I was tagged by @its-chelisey-stuff (WE LITERALLY JUST KNEW EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF MORE THAN FRIENDS)
1. What is the colour of your hairbrush? I don’t have a hairbrush but I have a comb 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
2. Name a food you never eat. Seafood because of allergies. I can eat fish and crabs though. Basically anything that stores sea water (apart from fish).
3. Are you typically too warm or too cold? IT’S ALWAYS TOO HOT HERE. I miss the UK where I can just layer up if it gets too cold.
4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? I just woke up 😂😂
5. What’s your favourite candy bar? Are there candy bars which are not chocolate???
6. Have you ever been to a professional sports game? Does esports count? I went to Kuala Lumpur DotA 2 Major in 2018. Otherwise, I didn’t go to any.
7. What is the last thing you said out loud? “I’m printing it!”
8. What is your favourite ice cream? Strawberry. Life is already bitter as is.
9. What was the last thing you had to drink? Tea. I just had breakfast.
10. Do you like your wallet? Indifferent.
11. What was the last thing you ate? Fried rice. Not Uncle Roger’s style because I am not Chinese.
12. Did you buy any new clothes last weekend? Big fat nope.
13. What was the last sporting event you watched? DotA 2 online tournament. I have a team I have been supporting since I started watching it in 2015 and their game started really late last night (time zone thing)
14. What is your favourite flavor of popcorn? Just the plain one.
15. Who was the last person you sent a text message to? I texted my friend (whom I managed to make him watch his first kdrama) from school to prepare a box of tissue before watching episode 15 of More than Friends.
16. Ever been camping? Camping was an annual thing back in my primary school.
17. Do you take vitamins? I don’t go out under the sun, if that’s what you mean. But no, I don’t take supplements because I am too lazy.
18. Do you regularly attend a place of worship? Not since the pandemic.
19. Do you have a tan? At this rate, I call it sunburn. But I haven’t gone out much (apart from going to work as and when needed, groceries, and taking my car for a spin) since the pandemic so the tan line is becoming fader.
20. Do you prefer chinese or pizza? Pineapple on pizza. Sue me!
21. Do you drink your soda through a straw? I pour it into a glass and drink it like a champ. But I also try to reduce single-use plastics in my daily life.
22. What colour of socks do you usually wear? Black is always the safe option (yes it tells a lot about my personality huh)
23. Do you ever drive above the speed limit? Yes, but only where the speed limit is stupidly too low. Otherwise, I rarely drive above 100 km/h.
24. What terrifies you? The list is too long, it should probably be a separate post. I project my issues on the shows that I watch so every now and then you would see me analysing characters or incidents while projecting my issues.
25. Look to your left, what do you see? A broken mirror (in my bedroom), just the perfect metaphor for my twisted perspectives in life.
26. What chore do you hate most? Scrubbing the toilet.
27. What do you think of when you hear an Australian accent? Please talk slowly so I can understand you (also applicable to any other languages tbh).
28. What’s your favorite soda? Carbonated lemonade.

30. What’s your favourite number? 3 and its first 3 multiples
31. Who was the last person you talked to? My brother, when I passed him the printed material he asked me to print early in the morning for his chess coaching session (he’s a chess coach, yes).
32. Favourite meat? Chicken, because it’s the easiest to be eaten.
33. Last song you listened to? Late Regret by Ong Seong Wu (More than Friends OST). I even listened to the 1-hour loop on YouTube while editing my screencaps last night. And it took longer than the editing process so I also listened to the video with hangul and English lyrics afterwards. I am more comfortable with hangul than the romanisation so I guess my pathetic Korean lessons paid off.
34. Last book you read? I can’t even remember the last time I read a book. Probably mid last year?
35. Favourite day of the week? Saturday.
36. Can you say the alphabet backwards? Haven’t tried 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
37. How do you like your coffee? Latte. But I am not a coffee drinker and only started drinking occasionally this year due to the amount of work I had to put in during the first half of this year (yes, even during the pandemic)
38. Favourite pair of shoes? I only have 2 pairs of shoes to even have any favourite. 1 pair for work and another for casual wear.
