“What you are now witnessing is footage never before seen by civilized humanity: a lost world in South America. Lurking in the shadow of majestic Paradise Falls, it sports plants and animals undiscovered by science.”

Gimme summa dat...

today this white girl asked me why my hair is so curly and i said im black and she told me to say african american

i went to a mostly white school and this boy got mad that the teacher called on a black girl instead of him so he yelled “fine pick the african american!” and sis yelled back “i’m Haitian motherfucker!” i was like

why is it so difficult for ppl to distinguish between "this person is a literal bigot and should not have a platform" and "this person is not actively malicious but has accidentally done a couple harmful things that should be addressed" and "this person has made a few poor taste jokes several years ago but has since grown as a person" and "this person simply just didn't know the 'proper' term for something"

fuck it adding on what i said in the tags

How many times can the same thing break your heart?

As long as you love it.

“as long as you love it” this really hit me

Adonis, from “Persons”, Selected Poems

20+40+7+8=75

7+8 = 15, so you leave the five and carry over the one. 1+2+4=7.

75.

25+50=75

Subtracted 2 from 27 and moved it to 48

I break up the 27 into 20 and 2 and 5. Then add them.

48+20=68, 68+2=70, 70+5=75

This may seem convoluted but it happens quickly in my head.
