Might bake cookies this week. Just for a little pick me up

The classic PBS children’s show Reading Rainbow is officially back, with the series securing a 24-episode pickup.

Big Smurfette never da little one

saging and febrezeing recent events with one of the few Black Queer actors out there about Black love 🤎

The British government manufactured a whole famine that lead to Irish people starving to death. . . and you think their racism against BLACK people can't/isn't/won't be lethal? Baby. . . you're asleep at the wheel. Wake up, please.

It's Niecy Nash's birthday and......

Black filmmaker Jonte Richardson says he is stepping down as a BAFTA judge:

This makes more sense now

I also want to say that Ryan and Wumni’s win is completely eclipsed by this which is yet another moment black folks aren’t allowed to celebrate their win, just like with Moonlight’s win. Even when black folks win, they have to be embarrassed and humiliated instead of celebrated.

Also, by not apologizing, he is doing further harm to the Tourette community by making people think that all people with Tourette’s just go around carrying racist sentiments that conveniently only show up in front of Black people.

Actually knowing how to talk in Atlanta, which is in Georgia, which is in the south, does indeed matter if you are a…checks notes here…democratic politician with national ambitions. And black people are pretty sharp when it comes to the “jive talk” code switch. But okay Saeed said logoff

Everything is fine.

he's such an introvert

It’s bad so many people setup these little shell accounts so they can continually harass Black people.

BREAKING: Shackled migrants, federal agents and ICE-contracted guards have been stuck on an ICE deportation plane since 1 a.m. Monday, confirms NH state rep and aviation journalist @wandrme.paxex.aero. My story: gillianbrockell.ghost.io/breaking-sha...

instead of asking Black people to stop being suspicious ... take seriously our suspicions Our suspicions are rooted in truth

Meeting new scholars and supporting them as they submit to the Journal of Black Language and Culture @jblackstream.bsky.social is the highlight of my life right now! If you want a meeting, reach out! I'm happy to meet with you and learn about your work! #MondayMotivation

LONDON (AP) — Police say former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson arrested in misconduct probe over his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.

Not a drag queen

A genuine, sincere apology never includes an “if”.

Organized White Award Show proves to be racist..

It’s just people struggle with the idea that “ A Black person was hurt and no one did what was needed to prevent or repair that “ And stopping there . They want constant reassurance all the time that no matter what they do there will also be a way to keep access

The fact that it would have never been allowed to air on a US broadcast even with a 5 second delay, but the BBC kept it in? Miss me with all those claims that the UK is less racist.

That man just wanted to say that slur🤷🏾‍♂️ Prime space and opportunity. I won’t be convinced otherwise.

i’m not falling for the “he didn’t mean what he said” propaganda, either. he meant that shit.

The man discovered “that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other vacuums across 24 countries.”

And the hits just keep on coming... during Black History Month.

NEW: ProPublica recently reported that the U.S. Forest Service knowingly issued protective gear containing PFAS to wildland firefighters. The agency says it has now stopped distributing those garments. By @abestreep.bsky.social

In response to the very complicated situation that happened at the BAFTAs, it's important to center the voices of those with the overlapping identities involved. Because intersectionality is useful, y'all!

the category is: moisture

Makin some of these this morning 🙂‍↕️🤤

The theme for Pluto in Aquarius seems to be “you gonna learn today”. Love to see it.

& Hannah Beachler’s (Sinners production designer) mentions on the other app is filled with actual racists and bots who think reflective posts (her response isn’t mean nor ableist, so don’t bother to condescend) about being called N-word because it means they have to consider BW as human/vulnerable.

In light of everything, a reminder: "The most visible layer as a Black disabled person is our Blackness, which is constantly under the threat of scrutiny, assumed guilt, and, as logically follows, persecution." - Tinu Abayomi-Paul in #TheBlackAgendaBook

They can’t even call me girl tbh

Delroy Lindo told Vanity Fair that he and Michael B. Jordan “did what we had to do” while presenting but that he also wished “someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterward”

"I just wrote about this last month in regard to ICE agents, but ICE eventually goes home. State troopers are home. They live here with us." www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Grace. Hmmm

Elijah McClain deserved grace.

This is what happens when folks keep casting Black Brits to play Black Americans because they’re caught up in the hollow “prestige” idea of the Brits.

Why is it Monday AGAIN?! I’m so sick of this…
