Do you still have that edit of nick castellanos swinging a greatsword and can i please have it
i really appreciate this post doing decently well in spite of being pretty sure most of the people reblogging it have no idea that nick castellanos only hits home runs with the commentators are talking about tragedies or destroying their careers
— Castellanos hits a home run while Thom Brennaman apologizes for making a homophobic comment on air
— Castellanos hits a home run immediately after Fernando Tatís Jr. suffers a season-ending injury
— Castellanos hits a home run while the broadcasters eulogize the father of a team employee
— Castellanos hits a homer on 9/11
— Castellanos hits a single while the broadcast talks about one of the Blue Jays’ coaches being arrested for a DUI
— Castellanos hits a home run the night of the Oscars Slap
— Castellanos hits a home run on the day of Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins’ death
— Castellanos hits a homer immediately after the broadcast talks about a Memorial Day tribute
— Castellanos hits a home run at the game dedicated to Atlanta’s PA announcer who just passed away
— Castellanos hits a home run on the day of legendary Dodgers announcer Vin Scully’s death
— Castellanos hits a home run on the day Queen Elizabeth died
i don't know how to find the video but there's also the time an announcer was talking about how he was coming in to commentate on the same day his father passed away and is nearly in tears, but collects himself as the batter steps up to the plate and says "i'll stop talking about it here, don't want to pull a nick castellanos." and the batter immediately rips a home run deep into left field.
the only baseball card i own. i use it to ward off evils.
nick castellanos incurred an enormous karmic debt for which we all must pay
“Thanks for the moment, Uncle Charlie. Love you.”
i have been sent the link of the commentator's uncle having died as his nephew curses the batter with the dark words "nick castellanos"
also
can we add the I-95 collapse today to the list. it's the same day and not when the annoucer was talking about it but close enough.
y'know when i made that edit i didn't anticipate this post becoming my newsfeed for major tragedies
I put myself back on my old meds.
It isnt perfect. But it is something. And insurance and my psych both are dragging their feet so hard about getting my new meds covered that I just... can't. I've been vibrating out of my fucking skin with all my old symptoms for months now and I'm pretty sure ruined a friendship and am struggling with impulse control so here I am. I'm making an executive decision.
Hopefully I dont regret it
I forgot I have the ability to write on here and sincerely I am being serious when I say this is a vent, idk what I'd say to anyone about this but
Being off medication has made me remember how truly/madly/deeply I hate myself. Like. Wow. Without that barrier I just. I think I'm being fun and then that anxiety runs away with my mouth and then I ruin things.
It makes me want to delete every account I have and never bother people with me ever again. I don't know why I bother in some respects. What am I fighting for? A chance to stare at the sky again? I deadass went on a nice date with a nice guy (insofar as I can tell because I am Afraid!!!) And he is very much into seeing me again and I am So Scared and don't know how to act and don't even know how to say these things!!! I don't even have any business being there because I set all this shit up when I was MEDICATED and now I'm just. Idk. Idk what to do with myself right now. I would like it to stop.
So on the matter of this absurd deflection tactic I'm seeing from antisemitism apologists, where they're like: "Um sweaty, if you play a game with a race of short, hook-nosed goblins who all work at the fantasy bank, and immediately see them as Jews, then that's a YOU problem," I would just like to be crystal fucking clear about something:
We are not "seeing Jews" when we look at the goblins in the Harry Potter universe (or the reptilian Illuminati overlords and diminutive, rat-faced hagglers in your beloved science fiction franchises). Most of us are Jews, and are therefore pretty fucking familiar with how actual Jewish people look and behave (we do not have horns; we do like to share our very strong opinions about how to garnish latkes and hummus). None of us are seeing a Ferengi merchant from Star Trek, or Gargamel from The Smurfs, and thinking "Oh wow, he's the spitting image of my Great Uncle Moishe, and I'm mad about that!" This is not, and has never been, about seeing genuine reflections of the Jewish people.
No, what we're seeing are characters and tropes bearing a strong resemblance to the grotesque antisemitic caricatures that have been used in efforts to dehumanise, disenfranchise, and decimate us for centuries. We know damn well the goblins or dwarves or greedy reptilian space overlords aren't accurate depictions of real Jews—but they are evocative of age-old antisemitic stereotypes, and that's the actual fucking issue here. This isn't some weird thought exercise where we just free associate random things with Jews based on our own skewed self-perceptions. We're saying to you, "Hey, the imagery in this piece of media is uncomfortably reminiscent of the bigoted tropes constantly wielded by our oppressors to hurt us, and that's a problem, because it's both compounding our trauma and subtly reinforcing people's unchecked antisemitic biases," and you're effectively telling us to fuck off in response.
