No it isn’t. See my other reply, she was the one who original broke the story of her masters thesis being rejected because she mentioned her boyfriend, publically on her tiktok profile which shows her face.
I still question the motives behind the original author.
- Comment on Dear Faith X 1 day ago:
Well I decided to look into it a bit. It seems like the original Faith ran into trouble for dedicating her Masters thesis to her boyfriend.
I cannot find the OP amongst that particular story which was reported on a lot of low-effort quasi-journalistic outlets (think Buzzfeed but less well known).
Might it be the case these are copycat meme creators who are creating these memes to capitalize on a trend/news event and are impersonating the original author for - at best a laugh, at worse for an ulterior motive?
I don’t think it’s “weird” to question these motives. I think its perfectly reasonable to suggest that this anonymous screenshot should be subject to critical thought.

a meme that I personally would have suspicions about it’s origin considering it paints a black academic woman in a bad light.

one of my new years rezzies was to eat more fruit and it’s been actually really enjoyable. Fresh mango, pineapple, cherries, grapes…

growing up in the 80s and 90s in the uk, I never heard the end of how the (slur for Pakistani people, applied to all people from South Asian countries) are ruining everything, then the Kosovans/Bosnians, Romani people… I saw less black/African racism but I didn’t see none.

check out New Threat which remixes the game, or the Archeology Mod which restores cut content and the original intent of the translators - including lines that were wrong in the original and then fixed in remake (it has a setting specifically keep “This guy are sick” if you were worried).

before silica was commercially available people used to use rice (in salt shakers, to dry electronics…)
rice contains naturally occurring silica.
also, silica is the same composition as quartz and opals.

I mean you’ll have to take my word for it I guess.
I volunteer for an organization that promotes fiction penned by women and minority communities, we have a guy on the board who used to be a software engineer in the 70s–90s before he retired, he doesn’t know the first thing about social media. Struggles to remember the name of Facebook which is the only one he’s used.
My father in law wrote software for both JPL and government oceanography equipment, and is a big fan of Musk’s SpaceX work and vehemently against his political stuff, saying “he needs to dump that political stuff and get back to work!” frequently.
In my experience, people are complicated and immune to a lot of online pigeonholing, no matter how insistent online voices (mine included) are about that - there is a break between online discourse and real life day to day humdrum quotidian lived experience

there’s no need to make it personal to me, I’m just telling you about a guy I know.
I think its very reasonable in America that one wouldn’t be exposed to specific anti-Musk language if one didn’t engage with social media or news.
I think this is a case of

random people on the street flip him off, and some people have thrown stuff at him. He thinks they’re weirdos and it’s kinda funny. 🤷♂️
also I’m not going to tell the bosses husband people think he’s a nazi. I’m going to take my pay and enjoy my weekends and vacations.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
this is not an endorsement of Musk or of Tesla or of cybertruck drivers - but this is a Very Online take. My boss’ husband drives a cybertruck, he doesn’t know what tiktok is, he doesn’t know what a meme is nor does he understand them when he sees them (he asks who it’s a photo of), the only news he consumes is in regards to logistics and supply chain and a little bit of the stock market.
I imagine he has as much understanding of why people hate elon musk as to I do as to why people love Sidney Crosby and hate Alexander Ovechkin - two people I had never heard of or know nothing about before googling “hockey players people love and hate.”
I won’t even remember their names in 5 minutes. I imagine a fair amount of cybertruck owners are like that.
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
12 keys (A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#) major and minor. 36 if you count melodic minor and harmonic minor separately.
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
really you should pick an instrument that you are excited about and we can’t know that.
I loved playing piano as a kid, and when I became a teen I wanted to play bass, then in my 20s I wanted to learn clarinet so I’d have a well-rounded experience with different instruments.
The best way to learn is classes, the best way to practice is scales. Anyone who has the fortitude to play the 24 scales every day and maybe a few modes before an hour of practice will become better than most people, faster.
Being able to see I-V-vi-IV in F and being able to instinctively play it only comes from hours of drilling scales.
when Im in a music-heavy space, I have some music dice that I roll and make it into a chord progression and play that. I also try and memorize a new song a week til I can play it without looking at the music and without a backing track (but, crucially, with a click track or metronome)
