Ha ha so i just realized that i can actually use this site to blog! 
oh whoop-die!... but enough celebrating this grand discovery ... on to serious business.
There have been four murders of trans people in the past month. Its so sad considering that most of the Victims were people of color, I find myself feeling like i don't know what to do or how to coupe. The funny thing is that i am a pretty well gendered individual and i couldn't possibly know what a trans person would be going through when hearing the news, but goodness i know what it feels like to be a colored queer and its not fun. BEing black in America is no easy road, but being queer and black.. and trans... oh geez.
I used to complain about the fact that the colored queer community was vitually invisible. However now that i am faced with dealing with these murders i am less certain that visibility is the best thing. The individuls targeted were targeted because they were visable targets for people's misplaced hatered for things that they don't understand. Hearing of their death is almost enough to make me wanna hide unde a rock.
grr... I've never been one for words. But i just had to say something..... May their souls rest in peace

i didn't know them.... but i love them, and their death is a harsh reminder that there is still so much worth fighting for. .. so much that needs to be fought for.
i'll end this by saying ,
love yourselves, and love others.... its all u can do to make the world a livable place.