Like, if you don't care about antisemitism I can't change that, but you don't get to accuse Jews of being "the real antisemites" simply for pointing out the similarities between the short, hook-nosed, child-stealing, banker goblins in your shiny new video game and the blatantly anti-Jewish stereotypes used to demean us throughout the course of human history.
hey don’t cry. spiro the bald eagle failing at catching a crab, okay?
Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:
Replacing a HDD with an SSD
Adding RAM
Graphics cards if you're nasty
Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)
Customizing what runs on startup for your computer
Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:
Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin
adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading
Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too
Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:
Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.
Correcting disk utilization errors
Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:
Clearing cache and cookies on your browser
Restarting the computer
Changing your screen resolution
Uninstalling unused browser extensions
Things that do not actually make your computer faster:
Deleting files
Registry cleaners
Defragging your drive
Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.

This seems like unnecessarily starting shit. Dude you don't own colours, you even said that yourself. It just seems like he's jealous that James Charles is doing well.
Wow yeah Ethan is definitely just trying to start shit
This is mandatory. Read this, or unfollow.
Someone came to me privately asking about spreading BLM content. Either on 1 platform or all platforms. I think this is important for all of you to know.
I think the worst, WORST, thing a non-Black person can do is learn to rationalize their laziness. No…the most DANGEROUS THING actually. I’ve said this before, but I’d rather a fucking asshole tell me that they won’t post about BLM because they support cops or whatever bs, than that “friendly” white girl who makes excuses why she can’t support Black lives.
YOU
ARE
FUCKING
LAZY.
OWN IT.
Does looking at Black people being murdered get you a lil’ bit down? Imagine seeing yourself in those videos.
Do you want to keep with your theme and do some other bs somewhere else?
Guess what? I’m Black everywhere, all the time.
Every, EVERY, excuse is dripping with privilege and artificiality.
If someone says that they’re “doing the work” and they don’t have proof….don’t fucking have faith in that. I’ve talked to so many “friends” who say they are “researching” when I know for a fact they aren’t. How many of you reblogged my “How to be an ally” post and ACTUALLY have been working your way through it? If your friend isn’t using EVERY platform they have to help stop the ignorance that is KILLING people,
call them out or cut them out.
I BET you wouldn’t be hesitant if this were about lgbtqa+ issues.
Let me make this crystallll clear. If a non-Black person (yeah not just white) isn’t posting about BLM everywhere they can, isn’t supporting BLM every way they can, isn’t educating themselves every way they can, while saying “#Black lives matter”….THEY ARE NOT AN ALLY. You do NOT get point for being a good person when you say the fact: Black. Lives. Matter. Yes, now SHOW ME YOU BELIEVE THAT. For god sakes, stop rationalizing your friend’s laziness!!!! Or your own!!!
But if you hear someone say anything but “I disagree with the BLM movement” when answering why they aren’t posting/educating themselves. They are fake. If you say that, YOU ARE FAKE.
I don’t want you following me, or sucking up my energy if you aren’t actually going to make an effort to be a better person and support Black lives. Again, unfollow if you aren’t going to use the resources I provide.
This isn’t a safe haven for performative bitches. Go on some other blog where they post every once and awhile about BLM to remind you, because you have to be reminded, of the people being murdered in the street.
I bet they expect the lowest form of action from you there…a reblog.
And you loveee that. Don’t you? You get to pack Black pain away and pull it out when you reblog or repost something about BLM, then go lay on your couch, on your ass, watching a reality show instead of any of the other movies/tv shows I listed as resources.
No, not here. Not in my corner. You either own up to your fucking privilege, educate yourself, and spread the message far and wide, or you stop fucking USING ME to make you feel better about your ignorance.
WORDS ARE HOLLOW. ACTIONS MATTER.

