed by the government. He was consistently incarcerated. He was the victim of violence all throughout his activism leading to his death.  So don’t let anyone tell you MLK “died for peace” as a way of silencing you, he didn’t die for anything, he didn’t choose his death to make his activism more potent. He died while radically fighting for racial justice in an unprecedented manner. The implication that MLK chose to be a martyr is an insult to his memory.
