Digital blackface involves White people play-acting at being Black, says Lauren Michele Jackson, an author and cultural critic, in an essay for Teen Vogue. Jackson says the Internet thrives on White people laughing at exaggerated displays of Blackness, reflecting a tendency among some to see “Black people as walking hyperbole.” Discuss

Have you ever had a mental breakdown at work ? Have you ever cried at work ?

I’m currently rewatching Making a Murderer and more or less completely forgot about the Steven Avery case over the years. I’ve been looking online and his attorney is still fighting for an evidentiary hearing. imo he didn’t do it. The state owes him a very large amount of money if he ever gets out and have done everything in their power to prevent an hearing where actual evidence is brought forward by a capable lawyer. But what does atrl think?

Well.

So theres this girl who become very popular on social media like tiktok and youtube, she is "JustPearlyThings" and her content is hateful against lgbtq people and even women. Heres a few example. Could yall report her 3 channels (JustPearlyThings, JustPearlTalk and Pearl Daily) on Youtube. Honestly her content is so stupid and trash.

I know a lot of people on this forum are gay men but hypothetically, if you had a partner or surrogate mother and you found out the baby had a disability would you want to keep them? Personally I think it would depend on the disability but I wouldn't judge anyone for their decision. Having a disabled child can come with a financial and emotional burden that many would not be able to support. Better to not have a child than for them to grow up being resented.

I'm still amazed that we have been able to use ATRL lately without 503's interfering seems like so long ago when it began I barely remember ATRL without the 503 errors. I'm still expecting them to reappear. Would you believe someone if they said we'd be using ATRL without 503's?

Something to think about I fear - adapted from a piece by Martin Niemöller

I look like a cute Asian twink in the mirror, but in pictures & video I have a puffy face and look 10 years older than my age. Why is this?

Is it? I have started cooking and drawing and writing poems and reading recently and I think maybe some points have been made about too much screen time. We should learn to love and fondle details in the world around us instead of scrolling through quick little social media posts.

Do you feel bad for the other gays whenever they say things like they would let their partner cheat on them or xyz reasons and still stay? is this a projection of themselves? If so, is there a way that some of them can be healed/fixed? What do you guys think?

Thank you Will Smith and Chris Rock (for reigniting the drama recently)

Sorry for the upcoming long block of text, but... I'd been seeing this guy for almost a month now. After 3 weeks of talking and 2 weeks from our first date, he asked me to be his boyfriend. I too thought this was pretty fast, but considering we'd been seeing each other pretty much every day I said yes. For context, we live down the street from each other and were together like 5 days a week. Over the weekend I went to the beach with him and two of his friends. I wasn't in the best mood and didn't really socialize much with them. This was my first time meeting them and I felt on the outside of all of their conversation, not to mention I wasn't in the best mood since I had nothing to eat that entire day until 5pm when we all got Chick Fil A. It was also super cold at the beach, but they're beach bums so that didn't seem to phase them. Not gonna lie, I was also a bit disappointed we spent the entire day with them since our original plans were to go eat and watch a movie alone. I felt bad for being antisocial and apologized to him later that day at my house. He said he didn't think I was in that bad of a mood and asked if I was always like that when meeting new people. I told him no, I was just extremely hungry and cold, and as he saw the night before when I met two of his other friends for the first time, I was not like that at all. The past two days I felt something was up and that he wasn't telling me how he really felt since he was taking a long time to respond to my texts and snapchats when he usually would instantly respond and message me back a lot. Today, he was supposed to come over and I was going to cook dinner for the both of us. When he got to my door, he basically told me he didn't want to continue on this relationship since that meeting with his friends left a bad taste in his mouth and he felt it was a red flag to feel this way in the honeymoon phase. I felt like it was a stupid reason, especially since he's been the one pushing this whole relationship from asking me to be his boyfriend only after a few weeks, already posting me on his Instagram, and even asking me to go to the Beyoncé concert in September. I don't really feel sad, just disappointed that the first flaw he saw in me after telling me I'm so perfect and whatever for weeks would make him want to break up with me. We had something really great going on and I was optimistic about where things were heading. So, am I in the wrong and the one who f*cked things up? Did things go way too fast and this was always bound to happen? I don't know how to feel rn, I just need advice/ opinions.

I always felt like it was an f u and slap in the face but in a nice way.. Do you ever say it to customers at your job?

Happens to me a lot. I'm latino, and it's usually non-latino who always ask me if I'm Asian or half Asian. This old Jewish woman at my job yesterday asked if I was oriental, and I had to tell her nope. I've even had some Asian people think I'm Asian too. My 23andme says I'm 59.7% Southern European (italian+spaniard) and 34% Native American so im assuming it's the native American side thats making people think I look Asian or part Asian. I've even been in Vegas a few years back and had these 2 guys say a bunch of Asian slurs to me as I walked by them, it didn't affect me because I'm not Asian but I felt really bad at how racist it was though.