How to be less racist
Im exhausted from blocking u and sending ur dumbass posts to my friends to talk shit so here’s a tutorial on how not to be a demon. ur welcome white devil
broke: speaking for us
woke: boosting our voices
broke: #im white tag
woke: putting that you’re white in your about page where we can always see it instead of tagging the bi monthly post you rb about racism with this
broke: uwu please let me know if i do something racist
woke: taking responsibility for yourself, monitoring your own actions, being receptive of criticism even if it’s not delivered to you in a nice way
broke: distancing yourself from your whiteness by making white people jokes and talking mad shit abt other white people
woke: understanding that you are not somehow less white than other white people bc you aren’t a cishet able bodied nt man
broke: getting mad when we make jokes abt hating white people
woke: understanding that you don’t get to monitor how we express our anger abt the trauma we’ve experienced at white people’s hands
broke: arguing with us about what is or isn’t racism
woke: understanding that you have never actually experienced racism, staying in your lane, actually listening to us
broke: making racism abt you and your feelings
woke: understanding your experiences with and perspective on racism are dumb and don’t matter, focusing on people of color instead
broke: constantly asking your friends of color to roast people for you
woke: not dragging us into all your messes, handling your own beef, understanding we’re probably tired of ur shit, learning to roast people yourself
broke: reblogging posts abt racism with #let me know if this is ok to rb
woke: not rbing posts if you think rbing it would be overstepping boundaries, contacting op to ask if you can rb their post, developing critical thinking skills
broke: “yeah i dont do this” or “omg i didnt realize that was Bad and i was actively hurting people by doing it” on posts abt racism
woke: reading and comprehending them, reblogging them silently and without commentary, not trying to get brownie points at all times
broke: answering asks from other white demons consoling you after you get called out for racism
woke: blocking those racist bitches, not feeding into the idea that any poc who calls you out is a monster, acknowledging that you fucked up, apologizing, not doing whatever you did again
broke: thanking me for teaching you how to treat poc like people
woke: realizing you should be embarrassed i had to tell you this shit”

In Artist Adrian Brandon’s Incomplete Portraits, A Year of Life Equals One Minute of Color
When Adrian Brandon starts to color a portrait, he sets a timer. For his rendering of Breonna Taylor, the clock is set to 26 minutes—for George Floyd, 46 minutes, for Tony McDade, 38, and for Aiyana Stanley Jones, just seven. “When the alarm sounds, I am hit with a wave of emotions ranging from anger, to deep sadness, to hopelessness, to feeling lucky that I am still here,” he says.
The Brooklyn-based artist is working on Stolen, a series of partially filled-in depictions of Black people murdered by police. Each portrait remains incomplete as Brandon only colors one minute for each year of the subject’s life that was cut short. “Aside from being able to give the viewer a visual of the various ages affected by police violence, the timer creates a lot of anxiety for me as the artist,” he says, wondering, “’When is the timer going off?’ ‘Will I be able to finish this eye?’ ‘Damn, I haven’t even gotten to the lips yet.’” In a note to Colossal, Brandon expanded on the project:
Although this anxiety may seem minor in that the consequences for me are very low, it does really have an effect on me. Anxiety is a feeling that black people are far too familiar with, and to experience that feeling while illustrating these portraits allows each piece to feel like a performance. A lot of Black people are forced to live with this anxiety and accept it as part of our every day. But these feelings build up and are exhausting. I shouldn’t have to do a prayer every time I see police pursuing a Black person in the streets. I shouldn’t feel anxious when the police are talking to a person of color. I shouldn’t feel so damn anxious that I remove my hat and jewelry when the cops pull me over. I shouldn’t feel so anxious that I would second guess calling the police if I ever needed to. This series is pulling me in, in ways that art has never done.
Brandon has been sharing deeper insights behind the portraits, in addition to timelapse videos, on Instagram.
I Need Your Help. Yes You.
Today, I talked with an incarcerated man named Shan Carter. He is on death row in North Carolina. He needs your help to share his story. He wasn’t given a fair trial and he has proof that he is innocent. His legal representation is ignoring him. His case is filled with so much corruption. This is serious, you guys.
- Please SIGN his petition here.
- Please DONATE anything you can, here, even $1! So he can get new legal representation that could help save his life.
- Please SHARE this with anyone you can. (This is a link to an insta post you can share.)
Here’s a statement from Shan’s Sister, Tina:
“Shan Carter’s family and friends love and miss him. We will never stop fighting to prove his innocence and until justice is served. I’m not just saying my brother is innocent just because he said so, I’m saying he is innocent and wrongly convicted because there is documentation and DNA test to prove he is innocent. All Shan and his family wants is justice to be served and to prove the corruption in his case so that no one will have to go through what he is because of the corruption in the system. Thank you to all that support him!”
Shan Carter Matters. He deserves a fair trial. He deserves justice.
(Visit his website to learn more here)
Here’s a site with all the links together.
Please please please help him!
Main thing here is they seemed to have convicted him based one person’s testimony who wasn’t even present for the crime
Exactly, and was proven to be an unreliable witness.
The Angry Black Woman
Black Woman Stereotypes 2 / 4
[ These are just some thoughts I have in my head about this topic, it isn’t meant to be a purely academic discussion. It’s meant to be a conversation to learn about another perspective. ]
-
The angry Black Woman stereotype is very interesting to me. I feel like that everyone except Black Women consciously or subconsciously apply the stereotype to Black Women. I don’t mean that as an insult, I’ve just noticed it. I’ve been called “an angry Black Woman” in my English class where I experienced the most racism so I’ve explicitly experienced this one.
