White people can not be the subjects of racism (as in, you can’t be “racist” against white people).

Racism requires an imbalance in the power dynamic. For instance, African-Americans can — and obviously very often are, as evidenced by the number of African-American men dying at the hands of policemen in the United States of america — be the subject of racism. Asian-Americans can. Hispanics can. Indigenous individuals can. Those of Middle Eastern descent or heritage can. Individuals of mixed ancestry can as well. But predominantly white individuals who do not feel the effects of not being able to “pass” can not be the subjects of racism. They can feel the effects of prejudice, although it might be and generally is in different ways, and they can be marginalized in other ways that do not make their lives more difficult on account of their ancestry, ethnicity, or race — they can be disabled, for instance. They can be LBGT. They can be female. They can be one or more of those things. They can be any combination of those things. But their life is not made more difficult because of their ethnicity or the color of their skin if I’m making sense composing this.

Obviously writing posts on 300mg Trokendi and 5mg lisinopril, which is fun to spell, is not the most fun.

All lives won’t matter equally until black lives matter, which is why I think “all lives matter” is garbage.

And don’t even get me started on the whole “blue lives matter” crap, which I do think is absolute garbage.

A list of people that I have been blocked by on Twitter, by the way:
· Onision (on both of his accounts)
· Blaire White
· the casting director for Big Brother and several other shows
· Lori Alexander, The Transformed Wife
· the Catholic bishop of Tyler

I don’t think I’m missing any, but if I am I can always come back and revise this.

I tend not to block people myself unless they make it clear that they are attempting to gaslight in conversations or debates, or unless they actually invoke various Hitler fallacies. In instances like those, that is when (as the Generation Z kids like to say) I am “done”. Or if I politely ask someone to stop mentioning me on Facebook or Twitter and they continue, especially when my phone’s notifications are on, and they keep on doing it — especially when more than one of them do it and they “tag” people in. You can just get blocked.

Please note that I am not actually getting paid to make this post.

Someone mentioned Kikoff on Facebook, and I decided to give this a try on my own since… surprisingly, I don’t actually have any credit. I’ve been the kind of person to only pay for things when I have the money “in hand” to make the payment, but I figured that if there were a way to start to work on my credit without actually taking tangible risk in the event that I needed to have good credit in the future, I might as well start now while I didn’t technically need to have good credit. So that’s what I’ve been doing. What Kikoff does is “lends” you $12.00 in their virtual wallet once you make an account with them, and you pay them back a dollar a month over the course of a year with them. As long as you stay current on payments, they report that “loan” being paid back to them to all three major credit reporting agencies in the United States. In turn, that actually gives you a credit score if you’re… well, like me, and you don’t have a credit score, or it improves your credit score if you’re someone who might not have the best credit score (this can influence up to 35% of your credit score if that is the case and you already have a credit score!). As long as you remember to make these single $1 payments on time, it’s all reward and no risk — you come out of it with an actual, good credit score, which you can later use to your advantage, or you actually improve your already existing credit score!
