      Its so good, should 100% be the track of the summer, but I'd be lying if I said Euphoria doesn't just slightly edge it out in my personal taste.

        Same. Not Like Us is catchier, but Euphoria hits on a different lyrical level.

        I don't know why but I like 6:16 in LA better than Euphoria.

        Love that sample, beat, and flow in that one. They're all amazing though.

    I don't know what I'm going to do for pride month. I have a drivers license now so maybe I'll actually go to gay bars/marches and rallies and stuff instead of walking awkwardly in a rainbow capitalism fair.

    It's scary does anyone have tips on now to navigate gay bars as a BIPOC?

    I hate when people drive white or black Ford SUVs or full sedans.

    Whenever I see them in my rearview mirror at night I always assume they're pigs and I get really nervous. Then when I realize it's just some Karen I get so pissed. Cop cosplaying fucking stormtrooper ass cars.

      Do we count old-school, boat-sized Buicks (I'm talkin like, 225s and shit) as stormtrooper-assed cars? 'Cause I can't give up my grandmother's wagon, I'm sorry comrade

        No way, they're way too before my driving years to consider as cop cars. Those are gangster as fuck. That's an awesome car, comrade, congrats!

        I meant to say only Ford SUVs and Ford full sedans are cop cars to me, as opposed to the Ford Focus or Fiesta or non-Ford full sedans.

        They should have cops driving Ford Fiestas, that shit would be funny.

    Been all over the place.

    My mom got an operation done last week and she's been recovering well, but needs help doing anything strenuous. My dad hasn't been eating much lately and its reached to the point where, for the past few days, he's barely been able to get up. He has parkinson's so it makes it especially hard for him to move around. So my brother and I have been helping move him around, but its taken a lot out of physically, especially my brother who has back problems. Thankfully he's been doing a lot better today and looks like he should be able to move on his own in the next day or so.

    Meanwhile work has been increasingly hectic. I had previously posted about it, but deleted the post just to be on the safe side. But there was some nonsense that happened over the weekend.

    On a lighter note, things have been going well with my crush. Kinda dropped a hint of a date idea last weekend and I'm probably going to ask her out this weekend if everything else resolves itself.

    Hi! I don't know if I should post this here but what would you guys include in a presentation on race and race-related issues in school?

    We have mostly finished a presentation, but I may have missed some important topics. Topics included are:

    • Definition of race
    • Racism and its origins and examples
    • Microaggressions and examples
    • Privilege and examples
    • Example of discrimination


    (I may make this a separate post as well if more details are needed)

      Read Economics of Racism

      though it won't answer the microaggressions thing

      (Book came out in the 1990s)

          I mean, it definitely makes good points, though, about eugenics in 1990s American life, but yeah, skim through some of it as it's a lot of statistics (though stick for the observations).

            That's especially good as we were looking for statistics to talk about, especially ones that are contradictory (eg. one race more likely to hold drugs, another more likely to be arrested)

    It's so fucked that my only white friend since elementary school is also by far the least racist friend I've had since elementary school because she's a communist