39. Time you normally get up? Half past 6 if I have to go to the office. Otherwise, I’ll wake up for morning prayer and continue sleeping until half an hour before I have to clock in. On weekends, I continue sleeping until closer to 10 o’clock. If I stayed up the night, probably closer to noon.
40. Which do you prefer, sunrise or sunset? Sunset all the way, because it’s the beginning of my favourite time of the day. Yes, I’m a vampire who loves the night. I also love necks
41. How many blankets on your bed? One and only. It’s too hot to wear even a thin blanket but it gets cold around 3 am so I have to be prepared.
42. Describe your kitchen plates. I like the design of Portmeirion table set from the early 2000s.
43. Describe your kitchen at the moment. It’s not photography material, but it’s not dirty or messy or anything.
44. Do you have a favourite alcoholic drink? I don’t drink.
45. Do you play cards? No. I don’t play anything that requires other people to join me (yes, I am a lone ranger).
46. What colour is your car? The Nissan partner and distributor in my country calls it Dark Metal Grey. It does look nice.
47. Can you change a tire? I can, but I wouldn’t. With free towing service, why should I bother?
48. Your favourite state or province? I was practically born and raised here so I cannot pick a favourite.
49. Favourite job you’ve had? I would say my previous job, because our team had a fantastic working relationship, and everyone was crazy enough to entertain my antics as the maknae.

She was tired of seeing Black stereotypes on TV. So she started her own streaming service “I didn’t see my father, my brothers, my husband represented,” Spencer told CNN Business. “The media was really inundated with these false stereotypes.” And so began Spencer’s hunt for a service with relatable Black content. After all, she assumed, there had to be one. For Spencer, it was also personal. At the time, she had just finished her first documentary, “Mom Interrupted,” which chronicled the loss of children from gun violence through the lens of seven mothers in the Washington DC area. It played at the Alexandria Film Festival. She was the only Black person there, she said. “I really started to see the disparity for people of color — and especially women of color — when it came to getting distribution,” Spencer said. “And so when I couldn’t find what I was looking for, a light bulb went off. I’ll start a streaming service.” Launching a streaming service in an already crowded market is difficult enough. What Spencer didn’t know at the time was just how hard it is for Black women to secure funding from venture capital firms — a struggle that highlights the gap marginalized founders face when it comes to access. “It’s not about just the water hoses” In 2015, Spencer launched kweliTV, a carefully curated collection of more than 450 streaming options that are, as the company puts it, “a true reflection of the global Black experience versus what we may sometimes see in mainstream media.” Almost a year after George Floyd’s death sparked global protests and reignited conversations about systemic racism, kweliTV’s mission -— kweli meaning “truth” in Swahili — is finding itself in an increasingly prominent position to fill a void that some dominant streaming companies have been criticized for ignoring. “White people need to be educated,” Spencer said, noting that mainstream platforms might stream “The Help” and “Green Book” among other films about Black experiences, but have been criticized for being cliché. “[Black people] already know that history, and we don’t necessarily need to see it over and over again.” Documentaries like “Negroes With Guns: Rob Williams and Black Power,” which streams on kweliTV, is just one example that illustrates how the platform better represents the Black diaspora’s experience, according to Spencer. The documentary profiles Rob Williams, a Black freedom fighter, who advocated for the Second Amendment as a means for Black people to defend themselves against violent, White mobs in the Jim Crow South. “This was a figure I had never heard of before,” Spencer said. “Again, this is about racism, but it’s really about fighting back. It’s not about just the water hoses.” The biggest challenge: funding While kweliTV continues to make progress, it still has a long way to go relative to its competition. Netflix reported it will spend more than $17 billion on original content in 2021 alone. In comparison, kweliTV has no original content to date. In its little under six years of existence, the company has relied on its own revenue, a handful of grants, two convertible notes, and a PPP loan that was used for payroll, according to Spencer. The lack of funding is not on account of a lack of effort. Spencer said she learned quickly how hard it is for Black women to secure funding. And the numbers corroborate those struggles. Black women-founded companies raised $700 million between 2018 and 2019. While that’s a significant increase from years prior, it’s still just 0.27% of the total VC investments during that time, according to research from digitalundivided, a nonprofit that promotes Black and Latinx women entrepreneurs. “It’s