The Curbside Prophet

My name is Alyssa Mae.

I am a mid-twenties avid intersectional feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and friend. I will be graduating from Bucknell University in May with degrees in Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I work with survivors of sexual assault and other trauma, and I fix computers for a living.

I often blog about what it is like to live at the intersections of a few different mental illnesses, queerness, and sexuality, along with posts about sexism, racism, rape culture, and LGBT rights. There is a trigger warning for these on my entire blog. You will see posts about depression, eating disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, and fat activism. This has been my safe space for four years now, and I reserve the right to ask you to leave it if necessary.

Welcome to my life.

Just a reminder it exists.

I don’t know enough about what it’s most related to, if it’s class, education, ability, country of residence, language spoken, etc. I think for different people it’s different things, like internet access (class + education) or language access (see: every post where I talk about gender/sex and how that’s not a translatable argument).

But yeah. Think about who is NOT part of the conversations you have on Tumblr and in other social justice spheres.
