AT&T Throttling Unlimited Data, what's next?
Started this discussion. Last reply by kifaru Jul 30, 2011. 1 Reply 0 Likes
Man, these phone companies, I'm tellin' you. This is just stupid. I used to be with AT&T so this gets under my skin - they're going to throttle any remaining (read: grandfathered) plan that has…Continue
The Future of Black Music

Everytime I see a "Black" rap video (you know the deal: pimp, hos, drugs and any other negative stereotype we have) and seeing how people praise it so or buy into this crap, I always think of this…Continue
Blogging for AfroPunk pitches

I sent in my pitch to be an AfroPunk blogger and it's my second try (I felt my first one was crappy) but I haven't gotten a reply back. I know you guys are rehashing the site but I was wondering if…Continue

Ugh, I've been fighting with my poor scalp for the longest time. It keeps flaking and getting itchy even. I have permed hair (tho I have thought about wearing it natural but that's someday, not…Continue

- Olivia Haynes
- About Me
- Erm, well, I do a lot of stuff. I like urban spelunking, metaphysics, skating, martial arts, reading, writing, poetry, philosophy, divination, etc. I'm a Pagan Witch, I attend university, hate drug and alcohol use and I own a cat. I like like the gothic lolita fashion style but I'm not adhered to it as I like dressing up as I do. I make a lot of my own stuff such as lip balm and hairfalls. I think that's it. That and I run a blog which is listed as my website on my profile page. I think that probably shows a more thorough picture of me.
- You can be my friend if...
- I try to get along with everyone that I can but I don't like excessive cursing or closed-minded people (they can exist in the punk genre too in case anyone is going, "This is Black punk! We're all outcasts!"). I don't mind if people ask me about my religion or the fact that I practice witchcraft or divination, I really do like it when people do, just ask good questions. You don't like, "Hey you're Black, you gonna rap?" I don't like, "Sooooooo, you're gonna curse me if I make you mad?" I just wanna be friends with people I can pretty much talk to.

A Unforgettable Moment and Change of Pace with Dri Fish and Saul Williams
Posted on September 26, 2012 at 8:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Earlier this month I went to see Saul Williams and Dri Fish perform spoken word here in Baltimore. It was a fantastic show and excuse the crappy photos for I was in the back and with a new camera that apparently sucks at long range.
Femi the Dri Fish's set was short but very well done. Although he performs with a band now, he had his starts as a spoken word poet as part of a duo called 5th L so doing spoken word came…
Continue Black Witch The Arts!: Lupe Fiasco's "B!tch Bad" is Pretty Good

Recently, Lupe Fiasco released the video, “B*tch Bad”, a song off his newest album Food & Liquor 2. Here it is below.
Now, I have words about this. This vid is probably why Lupe will possibly be the only well-known emcee I actually like. Look at the site for the…
Continue Preoccupied with an Empire State of Mind
Posted on October 2, 2011 at 7:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Since September 17th, there has been a long occupation happening in NYC and starting to spread all over the nation and even bits and pieces of the world: Occupy Wall Street.
There has been stirring among the people of America and the rest of the world that I think all of us can relate to in one way or another – hard time finding a job; college feels more like a bait and switch scheme titled “The American Dream” than a pass to bigger and better things; bills, loans and collectors…
