When karma turns out to be a bigger bitch than you.
Being a minority does not give you a right to be an anti-black piece of shit.
Google has a page, tucked away deep in your settings, where all your receipts from shopping online are sorted and saved… [I]t includes anything else you might have bought online too (in which a receipt was sent to your Gmail): Amazon, prescriptions, movies, stuff you paid for using Square. And there are the orders placed using Google services, like Google Play Store, Google Express, or through the Google Assistant.
Here’s the link to the page (you have to be logged in):
https://myaccount.google.com/purchases…
There is currently no way to mass-delete your purchase history in Google, although you can delete the transactions one by one. There’s also no way to turn the Purchases page “off” or to prevent future purchases from getting sorted into it.
CNBC, which reported this feature today, points out that there isn’t a clear way to change this setting on the Purchases page itself, and it’s hard to find it to begin with.
At a moment when users are extremely on edge about their privacy, there’s a general distrust of how tech giants like Facebook, Google, or Amazon’s handle our personal info. After so many screwups and breeches and leaks, it can be hard to see their promises to “take your privacy seriously” as more than lip service.
Learning that Google has been sorting out and storing our shopping habits — and we didn’t even know it! — is a little freaky, and it’s reasonable to be skeptical about why it’s keeping this information.
This is all occurring in Sudan! Please keep them in your prayers.

Remember when the fucking Notre Dame burned down and everyone knew instantly and it was over every single news outlet?
Well there’s been a massacre going on in Sudan for DAYS and NOBODIES COVERING IT!
So there is currently a media blackout in Sudan to try and coverup the horrors taking place:
Stop what you’re doing and please reblog this. Innocent people are being murdered, people are trapped, have no internet access, and are being raped by the dozens on the streets of Sudan.
The death toll is estimated to be over 300 civilians. And the fact that not a single major news outlet is covering this is horrific and disgusting. Please help get the word out about Sudan!
It is refreshing to see a congresswoman, who is unencumbered by corporate cash, speak truth to power.
there’s a ton of shit you can get in life if you’re willing to submit yourself to the mortifying horror of asking for it.
My country’s literal revolution is happening right now but nobody cares bc it’s not impacting the US/Europe

For those who don’t know, I launched my hair care company not too long ago. I’m currently selling a unisex hair & beard growth serum that’s all natural, high quality, coconut oil free, and makes your beard & scalp feel like it’s chewing minty fresh gum 🥰
I make everything by hand, my formula came from my own creativity and research (I didn’t buy from a private label like most new hair care companies are doing).
As someone who suffers from extreme shedding due to old chemical burns from the relaxers I used to get, breakage because my natural hair is super dry and super, gross dandruff that’s induced by stress - I can honestly say that my oil is pretty bomb and it can alleviate any mild scalp issues like dryness, flakes and itchiness. As for beards, this oil will give you an extra boost if your main problem is shedding.
This serum contains several different carrier and essential oils that promotes hair growth and will reduce breakage and excessive shedding. However, it’s important to take care of your hair and beard - you must wash and condition your hair or beard due to the fact that oils are not moisturizers, they just seal in moisture. Meaning, this is the last product you apply when you are doing your regimen.
You can use this product while wearing protective styles by applying the product to your scalp and edges but be sure to moisturize your hair as well.
This product is not intended to cure or to sell anyone false hopes and dreams. This is to give you an extra boost! If you can’t naturally grow a beard, this can’t help you or if you have any underlying health issues that’s affecting hair growth on your scalp, I think it’s important to speak to a doctor to help your figure out the most appropriate treatment for you.
This shouldn’t be used by pregnant women because some of the essential oils can probably induce labor but it can be used during your post partum period because that’s when extreme shedding occurs.
I’ve compared my product to the others on the market - what sets mine apart is just the quality and there’s no fillers in it (soybean oil, corn oil, mineral oil or petroleum).
It’s truly amazing. This thing have grown my edges many times after I ripped them out after detangling incorrectly 😂
Support ya girl please 💓

