Someday I want to be part of making an ad that features all dark-skinned Black folks advertising something we actually use/like. And I personally think it's a little sad that I have to wonder if that'll ever happen lol.

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
