When I was, I don’t know, nine or younger?
I used to think that “X-Men” represented, like “Ex-Men”
Like they used to be men, but then they turned into mutants.
Which is one of my least awful uninformed theories.
Did you guise know that NEON is actually a placeholder title for my magical girl story?
And that it stands for NEO-Nineties, which is the intended fashion/tech/names aesthetic?

“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”
“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”
“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”

oh yes… the War on Drugs started out of racism— the U.S government banned opium in order to get rid of Chinese immigrant workers in the United States. The drug war has always been based on racism and pure hatred for people of color. To this day, the War on Drugs is still very much a war on POC communities.

Alternately titled; “I’ve been getting a lot of college application oriented asks:”
I guess it’s college application season? Kind of? Idk. I was more of a “LOL WAIT TIL THE LAST MINUTE” application type. I am a “wait til the last minute” everything type. (#As long as it gets done by the deadline mentality, ftw.)
But a handful of peeps have asked me about my application/personal essays, so rather than keep sending them off over fanmail, I’m just going to make a masterpost, mkay? I’m not going to find the final draft because that’s logged away in the asscrack of my old email account folders, but this is like the second closest to final— it just hadn’t been edited for length, yet.
Actual essays below the cut

seekingwillow replied to your post: A Little girl, 3 yrs. old picked up by a man driving a gray car, license plate: Quebec 72B 381. Canada. Reblog this. It could save her. The Kidnapping is recent.
Are you sure? I’m sure I’ve seen this about before - debunked as urban legend. Right down to licence plate.
Ahaaaa.
Recent like 2009 hoax, recent.
Thanks for pointing that out!
CNN profiles Pace artist, Fred Wilson, and looks at how his career has been built by challenging people to “rethink history”…read more HERE.
He came to my school to speak to us and showcased some of his work.
It was greaaatttt.
One of my favorite speakers to be honest.
This is what he basically does; he goes to museums, go through their stuff and show case them in a way that really does make you stop and think. Whether it be like the above or when he writes descriptions/information of the works in a satirical way it’s, when I say thought provoking I mean, thought provoking.For one of his first personal galleries he made a “fake” museum and hung up art from tribes he bought, of course, and for one of the descriptions for them it said something along the lines of, “Stolen from some tribe in Africa.”
At face value that seems harsh but think about it.
What are museums really comprised of?
Some of the viewers actually thought he was serious or that his mini fake museum was legit. It brought up this idea of his that led him to doing what he does now.
Anyways, what he does is great and he’s a pretty cool and sweet guy
with awesome facial hair, look at it.
THAT IS FASCINATING AND AMAZING *A*
