if you're feeling bored, do this little experiment and tag with your score! you link 10 words together that are as different as possible

ok? but who is winning in a FIGHT this isn’t about personality. Who is gonna WIN in fisty cuffs ?

Angelica can’t fucking fight. The only girl she’s ever scalped was Cynthia, and that’s cause she’s inanimate.

Angelica just acts hard cause she’s around literal babies all the time who can’t challenge her, that’s why she got her life snatched when Susie came around. DW on the other hand is about that life, she’s the youngest and smallest and still nobody fucks with her.

y’all forgetting about that time Francine simply asked D.W. a question and she ran off crying like a bitch

Hi, I’m once again coming to ask for a wee bit of help. As a teacher, I’m the one responsible for making sure my student have decent books in our classroom library. The books they like are well-worn and could use replacing. Normally this comes out of my own pocket. (I normally spent at least like $1,000 a summer on stuff for school - I’m on my first week of break and I’ve already spent $200 for geography consumables and $200 for handwriting consumables - because apparently my school doesn’t believe in such things. lol.) 

If you would like to buy me a book, please send me a direct message and I’ll get you the Amazon wishlist link! 

I in no way expect to get all these books. They are just the ones that need replacing in my classroom from being well-loved or books that were requested by my students to add to our library.

Again, no pressure. I’m just throwing it out there in case there is anyone who can help a teacher out with a book! :)

Describing Natural Hair

Glad to hear you ain’t touching folks’ hair! ;]

I happen to love the description of cloud-like. There’s something very lovely about it to my ears. As for describing natural hair as a means to depict a character and indicate race, you’ll likely want to pair that with other indicators.

For example, you can describe a PoC who has coils ‘n curls and still readers might be like “Ah, very curly-haired White person. Got it.”

But when you’ve got description like, say, “Dark cloud-like hair formed a halo around her brown face, a silver stud protruding from a short, rounded nose…” It makes it easier for readers to imagine a PoC from the get-go. There’s no sin in just stating their race either, in one way or another. See this post on introducing race & skin color.

Another way of getting a feel for describing natural hair is by looking at images of it. Hit up your pal google and get to studying all the different variations, from texture to color to curl pattern.

Natural hair comes in all mixes & shades of black, brown, blondes, reds… it can be rough, soft, a combination of soft and rough… It can be wiry, tight under the hands like a spring, coily…. this not even covering dyed, styled, & braided states and such…there’s just too much diversity in natural hair to cover in one post to be honest!

So yes, cloud-like is good. Better when paired with other indicators of race.

Also, enjoy this.

UPDATE: “Words to Describe Hair” has several descriptions for natural hair.
