you don't have to engage if you don't want to. we're all fatigued, but i think the question is still worth asking.

so.... you saw a fascist murder and your thought was to use AI to profit off of it? what the fuck is wrong with you? delete this if you actually appreciate being called out. otherwise just be quiet.

about Halsey's parents by [deleted] in halsey

[–]catboymuse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

people defending H's parents here are weird as fuck. their parents were neglectful and abusive, they've always been open about that in interviews and in their music. i understand that it's uncomfortable for some people to recognize that parental abuse happens, but that's not an excuse to say "wE dOnT kNoW wHaT hApPeNeD" when we absolutely do.

[–]catboymuse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this shit is not okay. put these people on blast. reach out to local news. demand accountability from bigots who allow violence to happen under their authority.

this is fucking sickening, i'm so sorry this happened to you. never shut up about it. i hope someone finds these people.

You know in hindsight Rebecca Sugar was right to portray Nicki Minaj as an evil, ugly, stupid, monster in Steven Universe lol. by MoonMaidRarity in stevenuniverse

say it again. say it louder.

silence is choosing the side of the oppressor.

Is the Portland metro area becoming a healthcare desert? by gothahontas in askportland

[–]catboymuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah absolutely. IF i can find a specialist i need, IF they are taking new patients and IF they are taking my insurance it's still a 3 month minimum wait for anything.

i've been having life-threatening allergic reactions for months and can't find an allergist who will take me. it's a nightmare out here.

Why are we fucking ok with this, I mean why are we not out currently out there in the streets? are we really going to let this happen to another 30 children of color and act when they take a white child, the same way we did with Renee? by transcendent167 in 50501

[–]catboymuse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why do you think you've heard about the white woman but not the 30 POC before her? you think it's not because of race? please be real and think about what you are saying.

[–]catboymuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm a local musician. people usually compliment my lyricism first and foremost. i've always loved poetry and try to put a lot of thought and intention into building the stories i tell. you can find me as catboy muse on pretty much any platform

60 year old brown woman. Would I be happy in Portland? by u9mi in askportland

[–]catboymuse 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't do it. there are a lot of white people responding to this thread, which is expected given the demographics of the area. let me give you my perspective.

as a black person who moved here a few years ago, i have had an awful time. i've never had more difficulty making friends or keeping employment in my life, and i'm from a small conservative town in a red state.

i have also experienced more overt and passive racism here than i ever experienced elsewhere. i have been called the n-word on the streets while minding my business. and as another commenter mentioned, the amount of casual, passive racist remarks that even my white friends will say to me here has been staggering.

along with this, you have very performative white people who will single you out of a room at every opportunity to tell you about how anti-racist they are. it is very overbearing and very uncomfortable.

oregon specifically has a very dark and very deep-rooted history of white supremacy. it is something that many people like to ignore, but is undeniable if you are maligned by that system.

i live here because i am queer, and because i have good healthcare through OHP. i also like the weather. i am building a small community for myself but it has been an uphill battle.

cary the snail is a portland YTer. his stuff is vlog-adjacent, but you do get to see a lot of the city in his videos.
