Absolutely Not! by K Mataōtama Strohl (They/Them)

Unfortunately, in 2022 K’s pieces were suppressed on the platform they used most and they were unable to safely continue their work. Now, in their safe community, K writes on their own personal experiences, inclusive language, misogynoir, antiBlackness in psychology and more. A lot of K’s pieces are free to all followers but some of the juiciest pieces are only available to monthly subscribers:

If your journey towards expunging antiBlackness from yourself and your work is dependent solely on the amount of free Black labor presented to you in a comfortable manner then...
During the summer of 2020 I worked at a nonprofit with a leadership team of all older White women. At meetings they would encourage us to read Brené Brown's Dare to Lead, a book which they had purchased several copies of and disbursed throughout the
The announcement of Dr. Claudine Gay's resignation from Harvard reminds me of the amazing interview I had with Dr. Janice Asare Gassam where she authentically shared she got her PHD to "move closer to Whiteness".
I haven't gotten my hair "done" in years and I completely forgot how differently people treat you. Random White women complimenting my hair was all the push I needed to bring it up in my next therapy session.
Not caring if Black women die IS the same thing as killing Black women.
You can't revive something that was always meant to be taken out back and shot at the first hiccup.
After my post about the Ohana Center of Excellence, I also decided to call in the other person who didn't get paid because they did not support me loudly like I thought they would, especially after they applauded me in the DMs. They then admitted the
I see a lot of other disabled creators push out content daily and sometimes I feel as if I'm not doing enough. This along with the way disability is measured, "rewarded" and scrutinized makes it sometimes difficult for me to be honest about my needs
Using the harm you've caused Black women, and most likely are continuing to cause Black women, as a means to promote your political agenda is not activism. Hope this helps.
RIP Aaron Bushnell. I'm not gone lie to y'all, this is the first time in my life that I’ve ever witnessed White people going this hard for anything other than maintaining the status quo.
I purposefully use a lot of widely recognized mental health language in my work. AntiBlackness is also creating separate words to describe our symptoms instead of simply including us in the conversations.
You can't be extremely absent in your child's life while being abusive towards their other parent and still be "a good guy". This myth, along with several others, center the dignity of men over the safety of those they harm.

Here’s what some have said about K’s writing:

Recently subscribed to K Mataotama Strohl (They/Them) 's ko-fi and I recommend it highly to everyone looking for a refreshingly genuine and educational space of bite sized yet profound insights and experiences. I also recommend it to everyone who feels ready to commit to supporting the voices that educate them for free otherwise. Thank you for your work K. It's both challenging and healing in the best ways.

Everyone one of these titles is so crucial in the conversation. We need bold ideas and strong perspectives. And you never fail to bring that K.

Your blog posts are always so insightful & real & mirror many of the same experiences I have had myself with misogynoir in all its many permutations from threats of litigation, police brutality, targeting, firing, etc.
