Happy Pride all the queers in my phone. But an extra happy pride to all the bisexuals in straight passing relationships. To the trans people still living in the closet for their safety. To the nonbinary people getting misgendered. To the ace and aro people who sometimes feel like Pride isn’t for them. To the BIPOC people who face discrimination in the queer community. To everyone who feels like they aren’t queer enough.
You are enough. Pride is for you.
HES BACK. RUN
with the fact that the uk race riots are happening in belfast too perhaps white usamericans/canadians can stop pretending that being irish or having irish ancestry inherently makes someone progressive or anti racist lol idk why they became convinced of this but it does my head in
It's wild to me how this is perfectly applicable to today and this was written in 2024. Which means y'all didn't listen the first time because it kept happening 😭 second times the charm? Abeg? For people's lives?
so you can shoot a black child in the back as he's running away and get away with it with zero consequences, but god forbid a black child defend himself, because that'll land him thirty-five fucking years in jail—which is basically a life sentence. half of his life will be over when his sentence is up. all the fake talk of progress in this country has just been a way to silence black people for speaking out against the countless horrific injustices we're forced to experience, from microagressions to outright murder. you literally cannot go a day without hearing about another black person falling victim to systemic racism and then having to listen to people justify why they deserved it. and we're supposed to hold no animosity whatsoever as we grin and bear it.
i miss u so much (pre ai internet)
we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent
An expert guide to get started using torrentsTorrents are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, accounting for over
always use qbittorrent, do not use bittorrent or utorrent.
i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
images like this is why you gotta be specific and type in "Black" when you're searching things online. Typed in 'locs from the side' searching for a ref. That's on me. Forgot to follow my own rule. What's crazy is this is actually what so many depictions of locs end up looking like when people don't know how to draw em on Black heads- where the top of the head is straightened and then just the ends are locs.
Lmaoooo who is making these

Saw this online while scrolling, and yeah. I feel this. I want solidarity; I truly and genuinely believe in my spirit that community can and will save us.
But it is hard to keep building community with a society that hates me, it really is. Like, are we in this together or not? Because if you're not in it to destroy antiblackness alongside every other form of oppression, especially when racism is a root cause of a lot of our problems... Why would I work with you? Because you don't get to demand my power and my submission at the same time.
That's a rhetorical question, btw. Ponder on it with yourself.
I promise this isn't me forcing Christianity on you, I'm just talking about an experience I had that combined my Blackness and religion. I get asked about it a lot.
I am an ardent lover of the movie X about Malcolm X (dir. Spike Lee) because not only is it a phenomenal movie with Denzel Washington doing one of his best performances ever, and actually broke that "Malcolm was the bad guy!" propaganda we get, but it actually was very spiritual for me on my journey of self love for my Blackness.
When Malcolm learned of Jesus' hair being textured like sheep's wool, I actually touched my own afro for the first time and felt connected directly to God in a way I had never felt before looking at
Like I didn't just feel love for my afro- which, I'd already begun feeling years before when I felt my own texture for the first time at 17- but I felt reverence. I felt worship for it. It was nice, that I actually felt a part of God's image in a way that was literal, that White Jesus had simply never done for me. I felt divinely created. As much as white western Christianity enforced that Whiteness (their image) is divinity, it sure is odd that their divinity has hair textured like mine!
