Not to mention the horrific environmental impact that mostly affects areas where many Black and brown residents live (regardless of income level/class status too since I know a lot of y’all to think racisms are usually only done to the working class/ppl with lower incomes)

It is happening. ai is revealing the secret Yakubian shapeshifting tactics only possible when Annunakian frequencies go unclouded in 100% Yakubian environments — 90’s sitcoms for example. Behold. This is the future.

AI can never replicate the experience of an actor and/or comedian’s performance ability given how many years of pure slogging and shit eating it takes to become even just kinda good

gen AI really feeds the "i could do that!" delusions like...give a man a mic and he thinks he's a stand up, give him gen ai and he thinks he's the showrunner of an era-defining sitcom

About to wash my hair with the Cécred (almost forgot the accent mark lol) stuff I got myself last month when my hair was still in Havana twists Can a clarifying shampoo and deep conditioner help me microdose inner peace for 20-25 mins? Watch this space 🙏🏾

slavery is our nation’s original sin. you’re not getting around it
It’s not that I deny that these things happened, it’s just that that they aren’t the single most important defining facts about America and we don’t need to frame every single that ever happens for the rest of eternity in apologetic reflections on them!

At prep school one day volunteering at the local food bank for the occasional school wide volunteer day while struggling at home with mom but with my “rich” dad on weekends whiplash from navigating diff income/class levels was real, but also taught me a lot

I’m not saying don’t give to food banks or orgs, just that they aren’t a panacea for inequality Between yt savior mindsets, food donations people wouldn’t eat themselves, occasional embezzlement, etc some of these orgs suck; not to also the mention red tape to accessing aid

If you try to only give to organizations bc you want the money to “be used how it should” or avoid ppl “wasting” money on things you deem unnecessary, you’re being paternalistic (and controlling) & gotta unlearn some things to disentangle yourself from that judgmental mindset
