#Lanterns... This was the whole episode for me:

Given, I went to the theatre on a first-run and saw kids my age, and -not for the 1st time via VHS... It was Gen X kids. It's akin to me trying to claim TCM as GenX culture. Sure, I watched bcse the medium was accessible, but it was Boomer/Silent Gen culture, I was consuming.

I want some of the belly to settle more in the hips and booty, next time.

...And we haven't gotten back the nuance. Hence, the "enthused" activists for Palestine ending up hindering the thing they were pursuing in order to punish the person who could have helped. -But still loudly, performing it.

Nobody is gonna read this, but this is a small example of one of the things that got us to the Trumpian moment, TBH. There was a period of well-meaning activism that started in the 2000s into the early 2010s, that did this thing of being enthused, but lacking the nuance.

What the fuck does "very ethnic" mean? LOL He's just Black. He's the one leading the warning and explaining the distraction. Paranoia is rudderless. He gave normal actionable tips. Sometimes y'all become the thing you're critiquing by being overzealous with the performative.

Huh? Do you mean created the need for this video? Because this video is doing a service.

Exactly. ...And everything they are doing afterward to normalize it, as well. AI is their way to make adult material w/ children, that's why Republicans keep blocking laws against it. And that's why that Tilly Norwood "first AI star" bullshit looks like an adolescent girl.

Hurt people generalize because sometimes it’s easier to blame an entire group than to deal with the pain caused by specific individuals. Generalizing becomes a defense mechanism…you convince yourself they’re all like that so you never have to be vulnerable enough to find out that they aren’t. But healing requires realizing that the person who hurt you represents themselves…not an entire group of people.

Purple cross emoji. ...Because they are about the punishment of brown folk for crimes so much, they prop up that ancient mode of "justice". Pontius Pilate was likely one of the few white people in the Bible, after all.

Do not tell Black people in America there’s no such thing as privilege. He did not kill him.. The cops did not try to shoot him.. take a look.

Excuse me for being emotional, but this was beautiful. 🥹🥹🥹

If there really is a system of reincarnation... and we get to choose, I REALLY don't want to be anything but another Black woman, raised within Blackness.

They just have all kinds of rapists and rapist enablers with a platform, now.

Lotus seed pods appear to make different facial expressions The round seed holes can line up like eyes and mouths, making the pods look like they’re smiling, frowning or reacting

These types of boymoms, push entitlement and blame everyone but the monster they raised.

I really like the wave effect they were able to achieve in the hairstyles for Black women, back then.

These days? I'm gonna keep driving, and dip into my snack and drink stash while on the highway. Turning off or idling the engine in a drive thru, messes with your mileage and those places are too expensive for what you get.

It'll never be enough, because they can't bring her back. They should start talking these settlements out of the cops' retirement.

...And they'd be "transvestigating" the actress, as well.
