Yeah, it’s not worth it. Hopefully I can get the communities I liked there started here!
No I completely understand! While we are different, I’m a Black American, I’m struggling to get my family out of a crappy area as is, imagine what would happen when Trump is president? Not to mention the majority of his cult members, who are horrible as is towards Black folks and any other minority groups.. His cabinet picks..? Supreme Court..? So fun.. 😭
My bestie, despite being born in the US is Guyanese, so I’m really hoping that she can stay. If she leaves, I wouldn’t know what to do.
No no, you gave me a much needed reality check. Just saw articles about minority groups being run off of some Fedi platforms and it’s very disheartening. Although, I’m glad to see instances like Beehaw and whatever else make sure that everyone has a seat at the table if that makes sense.
almost entirely off the table on a filament string. Can you believe it? I wish I had taken a photo of this mishap.
Woah! No I can’t!
No no, I get it! What’s terrible about it? If it’s okay to ask.
Yeah, I’ve never been there mentally, but I’m doing okay right now. I like listening to music, drawing, photography, reading webcomics and a bunch of other creative things.
There’s some Italo Pop in there too. All of my wraps have been solid, quite proud. 😆
A mix of Afrobeats & J-Pop.
This is hilarious to me. 😆
EDIT: OMG, I’m dying here, one song would talk about how kawaii someone is and then another song would talk about humping stuff. 😭
Broaden your horizons!

Fun post! I practice Hoodoo, which is Afro-American Folk Magic. It encompasses various West African spiritual practices under one term and is based on the belief that nature — trees, plants, and similar entities — has spirits that deserve our respect. This practice involves conjuring spirits, connecting with the roots, honoring our ancestors, divination, and offering praise.
I’m still learning, but recently the women who have shaped me into who I am today chose me through their spirits (This is called mounting). I want to make them proud. While working with spirits can be a bit intimidating, my culture teaches that you cannot engage with ‘the roots’ without understanding them, and there are as many benevolent spirits as there are malevolent ones.
Recovering from the flu. I'm just glad I can breathe again.
It's a nice little phone, bought it straight from japan. Has an led back panel, a pedometer and other features that I find interesting for a flip phone.
I mostly read webcomics on the Webtoons app, and I’m really into the comedy ones. One that I love is “Maru is a Puppy," which is about a girl whose dog turns into a little girl that she has to take care of. Then there’s "The Ki Sisters," which is like The Addams Family but with all female characters and a modern twist on pop culture. I’ve also been checking out "K.O," which follows a guy named Joel. He’s known as the "beast" at school because he fights a lot, but some of his classmates are starting to see that he’s not such a bad guy after all.
I’m not good at explaining so I’ll leave this here!:
