This blog did not and will not send requests for bitcoin donations.

There seems to be a virus or some sort of malware going around causing blogs to “send out” chat messages to blogs that they follow asking for help with the purchase of certain items through donations of seemingly small amounts using bitcoin and adds a link to the message.

The message goes as following (at least the first message I got went like this): “Hi there buddy. I need help, I’m trying to buy a laptop and I can’t afford it. I’m about 0.36$ short, and I’d really appreciate if you could help me and transfer some money to me via bitcoin using this *link*.”

The small details in the message seems to have a few variations with the greeting, amount and purchased item showing up in different variations from formal to friendly, from 0.016 to 2$ and from a phone case to a laptop among others.

The blogs that are affected send out the messages to blogs that they follow for a long time mostly, so you are most likely to receive the message from a long time, active follower whose name you might recognize or a mutual etc. The blogs that are affected are not spam bots but actual active followers who follow the recipient for months or years and most likely the blogger who “sent” the message is unaware of the message being sent.

DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.

Opening up the link will cause the virus to spread even more and infect your computer/mobile with any sort of malware.

If you have received a message of that sort from this blog please know that it was not sent by me or within my control and ignore/delete the message without clicking the link.

#BeingBlackandMuslim Portrait Series by Bobby Rogers

Visual artist and photographer Bobby Rogers’ latest portrait series #BeingBlackandMuslim taps on members of the Black Muslim community to share their harrowing experiences with, well, simply being who they are. 

The eyeopening series exposes stereotypes and stigmas plaguing the community; further proving we all have more work to do when it comes to bringing awareness to squash these century-old, derogatory ways of thinking.

this isnt terribly new info but i wanna mention it anyway! ivanka trump’s clothing line was having trouble selling bc of the family’s huge drop in popularity, so they secretly renamed the brand Adrienne Vittadini

if you dont wanna support the trump family/ivanka, keep an eye on what ur buyin fam :)

[ororomunroedontpullout]

They as in Ivanka didn’t rename but the store Stein Mart put Adrienne Vittadini(which is it’s on label) on Ivanka’s clothes to sell better. The store apologized for mislabeling but they apparently do it when clothes don’t sell.

Nakeya Brown’s Hair Stories

I like to think of my work as inclusive to all Black hair styles/types – kinky, straight, synthetic, human, weaves, wigs, and tracks, because we as collective wear all. It’s in our beauty shops, hair salons, and bathroom cabinets. It’s a part of our history. It’s a part of contemporary culture. It’s a part of our conversations. It’s a part of our daily lives. 

I’ve been told many times “your hair is your face”, so it’s something that we must tend to, and care for. It’s something that we must treat with sensitivity when describing, but should not allow it to incite insecurities. In my eyes, it’s the single most visible and powerful feature on the black female form and I enjoy creating work about it because it is so dynamic. I make photos that display the illusory beliefs of beauty in a visually stimulating way. I want them to be a catalyst for discussion about us and our experiences. — @NakeyaBrown

Fuck Shea….“I am a red head but I dye my hair blond, boo hoo people tease me and my life is so hard” BITCHHHHH, tell me when you red hair has kept you for getting a job?! Or was called “dirty” or “unruly” for being natural. Fuck Shea and those models, cause they read that script and still went forward with that commercial.

[xmybrightx]

The really said fuck you to all the black girls who made them what they are. Like anyone that knows anything knows that black and bi-racial girls were the only ones buying Shea moisture products and raving about it. And they go ahead and do this???

[pharaohoftheghetto]

I think a while ago white people bought out Shea so now the new owners just said fuck the origins of this company and fuck our target market because they probably want to “expand” markets and appeal to white women to make more money

[thebigblackwolfe]

Shea Moisture was not bought out by a white company and y'all need to stop spreading that lie.

They do have outside investors who have a minority, non control stake in the company but Richelieu Dennis is still the CEO, the company has not changed hands, and any changes being made are because those same Black owners have decided they needed to be made.

Which is honestly sadder than any white interference.

[covenesque]

The wild thing is, this ad won't work bc white women spend a cool 10 bucks max on hair products and aren't buying 20 dollar jars of heavy conditioner.

They trying to appeal to suave, head and shoulders type women and they will ultimately fail

Mediocre children from rich families earn more than talented poor children

Lower-achieving pupils from rich families earn more than talented poorer children, the Education Secretary has admitted. Justine Greening was speaking at a conference on social mobility, which she described as a “cold, hard, economic imperative” for the country. Ms Greening drew on her experience growing up in Rotherham as she outlined the challenges faced by poorer families.

Toronto Police: “If Police can’t have floats in Pride, we’ll ask the city to defund the Pride Parade.”

[covenesque]

Why these people acting like a police uniform is something you born with.

If the uniform is on they're on the clock ie working. It's not a costume you draw on for fun or to show off. Do these nerds wear work clothes for fun or specifically when they're at work? Cops can still come to the parade as civilians and out of the uniform and still celebrate pride, which they did every year

What infuriates me is that these people are willing to hold funding for queer and trans youth esp black and brown queer and trans youth hostage just to dick wave and "get one over" on the mean black people and insert themselves in a space they still actively terrorize and refuse to work with.

Canadian myopic pettiness and passive aggressiveness combined with white supremacy is the absolute worst.

Meanwhile councillors are arguing over this pittance of funding while Toronto roads fall into disrepair and affordable housing costs skyrocket. Cops are arguing over this funding while this city falls into ruin while they sit comfortably with a billion dollar police budget for a city with barely any crime compared to us cities of our size and density. Most if not all of these cops do not even live in Toronto proper and commute here from outside. So how can they even claim inclusion with a community when they don't live here

I am willing to bet these council are coming for caribana next. Watch

My ireland native father once told me that the first time he ever saw people use water for hot chocolate was when he came to america, and said that it was then that he “knew this country was doomed”

[mettic]

ive made a lot of posts that i honestly hate once they started making notes but this one has absolutely taken the cake of “man i really wish i didn’t make this post” because you dont realize how dumb people get when you start food discourse.

however it was definitely a learning experience. for example here’s some things I learned:

-many people who make hot chocolate with water saw this post and somehow thought that my dad literally thinks they’re the doom of modern america and that this out of text quote from a man they never met was personally directed at them.

-Some people literally had never even had the thought of using milk for hot chocolate. literally flabbergasted. ive had people reply, send asks and even DM in multiple variations of “if it not water than what the else?”. Had one dude actually thank me for introducing the concept of milk for hot chocolate. wild.

-There are just some fucking geniuses on this site. So many inanely smart people hitting me up with things like “ummm OP have you ever heard of… lactose intolerance????” and “maybe some people… can’t afford milk?” I never possibly thought of any of that. man i hope yall felt super smart after that. shame yall couldn’t spend some of that riveting world knowledge on googling “lactose intolerant milk alternatives.” the world will never discover what almond milk is.

-some shit about the difference between hot chocolate and hot cocoa holy god i cannot care

-fungi fucker is something you can call people.

-apparently i should just do whatever the fuck the aztecs/mayans did. obviously the optimal thing to do in the year 2017 is to emulate empires that fell in the 16-17th century. as you can guess the aztecs/mayans used water for their chocolate beverages. some people also liked to remind me cows and therefore milk were basically unavailable in their part of the world during these time peroids, thus forcing them to use water for their chocolate beverages and despite them knowing this they still use water for their hot chocolate. These people are very smart.

-it is acceptable human behavior to send anonymous messages to people telling their dad to “simmer down” over chocolate based beverages.
