FB is BS

Facebook has so many aspects wrong with it and I have loathed it since the beginning.

Someone said we need to dismantle patriarchy but not go to matriarchy because male virgins are sacrificed... Um, where did you get that from, my guy???

Here was my response: Lesley Tiyesha Phillips Yeah, no. Matriarchal cultures DO NOT SACRIFICE MEN. Check out the Tuareg peoples. I believe the Himba. And several American indigenous cultures. Some of the Polynesian, Samoans, etc. Matriarchal means centering those who are vulnerable in a society: the young, the old, and the disabled. Most of the sapient mammals such as whales, lions, hyenas, elephants, and many others are matriarchal. They also don't sacrifice their males. The ancient Celtic folks(Irish, Scottish, and Welsh) were mostly matriarchal as well.

I am so fed up of this platform and it's why I left and removed my membership from several groups and wish to join no new ones.😒

My webcomic is featured on The Duck Webcomics!

Deconstructing One's Identity

As a Black Xtian, though I grew up as a church kid: VBS, Sunday School, the whole nine yards, our parents encouraged reading and learning as much outside the faith. 

Our beliefs were to ground us and to lean on, but, we were encouraged to think for ourselves, think critically, not take all of the Bible literally, and which books were contextually to be taken symbolically. 

I have been going through deconstruction myself and getting back to my Blackness and my Caribbean identity more and more as I've gotten older.

Last Day of 2025!

It's days like today I'm annoyed with being a neurodivergent adult. Other days, I accept it. Some days, I resent it. But I always see it more as a blessing the older I get. 

Job hunting is a lie now

This was my response to a web cartoonist asking us how was the job hunt in our countries: 

Job hunting in the US is awful! Everything they say is a damn lie: if you're already employed, it's easier to move up = LIE, if you have the qualifications listed, you have a foot in the door = LIE, if you attend this type of school, you will be a worthy job candidate = LIE. I worked at my college alma mater for several years, in different job positions and was even a supervisor at one point, and applied in strategic ways: I applied to teach at my high school alma mater, which was one of my college's satellite locations, and they told me they already had someone even though they had put up a job notice online. My resume also sat for 2 YEARS in another pile(on their database) when I applied to work at another campus I was familiar with because I attended their book fair events often. Now I'm home trying to build my own business.

Solidarity in comfort

Found an artist on Tumblr and learned they struggle with health and this gives me comfort. Not in a 'misery loves company'(never got this concept) sort of way, but more that as chronically sick creatives, we are surviving in a world that disrespects our creativity and dishonors our disabilities.
