Allow me to reintroduce myself...

I'm not sure what re-inspired me to do this. Could be a writing bug. It could be that some content creators I follow are bad news all day every day. Whatever the case, I decided to once again reintroduce myself and tell you signed up for.

My name is nukirk and I love three things: tech, culture and protecting them. Somewhat in that order. What I used to do is blog about racial issues and sad news as What Whites Will Never Know. Now, I want to blog about a lot of other things beyond that.. and less sad news. Too much of that going on. Here's a taste of those things (in no particular order)

How to protect yourself online from the rapidly changing Internet.

Curating posts from other people about what their passionate about.

Why it's important to not be complacency with your digital equipment.

Learning about the current culture environment and how you can help (and no, complaining about it online isn't the only step)

Social commentary about stuff that the news might missed.

Basically, if it's related to tech, blackness, and culture, I'm going to blog about it. Or re-blog about it.

So, stay tuned for more posts.

P.S. - what's with the "for the rest of us" line? Well... some things I post about is to simplify it so it doesn't go over your head. Especially when it comes to tech. I always like to simplify things so that you can learn it without being the geek yourself. Hence "for the rest of us". Hope that clears that up.

March 6th, 2015 -- FIVE YEARS AGO, WE BROKE THE INTERNET. 

By “we” we mean “Black Tumblr”. T’von (formerly known as expectthegreatest) had an idea, Mars ( @marsincharge) had the drive, and @nukirk had the reach to make something *incredible* happen. And you guys...you showed up and showed out.

We wanted to make sure that Black Tumblr -- and Black people all across the internet and around the world -- had space to flex. To show each other and themselves, that THEIR Black is beautiful...and talented...and passionate, smart, etc... To celebrate what makes us all different and yet bound together in kinship. 

Thus, #Blackout + #BlackoutDay was born.

ON MARCH 6th, 2020, CELEBRATE OUR FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH US. 

We’re looking to break the internet again. Can we do that, Black Tumblr?

nukirk replied to your post: Am I the only one?

Talking to yourself isn’t odd. The odd thing is If you’re doing it so often to diffuse a situation more often than you want to. It’s best to talk to a therapist about that.

I do it a lot. It’s in my head and not out loud. Sometimes it’s as simple as “Look at this jackass here.” Then I have to reply with something “nice” like “Awww, he can’t help being an idiot. . .just smile and maybe help him.”

Where do you keep the other 99.94 gbs of data?

Google Drive. :3

They gave me another 100gb of space so, time to abuse it!

The Blackout

In February of 2015, Marissa Rei (@marsincharge) and nukirk (@nukirk) started a movement to celebrate the positivity of Blackness year-round. They wanted every single Black man, woman, and folks who are neither to feel comfortable celebrating themselves and their communities. Enter #BlackoutDay—a day centered around a call-to-action to celebrate the beauty of being Black by posting your selfies, your art, and your accomplishments in the #Blackout tag. Utilizing their social media-savvy and graphic design skills, they harnessed this home-grown opportunity to make sure this movement was accessible and community-forward. Over the next four years, as the movement itself grew as one of Tumblr’s most significant social movements, so has the message behind it. Black is Beautiful, sure, but Mars and nukirk are out here reminding you that Black is more than that. Black is Intelligent, Black is Resilient, Black is Resourceful.

On TikTok, I decided to start a series called #AskABlackFriend, where I answer questions about the Blackness experience without the sarcasm that I usually give on the subject. it's an attempt to actually have an honest conversation about race.

I got several questions and the first one that caught my eye, I made an episode around it. I thought I was going to be in character, but I ended up using my personal experiences to talk about my hyperawareness of Whiteness.

Since I haven't posted up in a minute on here, I decided to also share the series with y'all.

So, yesterday this happened... 

I literally bump into Kelvin Peña (the young man behind this). 

A post shared by Dee's world 🌏🐗 (@coldgamekelv) on Aug 2, 2016 at 7:39am PDT

Literally, because while I jumped up onto the sidewalk, I bumped into as he was trying to get into his Uber. When I recognized him, I knocked on the window, said I appreciated the work he was doing with his Foundation (http://www.everybodyeatsfoundation.org/)

So with that, he took out his phone, did a little recording for his Instagram, and now I got a lot of new followers on that platform.

It’s always nice to see people doing good in the world. I know I didn’t say anything deep, but he took it as a good word of support. 

If you want to follow him on his adventures, he’s ColdGameKelv on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

TREKMATCH! # 111 - Discovery's "Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad" vs 2007's Gone Baby Gone GONE BABY GONE Boston seems like a real fucked up place to live according to every movie and tv show I've ever seen about it. Here a local private eye (played by sexual assaulter Casey Affleck) investigates the kidnapping of a drug addict's child. Things go awry and whatnot and it maybe seems like the little girl dies or does she? Anyway, Amy Ryan really shoulda got an Academy Award for her role as the kid's vulgar Bostonian drug addict mother but I'm sure Tilda Swinton was good as whoever she was that year too. The end leaves me feeling conflicted like it's supposed to but I'll just say kidnapping is wrong? GRADE: B- STAR TREK: DISCOVERY - "Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad" This is one of the only Discovery episodes that works self contained outside of the main storyline, which I sorta hope changes in the second season. Anyway, here is one of those classic time slurp episodes where Harry Mudd shows up to exact revenge on Lorca for leaving him in a Klingon prison. How can Mudd break into a top secret Starfleet ship? Well he's got a little time looper fitbit that allows him to redo things in thirty minute increments. Unfortunately for him Stamets exists outside of time because of his recent engine experiments. One thing that is always weird to me is the kind of "cool" music Starfleet types listen to. Like for example here they listen to a remix of "Stayin' Alive," a song that is 275 years old to them, sorta like how nuKirk loves the Beastie Boys. I guess we could see these as just representations of what they actually might be like to us (sorta like how their English seems relatively unchanged in 300 years, so it too can be seen as a representation of what their English may be like to us rather than what it really would be), or also I guess Starfleet is technically full of science dorks who'd love to get down to Pachabel's Canon or whatever. GRADE: B Victory to Trek, putting Trek up 56-55!
