"September, I can finally post this"
Hey y'all, It's been a lazy few weeks. No critical thinking at all this past month!! We probably speak on this every week, but please take those days (or weeks) of rest. Burnout culture is real and we lookin' like some dusted candle wicks. Still smelling like some Le Labo Vervienne, 32 tho.
Also, we're trying to decide if we want these in house haircuts. Is $100 worth not looking like an early COVID celebrity? check us out on an Instagram story near you and let us know in the DMs.
Listen, we know that you know we're late on this. Here are some of our favorite motifs from the timeline these past few weeks.
๐ถIf you want a burger, eat a burger ๐ถ
Had to go deep into the catacombs of Twitter's servers for this one: https://vine.co/v/Ovbm6ujtd9b/
In current news, Kontaminating Kylie's baby daddy Travis Scott collabed (?) with good ol' Mickey D's. Mans really made a "custom" quarter pounder with toppings you can just add to any sandwich. Breh's name is "Cactus Jack" and he can't even be bothered to add (Cactus) Jack cheese on his pounder. Like what was brought to the table? At LEAST throw some new sauce on that joint. LaFlame's meal even comes with extra ice for the sprite as if it's not already going to destroy our throat lining. Even a Rick and Morty shoutout sparked a revival of the now infamous Szechuan sauce. But this? This is just a glorified #2 meal.
If "go and give us nothing" was a collaboration.
Putting on our sobering think piece hats. This feels akin to Juul creating a generation of nicotine addicts. Unfortunately, his sheep-ish fanbase will literally eat up whatever garbage he sells.
Bossip Bill of Rights: Thou Will Buss Open the Headlines One Last Time
An unspoken Black Twitter legend is leaving one of the platform's most famed institutions. PLEASE read the thread below.
Thank you David Dennis Jr. for your service! We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you buss down on the timeline with some more homewrecking headlines. Please take over another Brand Twitter account soon. ๐
Here are our personal picks for top Bossip headlines.
Wah Gwaan!
As you may have seen, Adele, a contender for the Black community's favorite White Woman of Colour, is back! Fi wi gyal guh tuh Notting Hill Carnival wid sum Bantu knots pan har head (courtesy of jamaicantranslator.com).
As this story unfolded, the timeline morphed Ms. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins into a Dancehall ting.
Adele joins our current list of white folk who make it a point to show the world they practice Patwa on a daily basis.
Memes aside, we don't think Adele was intentionally appropriating culture here. This look was representing a culture that she was literally celebrating at an event. Based on the outfit alone, this looks like appreciation in it's purest form. When you get to the hairstyle she's sporting though, the conversation becomes a bit more nuanced.
Adele could've come to Carnival with the same energy sans Bantu knots, and probably should have avoided them. Seeing as she's not rockin' them in her day-to-day, there was likely no ill will in her use of the knots. Just an overzealous white woman trying to get a fit off.
And just because Adele didn't get canceled over this doesn't mean white women get an all-clear to pull up at the next Popcaan show with protective styles.
A reminder that Adele solidified her stance with the community because of this moment:
Cut the Cameras, A$AP
Early last week the relatively unknown co-founding member of A$AP, A$AP Illz declared that Ferg was no longer part of the group. Known sexual assailant and fuccboi, A$AP Bari apparently confirmed this, but his IG is private and there's no notes app apology going around. This whole situation is confusing, but blessed us with new content and resurfaced an old favorite. Check out this piece from Highsnobiety to learn more about the status of the group.
I guess Rocky is still in Soho and Beverly Hills because just like Ferguson he's not speaking up about this situation either.
Context:
So every time something happens because Iโm black I gotta stand up? What the fuck am I, Al Sharpton now? Iโm A$AP Rocky. I did not sign up to be no political activistโฆ I donโt wanna talk about no fucking Ferguson and shit because I donโt live over there! I live in fucking Soho and Beverly Hills. I canโt relate.
- A$AP Rocky
Even Brockhampton had the slightest semblance of sense needed to kick out a literal abuser
Never forget this out of pocket sequence of words from Rocky...
Stay safe and thanks for reading - Andrรฉs, Mila, and Regynald.
