Seeing chuds put pics of charlie with mlk saying "you don't get silenced for the truth" when most of them don't view us as human beings I never wanna hear Westerners chat to us about propaganda

smh my head

Also, is it just me, or is that pic definitely AI-generated?

I type 120 WPM, and I just found this transcriptionist job that I feel pretty damn hopeful about.

Most people online who describe their experience doing the job (even R*dditors) speak pretty positively about it, and I find that's rare for these freelance kind of jobs.

They are also willing to do an over-the-phone interview (which I should get an email about in a bit, as I've just taken an assessment for them). I see this as a plus. Too many of these remote, freelancing kind of jobs would never actually let you connect with an actual person. They overall have an issue of lacking transparency big time.

The job also deals with legal and medical concerns, which are constantly in need of people to do transcriptions, so people have been saying that the job gives them plenty of work for it to be a full-time thing for them.

As expected, pay rate differs depending on how fast you type. It has been stated that someone who types 75 WPM should expect around 11 USD an hour, but someone who types 100 WPM should expect around 15 an hour. With my 120 WPM? Who knows?

I'm not getting my hopes up too much, though. Some people have stated negative things about this job, particularly tight deadlines and the fact that you may be dealing with emotionally intense stuff having to transcribe for legal and medical cases. However, for the point about the tight deadlines in particular, people have stated that if you have an absurdly fast typing speed (like I do), it's far less of an issue.

I'm still applying to other jobs a whole lot, and I also got a few interviews to show up to next week, so that still goes on, but fingers crossed on this one for sure! 🤞🏿 The fact that it's remote is also a major plus for me because I don't drive, and I live in an area where it rains rather frequently.

Ngl the Kirk stuff did worry me some the other day because of the possible back lash but like if I have to monitor every fit I would never get things done. Focusing on my HVAC career and the possibility finally of helping to lift my family out of poverty. I got goals and a future for when finally goes down

The garage was so hot today that I ended up chaffing my thighs really badly and now I can’t sleep it hurts to much

If Kirk was at an HBCU he'd still be alive. This should tell them something but they're too ignorant

Went to lunch with a friend today, it was nice until the topic of Charlie Kirk came up. I didn't hold back my delight at his death and made clear that he deserved it. My friend immediately starts going on about how that makes me as bad as MAGA - an argument that I don't engage with because it's a stupid person argument - and how I'm radical, which I say "Yes!" to.

He's recently been pivoting hard into Christianity and I know he spends a lot of time on Reddit, likely where he forms his political opinions. He tried to spin me a story about this Christian woman who forgave the killer of her children... after 3 days. He expected me to be impressed but I just found the idea of that absurd. How could anyone possibly do that? How could someone else hear that and think it's something to emulate or be proud of? It's just absurd.

I think he was trying to suggest people should forgive Charlie Kirk out of some Christian idealism - but no, why? I believe in second chances, but the man spouted evil up until the moment he died. He wasn't sorry. This was his grift, this was his job.

I felt a bit bad for ripping the woman he mentioned to shreds so I apologised if I offended him, and he 'joked' "no, I know you're just not very intelligent." This irked me because he is just like everyone else, going along with the mainstream narrative, believing and saying what they're being told to say about Charlie. Not using any critical thought. He's gay too (but white passing) and yet he doesn't see the threat that people like Charlie Kirk are to us. His solution to people advocating for the removal of our rights and our murder is to forgive them. And yet I'm the unintelligent one.

I don't have respect for people like that. He will never contribute positively to liberation. He's a citizen, he will happily live his life and be absorbed by his little problems, irrespective of what is happening around him, irrespective of the type of political climate he is living under - until it affects him. He's my friend but equally people like that sicken me because they are the majority and their lack of attention to things that matter and their willingness to parrot what they're told without critical thought is what enables all of this.

Nobody here knows about Charlie Kirk except me and an expat from Canada lol

All I can see from US social media is that the Groypers think this is their time to shine by saying things like “You thought Charlie Kirk was bad? Wait until Nick Fuentes becomes just as big”

Woke up and had a voicemail for this missed call to set up an interview.

I called back to set up an interview, and that is one W, but another is that, even with my groggy, "just woke up" voice, the person on the phone called me "Miss." That means my voice passes as femme at this point. Nice.

I somehow expected the shooter to be a chud, still wondering why no one said he was doing "adventurism" when we didn't know his identity.

I love the hexbear logic of supporting and sharing aremoveds work is okay if you just kinda dont care about his victims

Holy shit, what the fuck causes white boomer women to think I, a 30 something brown man, would be interested them?

These are the vibes I’m getting at work and it’s extremely disturbing.

I was talking to my dad today sharing some good and very important family news.

