sometimes i wonder if i isolate myself here in the fediverse by being real and unfiltered about the black experience

probably. but, that's fine. if people don't want to know they can block me

the number of times i get "i can't believe this" in response to me in general is kinda amusing. it's like. "how could i make you believe?"

you know, you can't really be an ally without putting in the work to not immediately doubt the words of others experiences. the world is.. a different place for some.

humans can be tricky to deal with

i'm more comfortable with birds

i wish i wasn't shy

it's particularly awkward to be noisy and shy.

crows have teeth, secret teeth

chel sometimes reads spam emails out loud as a form of abstract torture.

it's def working.

watching chel play through the resident evil 2 remake demo was kinda fun

she was screaming, shaking and flailing her firearm all over the place in the game, yet somehow managing to not do too poorly.

it was kinda how i'd imagined things would go irl.

y'all a lot of hollywood horror is actually derivative of non-USA films.

also, i wince every time i'm talking to american horror enthusiasts and they think that Ringu was made based on The Ring. No, really y'all - the japanese film came first. lol. this happened to me today, and i couldn't even convince them.

tbh, this happens to me a lot. generally, people think hollywood is a lot more original than it actually is.

calling all fediverse creatures! looking for raw, unfiltered opinions on Seattle vs Portland.

dm me if you don't want to post publicly.

honest question. why do white women feel the need to write about and talk about non-white experiences?

having a friend that is non-white is damn well not the same as being non-white.

there's a particular type of hubris that i've found in white women. they use elevated social position to speak for me and others like me that never asked or wanted them to do so.

psa - if you do this kind of thing, pls stop. if you see someone else doing it, suggest that they stop.