ridiculous that Black women don’t even get half of one percent,” Spencer said in response to that study. The problem with VC funding stems largely from a lack of diversity, according to Ivan Alo and LaDante McMillon, who founded New Age Capital, a seed stage VC firm focused on tech startups founded by Black and Latinx entrepreneurs. “The venture capital industry — it has invested a certain type of way for a very long time, and they’ve been making billions and billions of dollars,” McMillon told CNN Business. “So they have no incentive to actually start looking at any new demographics.” The lack of diversity within the VC industry itself also perpetuates that, according to McMillon. “What starts to happen is a trickle down effect of no money actually going to a Black woman founder or Latina founder or a Black man or a Latino.” The killing of George Floyd and global pressure from the Black Lives Matter movement challenged the VC industry, among others, by exposing the racial biases the Black community faces. Both McMillon and Alo noted that there’s still a lot of work to be done. “I think there was a lot of diversity theater last year, a lot of people virtue signaling,” McMillon said. “Do I believe that it substantially changed the tide? Probably not. But I do think it’s opened up just the aperture a bit about what could potentially be coming from these communities.” Despite vows to diversify portfolios, Spencer said funding still remains her toughest challenge. She did receive money from Voqal, a coalition of nonprofits based in Boulder, Colorado, where she participated in a fellowship program in 2017. “Systemic problems take systemic solutions,” Mary Coleman, Community Program Leader at Voqal, told CNN Business. “We really saw her on the forefront of leading this work and it’s come to fruition,” Coleman said. “Not only with the stories that are being told, but also the way that revenue is being generated and distributed.” More than just a streaming service While powerhouses like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ can afford to create and buy content, kweliTV’s lack of funding has forced it to take a different approach. Every quarter, kweliTV pays out 60% of its revenue to filmmakers on its platform. Each filmmaker’s pay is relative to their film’s performance. “We promote them all the same, and that is very different from a lot of the other platforms,” Spencer said. “When I found out about all the difficulties, I had to make a decision. Do I say, ‘OK, I guess this is what it is: streaming services are too hard. You need a lot of money to do it, and maybe I just need to find another dream.’ Or do I figure out how do I make my dream reality whether anyone writes me a check, and I decided to focus on how to make this happen.” Spencer said. “That’s where the 60% revenue share came in.” When people hear “streaming service” and “Black content” together, there are obvious parallels to the giants of the industry. Indeed, some have called kweliTV the “Black Netflix,” but Spencer disagrees with that comparison. The byproduct of its revenue sharing strategy doesn’t just lower the bar for entry, it also fosters a community that Spencer hopes makes kweliTV much more than just a streaming service. “About 90% of our filmmakers I have spoken to personally,” Spencer said. “It’s not a transactional type of thing where we have your film and that’s it. We want people to be a part of this ecosystem.” Ranking among giants Spencer’s patient demeanor and calm voice mask her underlying fiery work ethic. The founder is aided by a few part-time employees. As for full-timers, she’s been the only one for years, “I work 16, 18 hour days,” she said. Fortunately for Spencer, a recent $100,000 investment will allow the company to hire an additional full-time employee to help out. Those long days appear to be paying off for the company. Spencer says the company’s registered users jumped to around 43,000 as of May 2021, which includes non-paying users who stream the free, ad-supported kweliTV Live service. That surge marked a 111% growth in users year-over-year. Paying subscribers have the option of paying $5.99 per month or $49.99 annually. Spencer declined to comment on the number of paying subscribers and the company’s revenue. The company has also brought on Lil Rel Howery, a comedian known for his roles in “Get Out,” “Bad Trip,” and “Uncle Drew,” as its head of comedy. “It’s an added bonus to our mission of amplifying authentic, global Black stories and storytellers of African descent,” Spencer said in an email about Howery’s role. And in classic David vs. Goliath fashion, kweliTV now stands among giants. It ranked second behind only Netflix in PC Magazine’s 2021 review of the best streaming platforms for Black content. “To me it shows that there is room for this type of content that we are curating,” Spencer said while reflecting on the company’s ranking. “We have a better pulse on what the Black community is yearning for.” Source link Orbem News #Black #Media #Service #ShewastiredofseeingBlackstereotypesonTV.Soshestartedherownstreamingservice-CNN #Started #Stereotypes #Streaming #tired

my story. **IMPORTANT.
