For those who don’t know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times.
Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
One of the things that’s already begun to happen is the mass exodus of white people from affluent cities and neighborhoods into the hood due to covid unemployment. And thus the mass gentrification process has begun.
And it is gentrification by the way. Y’all have to kill this idea that white people who’ve fallen on harder times aren’t gentrifiers. They absolutely are.
Look at the asks I’m getting. You can litterally see where the gentrification starts.
The framing of everything is “why are you being mean to these poor, sad, destitute, white people!? They have no choice but to move into these poor neighborhoods!” The expectation is for me to feel sorry for white people who are coming to live….in a place I already live.
Once again, the neighborhoods y’all move into when you struggle are the neighborhoods we grow up in. My neighborhood is so black, dominoes won’t deliver after the sun goes down. But you know what? We’re happy and feel lucky to be here. You know why? Because we know what you don’t know and that’s that 2 streets down is the hood. And 4 streets down from that is the projects. So we’re happy to be in our little black neighborhood.
But you? You move in full of despair. You hate being here. You feel at a disadvantage to be here. You hate our culture. You hate our cookouts, our loud music, the bass at 4 am rolling through, the weed smell, the fact that we leave our dogs chained up outside, the fact that we have pitbulls, the fact that we don’t really cut the grass like that, you bemoan everything about us.
And as more of your cracker friends move in you cling together. You don’t know our names but you look at us like we’re the intruders in our own neighborhoods, you start talking shit, you start wanting to “make improvements”, and worst of all you start calling the fucking police.
So we start getting arrested, assaulted, more of you move in, our rent goes up, we move out, you’re building a “home owners association,” you’ve got us all too scared to listen to our music or cook out anymore, the rent goes up some more, we leave, more of you move in, and suddenly our little black neighborhood that wasn’t the nicest but not the worst is full of white faces. White faces that peer at the few black people left. You make them so miserable they’ll leave anyway.
And all of this? Big money hasn’t even touched it yet. You bring gentrification with you as a poor white because you bring racism with you. You bring your privilege and upwards mobility with you. You bring your “improvement” mindset with you.
So no. I don’t feel sorry for poor white people at all.
Fuck y’all. Stay out of my neighborhood and go live with the white trash.
Took me a minute to find this but I’m reblogging it to extend what I wrote earlier.
The way so many of you have tried to deracialize and dilute this topic to make poor white people comfortable is unconscionable
Call me Ben, I am 21 years old and I am an atheist transgender woman living in a country where its a big sin to be homosexual or transgeder. The sentence is 14 years imprisonment if caught or reported with evidence.
I have been living an undercover life for four years now, my family are extremely religious and wouldn’t let it slide if they get to know about me. My uncle suspected me once, he told my parents and they promised to hand me to the Feds if the suspicions a true. My mom (who is lenient)promised to send me to corrective therapy and never allowed access to the outside world until I’m sane (they see my originality as insanity).
I can’t keep this cover up for much longer, already I’m raising eyebrows and so many are watching my every step. I’m scared, and all I ask Is be what I want in a safe environment. I don’t want to face 14years jail term nor want to be looked up in a corrective therapy.
I’m calling on the LGBTQ.
I want to move out to a neighbouring country where Its not a crime to be who/what you want to be.
The money is to cover my travel expenses and living expenses until I reach a place where I can create my own income.
I just saw someone accuse a lesbian author of queerbaiting for her book series that’s chock full of canonically queer characters just because no one ever kisses or explicitly says they want to kiss anyone of the same gender in the first book, So here’s a reminder that not all queer media has to be romance, queer characters can still be good representation if they’re single, and it is literally impossible for a piece of media to queerbait with canonically queer characters.
hey neat! there are videos on their site about how to use each product, and they look fantastic.
Also using my cheekbone as a rest/pivot point for my hand is how I do my eyeliner, its much easier.
wait I’m crying
If you wear concealer/foundation/contour/etc and don’t want to mess it up by resting your hand on your face, you can use a powder puff as a barrier! You’ll still be able to brace your hand just fine, but the makeup underneath will stay looking good as new ❤️
Every time this comes up I have to reblog cause everyone deserves to be able to put on makeup if want to.
