is duke the normal one? no

does duke think he’s the normal one? lowkey yes (but i’d argue that that’s in the same vein as the way black people side eye white people shenanigans like he thinks he’s the normal one because he’s always used a washcloth and moisturised his entire body everyday)

however, was duke the guy who got shot and said this is so fucking baller? yes absolutely

I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.

I am pleading once again for white liberals to read The New Jim Crow and see how racist policing and law enforcement is 1) bipartisan and 2) the key to how people of color (Black people specifically) are systemically, violently, and purposely kept in check in this country. Begging y'all to see that someone doesn't have to say a slur to be antiblack in the entirety of their belief system, that the status quo you live under is maintained by the suffering (both current and potential) of millions

“hindsight’s 20-20 but i’m already blind!”

me telling my homegirl about all the bullshit i found myself wrapped up in last night

[sxnshxnxxnddxxsxxs]

parents and technology is wild sometimes.

so my mother phoned me up (i live hundreds of miles away from her) asking if we still had a video player (vhs) (it’s still in our tv stand, she faces it every day) so i explain to her that it hasn’t moved (it’s been in the same spot for a solid 20 years).

here’s the thing video players had long since gone out of fashion by the time i formed long term memory, i am honestly not convinced i ever operated that thing independently.

there is literally no reason for my mother to look to me as an authority on her video player.

yet she does

following my last post about lush snow fairy i just saw all the tumblr snow bunny tags.

well that was certainly something…

i’m about to go listen to some dr umar.

[sxnshxnxxnddxxsxxs]

i got a snow fairy sample from lush and didn’t realise it was liquid shower gel and thus opened it and spilled like half of it on my duvet.

and now my bed smells like bubblegum and i don’t know what to do about it. becuase on one hand it’s smells nice but on the other hand it smells strong.

i just changed my sheets too.

something my brain’s been focusing on with the heralding of heroin chic’s comeback (thank you capitalism 🙄) is this conversation i had with my uncle about uni and uni lifestyle.

i was talking about how being a student means oscillating between struggle meals, eating purely for survival and spending a bunch on takeaways, paying an inordinate amount to companies like uber eats.

and he was telling me about how back in the day he and his people would do the 101 which is basically just breakfast and dinner and completely missing lunch.

it really got me thinking because my version of that as a student would be the 010 where i would only eat one meal a day and all the factors that go into that difference. because sure a decent portion of it has to do with my own personal issues with food but also i truly believe that the fact that im on the more feminine end of the gender spectrum plays a large role. and the absolutely exorbitant price of uni fees, the fact that i don’t know a single person who went to uni at the same time as me that had their loans cover their rent (let alone anything else) and then the cost of living and inflation on top of all of that.

so now already bad eating and living practices are being exacerbated and to an extent romanticised as just being part of the uni way of life and part of experience.

and it’s like at what point does it become just poverty?

Okay, hear me out: The seven decide to do a trauma candy salad on Piper’s social media, and within a day it becomes her most liked post and starts 6 new conspiracies.

Percy: Hey, I’m Percy Jackson, and when I was 12, I accidentally blew up the gateway arch, and there was a nation-wide manhunt for me because they thought I was a terrorist. I brought Reese's Pieces.

Annabeth: My name is Annabeth, and when I was 7 years old, I ran away from home and lived on the streets with two other kids until one of them was murdered in front of me. I brought starbursts.

Leo: Hi! I’m Leo, and my mother died in a warehouse fire, but my entire family blamed me for her death, so I was put in foster care. I brought skittles!

Piper: I’m Piper, and my dad was held hostage, and his kidnappers tried to blackmail me, so I brought the m&m's. 

Jason: My name is Jason and I was abandoned in the woods and raised by wolves. I brought some Swedish fish.

Frank: I’m Frank, and when my mom died, my grandmother kicked me out of the house and told me to go to California. After I came back to ask her about our family history, the house burned down and she vanished. I brought some gummy bears

Hazel: When I was 13, I died. I’m putting in life savers :)

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
