I dont think most non black people actually want to face their own (personal and communal) anti blackness. Black people are not seeing enough of yall doing shit that actually matters like, cutting contact with your anti black family, giving up work promotions and giving the to black people, opening up your homes to poor/homeless black people, doing more than just casually reading vauge black leftist theory online and being "friends" with black people because you know itll boost your political capital.
I dont believe in black people giving our energy to non black people or their issues until we can give this level of support to our own communities. Most non black people do not care that we exist and the ones who do are falling short of what it means to truly be a friend and co conspirator. I dont believe in solidarity anymore, it literally cant exist if non black people do not choose to put a large organized sustained effort into combating anti blackness in their hearts, homes and communities.
#me#personal#vent#im personally gonna be moving more of own work into supporting more of my own bc im not really seeing that happening atm#I am just very done with dealing with trying to support and be supported by non black people who dont even care about black people#Niggas its time to be selfish! if you are giving to these non black people and theyre leaving your cup dry then its not cool!! be selfish#personally im gonna try to make more of my support efforts go to communal fridges in my neighborhood and giving to haiti sudan and the cong#I suggest that we start being more selective with who we are giving our energies too bc we need to help other black people first

it's so interesting talking to and around my father, because personality-wise we are extremely similar (so much so that sometimes I'll say things, then my mother will go quiet and respond...you know, you sounded just like your father) but I grew up as a woman, and he grew up as a man, and that does that make an appreciable difference.
#he's in a vicious fight with the neighborhood HOA (seriously it's a saga) but if he did some soft power outreach#downplayed his viciousness; groveled a little and complimented their hard work; played the long game?#he'd OWN them.#but he doesn't want to do that and his life has never actually forced him to learn those skills.#meanwhile I'm sitting there wondering why he hasn't just...complimented karen.#told her he SOOOOOO appreciates how hard she works. he's so grateful she's showing him how the neighborhood is run.#oh and I do have questions and also if you're taking suggestions...?#like sorry but ''I walked into a room and people immediately recognized I was in charge'' is not a good longterm strategy.#''I know the most about this issue and am correct!!!'' again. not going to work.#how have you gotten to RETIREMENT AGE and this has never been soul-crushingly embarrassingly beaten into your head?#this is hs nonsense.#anyway. thanksgiving....happened.#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

I think a lot of people conflate superheroes as a whole to specifically Batman when it comes to the importance of a life. It makes sense, supers are meant to be put on pedestals and represent what we should all aspire to be. But it's weird when this gets applied to Spidey.
Just like everything else with Peter, he is a regular guy. Other superheros represent what we should aspire to be, but Spidey represents what we can be. He cares for every life. He hopes to give everybody a second chance. But if someone asks for it, Pete will beat their fucking skull in.
When his cop/detective friend Jean DeWolff was murdered, he hunted the man down and physically fought his way past Daredevil to kill the guy and ended up beating him within an inch of his life. When Kingpin got May shot, Peter broke into his prison, effortlessly beat him to a smear, and then promised that when May died, not if, he'd come back and finish the job- violently. There are just countless instances of him deciding "I'm actually going to kill him now totally" with Norman. Most notably of course is the glider incident, which Peter didn't actually go to with the intent to kill (weirdly enough despite Gobby killing his fiance). However, he took pleasure in beating him senseless and wasn't exactly broken up by the final thud.
Peter's a guy who meets every situation with the intent to help someone. He tries to find every opportunity to help another person, even someone who's trying to kill him, even if it's at his own detriment. He's not a perfect manifestation of morals and purity. He's just some guy. Some guy who cares a whole lot for people. And that makes it all the more special when he does help someone. When he talks a girl off a roof, or inspires a kid to be better than the system set him up for, or befriends his own rogues. It all feels so much more personal. This is just a person, one of us. Someone who fails more often than not, who makes bad jokes and gets angry and feels hate and love and pain all at once and most of all, someone who tries his best no matter what.
#WHICH AGAIN IS SOMETHING TASM 2 UNDERSTANDS ABOUT SPIDEY#i mean they don't have him kill anyone or be ultra violent but i meant that they understand the “try his best to help even if he fails” bit#im telling yall youre sleeping on this film#spiderman#spider man#does whatever a spider can#peter b parker#peter parker#spidey#superheroes#peter benjamin parker#character analysis#marvel comics#marvel#webslinger#friendly neighborhood spider man#friendly neighborhood spiderman#fnsm#daily bugle#webhead#comic books#wallcrawler#forgot about this blog#my b#sorry to my one follower i let you down#it will happen again