I will go talk about three groups I’ve noticed take part in applying this stereotype.
1. Black Men
After I watched American Son, a movie/play based on a Black Woman searching for her son who was stopped by cops, I went on Youtube to see how other Black people reacted to the movie/play. I came across multiple videos of Black Men talking about how the Mother was acting “Crazy” and “Hysterical”.
Ummmm this Woman was looking for her BLACK son who was stopped by the COPS in his CAR late at NIGHT and has been MISSING for hours?
SHE IS ALLOWED TO EXPRESS HER FRUSTRATION???
So this is just one example of how, even in the Black community, Black Women are seen as too sensitive or hysterical because we express ourselves just as much as Black/White Men.
2. White Women/White Friends/ White People
White Women specifically and White people generally seem to be intimidated by Black Women expressing themselves. It’s shocking to them. I’ve heard many White Women/people in my life say,
“Why don’t you cool off?” “Don’t let it get to you.” “Don’t worry about it.” “Take a breath.”
Mind you, I never scream at anyone. All I do is calmly say “What the fuck” at someone acting like an idiot lol. I do understand it comes from a good place sometimes, but ultimately it just seems like they’re trying to “handle” me. Because I’m so damn angry. When I’m not.
3. People I Confront For Being Stupid
On here, I’ve dealt with idiots. If the 100th person reblogs my petition post and says,
“dOn’T dOnAtE tO cHaNgE.oRg”
or
If someone says,
“sO i’M nOt AlLoWeD tO eXpReSs My OpInIoN?”
I will message them.
I am straight up. I will say:
“So you’re making this about you? The OPPRESSED WHITE WOMAN? AHHHHHHH WAAAA” lol
or
“Wow, you didn’t even read my post before reblogging?”
I use humor. But my God does it trigger these people!
If I’m right I will explain why in depth but if I can tell you didn’t even read/consider the info and are just complaining, yeah I’ll poke fun at you. Because you’re acting stupid. If you make valid points, I’ll discuss it with you. And I have done this with multiple people privately and resolved multiple posts. I even got a friend out of it, @yeshasays .
Does my tone come off as passive aggressive or aggressive? Well, I sure damn hope so, because I’m TIRED of y’all’s bullshit. My first week doing this I was nicer, no, actually I was protecting White people’s feelings. But now, I’m just being completely transparent.
I’m telling you all of this because usually when I say, “I’m done” or “Bye”, the person being an ass will be like,
“Wow it was just a question…”
Or
“Glad we had a civilized talk….”
These people see me as screaming at them when really, I’m excited I get to find a Nicki Minaj gif to react to this convo. But those phrases above, just prove that people read into Black “anger”/Black Women’s “anger” soooo much. They’ll think I’m having a breakdown when I’m laughing at them.
I’m laughing at them. I don’t give a shit. I’m past the point of crying about it or being angry. I don’t feel anything. And yes that’s a warning sign, but right now that’s how I’m coping.
So when I get “mean” asks or “mean” comments, I’ll expose you. And top it off with a Nicki Gif. Because that’s how little I give a shit. If I know you’re a big problem, I’ll call in my bro, @yeshasays to handle your fuckin’ ass. Because I don’t have the time to write out a response to protect your White fragility.
I do notice though, when a White person confronts another White person instead of me, they are wayyyy more chill. Kind of like,
“But Mommy she hurt my feewings!”
type of vibe.
Which sucks because I’d like to be able to say what I need to say without backup, but we don’t live in that kind of world.
Anyways, in essence,
Black Women are allowed to have feelings because we are human. We get to cry, scream, feel just like you. If a Black Woman is angry, let her be. She is most likely angry for a logical reason. And before you tell her to “calm down” or “let it go”, imagine your friend saying that to you, when you are expressing your feelings. We as Black Women shouldn’t have to keep our problems to ourselves because it makes you uncomfortable.
My Mother even does this. She assumes I’m more upset than I am. When I have a healthy relationship with confrontation and I should be allowed to express myself as a human. I will NOT hide away my honesty, humor, and irritation because it makes others uncomfortable. If they feel uncomfortable with me, they damn well know where the door is.
I suggest my Black Sistas adopt this ideology.
-
Whew that was a lot of rambling.
Please participate in this discussion, don’t be scared to say something stupid, I’ll know if you’re coming from a genuine place lol.
Discussion time.
Let me know what you think here

I love how this makes me sound like I'm a mafia enforcer when really I am like that one White Mormon Neighbor showing up with my pants around my waist and saying OWO Y'ELLOW. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED....
