A white: but saying Asians are naturally smart is POSITIVE discrimination:)))
Me: The model minority myth was invented by whites as a tool of antiblackness to create divisions between communities of color and prove that ‘anyone can succeed in America if they just TRY hard enough!!1!’ thereby implying that antiblackness is black ppl’s own fault for not TRYING enough. Additionally, it relies on false interpretations of data and hurts the opportunities of all Asians, particularly less privileged ones, and dehumanizes Asians by furthering stereotypes of us as some kind of innately robot-like monolithic-minded hive, devalues our individual accomplishments and uses us as a tool to further antiblackness
In addition, positive discrimination is still discrimination
And there’s nothing positive about discrimination

yall are amazing
I just finished babysitting my friend’s children, and she has most definitely mastered the no spanking/alternative discipline route. I always talk about taking it because I don’t believe in abusing children, but I’ve never personally seen it in action by a Black parent. Her children are 2 and 5 and they are the kindest, nicest toddlers I’ve ever met. They listen to her because she’s their mom and they automatically recognize she’s important and she gives them what they want (love and affection and rewards). In return they like to clean for her and give her artwork and cuddles all of the time.
To get them to listen to her, she makes sure to listen to them and what they’ve got to say instead of telling them to shut up all the time. The 5 year old asked her a few months ago why you can’t eat food that was on the floor after picking up food on the floor, and she explained it calmly and clearly. He asked 4 other questions after that and she answered all of them. He was satisfied and happy with the answers, and ever since he hasn’t done those things. She lets them gush and gush about Hot Wheels or Team Umizoomi and engages with them and counts with them and everything, so they never feel alone or neglected enough to not want to obey.
My friend lets them make mistakes by themselves on the rare chance they don’t listen so they can learn from them and let that be punishment enough. For example, the younger one we’ve been telling not to go near the dog cage because he doesn’t like dogs. He went near it a while ago, got his hand licked, freaked out, and hasn’t been anywhere near it since. The board on the wall that she uses has a column for each boy horizontally, and vertically are all the traits she wants them to have, like being nice, listening to her and their teachers, eating their food, cleaning up, having manners, etc. They get a sticker whenever they do it for the day, and they lose all their stickers when they break a habit. That’s enough punishment for them, so they don’t break it.
When they wake up, it’s cleanup time, or bedtime, she plays what she calls “musical habits”. She puts on a playlist of their favorite songs (it’s like 20-25 minutes) that make them feel motivated, and they should be finished getting ready or cleaning by the time the last song is over. If they’re not, they get a toy from their toy bin taken away or an Oreo from their snack bag taken out (aka eaten by her). But she hasn’t ever gotten to that because they always finish. They don’t even like hearing the consequences lol. And I just wanted to say I really enjoyed seeing good parenting by a Black woman that wasn’t abusive or harmful to the child’s development, it gave me inspiration and hope. Just had to talk about it somewhere.
THIS IS GOOD WHOLESOME PARENTING
This gives me hope. I’m gonna try to emulate this if I have kids
> Main gif tutorial In this tutorial you are explained from A to Z how to make a gif. While this tutorial does not go into the steps in a detailed manner, per section it will have links available which can be used to find a more detailed tutorial I wrote on it.
> Setting up Photoshop Are you new to Photoshop or have you never put too much thought into setting it up just for gifmaking? Do you want to improve the performance of the software so that everything works faster and smoother? This is the tutorial for you! We explore the general preferences for Photoshop that suit gifmaking most and look how we can easily set up our interface.
> Converting video files Before you can import something to Photoshop, you need to make it a short MP4 file. In this tutorial we talk about how to use converting software and efficiently import files into Photoshop.
> Colouring pastels This tutorial is an exploration of colour theory with a focus on how to properly execute pastels. It goes into how certain colours will or will not work for certain scenes and how to generally edit a colour scheme from scratch. While it focuses on pastels, the theory discussed is applicable to everything!
> Sharpening gifs What does sharpening do? How does it work, what settings do you use? How do you get those smooth lines and how far should you go with sharpening? What does everything even mean. Let’s find out!
> Removing panning from gifs You ever find yourself with a scene that would look wonderful if there were no camera movements going from one side to another? In this tutorial I explain exactly how to get rid of it.
