I can't do that lasso-tool thing that's the wave rn but under-blobbing might stick.

Speaking of my, "no, being an anime nerd back then was hard. You'd get called an Oreo for it"-🧵,
I do hope kids black and non-black have stopped calling other black kids "Oreos" bc I feel like it isolates black children more than what I presume to be the intended effect: making them self-correct..21 4Jul 27, 2026 -

Niche-case, but, as a black late 90s/early 00s kid, I was called an Oreo™ for liking anime (among other media) that was about like, fantasy-fiction (especially featuring non-black-ppl) instead of grounded, down-to-earth, 20th/21st century fiction about IRL struggles. Especially IRL black struggles.

Another CSP tip because I am a freak and can't help but share: You can and should dock the Quick-Access tool somewhere.
I have tried next to my usual tool group, but I like a full, dominant-hand-sided sidebar for it.24 2Jul 27, 2026 -

Oh yeah and don't forget art teachers telling everyone across the board "stop drawing anime" even if they were a good chicken nugget and made sure to apply the fundamentals.
The second they smell a WHIFF of it on ya it's OVERRR and I feel like there is some amount of xenophobia to that.14 1Jul 27, 2026 -

It amazes me. It amazes me so much that it makes me feel like I was born too early.
If I had been born in the 00s/10s instead of the 90s/00s, I could have had more anime blerd peers instead of being pushed into the Oreo box and suffering its ripple effects: feeling Not Black Enough as an adult.14 1Jul 27, 2026 -

I bring this up because nowadays in the big 2026 the black anime blerd is such a normal thing to be instead of a fringe/alternative thing to be (90's-00s).
I wonder if it was the same for non-black people.

Like back then you had your black anime fans, especially for that big 3, but I felt like one had own up for it in their media consumption and IRL cultural expression to not be made fun of (and called an Oreo). And god forbid one stray from Toonami / that big 3. Then you're REALLY a geek.

People that use a physical or otherwise non-cloud calendar to stay on top of things… how?
