Okay so I'm still a teenager, and I already feel hopeless about racism I'm black obvs, and I thought Id accepted how hopeless the situation is but I can't help but feel upset. And it just makes me cry, because I can't change my skin tone and I can't make people perceive my skin tone differently.

Even people I thought were my friends have this subconscious bias of me, they think I'm dumber, more aggressive, meaner. I just don't get it and I'm tired. No matter how much logic and reasoning you give a racist, nothing ever changes. Even those of you reading this who think you're not racist, if you look deep enough, you will find racism. Me included. No one is safe from it. But being a black woman, one of the most hated races is just, idk. With black men, at least they can ditch their blackness by prioritising their identity as men, but being black and a woman is like, it's a whole seperate category that I can never escape from. I can't just ditch being black and stick with woman, because Ill be shunned by women who see me as rough and loud off the getgo. And I can't ignore my identity as a woman to embrace my blackness because misogynoir is very much real in the black community.

I love being a black woman, I truly do, but when simple videos of black babies having fun, or black women commenting on the mundane draw hundreds of racist comments. Seeing a surge in Japanese people who have never even once spoken to a black person say they're scared of black people. Listening to my own friend tell me his entire group of friends dislike black women in particular, not the men no but the women. Black men too hate black women, it just gets fucking tiring. I wish I lived on a planet of only black women and I'm finding it increasingly harder to stay full of love and see the best in people because truly you never know who's a racist. It's more than just being afraid of what people think, people are KILLED for their skin tone. Not to mention I live in Scotland. They're friendly over here, but you can absolutely sense that they view you differently. I'm so tired. I can't even try rely on escapism in media because there will always be either a racist caricature or the darker skinned character is barbaric/strong, or they're just plot fodder and never important.

I'm just tired. And that's why it pisses me off when people dismiss racism in Asian media because there are real people like me who suffer the consequences of this racism and know there is NOTHING they can EVER do about it.

Sorry a bit of a rant but I truly have no where else to go I'm on my last straw lol

ok so my best friend is friends with a girl since highschool. i know this girl too since i was also in the same school as them.

and basically this girl has BPD and maybe bipolar disorder. she’s really NOT mentally well and my bsf is thinking of cutting ties with her because it impacts her negatively. she’s just scared of feeling guilty and that her friend will think she’s being abandoned.

i told my bsf that she definitely cut ties with her friend, because i know it’s not her friend’s fault, but damn it’s so exhausting for my bsf bc everytime she says smth or do smth she gotta walk on eggshells all. the. time.

how can you even tell someone who has such mental disorder that you’re breaking friendship with them? should she cut ties fr or is it too mean ? would YOU cut ties with someone because of their mental illness even if deep down u know its not their fault?

i’m demanding advices bc her friend is suicidal and im scared if my bsf tells her « bye », her friend will attempt and it’ll cause pain and anxiety to my bsf

Most of my bookmarks disappeared does anyone know how to fix this? Cuz i had like hundreds of them now missing

Im also feeling like im turning insane
Need help how to get rid of it

have wavy-curly hair like 2b-2c hair, i was planning on getting a shag but i'm not sure. i need a haircut that would give my hair volume, since my hair's kinda thin. hair dye recs too please!!

Who are characters that are labeled as straight or just never identified that make you question whatever you’re reading is actually not just a hidden bl/gl

Talking about anime fandoms specifically, I'm honestly wondering if they know how crazy and toxic their fandom is. I'm wondering if they're aware of how their characters get tiwnkified. I know some of them do interact with their fandom but I wonder if they see those TikToks of Cosplayers roleplaying giving birth or whatever rainbow dash jar thing may be going on.

I think i read it on bilibili back in like 2022 or sum, they were like transported into some horror game(?) or like novel or something and the ml seemed like he knew more about where they were than he let on the mc had like brown hair and a yellow hoodie and was like super smart or like super strong or sum shit and one of them was really cheerful while the other was gloomier(?) i rmr one scene with like a jiangshi (chinese ghost with the paper on its head).

Also, if anyone knows a list with old bilibili stuff would be much appreciated

Have you heard about the upcoming live adaptation for Painter of the Night? What are your thoughts on it?

Here’s mine: NO FUCKING WAY ARE THEY DOING A LIVE ADAPTATION IN THAT SHIT STORY.

I mean, plot wise it’s okay-ish, definitely a part of the toxic BL’s. I personally hate that they’re making a live action for that when there’s so much more that deserves attention and has a better one to feed to the minds of the masses. I dislike the fucking culture where someone ends up falling for their rapists. Like I have so much more to say but somehow this news is making me so incredibly sad and disappointed.

do you guys have any bitching recs ?

Personally, for all the times I've read BL that has crazy black, red flags. I would never date single one of them.

I like to read stories that has crazy characters, I just like the thrill, intensity and fun but if we're talking irl... That's different.

I'm just glad this is fiction and we can do whatever we want

i usually prefer to read late at night but i wanna know if theres any early morning or midday people here too or even fellow night enjoyers like me（￣へ￣）

Quick one guys, so I’ve been looking for a bl manga where the top reversed role even once for the bottom. I think I’ve read one but I can’t remember the name it was a good manga though

the orc's bride. i couldn't survive past 2 pages

For me its the blinks.. no hate to them but MAJORITY are very annoying i cant tell if they are ragebaiting or plain stupid

My entire life i have struggled with memory loss, and it didn’t really cause that many issues until around highschool, and now I feel it’s declining even more.

I can’t remember to do homework, I cant remember the stuff I’ve learned for more then 1-3 weeks ish, i cant remember to go to a teachers class in the morning when they ask me too, and my focus is declining horribly too. On top of that, Im becoming more unhappy, I hate going to school as it is, my grades suck, and idk I wish I could just drop out and hole up in my house forever.

Im also stuck in this loop where Im super sad, anxious, mad, and all those negative emotions when thinking about going to school, but when I actually get there, I realize it’s not so bad and all my friends make it so much better and I enjoy seeing them and I get super happy but it’s just so draining to constantly be feeling this way, Im sick of it.

Also, regarding memory problems too, it’s the smaller things that really make it bad, like I promise friends to do something for them, like make a drawing or make them stickers or pins, but I forget like a minute later even if they remind me a million times. it gets annoying for all of us.

Im not sure the cause of this all and the only thing I’ve been diagnosed with is adhd but I feel like I’ve been feeling a lot shittier these days more then normal and my memory sucks ass, but nothing major has really changed idk :(

I also have rlly bad constipation and stomach issues sighhhhh

Has there been a manga/hwa/hua or even webnovel that illustrated this for you? Something that resonated with your struggles or exposed you to the struggles of others?

Could also be: a game, anime/ show, movie, book, etc.