earlier, i had a dream. i remember it so clearly.
after a long day at work, i walk into my bedroom. on my bed were two packages. they were a light yellow color with my name and address on them. i open one of them up, and i see inside are legal documents that state my name change had been acccepted. and on the very bottom was a testosterone needle with a tag that says 'For Maddox.' crying, I opened the other packages. inside, was a bag full of chest binder and male associated clothing...
when i looked into the mirror, i saw someone who was not me...or maybe it was. when i look in the mirror now, i see someone who is sad and lonely. depression and anxiety eat her alive. she has never been truly happy. never. not after her father passed away, anyway. when i look into the mirror, i want to scream and cry and break it with my fists, because i know that the eyes staring back at me are not mine. they are someone elses. someone, maybe someone's who i am meant to be. i see a male. i see high cheekbones, strong facial features, i see facial hair. i see dilated eyes, and i see a broader face. broader shoulders, short hair, more muscles. maybe i won't look so..dead inside. maybe. i often also flex in the mirror, and push my breasts up, almost as if i didn't have them. i wish i didn't.
i have never been ashamed to have hair on my legs, or my armpits, my face even. i thought that it was natural. that i shouldn't be ashamed to have it. mostly because it did not bother me, at all. i had hairy legs, hairy armpits, i'm sure i even have a mustache. and none of it bothered me. until, i was told that i couldn't have that. that i couldn't have natural body hair. that it wasn't 'ladylike.'personally, i didn't really care at first. until, i started to. i started to shave my legs, knicking them every chance i got. shaving my armpits and getting rashes from doing it wrong. i even started to shave my face..bad idea to say the least.
who knew clothes were gender specific? because i sure didn't. up until my 5th grade year, i always wore a simple teeshirt and some knee length shorts. i always wore the ugly sketcher shoes, my hair was always pulled back in a ponytail. i would always run off and play with the boys for a while, before they told me i couldn't anymore. still, to this day, i get along better with guys. i don't know why. most of my friends are guys, and i have no problem with that. for prom, (i am currently a sophomore in high school), i told my mother i wanted to wear a tux to the dance. and she looks at me with a disapproving look, and says, 'you are not wearing a tux to prom.' i look at her, hurt, but i tried to keep my best composure. she looked directly at me and said,'because you are not a boy.' and i remember my heart sinking down to the pit in my stomach. it felt like she had crushed it. she then began to say how that i was going to wear a dress, and nothing else. needless to say i was not happy. now, my attire is mainly jeans (skinny), 'girl' shirts, gray vans, and my hair is always done in some random way. *I HATE MY HAIR. side note: my hair is naturally curly.
currently, my name is kenlee. i am sixteen years old, and i am a sophomore in high school. i am classified as a nerd, a geek,and a stiff, because i do not drink, drive, have my own car, and i can hardly leave my house at some points. i suffer from bipolar disorder, social anxiety, depression, ADHD, and many other medical phenomenons. i am allergic to sulfa drugs, which is short for 'Sulfonmides.' as a child, i became extremely ill, and it was my fathers responsibility to give me my medication. safe to say, he thought i was getting better so he stopped providing them for me. but, within a few weeks, i became sick again, so he gave them to me again. but, instead, i had an allergic reaction. nice one dad. anyway, moving on. my home life has not been the best, won't go into much detail, but i will say..losing a parent (or any family member) can really have a toll on your life. dramatically.
