Did Ya'll Notice Something?

[amarie24]

Note: I been wanting to say this for a while, now. And yes, I am hopelessly laughing.

Under my Blackout Day picture this time...I done stopped saying, "Hey, if you have any selfies, please share them in the comments!"

And y'know why? 'Cause almost ain't nobody ever share their selfies for Blackout Day in my comments.

And y'know why that is? Because so, so many of ya'll are white.

Whitey McWhite. Midwest White. Drink-Milk-Everyday-White. Cheese-Sandwich-White.

Ya'll can either get a tan in the sun or you outright burn in the sun. Hell, ya'll'd probably get sunburn from just the phone's camera flash if you tried to participate in Blackout Day.

So, so, so, so many of my blogging friends are white. Be it Dreamwdith, Ana Mardoll's Ramblings, or Shakesville...ya'll are all so white. I love and appreciate every last one of ya'll, but Jesus Christ. I've had this blog since 2011 and been hanging out at Ana Mardoll's since about 2008, but...how did it ever get to this point? My goodness.

I have a party over on Tumblr on Blackout Days, but I ain't got next to nobody over here to do Blackout Day with. My god.

Ain't nobody to do Blackout Day selfies with me over here. Ya'll are all so white.

-still, truly laughing helplessly-

Born and raised in Alaska, so I get extra-crispy in the sun. In Arizona I had to go about with a great big hat and an umbrella.

(And that picture is of me! Thank you!! It's also more than *counts* 12 years old at this point. This is me now, smudged eyeliner and all: https://twitter.com/azurelunatic/status/807403971811807232 )

Ooohh, Alaska, huh? I had no idea! I hear those snows are some of the most beautiful ever in the world, yes?

And then you went down to Arizona...where that dry, dry desert heat that gets into the 100s is. Good lord in heaven. Why, that reminds me of way, way back in high school, we had a transfer student from Alaska come down here to Georgia. So heat and humidity, poor thing! She said it was like she stepped into Hades!

(And you are so pretty!! You remind me of those Edwardian ladies from way, way back in the day!!!)

It is such beautiful snow! The angle of the light makes everything pink and blue and gold for a whole bunch of the day. And when the conditions are right for big crystals, so sparkly.

Moving to Arizona was a bit of a climate shock. At least it was a dry heat (as they kept telling me)!

(And thank you! You are lovely as well, and it always brightens my day to see your selfies.)

Oooohh, that is a beautiful snow, for sure! I do hope that I'm lucky enough to one day see it myself; you're so lucky to be from such a beautiful state! (...Although I'm so sorry that ya'll had Sarah freakin' Palin as governor for a while. Goodness gracious.)

And yeah, dry heat is a lot easier to deal with than humid heat, which is what we have over here in the east, haha!

(D'aaaaaaw, you're so very kind!!!)

[azurelunatic]

Sarah Palin was not a disaster of a governor until she got a national stage. Very quiet. Until someone dragged her out into the spotlight...

I have visited the East Coast a few times. I think my heat tolerance was better at that point. I think I would melt now!

Yeah...that someone being John McCain and his team, bless his heart.

And d'aaw, that's okay! I'm sure I'd freeze up there in Alaska!! LOL!
