Whelp. When I first saw the trailer my immediate thought was “wait, you mean to tell me NO Black women were apart of this movement?” it was so obviously bullshit and I’d wiped my mind of it right after that. Once again, misogynoir at the hands of Black men and non-Black DOC strikes again.

I love love love Auntie Mary. She’s such an inspiration and she continues to overcome. And I never dance but after a few drinks, her signature one-two-step is my go-to lol

it’s just totally inconceivable to me that a Shinigami would drop a Death Note into Seattle AND appear to some white kid. I guess if you were to stretch your imagination, a Shinigami could drop a DN in Seattle that only Japanese people could see? I suppose that would fit the lore?

My roomie showed this to me on Tuesday night, after I got off an 8-hour shift at midnight and was about to go to bed. Needless to say, we won’t be living together next year. But really, I had to turn away whenever it looked directly at me. More than scared me, I was deeply unsettled?

LITERALLY. like Seattle of all places?? NYC/LA would make it way more interesting.

I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this but, aside from the whitewashing. The Naked Brothers Band guy seems like the worst pick for Light. Like Light was an asshole, just a horrible person all around. But he was one charismatic mf, that was his whole shtick and Nat Wolfe has the stage presence of a wet napkin.…

(sorry in advance, this is kinda long lol) As a dark skinned Black woman, I can attest to the colorism in my family. My mother’s family is my lighter side with hair that’s more wavy than kinky, and I was always too dark for them, hair too nappy.

I’m glad she was found okay! That’s so scary! Side note: I have never seen a more relaxed news anchor before. That guy was super chill

Who didn’t know she lied. Every Black person in Money, in Mississippi, in the South, and in America knew she lied.

I occasionally call my dad “Daddy” (I’m in my 20s) usually unconsciously when I’m talking to one of my younger siblings. My mom called momma or Ma (especially when I’m trying to annoy her, she says I sound like sheep lol) but never mommy.

papa sounds too close to ‘paw paw’ (which is what I call my grandfather) for me. I can’t imagine a small child being able to distinguish the two.

yeah, I think everyone can agree, ghosts just can’t properly read social situations. A shame really, because I’d love to talk w/ the nice ones but they’re just so creepy.

ok, not a scary story but I am currently reading these at work (because procrastination and I’m also too afraid to read these at home lol) and it’s made me super jumpy. My desk phone rings and I answer, give the receptionist spiel and...very quiet breathing (sounded more like gasping)? Maybe whispering? So I say…

yeah I’m reconciling my dislike for Donald (for the reason you listed) to check out the first couple episodes since the show looks aesthetically pleasing

That was my mom! I couldn’t watch Ed Edd n Eddy because they were disrespectful. My younger siblings couldn’t watch Caillou because he whined.

I actually think this actually did irreparable damage to my sleep schedule lol

I grew up on Harold’s too! Sometime I find myself considering if a flight back home solely for Harold’s is worth it lol

My facebook feed is full of talks about the protest. This is probably the only time I’ve seen my friends across the spectrum coming together over something political like this. Damn, I wish I was home to see it in person.

That’ll really make them wanna go there, huh? Okay, as a Black student at a PWI with an even smaller Black population (it’s like 2.2% or something), I would just caution any Black kids who are looking into college and have never been exposed to overt racism or microaggressions(esp microaggressions tbh) to go somewhere…
