Queer/trans folk can't have one damn award that is theirs? shut the fuck up, please. gotdamn. You gonna bitch that white people can't win the Essence lit awards?

eta; as <user=karnythia> pointed out, there has, apparently, even been bitching that white people can't win Coretta Scott King awards, which is the other award I almost mentioned, assuming all right thinking people got the need for white people nt to eligible those awards. really, the problem is that I assumed people are fucking right minded. a certain percentage of people are assholes, and I always forget how big that percentage is.

Oh hell naw. If I click that, am I going to need the whiskey?

[karnythia]

[maevele]

[karnythia]

Haha...no. The husband is already giving me the eye about mine.

Oh I remember that little set to. It was not pretty.

[karnythia]

I forgot about it (okay blocked it out) because I got caught up in the one about how POC authors write YA "wrong".

[ladyjax]

Chirst on a cracker. That's all I can say.

I read the whole thing, and the first few comments. and I don't have shit here to mix with my whiskey, and I still can't slap people through my laptop, so I had to stop reading it.

[maevele]
