Let me just say, dude, that you are not alone. There are a lot of people who feel this struggle and there is no simple answer to this problem. Because it is societal. You probably already know this but I want to start off with that.

I can see every little thing you think is threatening to others and it's all there. You're black. You're a man. You're a black man. You have strong features. You wear clothes. And you exist.

That shouldn't be your problem, but more than a century of propaganda has made it so. Me and everyone else has been conditioned to fear you.

With all that said, I can echo some other comments. Take the advice on fashionable clothing. Aside from the other positives, it feels good to look good. You've saved up for surgery, spend it on that instead. Find a fashionable friend and get advice. There are multiple ways to achieve it without feeling untrue to yourself.

Learn to smile as your opener. To others and to yourself.

Most importantly, spend that money you saved on therapy. It isn't there to fix you. It's there to help give you the tools to cope with the reality of things. It isn't bullshit. No amount of aesthetic adjustments will fix what's going on in your head and your heart.

Candidly, you seem like you're not in a good fucking way. Get help. Peace.

Ha! I switched to perfectly round glasses for completely unrelated reasons and certain demographics who tended to be threatened by my complexion almost stopped entirely. That was a funny quirk of a minor style change.

But also I'm not a big dude. I just happen to fit a description.

Did Pratchett really recommend starting with sourcery? I've been stumped for years on where to start

That was extremely confusing to watch without context. What's happening?

Posy is the shit. Even Lazy Posy is better than most other channels.

The movie is an excellent adaptation. A lot of shit gets skipped, glossed over, or changed but I feel like it was in the service of the medium. Books ain't talkies.

I've been thriving off of basic tiger rice coolers for decades at this point. It doesn't need to be fancy. Cup of rice, fill to line, do something else for 10 minutes

Any idea why it replied twice?

I wonder if there's been a follow-up since this article was posted

I was too, but I ended up searching for Helluva Boss and started watching that instead haha. I hadn't heard of either of these shows.

And Republicans are the only one of the two major parties who has proven themselves able to both have a long term plan and commitment to see it through. This is a joke until it isn't.
