I’m re-reading KotLC and just realized (I think) that the only collective member we don’t have the identity of is Wraith

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he's about to do is extreme--he says so. he speaks calmly, but he's clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says "free palestine" normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.

Sometimes I have to play a fun little game of “Is this fanart of Jesus Christ (bible), Odysseus(Greek), or Jonathon Sims(The Magnus Archives)?”

be critical of yourself in a way that lifts you up, which means: catch yourself when you're thinking mean things about yourself / correct yourself when you're imagining what negative opinions others might have about you / encourage yourself to do better next time in a gentler and more optimistic way / never strive for more without acknowledging how far you have already come. it's okay to be nice to yourself.

Mr Jonny Sims sir, who is Rosie named after? Because I try to google her last name and all it shows up is house of leaves
Look, man, cards on the table, I don't remember what surname I gave Rosie. The wiki says Zampano, so I guess, yeah, I gave her the name of the fictional writer in House of Leaves.

i dont see anybody talking enough about drake ai generating tupac's voice. there's no clearer way to prove kendrick right, that he has no respect for or comprehension of the culture. i'm white and i'm mad
y'all remember this book rec getting passed around a while ago? this is tupac's aunt.
tupac shakur is the son of afeni shakur and the nephew of assata shakur. his mother afeni left a prominent/leadership role in the black liberation party after she was separated from her children and unlawfully detained for 8 months. tupac's early life was marked by federal surveillance and targeted police brutality, the strain of which absolutely had an impact on his mother's struggle with addiction. his aunt assata was forced to flee to cuba and has not returned since.
tupac was the original "conscious" rapper and was so influential in part because he was a member of this Black political dynasty. borne of the people who led the militant arms of the Black liberation movement.
i literally do not know how to describe how disrespectful it was to use AI to generate new bars in his voice because Kendrick, the new pillar of conscious rap, knows and respects his history. my jaw is on the floor
