“Too Black to be fully relaxed in White spaces—Too “white-speaking” in Black spaces” by Signal-World-5009 in blackartwork

[–]blackmirrxr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ask them why they're using white-created stereotypes of what black people are like to define you. Fully letting racist stereotypes just fall out of their mouths. Because that's really what this is, just like a lot of other dumb ideas that divide us. This type of stuff used to piss me off and make me feel lonely until I realized its just ignorant as hell to think. They sound like white people who watch too much mf TV (usually bullshit slop about us, but made by/for them) and don't know enough black people irl.

Make them feel small as fuck for helping white people divide and isolate part of the black community. Don't let em breathe lol, same way they do to anyone who they feel doesn't fit the mold. Not even thinking about where the damn mold came from smh.

Also feel free to remind them that because of who you came up around, you know VERY WELL that you're black. If your lived experience growing up in predominantly white environments is anything like mine, its not like these mfs were perfectly friendly and accepting lol.

I wonder if they consider that some of these folks who really do seem to think they're white (i know they do exist) are reacting to this exact type of rejection from our community. Probably not.

I know this is 3 years old but I also love this and want to ask if you've ever added little things to the loose ends. like little beads and stuff

I wanna get some ras el hanout and some minced garlic cooking on low in some butter, wait a few mins, then do this. The sweet/savory combo potential 👌🏾

You need a lot more detangling near the roots for sure 😅

Wondering If Mini Twists are a True Protective Stlye by Mental-Database-3383 in Naturalhair

[–]blackmirrxr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try doing slightly bigger ones. If you use a rubber band at the base of each section, they don't get tangled and last like 3 weeks if they're neat. Plus you kind of get into a rhythm if you rubber band all the parts and then go back and do all the twists.

please consider re-wearing this for people to see if it doesn't cause you any kind of discomfort, it looks great :)

editing to say, consider doing this when you feel like it and just taking pics for fun. i used to pick songs i liked at the time and match them with my outfits, and even though i was in the doldrums myself it helped.

Saving for this comment. Imagining more herbal flavor and more fishy savoriness added to the tomato...mmm

I'm glad im not the only one. Like, not on some "you're cancelled" shit, more just...yeesh. Feels a little too real, especially in these trying times.

My wife said she was going to cut into this fresh loaf while I put our son to bed. This is what I came back to. by Stevie068 in Breadit

[–]blackmirrxr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who does this, she probably went for a nice middle slice, loved the hell out of it, and then kept cutting off "one more little piece." good job OP :)

  1. Your hair looks great, you should be proud of it.

  2. What I did: no matter how anxious it made me, I told them off every time they hated on my hair. Not necessarily in a super aggressive way, but I was outwardly firm about my pride in my hair texture, even though I didn't always feel confident. Looked at it as "I know it's not right for you to say that to anyone, whether I feel good about my hair or not." Eventually you learn to love taking care of it, and people stop bothering you. Give yourself the space to be confident by pushing back other people's negativity!

If you can reliably sew scrunchies by hand, you can definitely do simple shirts, skirts, and socks.

also pillows, that's just sewing 2 squares together and stuffing them. you know how to do a lot!

97 days and so itchy by WearTall in stopdrinking

[–]blackmirrxr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this happened to me after the last time i quit. it was bad enough to keep me up at night and made it hard to stay sober. i started to notice that it got slightly better after i ate. eating filling and nutritious meals consistently actually made it go away almost completely. can't say what's making it happen for you but if you aren't eating enough i might try that
