Hey, hi, it's me, mama Q.
I welcome you to Moments in QASMR episode.
In this episode, I willtitillate your ear with my voice
and random sounds.
In Q today, 60 seconds ofheaven.
What's going on?
It's Kevin and Croak on thejoke.
(01:52):
So so, so, so, so, so, so, so,so, so, so, so, so, so, so.
(03:05):
So what's going on in thissegment?
I'll tell you what's been goingon in my life since last
episode.
I've been busy finishing uptraining at the new job.
I had a huge test, hence why Ididn't record.
Two weeks ago, lucky foreveryone, I passed the final
whoa.
I wrote these notes a while ago, so things might be outdated.
(03:26):
Also, I want to blame Boothang,because he had somewhere to be
and he had to beg me To spendsome time with him, so that's
why it's late as well.
But, as I said before, I'llshow up twice a week, every two
weeks.
It's just a look over the drawwhat day it's gonna be.
(03:46):
So anyway, like I said, I wrotethese notes a while ago, so
things might be outdated.
Oh well, boo thing and I arecontinuing to be outside.
We've been hanging with friendsand catching up on our lives.
This mercury retrograde hasbeen kicking my booty hole.
That's brown.
I got into it with about threepeople.
(04:07):
One person asked me to dosomething.
I did it and they were mad,trying to come for me with the
usual boring shit oh you're 40years old.
Oh you're too old to be messy.
Oh you're a mom go take care ofyour kids.
And I'm like kids.
I got kid kid.
So I handled it in the bestpetty, professional way I could.
(04:28):
A few days passed, I shout outmy ancestors for my blessings
via social media.
I told my social media friendsthat ancestors aren't demonic.
Try it out.
A Christian felt triggered bymy status.
The Christian felt that Godshould get the glory.
It was some back and forth.
I can't be cool, though.
I reminded the christian theoptions of scrolling, talking to
(04:52):
their sky daddy and sittingwith themselves to earn
internally unpack why they feltthe need to comment on my page.
I think christians like that areeither mad that a non-Christian
like myself, I'm not beingpunished for venerating my
ancestor, or is jealous that I'mfree and out of the broom
(05:12):
closet.
They wish they could outlay, bedifferent or explore other
religions or spiritualities.
I can't speak for thatChristian or other Christians
that constantly want me topractice their religion.
For that Christian or otherChristians that constantly want
me to practice their religion,it's a shame, even if it's a
thing that Christians gotta gothrough life with sharing the
good news of Jesus or God.
Maybe both as for me and myfamily, we will venerate the
(05:35):
ancestors it's giving.
I'm giving you theencouragement to make it through
the week.
Let's tackle eating thatelephant together, one bite at a
time.
My boo think and I recently hada discussion about inclusion.
Easter was last month andsomeone I don't like put me in a
(05:59):
group text to say happy Easter,being intentional and petty.
I told him I was offended andwanted to tell the person that I
don't like that I'm not aChristian, therefore I do not
celebrate Easter.
Bull thing felt like it did.
If it doesn't apply, let it fly.
I disagree, though.
Other people, part of majoritygroups, get to see themselves
(06:21):
reflected.
Some Christians were upset thatPresident Biden proclaimed
Transvisibility Day on Easter.
A quick Google search wouldallow them to learn that this
isn't some kind of agendaagainst Sky Daddy, but an annual
day.
That Easter happened to fall onthat year Well, I mean this
year.
Both thoughts are.
(06:42):
The US can't possibly beinclusive to everyone all the
time.
My argument is why not?
And if not inclusive,understand that everything and
everyone is not about you.
So I'm giving you theencouragement to take a step
back, research and examine whyyou feel offended.
Are you offended because yourthoughts and beliefs are not the
(07:04):
majority, therefore you don'tfeel included?
Or do you feel like everyoneshould think and believe like
you do?
Is your desire for acceptancerooted in privilege that
everyone must cater to?
And, lastly, it's your offensedue to your religion, gender or
race always being at theforefront?
So you can't help but assumeand get used to the fact that it
(07:26):
is.
Sit and meditate with that.
