You can't tell me otherwise.

It's a shame that some of you even have the audacity to say, "Stay in your lane."

My lane is and has always been living under the constant awareness that I could and have a higher chance of getting killed by a cop while being pulled over for having a tail-light out just because he's nervous around me when he was given no reason to be such.
This is what I and millions of others like me have to live with from the time we are children.

I would say "shame on you," but knowing you hold this stance and even defend it, you have no shame. So let me build this block list even longer, because based on what you say about the events and protests going on around in every state of this country AS WELL AS countries around the world calling for the same course of action of reform, equality, and equity -- it tells me whether or not you would watch me bleed in the street if I were shot.
By anyone.

Creators and consumers alike who are like this, ones I used to follow, be fans of, or maybe even respect:
You disgust me.

I feel a little more at ease now than about a week and a half ago, for sure, but only until this past Sunday did it feel like TFF actually ended.

My buddy  spoonyfox stayed with me in town for a little bit before and a little bit after TFF, and I gotta tell you... That whole week was nothing but party, and it was a fantastic party at that.

It was so great seeing a bunch of old friends, making a bunch of new friends, and getting to know people I had at the very least met, but never went further than that.


 -fao- ,  kafeibat , and  danielfoxford. Ya'll. It was so awesome rooming with you. I had such a great time, and I'm really looking forward to next year.

 kafeibat I'm so glad we were able to get you there safe. You clicked with us IMMEDIATELY and it was so awesome having you around. I'm so glad you had a great time with us, and I really look forward to partying with you again.
You've honestly convinced me to get a partial and enter a dance contest down the line. And Saturday's rave??? LIKE??? FUCKING SHIT IT WAS AWESOME??? We gotta party again. I'm so ready.
OH!! And break a leg in the dance competition at FWA!!! Not. Literally. Please. Not literally.

 pseudosamurai ,  snowykun ,  jarlarild It was so great seeing you guys again.  pseudosamurai I'M SORRY FOR SCARING YOU AWAKE RUNNING OVER THE RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE WAY THERE. But on the real, I'm super excited for next year, if you're up for rolling that road trip with me again. I dunno if  spoonyfox will be riding with us that time around, but we'll definitely see.

Now for THESE heckiedeckies

Ya'll. Oh my god.
 vizza IT WAS SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU AGAIN. IT'S LITERALLY BEEN THREE YEARS I MISSED YOU. It was so great getting to hang out with you again and catch up. I can't wait to roll with you next year if you go.

 maroanalove WE. NEED. TO PARTY TOGETHER. I'm mildly upset that I missed Friday's rave so I could roll with ya'll. But the call of the Rangers was too strong. Saturday, even though it was short, was absolutely amazing, especially setting up the dance circle at the rave. I can't wait to actually throw down and party all night with you and your crew.

 mrbitchin I'm so ready to party with you. I'm ready. I'M READY.
Seriously though. You are a wonderful person, and I can't wait to roll with you again. I still have that list of movies you gave me to watch. I'm gonna do what I can to get those watched so we can talk about'em, because they all seemed like some damn good pictures.

 ekbellatrix  rokemi It was awesome to meet you two again and properly hang out. It was 2014 AC the last time we did, but our groups were going in two different directions -- which is fine!! -- but still, it was so great to meet up and hang out.  spoonyfox speaks highly of ya'll, and I admire the work that ya'll do. I look forward to hanging out and partying with ya'll again.

 kuragehime HAPPY. FUCKING. BIRTHDAY.
I know it was during the con, but still. Again. Happy birthday. It was so wonderful to meet and hang out with you this year. I carry the name "Passion" with pride. I might get that on my next badge or something. Hehe~ We'll see.

 evanrude I'm sorry we didn't talk too much, but every time we did, it was an absolute pleasure. And I know we follow each other on twitter, and I've been keeping up, BUT ARE YOU OKAY??? I HEARD ABOUT THE AIRPORT DEALEY AND I WANT TO SURROUND YOU IN PILLOWS AND ICE CREAM??? Seriously! You're a fucking BEAST.
I'm excited to hang out with you more, too!!

 keglunek It was really fun hanging out with you and partying at the rave! We need to party again some time, because I feel like that little bit where we met up was literally just a taste of how fucking insane it can be. I'm super excited for next year.

 speakernight DUDE. IT WAS SO COOL TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!! I know it was only a short time, but it was so much fun. I really hope you can roll to Youmacon this year, because I'll definitely be there. You'll love it so much. I can't wait to hang out with you again. We should totally hang out more than just at the rave next time!!
AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE PHOTOSHOOT?? LIKE HOLY SHIT??? I LOVED THEM SO MUCH

I KNOW I MISSED PEOPLE IN THIS AND I'M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Everyone I met and hung out with this year. Ya'll are so awesome. It was such a great con, and I had such a fantastic time. I hope you all can make it next year at that new location, and I hope we can all hang out together again. I miss you all so much. Keep being the awesome people that you are.

Much love~
