[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I'm just really curious what it means to everyone else or how y'all are deconstructing it?

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

the subject of my video is my pet chinchilla Totoro and a dissary mess of shoes with a monologue about an experience from my past layered over the Moesha background instrumental

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I really feel like a pet parent third narrative is arising from mine, especially in the way the clips of my chinchilla intersect with the rest of the film

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

they divergence happens in the unevenness of the track and video, the track goes silent and just the video and words play

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I feel like the way my voice is can be totally interpreted as different, I feel like with the video it feels very paternal even

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I think "you" is a shapeshifter- always changing based on the media environment your'e brought into #hwa6

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

in SME #2 the repeated phrase "I loved it" after the lines of the recording I think drew attention to the abstractness of the words in monologue 2 #hwa6 #voiceandattention

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

my experience as an upper class queer black man has been shaped by situations often leaving me floating in between communities or spaces where I'm "accepted" and as such sometimes I had my moments of bitchiness that was shaped by self protection and defensive concealment

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

all of high school, I don't think anybody could have put that into a movie just because of what an emotional rollercoaster it was. I feel that my story would probably make me the "hero" even though I've had plenty of "villain" moments too (i'm not perfect) #hwa6 #invisibleframe

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I think Jordan Peele's "Get Out" specifically when Chris's friend saves him in a cop car. He killed the white people trying to kill him, in the final scene a cop car arrives and we assume Chris (a black man) will be shot because that's a reality for black Americans #hwa6

The Emperor's New Groove: let's be real, Kuzco until the end of the movie was not a good emperor. Yzma wouldn't have been any better, but since Kuzco is the "good guy" the classism between the empire and the peasantry, perpetuated by him, is largely ignored #hwa6 #moranarrative

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I think I I realize how performance distorts the translated messaging of lies and digital content, I feel now that "truth" doesn't necessarily mean what's real but what is reality to different people- especially when we look at socialism #partonereflection #hwa6

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

I would say my lies (most of them) are like things I like just distorted, now some of the lies I told are completely absurd with no truth to them whatsoever #hwa6 #maybemyliesweretrue

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

it wasn't that hard to lie, I'm a pretty good liar (and storyteller) so making up fibs might come a little more easily for me- I choose statements that have either have some semblance of truth in them, or just complete absurdities #hwa6 #funhousemirrorfollowup

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

my parents never gave me a birthday cake for my birthday growing up #hwa3 #funhousemirror

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

so yeah I never actually owned a television growing up, it was just that kinda thing my parents just never bothered to get y'know? I probably haven't seen most like major popular shows #hwa3 #funhousemirror

Q HATES STEAK: CONFIRMED #hwa3 #funhousemirror

[Q @blackdiamond_su]

According to my last psychic reading, I will soon experience "major life changes" #hwa3 #funhousemirror
