just ordered yeye’s shield from @brujabanton.bsky.social so excitedddd. could i also pop a little in my mop water or a little in a spray bottle?

adding mona to that podcast >

I’m in love with this woman so bad. I really needed to get that out 😭

i have thoughts about miss coco 😭

START THROWING BRICKS!

Colin Allred was an NFL linebacker, it's time to call a blitz!

idk either the faith community ain’t what it used to be OR it is more itself than ever before. but either way, speaking for myself locally, i was tryna talk to a pastor about organizing and he told me to hurry up cause his time is money.

I truly believe one key difference is that America is deeply hobbled by anti-Black racism. Yet has depended on Black protest and resistance — based in religion and faith groups — to advance democracy for all groups. I don’t know how this iteration of regression will be solved.

ABSOLUTELY! Get auntie off the front lines and get some folks ready to risk it out there. These photo ops and TikToks aint moving the needle.

And AGAIN...I'm not judging you if you not trying to fight. Sweatergawd. A non-fighter is going to make it harder to win. But for the love of god, this ain't a pacifist situation. You want to meet violence with policy? You deadass?

I have a wife and two children. If my choice is to fight or hope for the courts to protect my BLACK ASS FAMILY, I'm going to trust the fight. I'm not telling YOU to fight. I'm telling YOU to gtf out the way so fighters can fight.

I don't think it's cowardly to choose not to fight. Particularly when that's not your skill set. I have no interest in seeing Maxine Waters scuffling with armed security. But stop acting like we aren't going to have to meet physicality with physicality. You're being fucking ridiculous

Idk man. If you bite your tongue to much you'll bite it off

“This is how the system works” “ I am telling right now it doesn’t work that way” “You just don’t know enough” “Okay but it doesn’t work and will break like this” *system breaks* “ HOW DARE THE SYSTEM BETRAY ME !! LISTENING TO YOU IS WHY IT FAILED “ “That’s what you call listening?!?!?”

It absolutely emboldens them

Infuriating watching these politicians be afraid to do what's necessary because they want to maintain a moral charade.

but tbh this is why i got out of the politics in my city as quickly as i entered. im not with the pleasantries. i saw first hand that a lot of people not willing to lose anything for this shit but will be the first to want me dead. no thank you.

the inability to meet the moment.

You know what, I think I would at least like that. I'm looking at the group and I know they old as hell but at least start cussing like people your age. I should be hearing at least one or two muthafuckas

They not even cussing the rando out 😂 polite and respectful resistance on line 1.

Demonized and marginalized the activists and wonder why there’s no mass mobilization. Demonized and marginalized the elected progressives and wonder why there’s no fighters in Congress. All the “fuck around and find out” people are starting to do a lot of navel gazing.

We gonna "civility" ourselves right back into slavery while being told "don't overreact" all the way to the fucking gallows. "He won't win" until he did. "He can't implement project 2025" until he's doing it. "That illegal!" But no one is enforcing the law. Enjoy your days.

we need Congress people with the ability to fight. If you can simply be told "no" and you go away, you aren't advocating for me in any meaningful way. I can't imagine telling my family "i went to the bank and they told me i can't have out money so we just can't eat."

“bitch up in one term” 😭😭😭😭

where im at w/ it. you picked politics and you say it’s life or death. then show me. you riding for my ‘rights’ show me.

hey now say now

And this is why they shouldn't have alienated the protest communities.....

@marisakabas.bsky.social a picture is worth a thousand words, they say.

oh my god?

love God down but now ain’t the time for Bible scriptures cause the Bible is partly responsible for why we’re here.

as serious as everything is right now a lot of shit is equally funny to me 😭

I wrote about Target. open.substack.com/pub/afutured...

if nothing else sounds crazy folks believing that an area with a target can be a food desert sounds crazy as FUCK lmaoooo

the amount of black writers moving to Substack is really beautiful.

this summer i asked my public library to order @itsjujubae.bsky.social’s book for me. they ordered one for each branch 16 in total. went to put it on hold today bc i wanted to reread something & 8 of them are checked out currently. i love that for juju and the folks. 🥹🤍

i cannot wait to subscribe to @honeycelestial.bsky.social this weekend. i give my folks coffee every morning, folgers, and i’d been thinking about what about a better quality, more ethically sourced and boom caught up on her newsletter and confirmation.

this is so real lmao

im constantly on the verge of tears when i think of the increase in abundance in my life lately. these past few years have been SO hard but lately? beautiful. warming. loving.

I’ve been really dedicated to my folks lately and the way they have been showing out in this realm and my dreams is amazing.

@peoplesoracle.bsky.social hi! I was wondering if the year 1971 came up in any of your work as we head into 2025 or even from this year. Im watching 1971: the year that changed everything on Apple TV and I was just curious noticing things.

about to take my bike out for a spin. hope i don’t stray too far from home lmaooo

(the $90 hoodie my girl sold y’all not being silk lined is yet another example I would point out to show y’all that the money grabbing has no rhyme or reasoning b/c *to me* that seems obvious if it were a well intentioned drop that was meant to benefit its customers & not just grab money from them)

(Also the hoodie is fuckin ugly as shit)

a live look at me after eating sweet potato pound cake and jeni’s eggnog ice cream

i want employers to too combining jobs. i want a social media job, not videography and graphic design.

getting that lil canes card is apparently clutch cause buy one get one free box combos? baby thank ya

I’ve def smoked with my dad before and my mom was so mad. she asked my dad about it and he said, “what? i like smoking with the kids they have all kinda exotic shit” 😭😭

the beginning of euphoria is literally prophetic.

You feel me? Is the preservation of Black culture not important to you? That’s suspicious!!
