BLM GON' NEED MORE PRESS



When Cardi B said, ‘bitches be pressed’, she wasn’t mf lying. Bitches be PRESSED, but bitches be pressed about the wrong things. Since the BLM has caught serious media attention, and the racists have been exposing themselves, I’ve noticed that people really don’t like it when they aren't met with silence. Everyday why is it race relations but did you check yourself before you wrecked yourself? Black lives really rattle people, inject iiiittttttttt !!!!  

People don’t like it when you don't comply with ignorance. People don’t like talking about racism because man "dont see colour". People don’t like it when Black and Brown people are talking about the never-ending oppression that we’ve had to endure through no choice of our own because “we’re not our ancestors”. All this ignorance and complacency brings me to re-introduce the town I live in and the obtuseness it’s almost always escorted by. This town has a very prominent community page on Facebook which is mostly used to share recommendations, tips and advice, and mostly family orientated things, but since the height of BLM, it’s really cementing the reason why we’re fighting in the first place. There is no excuse for complacency, ignorance and lack of information when it all completely free to access. The general consensus on the forum page is that white privilege is myth and Black people are using this movement for publicity in order to align ourselves with what’s going on. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.

I feel as though people often don’t speak up on things which need to be challenged to avoid ‘saving face’ and avoidance of confrontation, but there is no room for comfort if we are trying to progress as a society. Black people aren’t going anywhere and neither is the movement so mf’s who don’t know better get to know.

Alongside the comfortability topic also comes the ‘wokeness’ of big brands, platforms, and TV productions such as YouTube, The Simpsons, Morphe etc who are now 'realising things'. YouTube and everyone around them are all realising things. Looool, shoutout Kylie Jenner for saying wagwan with that but listen. All these platforms are mocking it. Shane Dawson and Jeffrey Starr. How long have they had such large platforms on YouTube and whatever else, how long have they been KNOWN racists but YouTube have only decided to do something about it now? Has Jeffree Starr ever been out of pocket for calling Black women gorillas and being openly racist? Bro. It's actually jarring. It has been from the beginning. Moving on to The Simpsons and Family Guy. They’ve only now decided to change their voices for the Black and Brown characters on their shows to ACTUAL Brown and Black people Has the social and political awareness only now just clicked? How long these shows have been on television? YIKKESSSS. Being fake woke is really gonna wipe these people out.

People in positions of power and with mass amounts of money don't give a fuck about Black lives. They love endorsing racists and it’s never an issue until they could potentially be no longer in their bag. These companies do not sing the same song when users of their platforms are being overtly racist and it doesn't help that everyone is only 'woke' for a second and then its making to enabling and allowing racists to be in their bag further.

But anyway, we just want more done than just police only losing their jobs. We want jail time and accountability. Cancelling your 'faves' would also help but nobody has ever been cancelled efficiently so why start now?

Reparations today can be taken via the link below and by also saying FUCK TWELVE three times in the mirror.

Lockdown 2.0

  Happy first day of lockdown 2.0. This is just a reminder to not let red back pack twitter convince you that you need to have saved 5k by the time this lockdown is over; or have anyone tell you a full face and not going anywhere isn't allowed; or that you need to be doing the most. Shit is about to get so tight for some of us if it isn’t already and I just wanna let you know that you set your own pace and you don’t owe strangers on the internet a thing in the world. I also want to express my forever escalating concern for mental health and the ways in which this second lockdown might contribute to deterioration. You are never alone in the way that you feel, and you are also entitled to feel the way that you do. I know sometimes issues and feelings seem so insignificant because “other people have it worse” but it’s not a competition. A problem is still a problem and your feelings are still your feelings, nobody can ever take that away from you. If you are struggling please co...

It is what it is.

  It is what it is. Shit happens and then you die, but what matters is how you live your live in between. Sometimes shit hurts, sometimes we lose people, sometimes we can smile about the small things in life. It hurts to lose friends, break up with your significant other or coming to terms with things you thought you’d never have to deal with. In some ways what’s most painful is that it’s inevitable; it’s part of growing pains. Eventually we all learn to live without the people we thought we could never live without. We meet new people who make up for the pain we once felt. I try and find lessons in everything that happens to me because as I've learnt in this life, I can't come and kill myself for things I can't change. I know sometimes nature just naturally runs its course and you grow out of doing certain things and or people and eventually God will put new things and new people in place of the past, but it doesn’t mean it’s any less painful or difficult to move on fr...

Me, Myself and I

The topic of mental health is also something which I have expressed thoughts towards before but the damage words can do is not something we discuss until someone does the unthinkable, but even then it's mental health advocacy for a couple days then it's back to being a prick. We always tell each other to be kind to one another, and that we never know what someone else is going through but the fact of the matter is that we shouldn’t have to know what someone else is going through in order to establish whether or not that person deserves to be treated properly. I don’t think people really conceptualise how even the smallest of comments can live with someone for the rest of their days. That sounds bare dramatic but it’s true. Sometimes I don’t think it’s not what someone says, I think it’s the delivery which can be more impactful than the message at hand. It can often turn into essentially living for someone else. Someone says something to you or does something to you and you th...