Following the chilling conclusion of All That's Left's first season, Mac and Layla and their friends find themselves scattered across a divided Los Angeles a year after their successful return to town. Matrix Corp has taken control— "With humanity's best interest in mind"— but with our protagonists' knowledge of Opportunity's destruction and Houston's unexpected fall, they know better than to trust the corporation and its near military-sized security force. Closed district gates separate them from one another and a new threat lurks just outside the city's walls— but resistance is on the rise, and it is only a matter of time before truth comes out. [SEASON ONE HERE]

#all that's left#edit:misc#nuclearedits#OK HIII here is season two :D i hope you guys like ittt the playlist is very funky just like the one for season one heehee#reblogs encouraged btw!! i love reading your guys' thoughts on stuff like this especially my original stories :^)#the opening theme is so good it works so well. very similar to the first season opening with wouldn't it be nice#wide shot of los angeles from the sky with the closed districts and one district in ruins because they let ghouls in a year back#with the song playing in the background as the camera pans over to show how bad the situation is after like#a little text intro that explains what happened in season one and how they made it back to los angeles safely for their happy ending#but. well. now there's this! and then the title shows in the screen and the song continues playing while you get like#a sequence of random shots from what life inside town is like now that matrix corp has taken control. are you seeing my vision#anyway i have a lot to say about the whole playlist again like with the other one but i won't do that here right now#this season would be fun because it jumps around more between different guys whereas in season one it was all one group#now you get a lot more interesting perspectives and there's additions to the cast and gabriella gets her own storyline#because she's stuck in some neighborhood outside the city walls with like. HUNDREDS of ghouls in slumber#and there's no way for her to get out of there safely. but she's going to try anyway#obviously this is never gonna be an actual tv show but i wish it was. i really wish it was i have so many visuals for it in mind

#boku no hero academia#deku#izuku midoriya#bnha#my hero academia#i wonder how many people are going to be upset with me for siding with inko here KDFJHGKJ#but no like seriously i wouldn't let him go back to ua!! he almost DIED#MULTIPLE TIMES!!!#i would've pulled him out of that school after usj!!!#i'm sorrryyy but that's her SON and i KNOW he has a dream but he can chase that dream in ANOTHER HERO SCHOOL#ONE WITHOUT A BIG FAT TARGET ON IT!!!#and like let's also look at that kidnapping incident from inko's pov real fast#yes yes i know this isn't about katsuki but it is for a second okay hear me out right#you're a mom. and there's another family in your neighborhood. right?#and they have a kid your son's age!#they're friends but that's not really relevant right now#what IS relevant is a kid your son's age that you know. that you've probably babysat at least once. on your block. was kidnapped by villain#and sure he got home safe but that's not what MATTERS (well it does matter. it's good he got home safe) what MATTERS is that it HAPPENED#and it's not like it happened at like the mall or something or somewhere your son wasn't with him for! it happened NEXT TO YOUR SON#your son WATCHED IT HAPPEN. he was THERE. it COULD HAVE BEEN HIM.#and it happened while under the school's care and watch.#i wouldn't let my son back into their care and watch if i was inko.#i really wouldn't.#okay rant over sorry i PROMISE

