Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

I gotta complain about this one somewhere, so a few weeks ago I applied for some medical receptionist position, got an interview, got turned down no surprise. Last week one of the interviewers sees me at my IRL retail job and per usual I'm like the only one able to ring up customers on a skeletal crew night and there's a huge ass line of angry people, when she comes up she starts going off about how I'm in a bad position and she feels sorry for me. I'm thinking all sorts of rude things but say nothing and pretend to be too focused, such sorts are looking for a reaction. Probably the first customer in a while that realized I actually have an education rather than the usual 'tee hee illegal tamagotchi never read a book, no habla ingles' horseshit bigots I deal with day in and out. Still a bigot most likely, HR sorts are until proven otherwise. Yesterday I had a bunch of having the time of their lives giggling as 60-some year old boomboom children pretending they didn't understand me. Come on now, a San Jose accent isn't incomprehensible to a midwesterner.

I read long ago that hamsters may eat their babies to reduce the scent that could attract predators or to focus their energy on their own survival. I feel this sums up the relationship Democrats or libs in general around the world have with POC. Why not have a little genocide in gaza to delay the inevitable.

I decided to add more to the song.

Here's where it sits so far.

I intend for this entire part to serve as a long proggy instrumental intro of some sorts!

Job hunting seriously continues to be depressing. I've been in this hole of unemployment for too long. I've had brief moments of hope, such as a time where I did have a job for a few months but got fired for no apparent reason and job offers that ended up being disappointing, misleading, or even scams.

I seriously just wanna be able to be an exploited worker like everyone else... at least in that case I can feel some level of "independence" and "freedom," as they call it.

It feels like an endless hell, and I have many aspirations, like leaving this shitty state or being able to get the music equipment I need to record a debut album, but it's hard for me to even see that end in sight. I'm confused and don't know what more to do. I try to sit, research, and brainstorm ideas but get overwhelmed by how long I do it and come up with nothing in the process.

Are there more poc-friendly horror spaces anywhere? I’ve mentioned before how the gore community makes racial issues here look like Club Penguin, but it’s getting to be too much.

Constant uses of the f-slur and n-slur with the hard R being placed in various images because funny. Then there’s the edits featuring the most dated anti-black stereotypes imaginable.

I love horror and exploring the genre but so many edgelords make the fandom hard to be a part of.

React channels are bottom tier garbage. So whenever I see a POC react channel usually down the line they end up nodding with some shit that make the kkk blush. You know how many of these chucklefucks big up Charleston fucking white? That mf has said shit even kanye does a double take on. Mf literally bragged aboutremoved women

I hate seeing news articles about trumps racism and racist policies. We all know he's racist, why do we keep clutching our pearls everytime he does something he's known for. Also this country was always racist so what is there to be surprised over. Come back to me when you're ready to get guns

Black men are very unlikely to be born rich and even less likely to be born white

Did horrible at my physical training yesterday, was just uncoordinated and not good at cardio. Hope I improve with time and am able to balance more, as it was pretty embarrassing.

I really wish that leftist homies would stop pulling their daggers out on each online and go plug into any sort of real world organization. Something as small as dungeon and dragons group to a straight up leftist org. I hate the internet so much it’s really got people backwards. Go link up with real people leftist homie, link up and and be a part of something.

It’s feel this doubly for my fellow PoC-homies. Like I hate seeing PoC lefties doing weird online flame wars over nothing. Feels bad to see.

I love computers and computer nerd shit, but I still think the internet was a mistake.

Well I’m back from El Salvador and my break. I gotta say it feels good being around leftists who can actually analyze the situation using our own history and not ww2. They understand how hard the 20th century was for the region and how much Bukele is resembling Maximiliano Martinez.

My own family are mixed on him. The men are unsurprisingly die hards who see him as some sort of tough guy while most of the women respect him cracking down on crime but want him to leave migrants alone.

You have to remember that the things he’s doing didn’t start with him but he’s making the largest spectacle out of it. The whole targeting people with tattoos was a thing that started with Honduras in the 2000’s and Guatemala has a long history of disappearing people in US backed prisons, including American citizens. One of whom the Clintons mocked.

I still think Bukele is a regional issue. Mexico and Colombia are welcome to get involved with their countries being linked to Central America but that’s as far as I’m willing to go.

We have to also remember that climate change is hitting El Salvador hard. Harder than it is with Guatemala. I think Guatemala will survive by the end of the century in a very fractured state but I think El Salvador will be one of those countries that will no longer exist.

Final update: we decided not to talk anymore, not even as friends, and I respect that.

She's genuinely a good person, and even though things didn't work out how I hoped, I'm grateful for the time we shared. It showed me my heart's full capacity to love and proved that the kind of person I'm looking for in a relationship can exist, even if it's not her.

This was different from anything I've felt before. Looking back, my past "love" I had other people was built on potential. I idealized people, loved who I wanted them to be, not who they really were. With her? No illusions. I loved her exactly as she was. That's why I couldn't settle for anything less than something real and lasting. Since that's not mutual, walking away is the right call.

I hope our conversations brought her even a little joy or warmth. For me, the experience was priceless, and if it brightened her world in any way, that makes it even more meaningful.

No regrets. Just gratitude.

Also, still a thug!

In good news, my freeform dreadlocks just keep getting better and better. Nothing will teach you patience like growing freeforms, damn! Birthday's also hella close.

I share a birthday with a very famous abolitionist, go figure. If that hint doesn't help you, also consider the piano man.

Holy shit I just tried to make a POC character in Oblivion Remastered and it looks like a cracker wearing blackface/yellowface/brownface

:yea:

It's worse than before, what the fuck

I wanna get back into writing but when I wanna make my characters speak spanish I realize how limited I am. I speak it fluently but I never bothered to learn writing it, mostly because I refused to learn the spanish taught in schools. There is something that for sure is gonna be lost if not kept, all the euphemisms and idioms I wanna use would give my characters the sauce.

Still being a thug

All my conchas came out flat not concha shaped at all, sad

Back on the grind.

I am not on that grind mindset, get me the fuck outta here

Honestly though, it hasn't been too bad today. Let's see how I feel 3 weeks into a 6 day a week schedule
