ratchedness as praxis.

ok, dude. 18-15n-77-30w? i’ve been following you b/c i appreciate the pics you post. what i do not appreciate is how you attach your name to every photo as though you yourself had something to do with taking it or producing it. and it’s unnessary anyway b/c when ppl reblog you your name pops up anyway.
but im especially pissed not b/c your deliberately deleted the caption on this photo. This woman’s name is Alexis Pauline Gumbs, she an amazing writer/scholar/artist/feminist, and she does all her shit via community. from the ground up. further more, the book she’s holding has a chapter in it that she wrote. by erasing the caption from this picture, along with all the other captions you erase, you are fucking with black women’s work AND their money. stop it. we know you don’t take these pictures. we know you don’t have shit to do with it. be respectful to the black women that you use to make your name (and i know a name is being made, i’ve seen your name on at least one “tumblrs to follow” list), and LEAVE. THEIR. CAPTIONS. ON.
