Ok that’s actually disgusting, here’s a link to their gofundme

[blackfemmejeanvaljean]

like you can date interracially just as long as you ain’t on that fuck shit. he prioritizes casting Black actors and writing roles for Black actors and isn’t on some colorist bullshit. leave that man alone.

[ororomunroedontpullout]

This is what I meant when I said, all those years ago, that romantic love isn’t the only way to love and support Black women. You don’t have to be in a relationship with a Black Woman to not be terrible to us and there’s plenty of Black men who are in relationships with black women and hate our guts. He’s prioritizing dynamic and creative roles for Black actors in ways others aren’t.

Real life tip/rant: last year, I paid off all of my credit card debt and my credit score JUMPED… I was so happy because I felt like I was making some real strides in my life.

But a few weeks ago, my credit score dropped 30 fucking points.

I was so lost and confused because I don’t owe anybody money and I don’t have a credit card.

Little did I know, that was the problem. If you are not actively building your credit MONTHLY, that shit will dropped.

The second you build any credit history, you need to keep building on it, unless your credit score is 0 (you don’t have to worry about that shit dropping obviously but you should start building credit history, maybe starting with a secured card).

Don’t let this shit happen to you.

[jehovahhthickness]

One more thing, if you’re poor (like I was for the longest).

Find a bank or credit card company that allows you to have a credit line of no more than 50-200 dollars (idk the minimum amount you can have but the least you have, the better)

Because I maxed out my credit card (I was desperate at the time to pay for tuition) and it took me forever to pay it off because I couldn’t afford to pay it.

You’re only supposed to use 10% of your credit line but you need to pay that off every month because these companies will charge you interest when you pay the minimum balance.

[jehovahhthickness]

The way I intend on building my credit score is having one secured card (I’ll get one more eventually when I qualify for it) and using it to pay my monthly Netflix, Hulu and Spotify bill.

Which is only $40 a month for all of them and I intend on paying off that amount every single month.

[jehovahhthickness]

You’re actually supposed to use 30% of your card but make sure you pay it off every month.

10% is way too low but now I know 😇

[vexedsolomon-deactivated2018120]

ANOTHER POINTER: your credit isn’t reported in real time. Companies send your bill to the credit reporting agencies on/around your billing date, so if you have a balance of $50 and pay it before your billing date, they’ll tell the agencies you don’t owe anything; therefore, there’s nothing to pay off. Building credit is showing you’re trustworthy owing money, so wait to be billed for your balance before paying it off.

[jehovahhthickness]

Omfg ^^^^^ I didn’t know this!!!!!!!

[vexedsolomon-deactivated2018120]

Just tryna spread the wealth of knowledge. ALSO, for those just starting to build/rebuild credit and can’t get approved for a regular credit card, you should get a secured credit card. It’s pretty much a credit card that requires a down payment and I use the Capital One Secured Credit Card (not sponsored) and I had to pay $50 (if I remember right) for a down payment and every dollar extra you add, you up your limit, so I paid an extra $25 and my limit was $225 starting. If you show you’re trustworthy with your payments and are active in using it, they’ll up your limit $300.

[jehovahhthickness]

Update: my credit score jumped by 40 points since I’ve made this post.

Don’t get it twisted. My shit is still trash but I’ll have the perfect score in no time.

This adulting shit ain’t so bad 🤑

[vexedsolomon-deactivated2018120]

HIT THE 800S, BOO!

[tayalldaynyc]

But less be honest if you don’t have a good mix of credit then ur still screwed u actually need different t types of loans wether for home or a car to really hit a perfect score

[jehovahhthickness]

Credit still can be repaired. 🤷🏿‍♀️

If you don’t owe people an exuberant amount of money and you only have a little bit of credit history (like myself but it’s trash), you should be fine.

[muscleupped-deactivated20181216]

This whole thread shows how flawed capitalism is

[jehovahhthickness]

Well this isn’t a ”I love capitalism” post, however, most of us live in a capitalist society and we weren’t taught how to survive in one.

This is only supposed to be helpful.

[geronimo-alonzi]

If you’re younger like I was but have income and parents that trust you, see if they’ll put your name on one of their cards. I’ve been a registered user on 3(?) of my dad’s credit cards for at least 3+ years and a little while ago I wanted to see about getting My Own credit card. Lo and behold, thanks to my dad’s good credit score I also had a good credit score. Mid 700’s. I applied for a non-secured credit card, not really expecting to get it, or if i did get it, for it to have a decent limit, since none of my credit score was Technically my own doing. Dad even warned me to be prepared for my application to be declined and suggested a secured credit card to aim for. But guess what? I fucking got it. A proper credit card with a limit 3x higher than what I was expecting. And you better fuckin believe im following in my dads footsteps for this good score shit. Im keeping my balance between 15-25% til the bill comes when i pay it off.

I know not everyone has parents who can help them out with this, but the adult world is a cruel place so take every advantage you can.

GROWN ASS MEN AND WOMEN PAY ATTENTION!! TRYNA SPREAD THE WORD OF RESPONSIBLE ADULTHOOD HERE!

[th3herojanette]

I never knew an authorized user would have their credit score affected as well. That’s a good idea for when I have children.