A lot of people are really scared and angry because of the results of the newest climate change reports — as they should be. But I’m already seeing a lot of posts and news reports like “HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING” and bizarrely enough, the answers are never like “weed out climate change deniers from your government, impose strict new rules for the corporations that are creating most of the emissions, pour government resources into alternate forms of fuel, etc.” It’s always like “carpool to work!”
Look. Of course you should be working to reduce waste in your own life. But let’s not fucking pretend that consumers are the ones who made this mess. You know what another recent study found? Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. If the rest of us stopped ALL WASTE and fucking ascended to a higher plane of existence that no longer requires consumption of any kind, the world would still be absolutely fucked if those 100 companies keep on as they do.
I hate this personal responsibility model when it comes to conservation. By ignoring the actual source of the problem and focusing on individuals instead, guess who gets targeted? The absolute most vulnerable individuals on the planet. When people advocate personal responsibility, somehow they’re never talking about billionaires and their private jets. They’re creating straw bans that will make life more dangerous for people with disabilities. They’re shaming women for using disposable menstrual products. They’re criticizing the poor and destitute for using “wasteful” products because they’re all they can afford. They’re making vaguely eugenic statements about getting people in “third world countries” to stop ~breeding~ so much. It’s monstrous.
Stop shaming consumers for the sins of corporations and their powerful investors. Stop placing the blame at the feet of the people who already have the hardest time getting through life. Do something, and by “do something” I mean buy a reusable coffee cup on the way to fucking vote. Go to a protest. Call a representative. Demand accountability from the people who got us into this mess.
My memories were so ingrained in me they felt like roots in my brain
If the rain comes I hope the hail comes at my wake
Brother, mother please leap for me
No need to mourn for what’s been done
The real sorrow is regret overrun by illusions
Soul crushing profusions
At the core from my head
And my severed heart
It’s a dozen shards across these dead lands
Our daughters are treated as commodities
With no broad shoulder as a protector
Brother, mother don’t weep for me
Our memories are horror collectors
I long for the warmth of the Sun
But all I can feel is a thousand hells
Lady Sira
“I kept running the trail to you
And the closer I got
The more splinters appeared on my chest
But still, I had to hold you
I had to believe.”
- Lady Sira
Heavy rain leaves trail under crystalline water and creates rare, beautiful scene. This scene is located in Bonito, MS, Brazil.
Void rage gave me nothing but tears
Amplified my pain
Crippled my dreams
Obscuring my path
I never wanted this
I never wanted to be this way
Heartless you say
But there was once a day
That the monster within me once loved
With all that they had
-Lady Sira
“I just need to connect the remnants of my soul,
That’s been shattered by the hands of careless men.”
- By Lady Sira
Love induced touch from your lips,
Damn, how I adored your deathly grips
- Lady Sira
God what is it that I lack?
Everyone I loved was a blade held to my back
Earth is a landmine where the blood kisses the flowers
When violence was at my wake, there comes a mental fog
My fragile life was at stake, my flesh is sore
My serotonin unbalanced
Hell, my mind is losing its gravity
My psyche was an open crack
Kiss the ghost of my memories
No need to be haunted I dine with fear
You were another face I had to bury
His hearse lies within me
I loved the thought of you
Seal the thought of you
End this portal of grief
I look into the eyes of the woman
Left with no disguise and bare
Undress my humanity, it’s still there
Healing is invited when acceptance is a given
My consciousness transcends this dimension
Uncovered she realizes she’s sublime
No need to follow society’s times
She dreams a thousand revolutions
And where there’s tears
There’s legacies to be bred
I remember he said, “It’s up to you to evolve.”
Now I fill the gold in the crevices
Woman reclaimed,
No need to bathe in my own shame
My soul lives
I’m a phoenix bursting through the flames
There I’m reborn
I am unenslaved
A poem written by me, Lady Sira
