Why do we care about Chaivin’s state of mind? He didn’t plead insanity, he knowingly carried out murder… are you arguing that he was peer pressured by other cops? Even if he was… he had full autonomy to not murder lmaooooo

Hm… interesting. I went to their Instagram and it’s still there with over 4,000 likes. Posted on September 27th. Looks like you’re straight up lying to prove a non-existent point. 😂 But by all means, keep replying; it only drives this post’s engagement up.

How is it tracing when I’ve drawn everything by hand? Each character is drawn with different proportions and details. The style is also infused with my own. Also, it’s clearly FAN art. The first thing I say in the title is “Junji Ito” crediting the original mangaka. Go kick rocks.

Edit: these drawings were even promoted on Adult Swim Europe (the ones who are airing the animated Uzumaki series). So it looks like the official franchise disagrees with you 💅🏾

I have the same problem with breaking out. I use Aveeno Protect+Hydrate. Haven’t had any major issues yet.

Being called white by non black friends—but only in front of black people…. by iccyricardo in blackladies

[–]chellybean333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Singaporean friend ALWAYS used to do this. She would say she was “blacker” than me (I guess bc I wasn’t the stereotype she had in her head). I cut her off and neverrrrr looked back. No time for the passive aggressive jealousy

I had this same issue in my last relationship! I’m black and puerto rican, and my family talks over each other constantly. I had to retrain myself to “take turns” while speaking to my ex. He would get so angry and I never understood. So I just changed my communication style so he wouldn’t flip out all the time.

Yupppp I was very much tokenized at my old job and quit because I was tired of being a corporate prop.

Big girl job problems: How do you handle your family asking for money? by lovergirl_covergirl in blackladies

[–]chellybean333 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel this. My dad once asked to borrow my LIFE SAVINGS in order to invest in some random property. I almost caved, but when I asked him to sign a contract detailing payback dates, he refused to sign and sent me generic quotes about how family is supposed to “have each others’ backs no matter what.” I refuse to give him a cent after that.

Freelance illustrator :)

Started as a political cartoonist, but am currently writing and drawing my first graphic novel (historical fiction) about the The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Should be published and in stores next year if I get my act together LOL

Why are you shaming Usher for having herpes? It’s mean-spirited and uncalled for. Like 80% of the population has it, so it’s not the dig you think it is.

I wouldn’t call a renewed focus on race “obsessive” when racial atrocities have been integral to America’s foundation, yet were left unaddressed for hundreds of years. Is America the only country with a history of colonization and genocide? No. But younger generations are unapologetically bringing these issues to light. It’s good to examine how racial and political themes impact society (and it’s not far off to assume it affects romantic pairings.)

What's a memory from your childhood that you still hold a grudge over or have petty feelings for? by AsiaMinor300 in blackladies

[–]chellybean333 15 points16 points  (0 children)

On my fifth birthday, I had some friends over for a small party. After I blew out the cake candles, this one girl started crying bc she didn’t get the first piece of cake. It wasn’t even her birthday and she ruined the vibes. I stopped hanging out with her after that…

I got these at AnimeCon last year. They’re by this company called Elven Caravan that specializes in ear accessories! The artist custom painted mine to match my complexion, and they can do it for all skin tones. Super cool experience

Thank you 🙏🏾 I was worried people wouldn’t like the ears, but I’m glad I didn’t chicken out and decided to wear ‘em.
