  • its fine to attack kamala for being a bad person and what not yall but please make sure you are checking yourself for brain worms yall you are not immune to misogynoir. think "if a leftist black women came here and read my comment, would she feel uncomfortable?"

    That's literally been my whole deal with Kamala since day one. Attack her for all her bad political choices and how she upholds the status quo, do not attack her for being a woman or being black or being a black woman. It's that simple. Viciously critique her on the stuff she says and does, other stuff just seems unnecessary. All this "is she black enough" or is she "too black" or the alterative "woman enough/not woman enough" is all plainly wack to me. She's a cop, deeply uncharismatic, and generally everything wrong about the modern DNC, that's all more than enough to dunk on her for in my book. All the "IDENTITY™©®" stuff I think one can leave out without losing any meaningful argument.

    come chat

    I have been going to my local library and checking out a ton of books on nerd shit. Trying to get more well-read and reading a bunch of more this year. My plan is to write my own video game world full of cool nerd-ass lore with cool pro-black undertones and themes in a fantasy realm without the lame "this thing X is obviously just the author's stand-in for black thought". As such I'm just reading more em_poc fantasy authors, and there are a TON (which is both cool and good). It's crazy how easy it is finding the types of books, just going to my local library and asking the staff.

    Go to your local library, it rules.

    • Reminder:

      Local libraries are under attack nation-wide.

      Please patronize them and hopefully work at them or get elected to your library board, idk

      Libraries are attacked by evangelicals. Want to be anti-evangelical? Be pro-library. 😎

  • also reading a book on pre-colonial African history. it makes a good point on how (usually) Western historians rely on archaeological information (remaining structures, their age and design, etc.) that created a portrayal of distinct tribes as seemingly living as one large group because those structures were still intact (conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa were generally far smaller, over minor issues and were quickly resolved).

    ironically makes a point on the heavy overlap between Western imperialism and cultural assimilation through the destruction and erection of their own cultural symbols over others.

  • 3 weeks into my third wolf session (over 2 months) and my 360 waves are finally properly developing!

    • the waves on my front-left and front-right are very deep (all the hairs form a wave pattern if i brush a little). sleeping on one side probably helped a lot too.
    • the waves on my back are more "wavy" than waves so not very deep.
      • find it difficult brushing the back bc you have to curve each stroke down your head (try it if you don't understand) rather than just pushing the brush in one direction otherwise you miss most of your hairs.
    • the waves on my front are like a month behind the rest of my hair lol. not very visible but they're getting there. idk why bc brushing that side is so simple compared to the other angles but my guess is sleeping on my back and sides and not my front made a huge difference over time

    my focus now is on my front and back waves to get them to catch up with my front sides. after that i think i should be good for another cut but i'll wait it out and maybe switch to a harder brush. i'm also experimenting with 2 rather than 1 weekly wash-n-style's so hopefully that helps too!
