Music. So this is going to be this well, where I talk about the things that are important to me. My values, my operating system, if you will. Because I'm new to figuring all this out. So anyway, questions? Feel free to put them here, but this is how I'm going to explain the way I work, the way I think, why you might be interested in it. Okay? Thank you. Bye
And this is the whole thing that I figured out in April, right before my birthday, my fifty th in that era, through a lot of kids have felt through the cracks. It was a very thorough time to be a child. And for some people it was amazing. They had the best time and they're very nostalgic about it, about how it was just the coolest. But the thing is that means that they didn't get preyed upon
But I'm going to use my privilege to make white people uncomfortable anyway, managing expectations. And I just told you a little bit more about me. I'm not fond of my whiteness, but I will use it to make the world a better place. So I am an anti car. And I was so relieved to find out that there was a word for that, because I've been shamed for it in therapy for being an anti. Karen. Okay, well, that's in this one

But I haven't listened to them yet, so maybe I can dive in on those and find out what it is that you are sharing over there. But you definitely seem like you come from an interesting past, as many of us do, that has taught us plenty of things that are worth sharing. So I look forward to seeing more of what it is that you have to offer here. And again, I just want to publicly welcome you here
You okay, you guys, I'm sorry. I've been away for a little while. Been doing some stuff. I've been actually kind of tear aparting, tearing apart my phone. When it comes to the apps I have on my phone, I've never really cared too much about technology and suddenly can't get enough
Also, I wang to be very, very clear about this. You know, somebody was talking about Amber Heard and how, with her personality, I don't know what word they use, and the word that I would use would be and be flattering. But she is shallowly affected. Everything's in this surface level of how much she cares about things, I am deeply affected. Everything deeply affects me, and I love it. I'm so grateful in that way
I wanted to research hiphop, and I never thought, as a white person, to me, it was a sacred space because it's built out of pain. And so I did. I researched all the way into prison culture and getting turned. I researched everything. And then what I really wanted was to not just be an ally. Saying, putting a BLM on your profile is not being an ally. And I know that there are some black women are the future
I'm actually legally married still to a black man, even though I'm a lesbian. Non binary. I left eight years ago and I've been scared. So if anybody has any lawyer knowledge, you can help me with that, that'd be great. And we're going to go. Comment and message me, please. Let's do this
Are you going down to the police station? Are you raising awareness about men being hurt? Are you starting homeless shelters for men that are being are you doing it because we're busy? Right? Every white man I wang to say, why are you not in politics? Why are you not carrying the power away from the white men who our religion is capitalism. None of this is okay. None of it. So I have this idea of, first off, ask a cracker
So what do I want to do? Here it is. I'm going to lay it on the table. You ready? Can you guys handle it? Before preparing for my birthday, I was all reparations. Yeah, not anymore. I've never really been a creative person. Like, my trauma, it has that part blacked off to me. I have said to myself that I don't write songs, that I don't have ideas, that I'm of no use
I just have a moment? But I wanted to share that the reason why I assured that little fantasy of mine is because it's so far extreme. Something that most likely would never happen. But I feel like it makes room for other people to share ideas. Chances are they're not as extreme as that one. So we can talk about anything. Like any solution. Anyway, those are just my thoughts