> Reducing filesize Tumblr requires gifs to be under 3MB in filesize. Sometimes your gifs will be bigger than that and you’ll have to reduce the file size. In this tutorial I go over several options you have to reduce the filesize without really affecting the quality too much.
> Creating and using actions Actions are recorded steps you take in Photoshop which you can then execute on different files. Especially in gifmaking this can shorten your process by a lot. In this tutorial we look how to make and use actions of our own.
> Save for web explained Gifs aren’t saved the same way other pictures are saved in Photoshop. You need to go through the save for web option. But how exactly does this all work? What is everything you see in save for web and how to do you get optimal saving results?
> Making a gif loop You want a gif that never ends? In this tutorial we look at how to find the looping point of a gif easily and make it so that the gif itself looks like it keeps going forever.
> Making a clean/grainless gif Removing grain is not only aesthetically wonderful, but also reduces the file size of a gif by a lot. In this tutorial we go over how exactly you use Photoshop to ensure that there’s no grain or hardly any grain in your gifs, to get that smooth and clean result.
> Timing a gif How to not make a slideshow and instead make a smoothly animated gif.
Slide this fast and look at the magic

WHoT IN THE NAME OF DARK MAGIC IS THIS OMF
Prince Wu!!! This is so funny…..😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The problem with the idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of recreation as a structure for a day is that it simply can’t work that way. If I’m expected to be at work at 9, then my work day must begin at 7. Allowing myself a rushed experience to wake up and get to work. And I live close to work. So either my recreation or my sleep needs to take a hit, but for some people it could be more. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as a basis for full time work is honestly unreasonable at that point. Because it isn’t actually 40 hours a week, it’s 50 hours a week lost to a job, of which 10 is unpaid.
some of my coworkers have 2h of transit to get to work, which takes 4-5h off their free time. working full time is a bad idea and shouldve never been a thing
This is, it’s worth noting, by design.
It’s perfectly well known that people can only really “work” (in that they can only consistently and effectively perform tasks and create products) 3-6 hours a day, for 1 hour to 2 hours at a time. Generally speaking, the broad consensus among actual researchers is to aim for about 4 hours a day.
The rest of these work hours, and the associated sunken time necessary to get to and from these work hours, serves one purpose:
It exhausts people.
People who don’t have leisure time are stressed. People who are stressed need conveniences. People who need conveniences will pay for them.
People who are stressed also don’t have the energy to fight for their rights, having expended all that energy in just staying alive.
And let’s not forget that maintaining a clean home and providing food for yourself takes over 20 hours a week (appx 20 hours in-house, and varying hours spent running outside errands) if you are completely abled.
Honor these 25 black women who died in police custody.

Ten reasons to ADORE Haikyuus’s GIANT ASS PILE OF MOCHI better known as KAGEYAMA TOBIO
I wrote this as motivation for those of you who don’t know what to watch next, and to relate to those of you that have already watched. Regardless of who you are, welcome to my first ever fangirl rant. I hope you enjoy.
1. He’s emits a cool yet grumpy kind of aura, like most stereotypical bitchy anime guys *cough cough* sasuke, but you know what makes him different? Sure he knows how to be angry and cocky, but did you expect him to know how to blush, cry, and fanboy too? To put it simply, he’s an intense guy, with intense emotions, and him being soft, is fucking everything.
2. He’s mature yet immature cause he picks fights with the protagonist all the time, but then again he is the only one on his team that couldn’t give a shit about their “sexy” manager (other than tsukishima). Not to be hateful, I just don’t see the big deal. But ya know, anime logic.
3. He’s a genius that knows nearly everything when it comes to volleyball, and yet he has failing grades in his classes and gets giddy over his senpais, or himself and hinata, pulling off intricate plays/techniques (this is one of the many scenarios in which he blushes).
4. He’s lazy af when he’s not playing or practicing volleyball and you know it because he’s always napping in vehicles and in class (probably why he has failing grades).
5. The only thing he loves as much as volleyball is food, and the excitement he gets when he’s about to eat along with the faces he makes while he’s eating as well as the fuckin way in which he eats is one of the cutest things in existence.
6. He acts super intense on the court, so when he gets intimidated it’s cute as fuck and it usually takes place in the form of mumbling, brow quivering, or unresponsiveness.
