Artist Marcia X @CaribenxMarciaX@scholar.social

Please help me get stable while I am in a bit of a financial bind

"As I work to complete my program, I realize I cannot work any kind of “regular” job. Since I am trained as and enjoy working as a photographer, I intend to freelance to sustain myself as I study. These last couple of months have been particularly difficult as I’ve tried to maintain."

I'm boycotting the fedi this month for #BHM.

W.E did a defed for reasons of antiblackness, & the debate became about being racist towards primarily non black poc, meaning the fedi again shows it doesn't care abt antiblackness; the convo centered ppl NOT Black. That's a problem.

On top of the fact that white ppl were doing what they could to erase Blk voices or being demeaning towards them whilst misusing AAVE, bc it didnt serve their narrative. And they weren't checked 🙃

Please engage w what I say
Not what you want me to have said
Not with your projections
And not w ur own insecurities

There's a lack of ethical engagement on here and I think it occurs because of several reasons, but none outweight the negative

Any sign of the same nonsense I've endured on PV will have me delete this account with no questions asked fast.

I am professional scholar and artist, and I take my work seriously enough to no longer make space for the bs.

I will NOT take the abuse with grace as I've done for nearly 3 yrs.
I'm here to learn and to educate. BC that is literally my job.

Now lets go

if i am writing phenomenologically

is it ok practice to have a citation in there? or no?

Lastly, there's alot of Blk/PoC users who are the ones that I see rb'ing themselves for their projects, mutual aid campaigns and other things...

megaphone and being loud .... it's giving karen complaining bc 'those' people are tew loud

#feditips

I boost myself bc after being here for 5ish yrs, I've said everything that can be said about the behavior of certain ppl :cough white: and there's no need to repeat myself bc frankly

i dont have the time, machetes and money to do it over n over for a group of ppl who mostly pay me and others dust