i lost my father when i was thirteen years of age. ill never forget the night that i found out my dad had died, july 9th, 2014. he was 45 years old when he died. i do not know the truth of the story, other than he did not have a car, so he was walking while almost intoxicated and he was struck by a semi on a highway. supposedly the cab driver was a new driver, and he said that he would never step foot in another semi, again. i don't blame him. and i do not blame him for what happened. shit happens. wrong place, and at the wrong times for the both of them. although, i do miss my dad very much. he was my best friend, still is. i wish i would have gotten to say goodbye.
a couple days prior to that, i saw him july 6th, he went to a thrift store and for this white fedora hat, with a black band around the rim. he said he loved it. my father let me wear it, and he said it fit me well. i looked nice in it. i smiled. at the funeral, that is what i got to keep; my sister got his leather jacket, my brothers something else personal of his. i regret not speaking at his funeral. i wish i had.
anyway. my dad never liked boys. ever. even his own sons, and step sons. no one knew why he didn't, he just prefered girls. one night, he pushed my brother off the porch because he found on of his porn magazines. my sister saw it, and he helped her inside. he has always hated boys. even when they grew up. if you asked him, he never spoke about his sons. but he always focused on me, and my sister. i didn't understand it, neither did anyone else, really. my mother is always fixated on me being her 'little girl' and it just makes me feel so..unhappy. i've never confirmed, nor denied, the pronouns she/her. it always just seemed so natural and easy to just accept them. i didn't correct anyone, and i didn't make myself out to be noticed. but, even till this day, i still don't associate with she/her pronouns. it bothers me, and maybe it shouldn't? i don't know, really. if someone were to mis-gender me and call me a he/boy, i honestly would be the happiest person in the world.
today is march 20th, 2017. today is a new day. as charlie kelmeckis has said, 'i'm both happy and sad all at the same time, and i am still trying to figure out how that could be.' well, it is true. i have my good days where i just want to hug everyone in sight,and my bad days where i want to stop breathing, and scream. i have my off days. i have days where i feel more sensitive, some days where i feel so masculine. (those days are paradise, lemme tell ya.) i have mood swings, and i have grumpy days. i have flaws, and that's okay. i live in a world now, where gender identity and sexual orientation are NOT the same thing. sexual orientation is a inheret or immutable emotion (romantic, sexual, physical, etc.) to other people. gender identity is ones self concept, whether you are female, male, or somewhere in between. it is how we preceive and apprehend ourselves, and what we call ourselves. one's gender identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth.
i live in a world where the LGBT+ community is finally being able to expand, and is being accepted more. granted, there are some negative things too. but that's with mostly anything. people are finally understanding the expression 'Love Is Love; nothing less, nothing more.' people are more accepting and open minded, and honestly, it is so encouraging. there are still close minded people in the world, yes. but the majority is so loving and accepting and it truly is a safe place to be. a safe environment. just like my tumblr page is. it is a safe place for self expression and acceptance. it is a safe place to vent. to be loved, and to recieve love.
i love you all with every ounce of my being. every part of my person. you A R E important, and your feelings are NOT unnoticed and unaccounted for. you are noticed. you are loved. you are accepted. i love you, and i truly do believe in you. this is going to be a wild ride, and a wild life. but i hope to spend every moment enjoying it. mistakes and flaws, and all. i want to make mistakes, and learn from them. i want to finally be happy and move on with my life. not be ashamed for who i am. for who i will be in the nearby future. i want to make this life mine. if i ever come out to my mother as transgender, i do not know. i'm still trying to figure it out myself. and if i am, i truly hope maddox is happy who he is.
love with all my heart, kenlee. aka maddox. (@writeonmejames) ps. i apologize for the lengthiness. pps. you're cute. ppps. i love you a lot. 🌈

One of the lost arts of CD collecting was the resale. You would purchase an album, listen to it, and then, depending on taste, keep it in your collection or resell it for money or trade. It was a viable way of expanding your musical vocabulary in the days before YouTube and Google. 