I think that was shadow work andspeaking of shadow work, I did
that was shadow work andspeaking of shadow work, I did
that earlier today because thereare some people that I don't
like and so I was training todayand it was pretty boring.
So I was like, let me do someshadow work and I was able to
(07:46):
unpack why I dislike thesepeople.
I wrote down all the reasonsand I really really like it
helped me figure out, once I putit on paper, why I felt the way
.
Now, of course, it's stupid, inmy opinion, to be jealous or
envious or to dislike someone,with the reasons that I wrote.
But as I unpacked it I was ableto understand a whole lot more.
(08:09):
So, like some of the things Iwrote down Was like whole lot
more.
So, like some of the things Iwrote down was like there's this
person who I feel, like the waythat their relationship, um,
origin story was, I didn't likeit.
It just seemed like that personwasn't a good fit.
But I had to think about it andbe like well, duh, that person
(08:30):
that woman's husband is unfit inmy opinion, but that doesn't
mean that that person that'shusband is unfit in my opinion,
but that doesn't mean that thatperson that the husband is unfit
for her.
Then I had to think some moreabout like why, um, sometimes
people I used to work with Idon't want to befriend them or
stay with them as friends onsocial media, and why do I
(08:51):
follow some of the contentcreators that I do and things of
that nature and I don't know.
It really helped me out.
And I think again that otherpeople should continue to do the
shadow work or go to therapy.
I'm always an advocate oftherapy.
So, anyway, get your mindtogether.
You're welcome, let's get itpopping.
(09:22):
I blow out the bubblessurrounding pop culture and talk
about it.
Everyone on TikTok is talkingabout their scariest gospel song
, the celebrities that dissregular people just speaking
conspiracy theories about thebridge which rip to those
families and friends affected,how people view blackness, such
as the mayor of baltimore, kpdiddy, drake, uh, jayco and a
(09:49):
whole lot more.
Damn a lot has happened.
I'm not gonna comment on allthe points, so go to tmc and any
other social media account forthe scoops.
I will, however, comment onsome things I saw on social
media to keep in call withreligion and spirituality.
I saw a post that said teachyour children about african
(10:12):
spirituality so they won't thinkhonoring their ancestors is
demonic.
Of course, people agreed,disagreed and inquired about the
status.
To each his own.
You already know which side I'mon.
A mutual reposted that and itsurprised me that mutual
understood and the comments wererefreshing.
(10:34):
Something about the words ofveneration and worship fucks
people's head up each and everytime.
Some people can acknowledgeheavenly birthdays or death
anniversaries, talk about beingvisited in dreams, pour out
liquor and go to the cemetery.
But veneration is too much.
It's too similar to worship.
(10:55):
The ancestors ain't deities.
They are the same as they wasnow and then, which I'm pretty
sure.
I've already said that.
Anyway, those type ofChristians make me do the rock
eyebrow, but I fucks with theacceptance.
Then a repost from that mutualwas talking about trans people,
two steps back.
(11:16):
Lastly, I want to talk aboutscary gospel songs.
I don't have a scary gospelsong, but I do have a gospel
song.
I've always disliked my boothing and I talked about it, but
I still stand on my annoyance.
Maybe I got work to do.
The gospel song is thank youabout Walter Hawkins.
I get that.
The song should be interpretedas thank you, lord, for not
(11:38):
letting me be like these people,similar, I guess, to my
gratitude that I show myancestors.
I personally don't find joy inothers misfortunes.
Look, I know I've been changed.
I have so much empathy forpeople because life has kicked
my ass too Sympathy for notknowing what causes people to do
what they do.
(11:58):
To a certain degree, I wantfolks to be safe.
I don't intervene, though.
And also, earlier this week, mysister and I we talked a little
bit about um, about who do, andAfrican spirituality.
So there's this woman I saw onfacebook.
She's a mom, and so like, whatshe talked about was the fact
(12:21):
that her 11 year old son hasbeen wilding the fuck out and
therefore she cut off like twoof his locks.
Now, again, you're, I'm not aChristian, but I do dig some of
the fables within the Bible.
So of course there's that oldSamson and Delilah, when he had
(12:43):
his locks cut and that took awayhis power.
And then I also think aboutwhen it comes to spirituality,
especially within Udu, because,again, that's all I know is that
from time to time, we cover ourhair for many different reasons
.
We might cover our hair ifwe're doing a working.
We might cover our hair ifwe're entering somebody's house
(13:05):
to cleanse, to do a spiritualcleansing of their house.
We might cover our hair when wego to the cemetery or to
funerals, like we do all thesethings, um, to protect ourselves
.
And so I don't know.
I was extremely triggered for somany reasons, for when I read
about it.
(13:26):
First of all, like other peoplesay, I miss us using our
diaries to talk, because to me Ifelt like this was a stupid
thing to say and it was broughta lot abusive in my opinion, but
like I felt that, no matter howwild that the sun has been, I
felt like, damn, you know,cutting his hair to me shouldn't
(13:49):
have been done, or whatever.
I felt like more things couldhappen.
Now, according to the mom, shesaid that they've been going to
therapy and stuff.
And okay, I'm a believer aboutthe therapy, but I still think
there's something.
Oh now, my mentor, pamelaWilliams, had talked about many
times before with me aboutseeing or knowing people with
(14:12):
attachments, and I never quiteunderstood it.
Now, of course, I believed her,of course, and stuff, but I
could never like, correlate orunderstand, like, how do you
know that this person has anattachment, and it's not just I
don't know their personality, orsomething like.
And oh my gosh, it clicked forme, in my opinion.
(14:34):
Obviously, I wondered if theparent and or the child had some
kind of attachment attached tothem, like literally like an
attachment to the fact that likemakes the parent want to be
abusive, okay, and or to havethe child to wild out, to be
(14:58):
abusive, okay, and or to havethe child to wild out, or.
Another thought in my headabout it was like, okay, maybe
it's not that it's just them,it's the parent repeating the
cycle of all she has probablyever known because I saw so many
people in the comments sayingjust beat his ass and I don't
know.
It just reminded me back toenslavement days of the enslaved
Africans getting whooped andhow.
(15:20):
Now some people will whooptheir children because you know,
of course, the bible, spare therod, blah, blah, blah.
But like from my readings andstuff of enslaved, it was due
for punishment for them runningaway like the fuck or, you know,
to keep them in line.
And I feel like sometimespeople will do things that was
(15:43):
done to them because it theymade them feel like they turned
out to be better or that that'sall they knew.
I know for me that the womanthat gave birth to me, in my
opinion, was very abusive, sotherefore what I did not want to
do was I didn't want to have umweapons or abuse my child.
(16:03):
So up until she was like fiveshe did get weapons, but I made
sure I wasn't mad at her when Igave her the weapons.
I made sure it was like five orten of them.
I didn't want it to be too muchand I did everything that I
thought I could to help her out,like explained to her why she
got a whooping and of coursepeople thought that I parented
like a white person, but again,as someone who received those
(16:25):
whoopings for me, it did moreharm than good.
It made me want to be, like um,fearful of the woman that gave
birth to me and stuff.
So I didn't want to parent infear and I'm pretty sure I've
told that story before but Ichanged it and where, instead of
(16:45):
the weapons, I would, of course, make her do physical exercises
and then when she got a littleolder, I would take away her
electronics from her and thingsof that nature, and if things go
too crazy, I have a talk withher therapist so that her
therapist can reach out to herwhen it comes to their um
sessions, so that we can get tothe bottom.
(17:07):
And I really personally don'tneed to know what's going on, I
just want to provide her withthe help.
So, in my opinion, I think thatthe way I'm raising my child
might seem quote-unquote white,but I feel like it's a very
loving and healthy environment,more so than anything that I had
growing up.
So it's always to each its own,but I just don't see the reason
(17:30):
in wanting to abuse thechildren.
So, anyway, that's what's beengoing on with pop culture.
Croak on the joke.
That's where I give you mybestest jokes and we laugh
together, or not?
Today's joke I tried to come upwith a carpentry bun that would
(17:51):
work.
I think I nailed it, but nobodysaw.
Welp, guess that's my cue toleave.
