that’s funny...as an old IMer and IRCer, I typed stream of consciousness. Until I started to have to pay for texts. Then you made damned well sure you said what you had to say in as few words as possible. then came smartphones and it changed again.

These days I’m conscious of sending multiple messages because I don’t…

the issue has always been that white women need to say less and do more when it comes to racism, and that still applies. words are not actions, and we need to remember that.

i’m so done with the performative news feed in general. that’s all it is.

it’s a problem because by and large these screeds by white women are lifting up *themselves*. and white women are *still* not the voices we need to listen to right now. they never have been. white women need to to LISTEN right now. not talk.

this, but in the car after prom. they played country music at prom :/

you get out of the house for essential trips and nothing else. and clearly you’re not complying, meaning YOU are the problem.

It’s reasonable and also his right to ask people not to make death threats in his name.

It’s amazing that you still think the official advice is “stay 6 feet apart at all times” and not “AVOID GOING OUT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY but if you MUST, wear a mask and maintain 6 feet from others at all times.

It’s called parental neglect. back when I was growing up in the 80s and I dealt with that, they called *me* a “latchkey kid”. And you know whose fault that wasn't? mine.

The criticisms against her are entirely valid but this is just dumb:

why is she shitting on black women’s cornflakes *immediately* after history was made and these women are being celebrated? seriously, how self-absorbed and clueless do you have to be to not see the issue? she sure didn’t congratulate anyone. at best this might be sour grapes, except for the reverse racism bullshit…

(and honestly, she doesn’t want to self-reflect. she’s quite literally whining about “reverse racism” while simultaneously deflecting legit criticism. if it smells like racist...)

oh i’ve been creeped out by her since she first arrived. something about her always just felt...off, and wrong. I’ve never listened to her music or much cared about her until recently, which led me to discover all sorts of shit i’d missed. Fuck this woman! *holds up champagne flute*

oh thanks for that! My bad brain got stuck on a gencon adjacent definition and I couldn't wrap my head around it...and it was bugging the crap out of me. 

NObuchar.

I think she means we need to be more gentle because white women’s fee fees are oh so very delicate.

And you wear other peoples’ identities as a costume to give yourself the air of cred and grit...fuck this woman. what's crystal clear after all of this is that Lana is obsessed with one thing: Herself.

If we can’t genuinely self-reflect after making a statement fraught with racism, intentional or not, we’re not going to have much of a society. OH guess what, that’s happening right now.

if memory serves, in 2001 there was a goth mailing list named Black Planet (because Sisters) that a lot of black folks used to sign up for mistakenly. Eventually it became overwhelming and they gave it up. The goths, that is.
