Aaaand now I have "Red Letter Day" going through my head. Thank you for that :)

Re. that gif: He must've said "I don't know" one too many times...

Me too!

What I imagine they're thinking—

Who cares if it is? It's your memories, and that stuff matters. My dad used to do audio recordings of me, from the time I was born until I was a toddler, and now that my mom's gone, hearing those recordings is such a gift.

MTE. There's assholes everywhere, and we have our fair share in the great white north... :(

That is indeed apropos! :)

I can't view Youtube links at work, but if that's "What's the use of getting sober?", then I think you are all kinds of awesome ^_^

I'm white, so I'm not an authority by any means—take what I say as incomplete at best. Most of what I know about the history of dreads in terms of being an expression of faith is mentioned in that wiki article you linked. The cultural part is related to white beauty standards. Black girls and women have felt compelled…

Sorry about that, eh?

I think it's that most white kids who dread up are in a rebellious phase and don't have a real understanding of the cultural context or the history of dreads. There's a lot more tied into a POC's decision to wear their hair in dreads.

Ooh, I do hope he's got some heirloom carrot seeds...!
