Back in the day, we did none of this peroxide, twisting, juicing stuff. We just rubbed half of a potato on our ear, ‘sterilised’ a needle with a cigarette lighter, squeezed our eyes shut, and hoped for the best. And then took them out after six months.

bolt clippers :p

You might need to go to the docs to get em out. Ive never encountered someone getting them stuck tho. Maybe your ears swelled around them? I never had those though. I been having my ears pierced since I was a kid. I was the only kid in kindergarten back in 95 that had a gold hoop. Should’ve started earlier bro lol.

though April Reign has every right to say that #OscarsSoWhite is indeed by and for black people alone, she has taken every opportunity to insist that Hollywood still needs to do better by nonblack Asian Americans and Latinx folks

I’ve said before that Anti-Blackness is a global phenomenon. It is not surprising that other races view us with contempt, or as a mule that they can wipe their feet on and ascend. Which is why I believe that the Black experience is distinctly unique and that POC is a misnomer.

Thank you for this. Although I don’t give a single goddamn about awards shows, I feel the more appropriate global analogy for me is the Civil Rights Movement and specifically the Poor People’s Campaign.

We’re just gonna act like the racism directed toward the African American at the hands of your community doesn’t exist. Some of your people just banned hip hop culture from their country. Where were your people when we were marching? Where were your people while I was putting my life on the line to prove we…

Friendly fire like a mofo?

And ?

Because pancakes can stand solo!

Also, pancake are better than waffles, for fuck’s sake.

Black Flat Earthers are the worst. A few have admitted to believing in it because “you never know” or a difference of an “opinion” is science is always good.

White people are gonna white.

Exhibit #7491 as to why “white allies” won the 2017 World Wypipo Tournament.

Have billed ourselves as the “Greatest Country In The World”, then outraged that people want to come here.
