Youjo's Crits and Reviews

Let's talk about Judge Sean Holden, only for the sake of his resurgence and popularity and how blood meridian is becoming retrospectively overrated. Also going to be talking about traditional era ritualistic murders. Also going to talk about folklore, in general, with Mac and Candyman as examples. SUPER LONG POST! BUCKLE UP! People are having such a hard time coping with the present they got to reach back to shit like blood meridian, which is a huge commentary in it of itself.  Judge Holden is actually something of a person or a folklore that exists in a few stories. I don't know about any of those other depictions, but I will say blood meridian wasn't good for him or anyone.  So, if the folklore thing is true that means that Holden's character was developed in a time where it was socially acceptable to demonize albino people. It doesn't take looking that far back to see the demonization of albino people in a lot of literature. It was a thing they did on the regular...

Super disappointed with the 420 event at Marigold/ Honeycomb. Super crowded for not much going on and only three people wearing a mask.  There were a few things on sale, but they were by three get one free. Someone was selling walking tacos for $15. We paid $10 to get in but nothing was free, so I guess we were paying for the DJ?  It would have been great if they had a heated seating area with speakers for the DJ outside for folks who are covid conscious. We left a few minutes after arriving, because $10 is not something to behold someone to. We can go get some real food for $15. The day wasn't a total bust, because we went to a different event earlier and had a great time!

If you're black, brown, disabled/ disfigured, trans, or talk about any form of progressive politics or human rights you probably have a lot of issues with TikTok. A lot of us have five accounts to try to get around tiktok banning us, but what if we didn't have to live like that? What if we embraced the apps that tiktok paid all those millions of billions and advertising to make sure we never know about?  BIGO (little blue dinosaur logo) and Live. Me+ is where TikTok ripped a lot of its framework for their livestreaming setup from - and then paid billions of dollars in advertising to make sure you never hear about those apps.  And since these apps aren't popular, there are less white people. Not to say that these are designated black and brown spaces, but there are marginally less white people. And in my experience, when I first went on to bigo and live.me - for the few North American white people there were on the suggestions page, most of them were sex workers.  In my o...

I'm not being paid for this at all. I got this off of tick tock shop and I'm very grateful for myself for having the insight for myself and wanting to challenge myself and I'm glad that this brought out so many limiting beliefs about myself and how I can make money. I'm happy with what I have now, and I'll be happy with how I'm building towards what I will have in the future. A part of manifesting is truly believing what you're saying. Not limiting your beliefs. Not being afraid to be as vague or as specific as possible. Put what you want out into the universe and make the actions to lay the path for those goals to be achieved. I am no longer afraid of where I've been, where I am, and the bridge I'm building to where I'm going.

I'm 35 and I just had p.i.v. sex. I feel like if more people started having sex later in life they would have a better understanding of how trust based sex is, and it wouldn't be treated so immaturely. People act like sex or maybe the people they can sex with are/ is something detached from the rest of their lives. And for all the cisgender men that get blamed for mediocre sex, maybe consider there are better things you can do with your time than have sex with people that don't take it seriously - which is usually cisgender men, because there's less bad things that can happen to them if something messes up.  Unless it's sex work. As of right now, I can't endorse anything other than that. Y'all please be safe out there. We need to get rid of FOSTA AND SOSTA so sex workers can operate safely online again. That shit didn't do anything to stop child trafficking. It only ran sex workers off the internet.  Also, this isn't hate speech. I'm not saying b...

This adaptation isn't just another black struggle movie. If you call it a black struggle movie and you didn't watch it, don't talk to me because we don't have anything to talk about. If you think it's a black struggle movie after you watched it, okay then. That's your educated perspective. I disagree. The color purple is a very underrated coming of age story when it seems like all is hopeless and bleak. because of the way things start off, it's not even really seen as becoming of age story that it is. Also, there's something very classist about how people don't want to believe that somebody who started so low, the lowest than anyone in our modern day could think is low, could come up and be successful. But I certainly wouldn't suggest just anyone watch it. there are racially charged events. there is domestic violence. there is family violence. there's also using a teenager as a surrogate without her consent and forced teenage marriage.  there...
