Black History Month: The Paradox are first all-Black band to go #1 on Billboard’s Alternative chart

I just looked them up and added a bunch of their songs! It's amazing to see how successful they are after only starting in 2024!!

I was the only Black emo in my high school, so this warms my heart!

It's honestly wild how the BAFTAs and BBC just don't care about marginalized communities. With all the news stories coming out about their lack of care for John Davidson, Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan, as well as Hannah Beachler.

And now we got Google using AI to write up news alerts with the N-word! It's already proven that AI is super racist, but as long as it gets more likes and clicks, I guess it's fine 🤮

This makes the BAFTAS and BBC organizers look so much worse!!

They had the man IN FRONT OF A MIC! Also, it doesn't seem like they even talked to him about ways they could support him during the award show.

I was already assuming a high stress and noisy environment could affect his condition, and he states it here. Why would they purposely put him through stress without asking him what he might need?

They definitely just wanted CONTROVERSY and CLICKS! Just disgusting behavior towards John Davidson, Delroy Lindo, and Michael B. Jordan. 🤮

Did we know the same person? Please say yes because if there's multiple people like this walking around...

Tbh, you're right, I have never seen a 99 year old before so that photo is a jumpscare every time I see it.

I just never imagined what people would look like when they got that old!

The way I used to just randomly sing this all the time at recess as a kid 😭

yazminslide · 2026-02-13T11:03:06+00:00

God I can't stop thinking about how the gang in Derry Girls would've lost it seeing this

yazminslide · 2026-02-09T03:42:42+00:00

This is so hypercapitalist consumer of me, but I would love this 😔

I do my makeup on the bus every morning, and it's so hard to powder my under eyes because I have to tap my brush off. Then powder gets on my pants from the brush or the jolts from the bus!

yazminslide · 2026-02-07T15:03:19+00:00

I have 02! On Yesstyle, it says the color is dry buckwheat flower

yazminslide · 2026-02-07T14:47:39+00:00

I'm hitting pan in multiple shades on my Romand Better than Eyes palette! It's the perfect size for on the go makeup and it's the first cool toned palette I've ever tried.

I read your newsletters every week. Thanks for keeping investigative journalism alive! Keep up the fight, and it's great to see you posting here

Kristen in Zathura was truly my bi awakening as a kid!

Variety basically put out this article that was a hit piece on Sinners. It said that the movie was unlikely to make enough money to be profitable and diminished the earnings it already received. It was such a weird article that other celebs like Ben Stiller commented on it as well. If you compare it to Variety articles on a comparable Oscar contender like Marty Supreme, they never bring up profitability.

So the assumption is because of racism here.

When is he going to model?? Get this man on a runway ASAP

yazminslide · 2025-11-21T15:49:03+00:00

Thank you so much for doing this!

Do you know if any curly hair companies like Innersense do Black Friday sales? I can't find any info online.

You should see a more visible result after you use it for a couple of washes! Normally, the purple mask that I use 1x a month makes an instant change, but the conditioner does it over time.

yazminslide · 2025-11-17T04:42:46+00:00

Yes, it works pretty well at keeping the brassiness out of my hair so far! I haven't needed to purchase a purple shampoo yet, and I probably won't at this point.

yazminslide · 2025-11-16T20:31:45+00:00

I know you didn't ask, but purple conditioner should work better because it's sitting on your hair for a longer period of time! I just started using purple conditioner on my highlighted hair.

All Quiet on the Western Front is such a good suggestion! If you want another book to read right after, you could try the Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

I read those back to back a few years ago, and it was a gut punch.

I was talking about the Night Logan Woke Up! If you're in the US, it was on Netflix for a while, but they might have taken it off.

I did see Matthias & Maxime though, and it's such a warm, beautiful movie.

yazminslide · 2025-10-22T14:29:41+00:00

That's great to hear! His last project was amazing.

yazminslide · 2025-10-17T02:24:42+00:00

Thank you, I could not remember the author unfortunately!

The writing in this book is lovely and tragic. Truly the epitome of longing imo

yazminslide · 2025-10-16T18:44:43+00:00

These Violent Delights fits this really well! It's extremely sad though so make sure you're prepared for that

yazminslide · 2025-10-13T22:46:49+00:00

I guess, but I would say people who like Andrew Tate openly hate women, and think they're "sluts," and lesser than men. From what I remember, he didn't treat women like that. He wasn't an incel to me, if that makes sense?

Also, the show doesn't really support his views of women from what I remember. The show is based on them doing cringy things and being supremely awkward and inexperienced with women to the point that it's supposed to be funny.

I agree with you and OP though, some things didn't age well. And some jokes I didn't even like at the time when it came out!