[princecarlton]

^^if I’m not mistaken, it works both ways, an authorized user can affect your credit. I put my mom as an authorized user on my capital one card so she could “fix my credit” not fully understanding what she meant but her good credit habits on her duplicate authorized card boosted my score up to the 700s with me barely using my card.

I guess, in theory, If you had someone trustworthy and financially responsible in your life, you could add them as an authorized user and potentially build your credit in a similar way

[thecompassinside]

This is a good post, but I need to correct something. It’s true credit used to not be reported in real time, but that’s changed recently. I built my credit score up to the 700s just by getting a credit card with a low limit and using it to make all my purchases, then immediately paying them off online.

[jehovahhthickness]

What exactly did you correct?

[randan-a]

Nothing was corrected 😂 just repeated

[zemedelphos]

Someone earlier said it’s not reported in real time, and you should wait for the bill to pay it off. Thearmoryouown was correcting that.

[jehovahhthickness]

In my opinion and experience, I pay off my bill the minute it’s due or a few days before the weekend so the payment can go through and my score can get that JUMP and I haven’t had any issues with that.

I guess it’s all trial and error.

[zemedelphos]

Oh nice. Which card do you have? I imagine it could also differ based on who you hold accounts with. Like maybe Credit Company A reports in real time, while Credit Company B reports on charge.

[jehovahhthickness]

I have a Citibank secured credit card so as long I pay off my bill on the 7th or a few days before the 7th of each month. My score will jumped.

My credit score have jumped 117 points since JULY, I’m literally a few points away from the 700s … mind you, my score was terrible (below 550)

That’s my experience and I think people should do whatever works for them because this is how I rehabilitate my score.

[metaphoricselfdestruction]

Waiting until they bill you is true my mom has amazing credit and she learned that the hard way. And I'ma repost cuz no one taught Millennials about how fucked up the credit system is. I was given a credit card and told to only use it for emergencies which is a bad idea. Because when you use it for an emergency you don't have the money to pay it back that fucked up my credit. It took me a few years but I finally got my credit in good standing once I started using some of the tips listed above (tips I learned from the internet). I ended up bringing my credit score up over 80 points in a year and building on that.

[yungks]

not to sound fake deep but stop obsessing over your dislikes. you don’t like a certain artist/genre? stop making negative posts about it. don’t like a movie? okay move on. don’t like a certain game? cool who cares!!! stop using the time in ur day to express what you hate and invest that energy into what you like instead, otherwise you seem bitter and sad ://

[jehovahhthickness]

Life is not where I want it to be right now but fuck, I came such a long ass way this year and I’m making some serious moves in my life that I should be proud of.

[puert0ricanprincess]

Girl didn’t you just turn 23? Or was it 24? Anyways, you are doing fucking great! 23-25 was so hard ass times for me. Mid 20’s fuck you up, but keep at it girl. Everything will fall into place. ❤️❤️

[jehovahhthickness]

24. But thanks for the encouragement, bby ❤️

[jehovahhthickness]

Been saying this

[tarynel]

Oh

[notjessica]

Dudes let their balls smell like garbage and sweaty dead body straight from a fire, but ur a cunt if u don’t suck him off into ur open mouth and swallow.

Women nut from SKILLED, and I typed S-K-I-L-L-E-D penetration that actually makes u squirt, and its as nasty as piss.

Like if u don’t want ur lady to squirt ur as weak as shit, and I hope natural selection is doing it’s job and not allowing u to breed.

[jehovahhthickness]

No one is looking down on squirting. I think there needed to be a clarification on whether or not, it’s urine.

Most men cannot make a woman orgasm, cream or squirt and the ones who CAN have no problem with any bodily fluids involved during an orgasm.

[adriennegabriella]

That’s what I figured it was, too. Even though it usually doesn’t smell like urine. Is it only considered squirting if it actually projectile shoots like it does in porn (I know I should know better) or is it normal for it just stream down instead?

[jehovahhthickness]

I feel like it varies? Not sure because for me, it feels like I’m peeing a lot.

[dragon-stoned-butch]

It varies. I’ve been with some women who just unleash a small river and then others who have shot me full in the face(these are when I’m strapping. Head it don’t matter, I’mma need a poncho regardless there). But I also believe it depends on the intensity of the orgasm in the process, and that’s based on observation.

[jehovahhthickness]

Yo, same sex couples are out here living their best lives and having orgasms.

Why the fuck am I attracted to men??? I want a refund!!!

[dragon-stoned-butch]

We are statistically proven better in bed. I can run it by babe, she might just let you borrow me😂😂😂

[jehovahhthickness]

[sw33t-as-sugar]

All imma say is run 😂😂😂

[blackgfdheart]

Men are just the worst at pleasing women. It’s why their only purpose is getting pegged.

UMMM what about “campfire song” or “indoors”?!!?!?! or the KRUSTY KRAB SONG

[honeynutcheerio]

If you guys didn’t see some white girl posted a montage of her colonizer experience in Hawai'i and has been getting dragged for days now lmao I’m not gonna link it cause it’s just her and some other haole girls she met her literally dancing on graves and sacred places and showing off her dirty hair.

But I did a little thread on why these romanticized ads of our home harms us (not super in depth but touches on some important points). And I was a lot nicer about it cause I actually do care if you come to visit and I’d actually prefer that everyone leave us alone forever but colonizers gonna colonize and settlers gonna settle 🤷🏽‍♀️