Dad: I'm just a little sad right now, my friend was killed yesterday.

Me: Oh my God! What happened? Which friend?

D: My friend Charlie.

M: Charlie? Who's Charlie?

D: Charlie Kirk.

M: PFFFFFFT LOL

Apparently we all lost a really intelligent man who just wanted to help other people. And he was not talking about the killer.

Now I'm thinking about environmental racism, the capitalist class truly love shitting where they don't eat. Fuck factory farming, fuck oil pipelines and fuck AI data centers. There are more things to list but I'm hungry rn. Guess it's colonialism all the way down same like with the police.

Bringing up racism in white people's favorite escapism fantasy settings always leaves them reeling especially if they feel themselves as progressive in some manner. The headspace I get from them is "I'm not doing a racism myself just letting it slide from friends/family/strangers whenever it comes up, how am I the bad guy?" They more confrontational at being called racist than they feel like confronting the racist culture around them.

i dont think ill ever get into superhero media in a way a lot of people are. its like greek mythology/percy jackson-esque fandoms. theres just very little for me to identify with. the exceptionalism of it all. yes im sure its easy to be a "good person" when you literally cant lose because youre that much better than anyone else. pretty much no stakes either because of that. its just masturbatory.

read something like journey to the west or watch the 1986 show instead.

I was followed by a bunch of men telling me how good my pussy smelled, I don't like going out.

I remember this episode of static shock where Virgil's dad was dating a cop and like Virgil runs away from the cops when they were gonna go through his backpack. The show goes out of its way of justifying from the cops perspective because they really really need to find something super duper important 🥺 nvm 4th amendment protections.

I know it's still cape shit but in the first season I quite liked it because of it's themes of community and understanding. The show got bigger and eventually folded into the DC universe but that wasn't why I was there to begin with.

I'm at a point where I functionally can no longer see myself in a relationship with a non-Black person again. I've been thinking a lot on this subject, and my mind has been kind of uncertain these past few months or so.

What I ultimately came to realize is that, in the context of how I view love, there will be always be something critically lacking in any relationship I'd have with a non-Black person.

At first, the thought of continuing to accept non-Black partners seemed possibly within my reach so long as they truly were based, were radical, and understood how to fight against anti-Blackness, and as great as some non-Black people are in these regards, I'm now at a point where the thought of dating any non-Black person feels as right as the thought of dating a conservative.

Of course, that's not me saying it's as bad—hell no. My point is that it just indescribably feels "off" in a way that no amount of other things we have in common can reconcile. Very much needed solidarity will always be missing.

Ideally, I want a partner who has a lot of things in common with me (the aforementioned 5 traits I've brought up several times). However, to keep my pool somewhat open, I'm going to base my search for a partner (when I'm ready—not a priority at the moment) off of these three things: Blackness, queerness, and veganism.

I'll go from there, but what I can certainly say now is that I will never entertain romantic and/or intimate encounters with non-Black people ever again.

I get my cake today, and I'm so excited!!!

3 HBCU campuses on lockdown from death threats. White man kill white supremacists HBCU gets threatened. Most on brand American shit

Rest in piss, Charlie KKKirKKK

My non-white coworker, who takes public transit, is very shaken up about what happened in NC. I know it's not technically racial but also I know it is.

A whitey just shot up 20 children not even a month ago. Random violence is as amerikan as apple pie but whiteys wanna act like only Black people are violent.

Still a little iffy here since all the stuff went down about burning the flag, but talking to other POC eases my anxiety.

Talked with some coworkers, we're all various kinds of POC that's been in the headlines lately, and it's been so relaxing. We all fundamentally understand racism because we experience it. The big difference is some other POC are feeling it from the state now while Black folk been feeling it since we were brought here. Regardless, we're able to agree that we feel it and it's all connected and we have solidarity with each others over it and that's enough to keep me going.

Just also wish my coworkers didn't have the liberal slant but one thing at a time.

Hearing the blue genocide whites at my job talking about how evil it is to celebrate Kirk getting got

Police watch me sometimes when I'm at the park, they haven't harassed me or anything and I'm usually too zoned out reading/writing/listening to music most of the time. I do think they are getting annoyed with me being so boring, idk having to preform and like this is eh. I'm used to by now always being put under a microscope, like it doesn't help my anxiety most of the time but sometimes I just wanna be invisible.

Just had a trip in Quebec City. Feels like any other Canadian city but edition...

So the supreme court in America ruled its okay to racially profile huh. I hate these motherfuckers

Managed to find an Afro-Caribbean non-binary therapist willing to provide pro-bono therapy for me. This is real nice. My last therapist was a dismissive cis white gay man who was deeply infuriating and ineffective.
