Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Been hanging out with my mom these days and it's been a real chill time. Cooking mostly as she helps me perfect my tortilla making skills, protip is when mixing the wet stuff into the dry only add a bit at a time take out what you mixed add more wet mix that take it out and so on. Once you got it down you mix it up. Doing it like this prevents overmixing though as with family recipes I'm really hard pressed to give any actually measurements of anything other than the flour we use.

Glad Hulk Hogan dead but annoyed with all the white people on saying "I don't agree with his views but you're a piece of shit for celebrating his death" dear lord the amount of giving a shit about him is astounding. Like you're clearly defending him if you keep asking for us to respect him after he died for his family like nah no dice.

a person with white guilt will never reach the level of a self hating poc/third worlder, not even comparable.

This is gonna be a weird thing to say, but I can't trust most feminists to be "misandrists" or "man haters" responsibly.

To clarify what I mean by this: Obviously, I, of all people, get saying things like "I hate men," "I hate white people," and/or "I hate straight people" out of seeking catharsis about the grievances you have with people in privileged positions acting like shit. I'm basically the leader when it comes to complaints about cracKKKers

However, my issue is that, like I said, I can't trust mainstream feminists to do this responsibly. What I mean by that is that I can't expect them to do in a way where they're actually making a systemic critique rather than just leaning into some extremely individualistic framing of the matter that inevitably pans out as essentialist bullshit that endangers trans people and POC.

For this reason, I get skeptical a lot when I see "man-hating" content online—not because I disagree with the message itself, but because of the way this message has been exploited. I don't expect your average person who yaps on social media (or IRL for that matter) to actually be revolutionary and educated about oppression from a systemic perspective.

Told this woman I have a crush on her, and she said, "I appreciate it, but sorry, I'm straight."

I still continue to be baffled by how feminine people perceive me to be. That's all I can say about that.

Here it goes!

I kinda was a bit rushy with mixing the outro, but overall, I'm satisfied with how I made it sound.

This track is supposed to be a brief instrumental "palette cleanser" that takes on a jazzy feel in a sea of metal tracks.

It's titled "Role Reversal," and the premise is that it consists of bass doing "guitar-like" things and guitars doing "bass-like" things.

All low-end "basslines" you hear are actually an 8-string clean guitar tone. The first solo section from 00:13 to 1:19 is a bass solo.

The second solo section starting at 1:20 is guitar, yes, but the chill ambience in the background is bass and the bassline is still the 8 -string guitar.

The bass and one of the guitars are harmonizing during the outro (2:14), and the other guitar is playing a slap bassline underneath.

Edit: Updated the mix slightly

there needs to be an option to filter out american opinions from the internet. i need to get behind that great wall.

sometimes it's hard for me to empathize with people that have "lost" something like loved ones or a proper home or career, because I never had any of those things to begin with, my whole life has felt transitory, temporary, disposable, and unbelonged. it feels wrong and toxic a lot of the time for me to feel that way, and i would never go around throwing it in peoples face who are dealing with loss, but that's just what i struggle with internally. i just find myself daydreaming about what it would be like to even have something to miss.

I just finished composing the last instrumental I need to compose for the album. I'll mix and share it later.

I calculated the length, and this album will be around 48 minutes long.

I have to write some lyrics and vocal arrangements now. I decided to save that for last.

I'm excited to have finally completed the instrumentals, though!

GUESS WHO IS A FULL MEMBER OF THE PSL???

Getting the urge to watch dbz again in the latino dub prob my favorite version. Just was thinking that the series is more than just people firing energy beams at each other.

why do so many people get away with being so vocally "pro-Palestinian" and "anti-genocide" but you work at IBM/Microsoft/PwC/insert other company that directly contributes to the genocide ??? how are you so SHAMELESS?

Interview went well... the two people who interviewed me are Black. That's good. A lot of Black people work there actually. It's a hospital job, so of course, positions there are very much in demand. Apparently, I get an answer in about a week. They seem to value my referral's words quite well, too. I'm still applying for other jobs in the mean time. Though I do think my chances are greatly increased because of networking, I still got doubts!

I hate how living in the “ghetto” is both something people will discriminate against while also wanting to act like they grew up in it. What sparked this thought was hearing two pasty foreign teens say, “why you lowkey ate with that?” I remember when talking like that would make whites think you were mentally deficient and now they do it all the time while acting like they grew up in the projects even though most of them live in the nicest suburbs.

I've consumed so many beans this week and I'm already soaking more for tomorrow. 20 bucks for a large bag it just makes sense to base my diet around this I get some veggies on the side but other wise it bean town babee

Seeing white Americans hating HOA is nice but attributing it to sexism (Karens) instead of their own racist ass practices does make me angry ngl. Not gonna defend either but gonna enjoy watching them fight

Despite this, I still just thugged it out and went on the walk anyway, and it was nice. I'm not gonna let him get to me. Really, it seems like a burnt toast theory moment because now I feel even more inclined to do stellar on this job interview, which I was already feeling pretty confident about. I'm about to go 1000% in! As soon as I get this job, I'm workin' and stackin', and I'll try to find somewhere else. There are some specifically BIPOC and queer-friendly spaces maybe. I'll reach out to queer comrades where I live and see if they know a place.

Used last of my plasma monies for gas, still no update on what's gonna happen on my mom's truck. Gonna go for another donation tomorrow, just need to make sure to bring more water with me. Damn plasma place's water fountain has been down for a month it seems, like you're draining us dry already at least have the decency to make sure there's water around. I will say being stuck so many time with that big ass needle has very much gotten me over any fear of sharp objects now or blood

Gonna touch grass while it's sunny today...
