In this rare vlog, I catch you up on rollerskating lessons, piano lessons, Bookcon, home decor and the end of my instagram theme. Now that I'm typing this I feel like I should make a helpful guide to instagram themes. It could be fun and also a nice way to end mine officially. Thanks for the idea and that chat, person reading this description.
Also, sorry for some of the audio pops. The setting was bad and Tim is in France. Womp womp.

This black history month has sucked so bad, I figured I couldn't make it so much worse by rapping a song about the extremely amazing Ms. Harriet Tubman. And some other things...
This is a remix of FACTS by Kanye West and Jumpman by Drake.
LYRICS
Harry, Harry, Harry
You can call me Tubman
Harry, Harry, Harry
You can call me Tubman
Harry, Harry, Harry
I feel so accomplished
I done talked a lot of shit
But I just did the numbers
Made it to the TV man
You know they love it
If the South ain't have no slaves
Man they wouldn't have nothin
Those dummies went for Donald T
Man ain't that somethin
I been out here diaspora
Now let's get this money
Harry, Harry, Harry
We just planned for days
Got these racists out here mad
Cause we got away
I stuck to my ROOTS
I'm like Kunta Kinte
Questlove on the drums
I been gettin busy
Every time I talk
They say I'm too aggressive
I was out here plottin
Now y'all get the message
They know that I stay woke
I'm like Donald Glover
They just talk a lot
But they ain't got the numbers
Cut em short like Kevin Hart
When I hear stupid statements
Y'all too grown to be that wrong
And I ain't got the patience
Lookin at the FACTS has
Gotta feel odd
I make way too many racks
To get a real job
I chef em like Steph
I'm finna cook again
Is Kerry Washington
My better lookin twin?
I'm that 2020 Jackson
No Andrew
Only acknowledge Samuel
Obama's still my president
George Washington
I prefer Carver
They say to turn the other cheek
But I prefer karma
From YouTube
Now I'm onto things you
Never thought of
So this September, fuck it
Published. Author.
I dropped a guillotine
on Two Dope Queens
Do either of you really know
What dope means?
Unless it's mediocre
It's a ploy to me
Enjoy it while it lasts
While I laugh and sip this
Royal-tea
Yeah I said it
You ain't gotta feel a way
Where I beheaded
Everything gon be okay
And you know I got it
In my DNA
I'm gon get that EGOT
Shit, I just might get a VMA
Just keep sleepin
Yeah you ain't gotta be awake
Oh now you peekin
Some weekend we gon be onstage
And we say Wakanda Forever
We say Wakanda Forever
We say Wakanda Forever
We say Wakanda Forever
You can book me
once you've sent my amount
Can't explain the feeling when
it hits my account
I'm turning these views
to a view in a house
I be makin moves like
Bitch I'm a cow
It's kinda funny
but this kinda money is not really a joke
I do not cover it up
I'm not Olivia Pope
Bet I still get away with it
Like Annalise
Case closed. I meant casket
I killed you two
And this beat
Shot at 368

Out EVERYWHERE September 24, 2019! Mark your calendars or just preorder.
It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without a dope video to watch. My bad. In that time I've been on TV and elsewhere online and also FINISHING THIS BOOK UP! It's a book of comedic essays for the YA crowd about growing up in the south during the internet's adolescence, moving to New York, friendships, this industry, blood-feuds, and bad skin. This book has it all and I'm so excited to finally unleash it on the world.
FAQ:
Is there a cover?
As of today, it has not been finalized, but we did shoot images for the cover that I think you will absolutely love.
Will there be an audio book?
Yes! I'll be reading it so you can hear my soothing voice and jubilant inflection.
Are you doing a book tour?
Almost certainly, dates TBD.
Who is publishing the book?
Razorbill, and imprint of Penguin
Did you miss me?
Yes, I missed you terribly. I won't be gone that long for a very long time. I'm *back back*

I wanna make these videos like Vogue's 73 questions, but less questions because who knows where I'll be wandering around and if there will be an impressive patio or a bar like in Neil Patrick Harris' episode?

Over the course of 2 and a half days in Cannes we shot at the Hotel Martinez (Rihanna and Charlize Theron stayed there during the Cannes Film Festival), a gorgeous flower market, the Jean Luc Pele patisserie (he even dropped in to say hello), the beach, the coast, and so many more locations. It was the best trip of my entire life and I'm hoping Samsung takes me all over the world. Maybe somewhere in Africa or Asia next? Hmm? Where would you go?

Tipsy Book Review is back just in time for summer! Try a watermelon margarita and check out Hot Dog Taste Test. It's a super easy read and the perfect thing to make you laugh at the beach or on a plane.
Also super not sorry for how many times I said "like" because alcohol is real.

