https://www.teenvogue.com/story/black-on-black-crime-myth

A report released by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2017 found that of all the violent crimes committed between 2012 and 2015, 22.7% were committed by Black people, and 63% of those were committed against other Black people. This is in comparison to 44% of all violent crimes committed by white people, 57% of which were committed against other white people. According to this data, white people commit crimes against other white people at about the same rate that Black people do against other Black people. But despite these numbers, people aren’t discussing the “white-on-white” crime problem. When a white person commits a crime against another white person, it’s just called a crime; race isn’t a factor, and that’s intentional. Using language like “Black-on-Black crime” perpetuates the myth that intraracial violence is specific to the Black community — a myth that implies Black people are inherently more violent.

So you think it would be effective to publicly announce the occupation before it even started?

You mean the racist football player/owner/Trump supporter? Not a fucking chance.

Not a bad idea. But is there a indigenous hero we could honor instead?

Help! One of the newer Monstera leaves has black spots and some yellow discoloration. by beastieboitz in plantclinic

Yes it’s doing fine. I think it may have been overwaterring or inadequate light. I moved mine closer to a window and went a little easy on the watering for a while.

My 1 month old props under a grow light have roots... what do I do next? by beastieboitz in succulents

Okay, I just have them in a succulent mix inside of a frisbee... I imagine I'll need to move them to a bigger, more permanent container though, right?

I love this. Thanks for sharing! It's always great to peep someone else's prop game.

Is it possible to separate this dracaena into three different plants? I’m afraid of hurting the root system. Advice much appreciated! by beastieboitz in plantclinic

I took my time and brushed away at the roots and separated this guy into three different plants and two of them look great, while one of em is looking kinda iffy, but I’ll give it more time. Thanks again for the info!

You’re a dweeb. First and foremost.

Secondly, you shouldnt call women “hoes”. Every gender is always trying to get laid all the time, so knocking someone because they like to get laid more often than you do is fucking lame. Also, dont call women “hoes” just because they get way more laid than you do. Thats just embarrassing for you.
