It’s the same with disability and it’s absolutely toxic The minute folk decide the disabled person isn’t meeting the stereotypical picture in their heads they not only demonise that one person but they become a stand in for all disabled folks. It’s a quick and easy way to condemn a whole community.

Please learn how to use an EpiPen!! Even if you don’t have allergies.

Like I said.

Black farmers were systematically targeted by the U.S. government through racist USDA practices, denial of federal aid, and violence. The result: a 90% loss of Black-owned farmland from the early 1900s to the late 1990s. www.naacpldf.org/case-issue/b...

I really did it with my to-do list today.

I would like to mention again that menstrual products are covered by FSA funds. fsastore.com - so if you find yourself with money left on the table by the end of the year, consider using those funds and donate the products [pantries, homeless shelters etc...]

There are glasses frames that are off limits to me even when I get my lenses compressed 😞

SIGH It's giving people with high prescriptions a bad look and ruining black frames. My lenses are thick because I can not see NOT because I like to scam. 🤓=\=🥸

It is very difficult for humans who get a bad piece of information that is antithetical to what they know of someone to incorporate it into their version of that person. It's why so many people defend predators, because they NEVER saw nor suspected that version of the person. It seems unbelievable.

Small ballerinas are wonderful even when they start to tell you about posture 😂 it's for my own good.

In honor of Misty Copeland hanging her pointe shoes in the rafters...a running thread of Black girl ballerinas.... Starting with home, claro que si... youtu.be/_4WHVRzaohw?...

Lots of 💥 in the season 3 finale. Wow.

In the aughts they were calling a lot of Black Natives urban.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

'Tis flavoured ginger ale season 🫧

Fund Me Fridays is back! In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I will be reposting mutual aid links under this thread. Drop your links and let’s meet some needs!

One of the reasons I believe in UBI and social housing ? Is because aise it helps stop , scams , grift and emotional manipulation … You can’t work? You should be safe ! You don’t want to work ? ….. it’s harder for you to use. Manipulation and abuse to decimate people

Started scorpio season with clear mammogram 🫶🏾

maybe an outlandish pair of glasses would fix me

America never wants to preserve what Black people build why should the White House be any different ? www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/w...

It is forbidden for us but maybe I got McDonald's money after all 😂🤔

that nazi tattoo guy isn't even working class his grandad was a famous architect he went to private school he was a military officer (who thought the troops he commanded were scum) it's the performance of a stereotype that presents fascism as the only alternative to the status quo

Wrote this yesterday chanda.bearblog.dev/knowledge-is...

😮‍💨 Not calling in a big order. You should tip regardless but tip extra because someone that should be assisting in the front is probably getting sent back to the kitchen to make more. They will be understaffed in the front and working double time in the back.

Misty Copeland took her final bow as an American Ballet Theatre principal dancer on Wednesday, a role she's had for the past 10 years.

Hey so if you think other people should have less resources because YOU don’t need those resources, you suck.

I would need to really believe the 500K is locked in. Given the state of **waves hand at everything** my institutional trust is low so I'd likely take the $10 mil. I already mask in public, so I'd make do.

Saying to be against gen ai “is ableist” is actual ableism! You’re not only dismissing thousands of years of art and work done by disabled people, who have always been creating, but by supporting ai you also cutting off a big source of income for many disabled artists on top of stealing their work

Nobody ever believes us about anything And now here we are

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Thomas Jefferson’s views about Black intellect governing his beloved university

My pet peeve is people saying they are zero tolerance on a type of harm but it's actually 3 to infinity and beyond strikes.

When Blackface happens in the South more non-Black people seem to understand why I can't be friends with the offender.

Good ole boy network things.

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit. "Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

BFFR 😂

There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second: Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

No your brother is a Nazi. Marine here and we never took any body's symbols

I don't like education reparations because it still puts me in a world where many of my relatives are deceased or incarcerated. At this point so many people have gone out of their way to be really clear that credentials don't mean anything when they belong to me so there's that too.

The Sinister Sisters is chilling fun with Black horror stories as kids gather around a campfire to swap frights. Check it out!

I bit ago I read the Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson with my book club. It's a Carrie retelling with some necessary depictions of interracial relationships.

Oh, Jesus FUCKING CHRIST

I've been made out to be an adult bully for how I dealt with some teenagers (multiple genders) going through a swastika phase by creating distance and removing my family from the situation. It takes one escalation for a child to end up dead.

it's weird when both left and right can't seem to agree that nazis are bad and nazi symbolism is bad and hanging out with nazis is bad and revenue sharing with nazis is bad and

If you’re not the primary target of racism, sexism, harassment, bigotry, et cetera, then you don’t really get to define what it is or isn’t because you’re likelier to shift the goalposts to avoid being clocked as a *perpetrator*

I defined it as the four P Pedestal Problem Prophet Posthumous

The reality is a lot of people who support decent class policies have racist backgrounds and it makes me wonder how the "it's not race, it's class" progressive and leftist discourse may be part of the problem. Anyways, racial justice work needs to be central to class politics.
