I honestly don't care what you choose to wear. If you don't wear it right, I'm dragging you. If you don't wear it right and also happen to be white, I'm extra dragging you. Like when Justin Bieber had those 7 cow tails dreadlocks in his head and got mad when black people hurt his feelings. Should've stayed in your lane!

In reality, cultural appropriation is subjective, all it takes is the right person and the right execution to be considered cultural appreciation. However, in our fucked-up reality, it's only subjective when it comes to artifacts of black culture. And that's because of racism. If people who knew nothing about kimonos started casually selling/wearing kimonos, it would no doubt be called cultural appropriation. That's because it's viewed as something sacred and serious to Japanese tradition. Nothing about Black culture (not to be confused with African culture but that's a whole other debate!!) is viewed as sacred, serious or traditional because it's deeply rooted in minds universally to look down on anything and everything black (even by Africans but that's a whole other debate!!). For centuries, our artifacts have been viewed as dispensable/worthless or ignorant or just ugly...it's cool because it's "edgy" and "gritty" lmao people applaud non-blacks for appropriating black culture because in a high-key racist world, it's brave, they're wearing something dispensable/worthless or ignorant or just ugly. Look at how native american culture is treated as some sort of free-for-all, it's because for centuries white people have trampled all over the native american community and think of them as inferior, if they even think of them at all. The mindset is: "it's okay to name your football team "Redskins" because it's the "Indians", who gives a fuck about them? What they gone do? There's only like 13 of them left."

And then you just have the ultra-woke blacks who want to isolate our culture. Lmao nah.

Like I said, I ultimately don't care but if another black person does, I never dismiss their feelings. I understand their argument. I just wont be arguing along unless it's a person that I know doesn't support the community at all. Let Taylor Swift tan for too long and wear some hoops/braids/anything slightly black if she wanna! That will be a DAY!

I don't have dreams a lot so it always throws me off when I do. They're all lucid dreams btw, which is weird and tiring. But it makes my dreams feel that much more real which is why I fucking hate it. I had a dream tonight (technically today, I took a long ass nap earlier) and it was about a mass shooting. I was at a movie theater/fun house and I wasn't with anyone or watching anything, I was just there to be there. Despite the fact that something inside kept telling me to leave. For some reason, the place locks you in the building while the movie is playing and so it was pretty easy for the place to get shot up. It was very reminiscent of a book I read about a fictional school shooting where the kids were locked in the gym for a pep really and... 😐 I can't remember the name of the book bc I read it maybe a year ago, which is why I find it really weird that I'm dreaming about it now. I was the only person who survived, which I did by playing dead at first (but then I got caught and had to literally bounce off of the walls to not get hit by the bullets). The SWAT team took them out and I went home. But they're spirits kept popping up around the house. Anyways, I woke up from this hours ago but I'm still shook.

Like I mentioned earlier, I only have lucid dreams where I guess you can kind of control what's happening. Since i generally hate dreams and don't like sleeping anyway, i usually just try to wake myself up. And normally, I'd actually wake up but every now and then I'd have dreams Like this instead 😐 And they'd feel JUST like real life. Last time this happened, I dreamt that my sisters and I had a sleepover and then someone broke into my house and axed them while I escaped. I literally woke up that morning thinking that I watched my sisters die 😐 of course it took me a minute or 2 to realize I didn't but still.

I read up on tips on how to tell if I was having a dream or not so that I won't give my mind the luxury of terrorizing me like this...One of the main ones is to read something, look away, and then read it again: if you're in a dream, the text will change and if you're awake it'll stay the same. Doesn't work. I did that in this mass shooting dream and it was one of the reasons why I really thought it was real. I didnt care that I was about to die, I was just falling apart after seeing all those people get killed for no reason and didn't wanna give the shooters the satisfaction of actually succeeding. When they thought I was dead, they were celebrating getting to kill everyone. Of course my dumb ass had to fuck it up and move 💀

Anyways, my dreams are cumstains. They either torture me or make me predict random deaths. What about y'all?
