oh! the Black lead is annoying and insufferable and u want him to die? but you like the other two (white) leads just fine? oh the Black woman who's made morally questionable or evil decisions is irredeemable and no matter what new information you learn there's just "something off about her"? but the white woman who's made morally questionable or evil decisions is understandable or even just yass evil girl boss moment slay? three page essay due on my desk monday explaining why. with citations. the rest of the class and i are dying to hear your analysis.

If I can be a hater for a second: I find the mystique around the phrase "wine-dark sea" to be rather tedious. Like. It's clearly referring to shade rather than hue. Idk if it's different in ancient Greek but I don't think Homer ever said "the wine-colored sea." It literally has the word "dark" in the thing, you guys.

If I said that something black was "as black as the night," would you take that to mean it's a sort of dark blue spangled with stars and planets? You would not.

I've recently had white women in professional contexts tell me that they were quote "hurt" and "gutted" by what amounted to very minor professional faux pas on my part. I remember reading a white woman academic's essay on Jane Eyre that began with recounting her emotional upset upon having Jane Eyre "taken away from her" by postcolonial / anti-racist scholarship. white women's emotions do have currency in personal and professional spaces in selective contexts, i.e. when wielded against people of colour 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just saw my doctor type "FUCKED FOR LIFE" on my chart then he turned the screen away and stopped making eye contact with me

they want you to care more about 'job' than yaoi... don't fall for this scam

u can tell the 4chan migration on here was successful / we lost the culture war bc anytime i even touch a post regarding autism i automatically get recommended more post about it and the post will literally have phrases like “total neurotypical death” with 20k notes and a bunch of high functioning white autistic ppl rbing it happily and giggling and whatever not even caring that “tnd” is a racist dog whistle no not even a dog whistle just straight up a racist chant but if u ask them to stop using it they go “so now we cant even complain about neurotypical?????” as if thats whats being criticized instead of the fact that yall r extremely open to fascism as long as its fun

to clarify any variation of “total ____ death” is just a rebranding of the nazi slogan “total nigger death” like. ur just using a nazi slogan, u cannot swap out black people in that phrase and think its okay to use now, especially if ur still using a word that starts with the letter n like im kinda sick of yall being so okay with hating black people

never understood the hype on "non-newtonian fluids" bc that shit dumb. "oh it's a liquid until you hit and then it acts like a solid" yeah dumbass woah this substance changes properties depending on its surroundings or how it's interacted with? never heard that before. hit water hard enough and it'll be the same as concrete. this oobleck shit not special

it has been said a million times but every now and then I still get so emotional about how girls and young women legitimately run the music business with their tastes and still everything they like gets ridiculed and dismissed as frivolous. watching a boy band documentary rn and like yeah. the beatles would be nothing without adrienne from brooklyn. genuinely nothing