after a certain amount of time spent leafblowing you must be doing something wrong. you are just blowing the leaves back and forth now, surely.
#if only there were some way to contain these leaves. perhaps some kind of yard debris receptacle#stormdrainposting#-adjacent#yesterday i was walking through a nearby neighborhood and saw multiple people raking leaves out of yards and sidewalks into the street#and at first i was like oh my god why would you do that. that is the opposite of my instinct#but then i remembered that allegedly some of the more well-off neighborhoods have leaf pickup?#like the city comes by and collects leaves in the street. not in my neighborhood lol#but i guess if the city was going to do that and you knew when it would happen...it would make sense to rake your leaves out there#so i hope that is the explanation

just your friendly neighborhood pigeon dropping in to say PLEASE remember to lock your doors and keep them locked! pls stay safe — no matter how safe / secure you feel your neighborhood or building is, it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
#i say this cause i had something happen the other day that spooked the heck out of me#i was home alone and heard the doorknob turn#i thought it was my mom but nothing happened#i didn’t have the door locked because our building requires a FAB / someone to buzz you in in order to get in#so i went and locked the door & a few minutes later the doorknob was shaking like someone was trying to get in#i looked through the peephole and saw a man dressed in all black limping away down the hall#i immediately called management saying i wasn’t sure if it was something criminal / dangerous or if he can’t find an apartment / needs help#management checked into it IMMEDIATELY which i so appreciated#turns out the man had recently had a stroke and was here to visit a family member#and due to confusion caused by the effects of the stroke he thought it was my apartment#but god that could have been SO bad#please please please keep your doors locked!!!!!#no matter how safe / secure you feel your building or neighborhood is!#this goes for your cars too!!!!#🪞𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 👛 ✎ *☆ ᵒᵒᶜ.

dear british silm people: where approximately would be a good place for the Dagorath final battle to happen?
#silm#silmarillion#geography#britain#i'm working on writing/drawing the maglorath#and at least in my hc/maglorathverse modern british isles = tol himling#and i want the battle to happen there as a symbolic thing#but i am very much not british and have no clue where to put it#and i don't really want to invent an entirely new place? like im fine changing something where theres just a parking lot or ikea irl#but i don't want to just tape a fake peninsula onto your country#btw if you have a good semi-secluded suburban area to tentatively place maglors neighborhood in that would be great too#but that one's easier to excuse bc his presence does weird things to the area anyways#so it could easily be somewhere not visible/accessible to humans

#shaking a thought around like a snow globe don’t think too hard there’s very limited answers because#there’s no way in hell a Roegadyn would be named this. or an Au’ra?? or a Miqo??? I mean I guess it could happen#under really specific circumstances#but this is not specific circumstances time this is Finnigin from like your neighborhood#though I do keep almost wanting to pronounce his name like Fin’n’Gin (Jin; like the booze)#day-2-day#guy who has an age range and a name but not a race <-#it’s another Kid so he’s not super important I’m just. waves hand vaguely. let the people speak or s/t

just realized my situation in college is so funny rn. heres why in a greentext format
>be gumy's parents >you are Good Christian Parents who want your daughter to Walk In The Ways Of The Lord >when she wanted to go to a secular college you were Very Worried that your Impressionable Daughter would get Radicalized By The Godless Atheist College People (this one is actually somewhat justified- i AM very impressionable and got radicalized in junior high in a way that was very very hard on my mental health and my relationships with my family) > be relieved when she chooses to go to a Good Christian College instead (it was my own free choice and i had my reasons). > surely, with her environmental science classes being taught from a God-Fearing Perspective, and with no Godless Atheist College People there, she won't get radicalized! > she gets radicalized anyways
#in my defense. learning about environmental science in the world today is like. how can you Not become radical#like. youre telling me there was 33000 PARTS PER MILLION OF LEAD IN THE SOIL OF A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE GOV KNEW AND DID NOTHING???#WHILE RESPONDING WITH MUCH GREATER AID AND SPEED TO A FAR LESSER PROBLEM IN A NEARBY RICHER AND WHITER NEIGHBORHOOD???#wow :))) okay :))) thats so cool and awesome guys :))) go america amirite? :)))#like the reason environmental science is such a leftist science#is because after like 5 minutes learning about the state our world is in and why you cease to be conservative#also my envirosci prof is great. like he teaches the class in a very balanced way??#he presents the facts of what's happening and allows class discussion but lets us draw our own conclusions from them#which is a based teaching method here bc if he presented them with his idea of what we Should Be Doing ppl would get resistant

