That shit is hard to absorb. Just heard something on npr. Don't tell your kids they are smart because when they fail, they feel more dejected. Tell them you like how they solved that problem.

Now, as a kid, i was constantly told i was smart. And i feel down a few times during school. And i never did well with it. It seems so intuitive. Make sure your kids feels valuable. And it's hard to shake, as a black man with black kids.

Fuck, that's a mind bender.

Quick question for y'all. I'm at work and I was talking to my supervisor (black woman) and we were talking about goals and having mentors to guide me through my career. I told her I already had a mentor and it was great that I had an older black man to help guide my career. Then she told me that it's a good idea to have multiple mentors for different perspectives. She said that she recommends that I get the complete opposite of a black man,a white woman which would give me a different perspective. So my question is how do y'all feel about that? Is it sound advice? I know she wouldn't steer me in the wrong direction but,it seems weird to me since I would rather have more mentors who look like me.

Sounds advice. For sure.

Sounds like good advice. As you say, it doesn't seem like she's trying to pull a "gotcha!" on you.

Hello, Church of the BCT. I'm back from a little jaunt across the border to Niagara Falls. It was so wonderful to walk down streets filled with an international cross section of humanity. Many languages, many colors, a fair amount of saris and hijabs and turbans. Black families clearly from the Motherland. Everyone was just there to watch some water falling over a cliff, and waste money on souvenirs. It was awesome.

And, sigh. Back to Cleveland, temporary home to the hate filled RNC.

I find out that Leslie Jones left Twitter because of hateful racists/sexists/butthurt nostalgists. On the plus side, Milo got banned.

I find out that Melania Trump stole intellectual property from Michelle Obama. And people are scrambling to find someone to blame and to defend a woman who probably didn't even want to get up on stage in the first place.

And I find out that people are actually trying to give props to Umar Johnson for being right once in his life, knowing full well that his correct statements were coated in a creamy shit covering of sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.

Whew.

I remember when notch was playing about how shitty his life was with the divorce and no friends, and people speculated it was the money. Nah dude is just an asshole.

Watching Gods of Egypt tomorrow, the shit we do for love.

Just finished watching Tarzan. Wasn't bad. It was interesting how they got over the obvious racial hurdles by not ignoring it at all. Couching it in real historical events of European conquest of the Congo and the theft of their resources.That's nothing new for the story of Tarzan, but what felt new was the inclusion of the condemnation of those perpetrators and nations involved. The context of it all, which the old school Tarzan films couldn't provide. It was kind of impressive that they had several key characters all with different motivations and cultures all wrapped up in this event, and it worked. Not completely leaning on the fantastical elements to carry the story.

To be fair, he's not wrong.

Twitter only decided to do shit because the target this time was a famous person currently in the public eye for their movie.

All kinds of garbage goes unpunished by Twitter. They just didn't want to look bad this time.

Fine. And they'll get called out on it. And more change happens. The world of everyday folks is ignored by their very neighbors. Famous people bring eyes. Some get ignored..fine. Not this time. Sounds like progresses to me..and I could give a fuck about that movie..excelsior be DAMNED!!
