Confession #183

"I think Boimler and Gul Madec, the female Cardassian from the Lower Decks game, should be a canon couple on the show."

Even though I’m light skinned and mixed race and I've never experienced colorism myself, some fans need to stop downplaying or excusing idols for being colorist. I, along with other Black fans and other POC already deal with racism in the fandom. But I could imagine and hear about how many dark skinned or monoracial Black fans would feel even more betrayed or hurt by their biases’ negative comments as if they’re personally insulting them; the fans.

Isn’t it bad that anyone, let alone idols, make such comments whether they’re making fun of a member’s skin tone (which most of the time isn’t that different from everyone else, at least to me) or saying how dark skin is bad in general, so why are you giving your faves excuses when it’s unacceptable for everyone else to you? Don’t give me that “iT’s ThEiR cULTuRe!!!!” either.

#183: “I’ve always been obsessed with The Nutcracker, but after falling in love with the Barbie version, I’ve secretly longed to have my own Nutcracker that would come to life and be just like Prince Eric. Or, honestly, I’ll take any man that is like Prince Eric!”

A part of me wants to be accepted in the nursing program.  Another part of me don't.

If I do get into the nursing program, I am going to encounter the questions of whether or not if I want to stay in my current college or not.

If I don't I would take a break, that is long overdue. I'm tired. Emotionally spent.
