#teej talks

I'm literally in the middle of a living, breathing example of how close we still are to Jim Crow, segregation, and the inertia of white supremacy. I'm in Alabama at my stepdad's high school reunion. Class of 1973. The school was created after they closed the Black and white schools and merged them into one...keeping the colors, mascot, and school song of the previous white school. We're at a picnic and they're showing a slideshow of the graduating class...over half of which are white...not a single one of whom is here today. Again, this reunion is packed but there's not one single white person. I asked why and was told, "They have their own." My stepdad is 62. The abuse he and his classmates endured at the hands of their white classmates 44 years ago is still present and real for them. Those white folks still have no desire to associate with the Black people they went to school with. In those 44 years, those white folks have raised kids and have grandkids to whom they have no doubt passed on their racism. This stuff wasn't "so long ago" and it's not "in the past." People are still alive and living with this daily.

Gonna try to write fanfics again, it’d be good to get back into it

In the theater about to watch Detroit

Honestly, I'll only be happy with Reysky if it comes with Finnrey because otherwise what is the fucking point?

Thoroughly enjoyed Spider-Man: Homecoming! Endearing and hilarious. The Iron Man of it all was unnecessary but ultimately didn't distract from the film. Gonna see it again tonight. That's how good it was. The best Marvel movie in a while!

Y'all please send me some "I hope you get that job" vibes! I spent over 30hrs perfecting this take home project they gave me for the final interview tomorrow (they said it'd be 3-4hrs LOL) and I swear if they don't give me this job but implement my bomb ass ideas they gonna have to run me my coins or I'mma snap!
