3.) Black Trans Folkx exist and are real. Period.
4.) Black MAGE’s (credit Crystal foreva) do the majority of the work and receive the overwhelming majority of the violence.
5.) Start funding people, dreams, and Hope, not donating to foundations and charities. Start with Black Folkx.

You don’t want goodness and Love, you want dominion and authority. Hard pass. No thanks. And Jesus probably came back and died from smallpox or on a spaceship. You already blew it, but you waiting on a mulligan, and we ain’t playing golf, bro.