Electronic and industrial music surged in the alt-rock scene in the mid to late 90s. Filter’s “Hey Man, Nice Shot,” held the airwaves hostage. Marilyn Manson growled about “The Beautiful People.” The Spawn soundtrack milked two genres by teaming up Nu-Metal with notable electronic producers. Fatboy Slim was everywhere you turned. And The Prodigy? The Prodigy carved out a nice piece of musical property with “Breathe,” “Firestarter,” and the highly controversial, “Smack My Bitch Up.” 
I became swept up in the craze, though I only dabbled at the edges - no KMFDM for me, and eventually, I landed upon a used copy of “The Fat of the Land” at Everyday Music in Portland, OR. 
As time went on, I found my musical tastes shifting toward palm-muted power chords and emotionally vulnerable lyricists rather than hard-hitting drum loops and synth swells. “The Fat of the Land” made way for Alkaline Trio, The Get Up Kids, A New Found Glory, and Dashboard Confessional. Other albums that fell victim to my aural shifting included Marilyn Manson’s “Mechanical Animals,” the aforementioned Spawn soundtrack, and the CD single of The Chemical Brother’s “Block Rockin’ Beats.” I didn’t own a laptop or an external hard drive so there was no archiving of music previously owned. When an album was resold or traded, it was gone.
That is, until last month, when I found a copy of “The Fat of the Land,” in a $1 bin at Norman’s Sound and Vision in Williamsburg. 
The humor of it all is that, now that I have repurchased the physical album and uploaded it onto a computer to put on both an external hard drive and my google play account, I have no intention of getting rid of it. 
Part of this is due to the fact that I’m an adult with more disposable income, part of it has to do with the stubbornness of collecting, but the largest piece of it an understanding of musical tastes and how they change and adapt over time. This is not the first album I bought, sold, and repurchased. Other albums include No Doubt’s “Tragic Kingdom,” Blur’s “Blur,” and Rancid’s “...and out come the wolves.” I, to this day, miss “Mechanical Animals,” Molotov’s “¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas?” and that Tom Racer album. 
As a teenager, genres of music helped define my personality. As an adult, the love of music defines my personality. 
So the next time “Antichrist Superstar” shows up in a bargain bin, I’ll throw down a couple of bucks. And it’ll never be resold.

Win ppl hate u for no reason it can hurt ur feelings. One time last week Snowee wanted me to get a room for her Bitch and my bitch and win I got to the room the guy told me they doing renovations so they had no rooms available. But it looked like they still had rooms available but that the guy was hating on me for sum reason. So I ordered the room online and it said they had rooms available and I booked the room but win I went back to the hotel the guy told me it was a mistake that I must cancel my booking that they had no rooms available to me. And me and Snowee and her Bitch and my bitch couldn’t get a room that evening and it felt like descrimination u feel me. Certain ppl only look at us with they eyes so they do not see the divine inside. Sum ppl just look at us based on cultures and based on cultures either see us as outsider or their brother. To me we are all brothers we come from same source no matter the color no matter the culture we bleed red blood and breathe invisible air. Hate is a result of blindness and confusion and delusion and not seeing reality clearly. Win ppl hate u because of the humon u are in they are blinded they don’t see themselves or u in true essence. The other day I met a Jewish guy I didn’t know he was Jewish till he told me but it made no difference to me and he told me about how Sumtimes Jewish ppl hide who they are because Sumtimes ppl hate them. He said he had an uncle who might of been a rabbi or sumthin but who doesn’t wear his yamacha or hat because Jewish ppp often times get backlash . He said win ppl get drunk the jokes come out or they true colors show in terms of how they feel about Jews. I found it all to be interesting because Jewish ppl get descrimination but have the option of not getting descriminated against if they don’t reveal their culture if they don’t tell ppl they suffer no descrimination really but the black man doesn’t have that luxuary they wear what creates their descrimination they can’t really not reveal it to avoid bad situations or I’ll favor from fellow men. If the blind are leading the blind the will not find the way. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfrjNzAaV6cs57_geKlJUX6eg9-LPvG5o2JL40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jwbke0t3yjm0
