The Cornell victim has been doxxed on X. So worried for her. I hate this planet.

Oh I forgot to mention here: I watched Forgotten Island on Friday and it was SO good. Highly recommend watching it not only cz it's amazing representation but also cz it's genuinely a wonderful movie. Story is A+, humor was 11/10, and the animation was beautiful and refreshing.

Hey so do we understand now what I mean about AI being about enforcing a form of slavery ? And a “black box” to justify-it Or do you need a PHD / white person to explain it And that Gen AI is very much about trying to get aesthetics away from certain people to justify their segregation

On Friday I wore this cute outfit to a friend date at Morgan Library’s tarot exhibition. I took many photos of my favorite tarot card, the fool, but this cunty one was my favorite.

This review I published when I was EIC by Dexter Thomas, was the article that made it clear that Kusama anti-Blackness permeated her work, and even more disturbing, the art market was trying to cover it up in all sorts of ways.

What the Art World Doesn't Want You to Know About Yayoi Kusama

A new publication tries hard to reinvent Kusama as a champion of racial equity despite her troubling record of anti-Black statements.

The largest and oldest Black studies departments in the country have been closed, but a bunch of people decided the eugenics guy was the crucible for academic freedom.

My corn snake Posey suddenly passed on August 11th and I received his ashes back yesterday. Rest well my goofy pink charmer. The sweetest Virgo boi I was blessed to know. I’m so deeply heartbroken that our time was suddenly cut short but I was blessed to have had your company.

Me screaming this at anime bros from the top of my lungs. 💀 I beg ya to drill into your head that the recent “out of left field” shounen writing that is impossible to follow and can’t stick to a storyline start to finish even if it’s life depended on it is indeed NOT peak. It’s bad!!

It’s so incredibly difficult to pick a favorite because Haikyuu!! has countless unforgettable arcs, but in all of shounen Tsukki’s character arc is easily one of my favorites (and most beautifully written). IYKYK and if you don’t, go read and find out! Especially if you need some hope-core. 😭

I haven’t read a GN in over a year. Honestly, even trying to pick one up for fun is still very triggering. Which is such a complicated feeling to have while I’m actively trying (and struggling to) promote my GN memoir…🫠

Anytime I spend more than ten consecutive minutes on this app I find something to get annoyed about and that’s why I’m practicing never being on here for more than a few minutes.

For absolutely no reason at all, I'm reminding you that Andromeda was Ethiopian. Her pappy, Cepheus? Ethiopian. Her mammy, Cassiope? Ethiopian. So, she wasn't even mixed ethnicity.

‘Odyssey’ comes from the name Odysseus. The first known use of ‘odyssey’ as a generic term for “journey” was in Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Kidnapped” in 1886.
