dont put your life’s work on tumblr
medicine
im serious. save it for publishing or something and then leak it if u really wanna make it accessible to all. dispensing it all into tumblr from the jump is a big miss steak.
I wrote a small piece on the racialization of poverty, it wasn’t even a complete piece it was literally just some thoughts and it got a lot of notes.
A week later, people came to me to pitch the article (around 1700 words this time) to a couple of places including the Washington post and a week later some white bitch stole my ideas and everything and almost all of my points and wrote narratives that aren’t her own and like…
just keep your serious stuff off tumblr
all dis true
I’ve had my work nabbed by jezebel and buzzfeed while white women get paid to rehash my work
submit your work and find opportunities at my writing submissions/work blog @writingopps. You can get paid to write and it’s become my living only because I learned to value myself more than notes on tumblr.

Yup. It’s why my original work doesn’t go up here. Y'all can read my shitty fanfic but my gems stay with me. Pay $5.99 for the Kindle edition when it comes out like everyone else.

Translation:
Baby: [tiny yell]
Dad: [laughing] Hold on a second, it’s just the tip. Will you wait?
Baby: [tiny yell again and laughter]
Dad: Hold on! [laughing] Hold on, hold on. [laughing] Hold on.
-a beat-
Baby: [starts laughing]
Dad: [laughing] Hold on, hold on. Just hold on with no yelling, huh. Hold on
Baby: [tiny yell]
-both laughing-
Dad: You scared me
-both laughing a lot-
Dad: Hold on, I’m just going to cut this tip. My god, do you have to make such an scandal? It’s just the tip. [laughing] Wait, wait.
Baby: [makes whining sound]
Dad: Oh no!
-both laughing a lot -
Dad: Hold on, just this tip.
Baby: [tiny yell]
-both laughing-