7. When he is being intense it’s not nearly as adorable, it’s just hot. And no matter what the reason may be for him pulling his “I’m gonna beat you up face”, or for staring at you like a horrific doll, or for flashing a devious little koro sensei smile at you, I think we can all infer from this (or from three seasons worth of kaegeyama fluff in others’ cases) that it’s the cherry on top, and a juicy one at that.
8. He’s super awkward when it comes to aspects of socializing which is why he’s not “popular” at all. It’s so cute how lonely he is off court. He can’t give compliments, he can’t properly respond to them no matter who they’re from, and he can’t give a heart felt smile to anyone without looking creepy.
9. Regardless of the fact that he’s a nonsocial athlete it’s likely that he cares the most about his appearance amongst all of them. I mean, he’s the only one that files his nails before practice and unlike everyone else, he has more than four outfits. Now wouldn’t you just love a fashionable kageyama? I know I would.
10. He had the best and most prominent character development. He went from a cocky dictator to the striving setter that trusts his teammates and works to better himself. He can finally look at his teammates as people he counts on and wants to make proud, not just useless pawns who reside in his court space. To put it simply, he has a family now, and he’s one of 13, more like 12 if you ask me but, I don’t think I need to be naming names.
I made it to 24! The winds keep blowing. I am so grateful to have brought in the day of my birth with you all and my family this Saturday. Yesterday was truly a gift from you all! It was an amazing day trip to Philly y’all! Thank you. I got to help a few people get to a concert. I geeked out at @amalgamphilly the amazing Black Woman-Owned Amalgam Comics & Coffee House! The staff there know so much! So kind! So many comics! Such cool & friendly other customers! There space is safe! I have been waiting months to try to get here! I will Be back!I saw and united friends I hadn’t seen in weeks, months, and years who all began new friendships with each other. I am accepting myself more & more and my vision moves. I treasure being born in the Year of the Dog. I can’t tell you how many times I just wanted to fade away. Back in the Fall of 2013 I was a few steps close to out a window but I made one call to one of my friends far away. If I never called you that evening bro, I wouldn’t have been able to blow out this candle with you and my several best friends I had made over the years. Hontou ni Arigatou Gozaimasu (I really mean thank you so much) there are words in the tongues of fellow humxyn/ human beings that speak to the heart more than the mind from the spirit. ELIKIA = HOPE in the Lingala language in the Congo/ Kikongo people and region in Afrika where at least one of ancestors is from. I have Elikia and Gratitude in myself to collectively push with humanity intersectionally to liberate ourselves and share this with the world! I am Hopeful and eternally Grateful to my friends, family, and the people I meet along this journey of life for reminding me that the path continues. I am running to it. I am flying to it. I am surfing to it. I am not alone. Much gratitude to you all. Thank you. And you there reading this and those beyond, keep growing and nurturing yourself. You are amazing. You have meaning. May the winds of this year blow in your favor. Will, the clouds, to bring rain in the fields of your dreams. Keep shining and rising. May your hopes abound like dandelions in the wind. I wish you harmony in this plane and with those you meet. You are freaking awesome!😄 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

yall realize that kylie jenner literally played a huge role in modernizing blackface, yes? cause of her bum ass, ppl really be overlining/plumping their lips, wearing foundation that’s far too dark, modifying their bodies and wearing clothes to resemble ‘fit’ black girls…and the worst part is that yall are convinced that it’s just a specific aesthetic rather than an attempt to imitate blackness on a level i’ve only previously seen from minstrel shows
the kardashian klan are also among the first major celebrities i’ve seen to be blatant about their fetishization of black men and culture while being virulently antiblack. and again, yall really seem to think that’s okay. the fact that the kardashians continue to be outrageously popular, that they continue to find their way into my social media feeds, that yall non-blacks insist on laughing about them and going as far as to stan them, shows yall dont give a shit about black people.
i don’t care what looks they ‘serve’, how much money they make, i don’t care if kim made a funny tweet or some shit. the kardashians are too fucking anti-black for yall to be playing around like this lmao.
They all vultures and racists who have made their money off mocking and mimicking Black women and fucking Black men who know better but refuse to do better because of the allure of whiteness and maybe being more to those women than human dildos and access to Black culture( y’all niggas responsible for this shit too) they’re all disgusting and antiBlack and everything catches up but in the meantime keep calling these women out for exactly who they are racial fetishists and culture Vultures of Blackness mainly Black WOMEN
