🧐 Huge day for that guy you know who only listens to music made by Black people and gets his “taste” from Instagram moodboard accounts: the A.P.C. x Clarks Originals collaboration is out.🧐
I hear you, but that doesn’t quite address what gave me pause. It’s less about who wrote it or who it’s about, and more about Black music/culture being used in the setup alongside “taste” in quotes and the moodboard reference. As a Black woman, that combination still lands oddly for me, almost as if Black cultural consumption is part of a/the punchline.
So disappointing the uncritical endorsement of the Meta glasses.
not an endorsement
Shilling for Meta glasses? I’ve never unsubscribed so fast.

Yeah, that stood out even more than the Meta coverage.
