Like I don't really use any other social media, but sometimes (like this past week) I venture outside of my hexbear bubble and I browse twitter, or reddit, or instagram, or tiktok, and holy shit I just browse those websites for a minute or two and feel worse about myself, worse about the world, it honestly seems like everyone on those sites is completely insufferable and every post is designed in some CIA laboratory to make me irrationally angry. Like look, sometimes we can all get annoyed at each other here, and I am no exception to that, and nowhere is perfect, but wow this place is 1000% better than like the majority of the internet, I honestly don't know how people go through life at this point browsing the regular internet.
For a POC like myself this is one of the few places on the net that doesn't have seething or overt hatred for my kind
Aight chief i'mma ask you to make a habit of being a lil more specific with your description of self, since you've got a three month account here: "For a POC"/"as a POC" never looks right, and makes me think the person saying it is cosplaying. Just my rec from me to you, if you Black, claim it with your whole chest. If it's another nationality that a peckerwood would first clock as Black, Pacific, or Indigeous, claim it with your whole chest. Get me?
Black. African.
Claim it then, homie. Like, as a habit. Not tryna get too in your ass about it; but it's hella white folk who cosplay Black and couch it in "as a POC myself"-type bullshit.
Yeah I see what you mean. Too much digital blackface online