Watch the video. My bike got stolen from me, and then I stole it back. There's really not much else to say. Apparently taking a bike in broad daylight is not so difficult after all.
If you came here to dislike the video because you watched some lonely dork's video from his dorm room, reevaluate your life.
I made the drawings for this video on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 if you're wondering. Not spon' but yeah, I used the Autodesk Sketch app and I think I'll experiment more in the future.

VOICE or Victims of Immigrant Crime Engagement, is one of the more blatant attacks on immigrants in this nation and feeds into the fallacy that this country is better when it is more homogenous. It also seems to neglect the fact that this country was kind of founded on immigrant crime against the indigenous peoples who lived here, but I'm sleep.
Why won't Donald Trump just focus on "bringing back jobs" or improving our healthcare system? Because maybe he and the GOP know that those are hardly conservative values, especially when invoking hatred through misleading rhetoric earns them so many votes. Ugh.

Here's a different war.
Donald Trump's war on weed is part of a long GOP tradition that does nothing for public health, but makes big bucks for private prisons and destroys minority communities due to unfair policing. It's awful.

If you didn't know, VEDA is "vlog everyday april" which was once a sacred YouTube holiday month, but basically you can vlog for a full month in any month these days. IDK if I'm going to make it to the end tbh. A lot of this month will be spent traveling which makes it pretty hard to stay consistent. So--WE'LL SEE. If nothing else this will make me get out of my apartment more.
Today my friend Rhiannon (a DC area photographer) and her boy came to town and we had brunch at Spritzenhaus in Greenpoint. I love that biergarten and it was her first time in Brooklyn. Suffice it to say I wish she would just move here.

The idea that all YouTubers are equal to the worst of their parts just doesn't fly. We don't apply that logic to any other medium. You wouldn't say that Planet Earth is just as bad as the worst reality show. You wouldn't claim that a Monet painting is on par with a crappy finger painting. It's bad reasoning, it's reductive, and it only makes them seem out of touch.

Petition: change.org/p/ask-advertisers-to-stop-supporting-buzzfeed-video-s-idea-theft
Read my post on Medium about #StopBuzzThieves to get caught up: medium.com/@AkilahObviously/hey-peretti-5e4730e5fa54#.f4xphk935
BuzzFeed Video is a corporate giant pretending to be your best friend--that preys on your insecurities and short attention spans with mind-numbing content. It's just dumb premises recycled or stolen again and again. They are taking dollars out of the pockets of your favorite creators and instead of giving $ to the people they've hired to populate their shit content, they spread it amongst the most senior staff. Don't support it. Watch original, talented, independent creators. Share original creators' work. Unsubscribe from all of BuzzFeed's properties and remember what it's like to experience good, ORIGINAL thought-provoking content.
For the ~few~ talented creators who are working at BuzzFeed: I hope that you find employment that doesn't double as exploitation in the future and I hope you stand up against the plagiarism your company perpetuates. It makes ALL of you look bad, even those of you that actually have skills and creativity. BuzzFeed won't be loyal to you, hope you know your worth.

On January 29th, 2017, NYC residents gathered again (after the JFK airport protest -- Casey Neistat did a nice round up of that) to protest Donald Drumpf's executive orders barring refugees from entering the country.
***Also-- a message to YouTubers and influencers: now's the time to speak up. I know money and brand deals are nice. I know that. But Desmond Tutu said it best: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Stand up and speak out or expect to be forgotten when we make it out of this nightmare.

I went to LA and collab'd with Kingsley, Ari Fitz, Meghan Tonjes, Swoozie, and Miles Jai and you're going to be beside yourself with wonderment when those videos come out. Also, this was the busiest week ever and I got sick at the end of it. Of course I did.

This #ad is brought to you by Saban and Power Rangers! xx
When Zordon asked if I wanted to be a Power Ranger for a day of course I said yes. Then I proceeded to fight with my roommate and take interviews about how hard the job is.

Here's the list:
1. Godiva for hot chocolate or coffee cause "baby, it's cold outside."
2. Rockefeller Center (but avoid Top of the Rock -- too cold, too busy) for ice skating and tree selfies.
3. The Nintendo Store. Good gifts, but also a nice hideout from the cold
4. Saks Fifth Avenue -- windows and light show
5. Bryant Park's #WinterVillage - Check out the shops, more ice skating, Facebook has an installation, and it's less busy than 30 Rock.
6. Macy's! Go write Santa a letter and play on the big piano!
I've lived in New York for nearly 5 years, and I still get super excited about Christmas here vs. basically anywhere else on the planet. So many of my memories are of watching movies about the city, and now that I'm here I'd love to show you all the best places to go and things to do in Manhattan during this holly jolly time.

Jar Jar Binks is no one's favorite Star Wars character, and yet, he is decidedly better for office than Donald J. Trump. Thank you, Twitter, for helping me come to this conclusion.
