I haven’t a good verbal sparring in a while. Hearing things like “I know where you live cause I made the down payment” and “I say regular words that are tricky to you” I fear my toxic trait may be popping up…

I remember my last years teaching I intentionally started doing DBQs. Best decision I ever made! Bring them back!!!

We’ll see the reach this gets but…let’s give mutual aid a try. (Say a prayer for my notifications.) Those in need: Drop your Cash app, Venmo, and/or Zelle in this thread. Those in a position to help: Give what you can to those in need. Comment something under their post so we can spread the aid.

The way this lady just called my zodiac sign off very little info and I wasn’t even talking to her.

I just love being Black.

Season 9 of Love is Blind is…YIKES

Don’t jump me but definitely told a friend some of y’all DMV niggas are career horny.

I am Black people.

I’ll never forget I was at a gospel live recording and before it even started for real the people wanted to prerecord praise and applause. AND DID MULTIPLE TAKES. The way I just looked around….

What’s a #BlackHistory moment you won’t forget? youtu.be/O2cShJ2upnY?...

Who you are is way more important than who you aren’t.

I think the international working class will need to come together to make boycotts like the Disney one work. Platforms (even this one) create accessible opportunities to coordinate direct action.

Tylenol becoming a part of political disinformation is actually insane.

With government agencies being less and less reliable, reply with CREDIBLE external entities that people can follow, bookmark, etc. to get vital information that we once relied on federally.

What was the last thought provoking question you were asked?

In the words of my coworker, “Y’all as smart as y’all look.”

ADULTING

In today’s edition of tmi…when I drive barefoot, I only really use my big toe on the pedals.

Saw some lashes that cast their own shadow…

I am dumbfounded that people can be in relationships, platonic and romantic, where you don’t discuss complex issues and topics at all. I’m not saying that you have to always center it but damn not at all…what do y’all be talking about?

Some people are fully persuaded to be an enemy of progress.

This is y’all job regardless BUT…shoutout to the parents who are trying really hard to raise decent humans. It’s difficult managing your shit and be consistent.

*scratches out this long ass caption and replaces with CLIMATE CHANGE*

These summer storms are getting out of hand. A flood watch every other day. Thunder and lightning regularly.

Can’t even be mad at it. apnews.com/article/dc-c... l

I just know some of y’all brains be so smooth.

Y’all gotta relax on the AI headshots…they’re not really hitting the way you might think.

A lot of Black humor is rooted in Black trauma.

My Lyft driver pronouncing Muni Long and Giveon is sending me!

Getting old…the youngins did they big one with SYBAU

Finished @jalbertmann.bsky.social‘s Shift Happens & learned the term “microwork”. Just learned about this company & the partnerships they have with companies that appear to replace the labor that workers would typically do. Lots of potential implications for the working class! shiftsmart.com/workers

The notion of “I’m obeying orders” is a response of someone whose soul is exiting their body. It’s not a viable excuse.

The feeling your scalp has after a good shampoo and conditioner!

Churchy folks love a denim casual fit

Hate and violence is everyone’s problem.
