"It's not hard to imagine that a digital ID system, once created, would prove catnip to politicians and lawmakers who could take it even further. If you've already got this ID system ... why not require it for creating social media accounts or logging on to age-gated websites?"

Meg please!

I s******* like insane amounts on our couch and now my partner is walking around like that racist boxer but I’m spending money on a handheld steamer???

My mum is planning on going to Houston, like why is your Black ass wanting to go to America of all places right now

Whew…

Job well done. Rest in power, Sister Assata!

In case anyone was wondering, I looked hot yesterday

A Question for Dementia Don and His Followers?

Ran out of lemons so I couldn’t have my usual hot lemon water this morning. Asked my coworker/friend if she had one at home to bring to work for me and she goes: “oh, that’s not something we use.” I’m sorry… lemons?? Not something you use?? Excuse me WHAT 😳

It’s funny to me that so many folks who spent 2024 decrying fascism are posting condolences and finger wagging about “political violence” over a man who was instrumental to building said fascism. Fakes and phonies. The lot of them.

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy. And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Yes, and cinnamon rolls, and banana pancakes.

My bf came back from work today so gassed because one of his colleagues saw my picture on locked screen and said he held “world record for punching above” 😭😭😭😅

If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.

y'all. you know how humans brought pigeons here, domesticated them & made 'em work, then abandoned them to die... pigeons are the niggas of the birds! AAAAAAND turtledoves are the same gahdamn bird. but look how they get treated... 'CAUSE THEY'RE WHITE

This whole week felt like a waste of time.

I feel for her. American history is layer upon layer of erasure. It’s one of the largest historical cover-ups on record. A monstrously cruel and deeply uncivilized throughline runs through our national story. That’s why those in power and their allies fight so damn hard to erase it.

I know he’s sick of me. constantly stressed 😭

I think someone is getting too fat for his cat tree bed 😭

Apparently you need to eat less food to lose weight. This is nonsense
