If they're insulting darker skinned folks then we have a problem but outside of that, it's better to just leave them be. You will never see eye to eye lol
As a general beauty standard: white skin = good, dark skin = bad. The majority of them don't see that as something bad and will not change their minds so I don't understand why y'all argue with them. That's their beauty standard ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
Before when I talked about how awful pregnancy seemed, my mum would be like "my pregnancies weren't so bad, maybe you'll be like me" (ever the optimist, that one) but now every new awful symptom I tell her about she's like "yeah that sounds about right" ๐ซฉ
Not feeling the urge to projectile vomit today but I can barely eat anything ๐
I have two bites and my stomach is like hmmm that's enough. But then if I go a while without eating I feel sick.
Honestly the only body part is shave is my armpits and only in the summer bc I hate the idea of sweat getting trapped there. Everything else is a free for all lol
Just found out that sorrel (hibiscus juice) is not recommended during pregnancy after I had just downed a glass but also if that's true then I feel like the whole Caribbean would be in trouble ๐
Living in Japan can be so freeing sometimes.
Headed to the supermarket with my new growth looking crazy and legs ashy af but it's fine bc no one knows what black people supposed to look like anyway ๐
My parents had me in their 30s and my paternal grandmother still died like 2 months before I was born. Only person in my family to have never met her ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
Life happens.
Got 7 years with my paternal grandfather before he died.
Only my maternal grandmother (currently 93) ever "knew the adult version of me" and she only recognises me some of the time anyway.
