by the age of nineteen i had managed to live almost successfully in two different worlds. it was successful until these worlds began to collide.
one world was real and one world was somewhat of a fantasy.
my real world was the one that followed societal norms and my mother’s expectations. my…

The team at Studio Lebedev designed the ‘Stubus’ Watch to be lightweight and waterproof. The device is banded together with high quality leather and has a circular glass face over the wood rings. At first glance, the piece looks like a small cut of a tree trunk, but if you look closer, you’ll find the second hand and the hour hand cut into the wood. A complicated device, hidden in a simple object.
I need this because of reasons

Ummm well i started drinkin when I was fifteen and by the time I was sixteen I was a full blown alcoholic. I got in my first drunk driving accident the summer after I turned sixteen an totaled my friends car. I started messing around with pills when I was seventeen but decided they were to expensive. I dabbled with cocaine through out my associates degree. I abused the fuck out of my adderal since I figured out you could tweak on it. I had a bad problem with crack/cocaine when I was twenty and went to my first rehab when I was twenty one for alcohol, crack, and lortabs. Got out and stayed clean or maybe four days before relapsing again. Went right back to booze and crack then was introduced to heroin and instantly feel in love. Got hooked on the old boy and tried to get clean like five fucking times and went through numerous detoxes but could kick it. Finally I went back to inpatient rehab and had an amazing councilor who honestly saved my fucking life. I have oded on alcohol too many times and opiates a couple of times. I have watched my friend die and was on the way too killing myself. I have been clean for about a hundred days now which is the longest amount of sobriety I have had in nearly eight years. That’s the short version of my addiction. I hope to god that I can stay clean this time but like the book says I can only take it a day at a time. Some days it’s really ducking hard and I just want to cry and drive till I find some and then some days I am lucky and I can go almost the whole day with out thinking about it.
Oh right I forgot only white kids can be racist. Yeah fuck that bull shit. I grew up in south Dallas. Do you have any idea what it is like to be the only white kid in your neighborhood? The only white kid in your class? One of the only white kids in the whole school? I was constantly picked on. Because I got good grades all the kids ganged up on me and told the teacher I was cheating. No one would talk to me. No one would play with me on the play ground. I’m so fucking tired of people talking about white privilege. Yes some white people are ignorant. Some choose to preten that people of other ethnicity’s don’t exist. Oh and guess what mother fuckers race is a social construct meaning we fucking created it. There is no such thang as race. Basically my point is give the same test to black kids and you will have the same fucking results. Bigotry is bigotry no matter the color of the person.The classic doll color test performed with a white child, complete with the parent’s
excusesreactionsThe little girl even says she picked the white figures as the good child because it “looks like me” and the dark girl as bad because “she’s dark”. When Soledad O’Brien asks the girl’s mother about it, we’re met with quite a few colorblind based excuses and “well, we just don’t talk about race”.
“We don’t talk about race!!”
And your kid is saying racist shit regardless.
That should fucking tell you something, lady.
But of course, it won’t. I bet you cash money she won’t change a thing, continuing to use that color blind bullshit.
This is why the whole idea of not discussing race with white children is bullshit. No, it won’t “taint” them. When you don’t talk about it, they still form opinions — racist ones — because they don’t know any better, so to speak. Then one day they grow up into adults that are, guess what, still racist. As Black folks, we pretty much all had “the talk” as kids/young people; our existence in this society dictates that we do, because racism is a part of our lives at an incredibly young age. Colorblind ideology has been proven to be toxic as blatant racism. And little white kids can be just as racist as their parents.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOP..!!
we dont talk about race with kids but a small child ran up to my professor’s wife and said she had a terrorist baby.
we dont talk about race with kids but white children were encouraged to go to lynchings to see white supremacy. because (trigger warning: graphic details) jesse washington, whose charred body is floating around on tumblr posts, had his teeth yanked out by white children so they could sell them as lynching souvenirs.
we dont talk about race with kids but kids clearly PICK UP ON RACE. many POC parents dont explicitly discuss race but clearly, white ppl, kids pick up on it!!
