The Pixel Project recently posted this about Namjoon

So they’re removing him from their 5th list of 16 male role models helping to stop violence against women, but….why was he even there in the first place?

Like, I genuinely do not under the thought process. He was included in the list in 2024, and Namjoon/BTS already had years worth of racism controversies.

I love that we have organizations that stand against violence against women, but as a black woman myself, it is a bit aggravating that they did this. Does racism not count as violence against women? I believe that racism can and does lead to violence against women of color, but it seems like that wasn’t on PP’s mind when they decided to add Namjoon to this list. Curious.

I did email them to ask about that.

Yall I am SO tired😭😭😭😭 Bill’s acting like he slipped and sprained his ankle instead of a guy with a pacemaker whose heart stopped a million times.

I know soaps loooove dragging a nice storyline but gosh I cannot take it anymore. Idk…if I had a pacemaker I wouldn’t try having sex in my hospital bed knowing that:

A) I’m in a hospital (decorum!!)

B) I shouldn’t be elevating my heart rate

Like if Bill doesn’t care about his health then just let Hayley kill him. Let her get her check so we can move on to the other issue which is the fact Vanessa/Joey/Heather’s storyline has been gaining traction when I thought this was supposed to be a black soap opera? But that’s a post for another day….

Repost to fit the rules, sorry

I hate that time is passing to fast. I just want my mommy back.

I lost her four years ago today, a little over a week after my 17th birthday. I spent that birthday in the house, alone. She was the only person who spent birthdays with me. No one in my family cares anymore. To be fair, I just turned 21, so I’m not expecting a huge party or anything cause I’m not a little baby anymore. But I do wish I got some happy birthday calls from my family. A “hbd” text would’ve sufficed.

But anyway. I can’t stand that it’s been four years now. Then it’ll be five years. Then ten. Fifteen, twenty, thirty.

Time is passing and she’s seeing none of it. She didn’t see me graduate high school. She won’t see me graduate college. She won’t see me get settled into a career. Her last few years with me, all she got was a depressed and anxiety riddled teenager who hated everything except her. She doesn’t get to see that her baby is okay now. I don’t hate life anymore. Decades are going to pass but none of them matter if she’s not here.

Her old perfume went bad and now I can’t spray it anymore. It doesn’t smell like her. Her old clothes don’t smell like her anymore. I’ve cleaned her knickknacks so many times that her finger prints are long gone. I still have photos and a few videos, so it’s not like she doesn’t exist anymore. But damn I miss how she smelled when she’d get us both dolled up for our mom-daughter dinner days. It’s the little shit I miss the most.

Fuck lupus. Fuck that stupid disease that took everything from me. It slowly damaged all her organs until her body couldn’t take it anymore. It took my amazing mother from me. When I needed her most.

If anyone reading this has a good relationship with their mom. Please, please, hug her. You never know when it’ll be her last day. I would do anything for another moment with her.

I usually use LinkedIn or Handshake to find internship applications. On LinkedIn I've been seeing a lot of (undisclosed?) ads for Runway, a site that claims to pull a list of internships for you before they're posted to the major job sites. In those ads, and in a lot of irl advice I've gotten, they say that by the time a listing is on LinkedIn/Handshake/etc, they're basically "gone."

Anyway, I'm not paying for Runway or anything of the sort. The ads on LinkedIn annoy me too much. But I am interested in finding more internships outside of the major job boards. I do google "(blank) internships summer 2027" but I usually just get results for LinkedIn, Indeed, blah blah.

If it helps tailor things, I'm a communication major. I've previous internship and work experience in HR, political comms, internal comms, and marketing. I'd be searching for more internships like this.

Yangyang mentioning that before the show they were checking socials because they didn’t know how many people would show up :((

I’m glad people were able to show up and support them!!! Great energy tonight from WayV and the crowd!

If YEW 🫵🏽 have melanated skin then you need to be slathering yourself in some lotion. Unless you got some allergies or sumn then you do you idk

I personally use Palmers lotion, the new vanilla scent. I be smelling good all day long.

But sometimes I go outside with my friends and see their skin is crying for a sip of Jergens. I always carry a small bottle of lotion to help my people out.

Keep that skin hydrated, my friends.

Drop some lotion recs in the comments below.

Alright, everyone. Gentle reminder time.

First, this post isn’t to call y’all out – we’ve already handled problematic users. Let’s just reiterate our policies.

Noir was built to be a safe space for those affected by racism in the kpop fandom. This is our space to post about our faves, vent about racism without hearing bUt ThEy ApOlOgIzEd, talk about real world issues, etc., with the absence of bigotry and invalidation.

Recent situations like Mark E. Lee, the slavery manhwa, and Handong from Dreamcatcher showing off her Natasha doll, have sparked discussion within the sub. And y’all, all I have to say is that I’m tired, and I know y’all tired as well. But to respect the Nature of the Subreddit, everyone needs to be mindful of their words in order to keep this community safe for everyone.

With these discussions, we’ll get comments from users calling other users self hating, spineless, disrespecting others’ races, etc. Comments and posts with content like this will be snuffed out; that ain’t what we do here. We can talk about kpop and racism without name calling.

As BIPOC we already get enough shit from the kpop. Let this be the one space where we can discuss issues in peace.

Appreciate y’all! Remember to report anything that breaks our rules.

For starters, I’ve been taking Effexor since January. I’m currently on 150mg.

I went to urgent care earlier today to get an unrelated injury checked out. They took my blood pressure and it’s 120/84.

Now I know Effexor can raise blood pressure, but I’m sure it’s mostly because I’m fat. I weigh 268 as a 5’5 woman thanks to my binge eating disorder. I have lost some weight thanks to me working with my therapist on this issue, but of course the weight isn’t doing to drop in one day.

Is it still worth telling my psychiatrist about the high blood pressure? I’m not sure if the medication is factor. I really think it’s mostly just my weight and eating habits. I really am trying to work on that front.

Hi all,

I am a college sophomore taking my first 3000 level class for my history minor. My final paper is a historiography, 15-20 pages. My professor explained the concept in class, and I've talked to her during office hours, but I still cannot grasp how to write a historiography (she is pretty ramble-y...I've struggled to understand her all semester).

I was hoping someone here has experience with writing a historiography -- maybe in a class or for a capstone -- and can give me advice on writing one. I guess you could say I am a bit lost when it comes to formatting and stuff. I am hoping for a good grade on this final so I've been asking for help in different areas. Hopefully someone responds!

Thank you, everyone :)