Do you guys ever go outside or just look at nature and tell when things ™️ Spawned In ??? Because it’s happened to me twice…
#rants n rambles#also I’m not allowed to post up here for mental health reasons#completely unrelated.#but like you can go outside or either look at certain things that you’re familiar with in your neighborhood and tell it wasn’t there before#and I’m not talking about random human made inanimate objects im talking about stuff like trees#like I just looked outside and I could these four or five trees haven’t been here and now they look weird#and this has happened before (comma) just the other day ago my tree in my backyard looked funny#I can tell the difference girl I’m not silly 😭#whichu think I am? 5?

trust me, i'm mixed but decidedly am nonetheless Not Black in said mix, and i know what person gets awkward "chuckles" and whose "childish" usage of language (mine) gets actual laughter
#i just saw a tiktok of non-Black people using Very Evident AAVE and like. idk if theyre fluent in AAVE or not bc im not fluent#and i know growing up by proxy of those communities (even if you yourself are Non-Black) can lead to fluency and Black people#tend to welcome those fluent speakers. im not talking to those people. but anyone who is not fluent?? stop it#youre missing the real comedy gold here buckaroo for that racist poppycock and fiddlesticks. the fuck#...but yeah im not fluent in AAVE at all and even i was p sure the people in that tiktok were not fluent either like ew yucky#last time i experienced people being uncool like that was at a party where a white dude whose background implied he was#definitely appropriating AAVE ''because the word just sounds funnier'' (i wonder why. ask yourself why an AAVE word sounds ''funny'')#bc bro went to private school in a largely white neighborhood and he kept being baffled that people found me funnier than him#like gee its almost comedy is funnier when it is thoughtful about why you are using the words youre using to what end#but the guy was BEFUDDLED like he wanted the social currency i was getting but he didnt want to be seen as ''lame'' for#using words that were ''uncool and babyish'' like. yeah. thats the comedy. thats the point. its that juxtaposition of that#with me being super rad and tubular you silly-billy. i dont feel babied at all for using the words i do#in fact i think itd be eVEN FUNNIER if some manly man started using ''smoochy-smooch'' and ''lickety-split''#anyway. that tiktok brought me unwelcome flashbacks. fuck that party-guy. ugh#(for the record: i did try to correct him. but he kept insisting ''its not AAVE; it's internet slang'' and id be like ''yeah okay but where#do you it came from before the internet?? have you even looked it up?'' and hed say ''i dont need to. shit came from twitter. i saw it#happen myself'' like?? ''nO YOU DIDNT. YOU JUST SAW WHEN IT ENTERED YOUR SPHERE OF THE INTERNET. THAT DOESNT#MEAN IT WAS BORN THERE YA GOOFY-GOOBER'' smh i tried)#(ps. i have since learned you gotta google that shit FOR THEM and IN FRONT OF THEM. and even then its a 50/50. god damn it)#me

remember to check your Halloween candy for tears, holes, needles, or general unusuals, kiddos! Happy Hallows!
#Even if you don't live in a neighborhood with that kind of tenacity it's still always safe to check#Needles and shit like that are worse case scenario#But little holes or tears in the wrapping can also risk things like dirt or bugs getting into the candy and that's bad too#I've lived in one of those “needles in shit given to kids” neighborhoods for a while now#But I also know that dirt/mold in your candy is just as dangerous from holes and tears#And not all holes/tears are created by the giver! Sometimes shit just happens!
