My blog on a wikipedia page

So I happened to check my blog stats and see that I've been getting more hits lately but I don't really know why. I haven't been posting more and have actually been rarely writing.

Then I see that the Wikipedia post on The Aristocats features my blog post on it, seen here. Wow, how did that happen? And people have made some negative comments on the post like racism will go away if people just don't talk about the fact that racism happened.

Yeah, that's the issue.

Not this, where a few high schools have Orientals as the name of the school. With Chang the dragon as the mascot. And "Asian" font on their website.

Yeah, we need to stop bringing these things up. Bc then they'll just go away.

Like this woman Deborah Peagler who has been wrongfully imprisoned.

Like the fact that white girls who are kidnapped are put on the national news but black children are not. They're still missing, America.

If keeping silent and just wanting peace would make everything ok, I would duct tape my mouth. But that's not really how it works is it?

Music, High School, Poverty, and the Recession

This story made me tear up, and I often don't personally feel so touched by the need to have music programs in high schools. Watch the accompanying video, too.

I just want to send her money for college but that's not really the issue or the answer.

Ok, I have a bigger kitchen than these places

I've heard of small NY studios and apartments but these are small! And now they're "reasonably" priced at $250K - for 200 sq ft! Ack.

And some have what looks like $500 or $750 HOA fees. omg. Ack.

Somehow their sinks are smaller than mine and my kitchen looks like a chef's dream compared to these; one, the microwave is above a shelf above the fridge. How do you use it?? And people buy these?? Ack.

Ok, I thought about it, and I don't think I want to move to NY.

Your printer is a brat



so true

Hollister

I saw these teens last week wearing clothes with the word Hollister on the front. I was confused - is the city Hollister now that popular?

Then I discovered this brand after reading this article and then this one.

Interesting especially the existence of entire brands based on what ppl think Californians wear. Not the newest idea, it just surprises me everytime.
