Loki: I set my alarm extra early to make sure I have enough time to lay in my bed and be angry about having to wake up.

About an hour ago, I was in Walmart looking for my conditioner because today is wash day for my hair. As I’m looking for my product, this older white lady approaches me and she says, “Excuse me, miss. Please don’t be offended by this.” And usually when white people tell me not to be offended, 9 times out of 10, whatever they are about to say is going to be offensive af.
Anyway, she follows it up with, “My husband and I just recently won our custody battle with our foster daughter and she means the world to us. She’s a beautiful African American girl and her hair looks a lot like yours. But I’m afraid because I don’t know what to do with her hair. It’s a lot different from mines and our other children and we are at a total loss. I’ve tried looking up the YouTube videos and my husband went to the braiding shops so they can teach him how to properly braid her hair, but he’s still pretty new and it will be a while before he gets used to it. Do you have any tips you can give me? If you don’t have the time, it’s okay, really! I just needed a little advice because I want her to look beautiful.”
Y’all. swear I almost started crying on aisle 6. So for the last 30 minutes, I spent my time talking to her and what products to use and how to properly detangle and comb her hair with the proper tools and what not to do with natural hair. And I showed her a bunch of easier to follow natural hair tutorials on YouTube and saved them for her. (I also had to create a YouTube account for her so she could save it for later.) but omfg, she was so sweet, and I could tell that she listened to every single thing I had to say and she took little notes on her little notepad.
And what really filled my heart was the fact that her husband actually taking classes from African braiding shops. And she showed me a picture of him wearing a little sweater vest and loafers in a little shop surrounded by beautiful black women showing him how to braid black hair and even the lady he’s braiding on is guiding his hands. And omfg. Bless these old white people and their black daughter who I know have new loving parents because they are willing to step out of their comfort zone just to make her feel and look beautiful.
I really hope our paths cross again one day, Mrs Cicilia. 💖💕
RE: talking to conservative parents, I’ve found a good method to de-worming their brains is to not get riled up, just act a little bored and remind them “the news cycle only shows salacious stuff. They want you to be mad and scared because it makes you easier to control. Think about it for a second. Do you REALLY believe everything they have to say?” Or “you can’t believe everything you read or see on the internet. Remember, they earn money every time you click on their video.”
And especially when my dad starts getting huffy about Prices or Artists He Doesn’t Like, I tell him “that’s the beauty of capitalism. they have a product to sell and the freedom of expression if you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it.”
Might not work for everyone but dad’s KRYPTONITE especially is saying “but dad that’s capitalism! You LOVE capitalism!” And he either has to stop complaining or admit capitalism is bad and so far I haven’t lost
I might just be stating the obvious but…I think at the end of the movie Gamora could understand Groot because she had now spent enough time with him that her brain can somehow translate what he’s saying right? So when Groot says “I love you guys” he isn’t actually speaking those words but we as the audience can now understand him because of how long we’ve been watching
Gotg 3 was amazing and here’s why
1) It filled the void left by the avengers. A lot of the content since endgame hasn’t been anything special, just the title character and their supporting side characters with a few cameos thrown in. But the guardians work so well together. They feel like a real found family and I think that’s what I’ve been missing. Characters who really love and care and support each other.
2) It’s not interested in progressing the “overall mcu story”. There was no mention of Kang, or the multiverse and there were no cameos (not even in the end credits scenes). This movie’s only purpose was to finish the trilogy in a cohesive and satisfying way. And imo it succeeded. It kept the charm of the first two movies and went deeper into emotional depths while also having genuinely funny moments. It was so refreshing to see a mcu movie that had a clear vision of what it wanted to be and that was also made by people who care about the characters and story
