When you care enough about yourself to give yourself erotic comfort, you are showing yourself that you matter. In other words: self-esteem! In or out of a relationship, you can give yourself pleasure. This may be especially important for women (so many women have essentially gotten one not-so-useful message from sex ed: “Someday my prince will come, and so will I”) – but for people of all genders, solo sex says “you’re worth it.”

A statewide campaign is under way to keep kids home from California’s public schools on May 22, a day designated to teach students about the contributions of openly gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk who was assassinated in 1978 at City Hall. Wednesday would have been Milk’s 83rd birthday.

Public schools are encouraged to commemorate Milk on Harvey Milk Day, but a family values group called SaveCalifornia.com is running radio ads in certain cities, calling on parents to boycott the day by keeping their children home from school.

I think Black people are not afforded the luxury of existing without being pigeonholed into an aggressive state of being. Many times Black people are displayed as hyper-aggressive and because of this display we create a mentality that were stuck with hyper-aggressiveness. 

That isn’t to say that being strong, tough, or aggressive are bad things, they come with our survival. But the vulnerability  pain, and gentleness that Black people reveal are not present many times in the media or even in our homes. The luxury of intimacy with other people is so small in comparison to the thousands of images of us being strong and “animalistic” (by intimacy I mean without guards, barriers, being invested with other people without a facade to what you are or layers you create.)

Similar to the phrase ”carefree black girls and boys”, I wanted to give a safe space to vulnerablity of Blackness to be  on display

Genteel, Romanctic, Poetic, Ethereal, intimate and vulnerable imagery of Black people.
