After receiving $30K I went live to share the news with my community. I didn't go to sleep until after 8 a.m. our first day here that's why no one saw me.
I am NOT an introvert.
I am NOT afraid of the students here. They have all treated me with respect.
I was NOT starving.
I regularly stream 12-24 hours without napping or eating.
I'm younger than I look and older than what has been reported, but my age has no relevance on my ability to stream and I have proven that.
I am NOT fragile.
To everyone who criticized Kai for inviting this frail old lady to Streamer University...
"Yo Mama!"
Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
โYou know I'm seeing a little bit of-
โWhy can't you love everyone for all skin tones?โ and โwhat if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, โWhat is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?โ
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come ๐คโ

My (bisexual) boyfriend likes walking at night because itโs cooler, but lately he noticed women crossing the street when they see him comingโฆ or stopping to let him pass first.
He asked me, โDo I look scary?โ
I told him, โYouโre a 6โ3โ man walking behind women in the darkโฆ respectfully, you could look like a Disney prince and weโre still checking our location sharing.โ
This man got weirdly quiet.
Today he came home wearing flip flopsโฆ a neon pink fanny packโฆ holding a bottle of water like heโs training for a mall walking championship.
I just stared at him.
He shrugged and said,
โIf women are going to assume Iโm dangerous anywayโฆ Iโm at least going to look bisexual.โ ๐ญ
