Racists online saw this photo, doxxed her, and found out she had a previous arrest (the charge later being dismissed). Meanwhile she is a mentally disabled working mom minding her business. If someone can put me in contact, I’m happy to offer her a housing relief stipend thurmanperryfoundation.org

Our superpowers as Humans lie in our adaptability and an imagination that pushes the limits of impossibility every day...

if you're looking for a new read, i highly suggest this book. especially if you've read Sapiens (which is imperial propaganda written by a Zionist). top-down power structures of domination are not all we are capable of.

"Americans love a winner!!! The USWNT had won four world cups, five olympic golds, nine concacaf trophies, and is the most successful team in global women's football. But they're not men so...🤷🏾‍♂️ The men have never made it past the quarters yet every four years we gotta act like "this is the one!"

bell hooks calls the singular system "imperialist white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy" for a reason...

okay, now that I'm 3 mins late for work, let me finally get up out of bed, shower, take the dog out, etc 😅

just more capitalism capitalisming, that's all. the natural progression under current incentive structures is a monopoly-like endgame. this means lockout and control.

perspectives and viewpoints will never align 100% between two different people. it's physically impossible. identical twins, with the same parents and childhood, standing right next to each other, will still view a room from two slightly different angles. it's physics.

something about @chantalalive.blacksky.app telling her story that completely shifted the way I view "mad ppl". i pride myself on my general empathy, but somehow her sharing de-othered much of whatever othering was left in my perceptions.

i was just thinking about this in my latest job hunt and started applying to places I didn't want for the practice.

Men, know what you do instead of saying not all men, not me, I’m a nice guy? You say my god our culture’s pervasive misogyny is an atrocity. How do I lend myself as a man to lessening this, because I do bear this burden as a man in community with other men in our culture. That’s how my partner does.

if 350,000,000 (or 8,500,000,000) people decided they want to feed, house, clothe and heal each other nothing could stop us at all. we don't need permission or money (which, itself, is imaginary and just a placeholder for violence).

it trips me out that ~350,000,000 (in this country) sit around and let about 12 ppl tell them what they can and can't do or have. billionaires and politicians can't physically stop 350M ppl from doing what they want to do. only those 350,000,000 can stop themselves.

that's a patriarchy thing, not a social media thing.

literally all of this shit is made up. ALL of it. make your own shit up. set yourself free!

Zeus, Moses, and Ostera over bagels:

Reminds me of the folks who love Star wars and root for Luke and then vote for the empire Like what. What are we doing here

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that everybody's horny considering all we do #onhere is "skeet" (ew) at each other 😂

let's be honest, they've never been more than co-empires, frenemies of state at best

Dammit. Now where the hell did I park my. . . Ah. Found it.

i can all but guarantee you there are other women out there who have been sick to their stomachs for 24 straight hours praying that this will be enough. hoping like hell they won't have to rustle up their own traumas for an angry, hateful audience

the majority of folks sit out every major movement until it hits home (not even close to, but at) unfortunately. most everybody's grandp's didn't march with King. the majority stayed home and maybe watched on TV.

the human brain evolved to notice and hold onto negative experiences more than positive ones. there's a whole study that shows that (platonic and romantic) relationships end once more than 2 out of every 7 interactions is negative. it's how we're hard-wired.

this is less surprising if you know that dogs in general do much better with hand signals (and body language) than they are with verbal commands. hand signals are much easier to train than verbal commands. you often need to train signals first and attach verbal commands to them later

it won't be until after we're tracked in Palantir and Oracle databases and controlled via AI surveillance online ("age checks" via internet IDs) and irl (Ring, Flock, Meta and Snap 🕶️) and arrested and disappeared by the ICEstapo for social "violations" before enough ppl start to worry or care.

The thing that scares me most is the fact that all these warnings will go unheeded until it's too late.

even if they hadn't, US gov is going to ban foreign models (especially Chinese) once the US LLM giants start losing market share due to inference costs. plus they need your AI interactions to train the US AI surveillance apparatus.

The way I just sold all 5 of my Google Home speakers. I disabled Google Assistant on my phone years ago. Siri never even gets turned on when I setup my MacBook. I would buy wyze cams, get paranoid and take em back down. the only thing "smart" i have is hue bulbs. i work in software engineering 😂

Every day this post becomes ever more correct

As post after post circulated, I couldn’t help but wonder, was I the only person who didn’t get to spend just shy of 20 minutes talking into Mitch McConnell’s ear by phone today?

There’s a scene in the dystopian sci-fi movie Minority Report where Tom Cruise’s character is riding in an autonomous vehicle that gets remotely commandeered by the police to bring him into custody. The audience is supposed to see this as flagrant disregard for privacy and due process.

But yes it’s humpday, negativity and cakes don’t go together 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿

this was actually my first thought

Facebook’s own researchers found that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools”, an internal report in 2016 found. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

lol, he's trying to smudge the skeetline of yesterday's negativity.

this movie was so fun! it was also my frequent escape/dissociation watch in hs 🥹

all money is built on the blood of others. there is no wealth that didn't start out as exploitation of and extraction from others.

I be spitting bangers but y'all don't hear me, tho. 😌

I'm absolutely asking my next partner this specifically. I gotta buy an adult "class ring", too, so she can wear it on a necklace. You already stole my fave hoody, tho 🥺 so I'm not giving you my letterman as well 😤

SZA announcing she has autism is like your gay cousin coming out. Baby, we already knew, and we love you anyway 😂

everything I'm saying here is backed up by developmental psychology... they just don't teach us this stuff because understanding this would breed more empathy that would destroy patriarchal thinking and capitalism can't have that.

pay attention to a child under 7 and you'll notice that their early self talk is just repeating what they're told by parents and family. and it's this outer self-talk that slowly turns inward and becomes their "inner voice" we don't get to choose that or the beliefs they impart for ourselves.

I say to people all the time: Up until now, you've had no choice but to be who you've been... but now you are in complete control of who you are in the future. because we can absolutely reprogram ourselves. ...as long as the foundations of who we are gave us the capacity to do so.

but not everyone is lucky enough to gain this kind of awareness - let alone to have the understanding and capacity to do something about it.

over ~6 months one year, I went from preferring white and light-skinned to barely even noticing white women anymore unless they were bad bad. but newly developed a taste for all Black girls, even the more "mid" (gross, but can't think of a better way to express this :/)

shout out to the early days of social media when there were Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram accounts that only posted hot women. they were creepy, but flooding my feeds with darkskin-focused pages changed my default attraction all the way to the darker end of the spectrum.

Plato said "give me the boy till 7 and I'll show you the man" because he understood that the foundations of who we are are laid well before we even start to develop memories of it happening No one has any say in who they start out as and few are lucky enough to be able to do anything about it later

case in point, entirely too many of you are way too judgemental of who others turned out to be with no compassion for how we all come to be who we are. if you're doing well and right, you're lucky cuz you didn't choose that worldview or understanding for yourself.

whether you're a socalled "good one" or bad, none of us have much control over our foundations and few have the kind of foundations that allow such awareness of our own short-comings or capacity to change them.
