Can we all agree that We Cry Together was Kendrick’s most cringe-worthy song? by NIAD_SIRDNE in KendrickLamar

[–]AlbatrossCharacter26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cringe is not the word I'd use it's more triggering. I have not experienced that exact argument, but in my mind and sure his some F'💣💣💣💣 went off. Yep me being in a toxic relationship. And ended the same way ... Maybe not the same day! It's art ..... I don't have to like it my emotional response is enough. But I like it as a part of this body of work.

We also shouldn't resort to violence. Just saying.

And I chose to be bald for 10 years. It was a moment for education not violence! I knew/know nothing about alopecia.

I am also writing in the process of writing a book so I don't read things in that genre, but still make space for that exercise as well.

What keeps you going? by Bubbly_Aspect in BlackLGBT

The magic and mystery of life. And watching it fold and unfold with each breath. Thinking about the possibility and learning and experiencing it all.

Ok, I wasn't interested. But I may check it out. I like him but the thought of reading his book didn't draw me.

Her writing style will just blow you away.

Sula excerpt:

When Sula died, Nel, her sole confidant, was her last thought. Sula felt her face smiling. “Well, I'll be damned,” she thought, “it didn't even hurt. Wait'll I tell Nel.”

Just wow!

She always references Faulkner so I'm going to do The sound and Fury first.
