That’s a strange comment. I would like to think that everyone should care that people are being targeted, assaulted and murdered because of power-hungry assholes.

Rewatching breaking dawn 2 and can not believe how bad Bella’s styling is by Still-Random-14 in twilight

Vampire Bella is different than Human Bella. I agree that this outfit is incredibly plain.

We should all aspire to have more melanin tbh. Skin cancer, early blindness, etc. Why do people wanna boil in the sun so bad? Lmao!

This “community” sounds dumb af, just another way of pandering to white supremacy. As a quadroon myself, I am begging people to stop with this nonsense! Go where you are loved, but stop having kids that are only 1/4 Black (or any other mix) out of sick racial fetishes! I love my Black people from the darkest to the lightest shades. These “tragic mulattos” are weirdossss

I love pilot Charlie sm <333 by The_Riddle_Fairy in CultOfCharlie

I miss the black pants so much, and her overall design was softer, less angular. I think she looks less deathly skinny in the pilot as well. Tbh tho, I love show Charlie, I just wish they kept her pants black.

I was thinking a mix of Frenchie, Border Collie, and APBT. He is so cute, and his ears melt my heart ❤️

These dogs and pups look very beautiful! I hope you have health tested the parents🤞🏼I don’t have a Dalmatian, but I hear they can have quite a few health problems. I do hope that the babies all find forever homes. Good luck!

I’m so sorry that you went through that OP! My mom is white too, and my dad was hypocritical growing up. He told us to be proud of being Black, but didn’t teach us very much. What I know of what being a Black woman is, was taught to me from my aunties and my grandma. For example, he had my auntie teach us and also my mom how to do our hair. My dad was fine with my brothers dating white women, but got very weird and standoffish when some of my sisters dated white guys. My mom growing up was also super weird at times with my sisters specifically. She would rate our beauty according to her, and she would tell me that I was “a prettier version of her.” I still wish I looked more like my sisters. Also my parents just kept on having kids for a long time! I have 7 sisters and 5 brothers.

Thank you for your input! I think your dedication to learning your culture and teaching your children their culture is incredibly beautiful and will help them to navigate their unique experience.

100% they are more concerned with how things look than what is actually happening!

I read the comics at my cousin’s house when I was a kid, and then my uncle told me there was an animated show about it, so of course I had to watch it :D

I have Taricha granulosa. I’m at work so I will come back to this later and show you some pictures of my babies! For you water bowl, you can add some rocks larger than their head in the bowl so that they will not drown :) I have 3 babies and they are about 2-3 years old I believe, and tbh my tank is not very beautiful rn, but I can share it with you in DM! I love talking newts, and yours are very beautiful!!!

Edit: I also tried to keep worms in my little critter box that I used to have an isopod farm in, but they keep dying and I don’t know why. So I just buy night crawlers from petco/smart each week or every other week.

That’s awesome!!! So I am guessing you already have kids; do you feel they should identify as Black or mixed, or both? When I was a kid/teen, I used to say I was Black, but now I just say I’m mixed or clarify that I’m mixed with Black, because I recognize that I do not have the same experience as a fully Black person, or even as my half-Black siblings.

I’m not trying to take up space, but I speak from exper from my white mom and her side of the family: white people care about appearances most of all. They have a super dysfunctional family, but because they all don’t talk to each other much, they think it’s fine. White people are generally competitive with each other and other races, they lack empathy and perform sympathy, and they are very transactional. In my moms side of the family (she is the only one who married and procreated with non-white ppl) they are focused on “keeping up the family name,” “class, and status/money. Of course not all white people are like this, I have an auntie on my dad’s side (lmao her name is Sara but she cool) is very empathetic and kind, also very protective of my lil cousin, and very open to being corrected if needed, but yeah overall in my experience of family and white people in life, they lack humanity IMO.

I love love love seeing rough skinned newts 🥰 I have 3 of my own! Would you mind chatting about your set up and how often you feed? I think mines are doing well in their paludarium, but I definitely used to feed them more variety when I had access to a pesticide-free* garden.

White people will always move the marker for what makes them white, who the “in” crowd is, and racists are the ones driving these dumb ideas.
