Dear insecure cis-het men: I’ve no desire to bed you. Spare me the sudden parade of progeny whenever you glimpse another smart, attractive Black man. Your reassurance is less virtue than vanity, and it shows.

This is so fucking dumb. Just say you want to send ICE to the show as a treat for committing to an assigned racial profiling campaign, asshats.

In my brain I’m always asking the Dems…

Parker seems to be here only for the bag, brushing off the people she’s supposed to serve on her way out. Can someone explain how a “housing program” is supposed to lift those at the very bottom of the poverty scale while also being open to folks making $119k a year? #philly #philadelphia

Breaking news: Water is still undeniably wet.

McNutt’s reaction reflects the feelings of many Black women who are exhausted by cis-het white men constantly mansplaining how the league fails to live up to their egomaniacal expectations.

Let us pray.

I’ll pretend to believe the lie, while knowing it’s a lie, just to see where it leads, because as Shakespeare wrote, ‘the truth will out’.

I really can’t stand being lied to. Especially when the liar doubles down on the lie to make the circumstance solely coincidental. Like girl, I’m not as dim as this feature full-length you’re selling.

Amen.

Technology must serve principles, not politics, it should not be bent to partisan wills.

What people think about me is none of my business. I’m a mere figment of their imagination living rent free in their heads, completely furnished, and that wasn’t my choice.

Sweet Life. (Super Rich Kids a close second)

Fo’real. I told my yt friends this and I have NOT heard from them since our Labor Day hang. I also told them I’m reading “Sky Full of Elephants” by Cebo Campbell.

Good. No one wants to hear from evil incarnate.

Soccer mom donuts.

Hear me out: I see Marie in Gen V as the central figure, the comic book embodiment of everything the V serum represents. She’s like the Henrietta Lacks of this twisted enterprise: someone whose very essence is being exploited so others can profit from her full potential.

Riding Septa, is being reminded that yt kids are now in their post Kirk era. If the pointless door crowding happens again I’m throwing sharp elbows to greasy foreheads. I know your mother taught you better. (Or maybe she didn’t)

Announcing my new think tank

Cannot contain my excitement even though her ability still freaks me out a bit but I get where they were going.

I’m usually very quiet in the office, but the resentment in the air today was astounding. Maybe my calmness caused the disturbance? It’s a common occurrence when workers are demotivated and underpaid, someone always ends up becoming the psychological punching bag.

Thank Jeebus I give good “no-cake-face” during office hours.

Why would anyone choose to work on their birthday? I’ve never understood that. The only time I ever did it was back when I was bartending, because the bigger tips made it worth it.

@governor.pa.gov This could be us, but @pasenate.com is stuck squabbling. SEPTA faces a $213M deficit, cut 20% of bus and metro service, (now set for reinstatement), and raised fares by 21.5%. Imagine how much revenue legal cannabis could generate for transit.

NFC East, Week 2 in the books 📚🦅 #FlyEaglesFly

Chris Jones yelling "You don't even have 100yrds" Jalen saying "We won the fucking game, shut you ass up" 😭 i love the sports #GoBirds

Audre Lorde said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Don’t forget, in between errands, to do what you love this weekend.

TRUMP: let’s put Kirk’s body in the Capital rotunda. Kirk’s body before it’s lost to the Potomac:

Yes. Blueberry Flavored Covered Pretzels are my breakfast, balanced with mushroom coffee. Everything in moderation and adaptogens.

I mean I understand that during Reconstruction/Jim Crow, myths of Black male violence justified lynching. But alongside that, popular culture also began marketing images of the “gentle giant” or the loyal servant (e.g., Uncle Remus, Uncle Tom). 1/3

Who told all these little white kids to stand next to me to feel safer on a subway train? I get on and I’m mobbed by at least 7 seemingly malnourished South Philly Italian 12 year old with backpacks bigger than their entire bodies crowding around me. Your Moms were wrong. We’re not a monolith.

This Kirk situation got me thinking a lot about what Joy James said about the “captive maternal”. When Black women are called upon to contain, or manage the fallout of state violence. They’re expected to absorb trauma, mediate conflict, and maintain order, at the expense of their own well-being.

To latent gays in my office: This could be us but you’d rather maintain the status quo. Do you want me to drop to a thong and duck walk backwards into a supply closet or…?

In The Wretched of the Earth (1961), Frantz Fanon argued that colonial violence creates a world in which the oppressed reclaim humanity only through revolutionary violence. For him, such violence was not “aggression” but a form of decolonizing therapy.

Mood.

I could literally feel the mourn on subway this morn’. Those who also knew, saw the video awaited my visible confirmation as we waited for the next train. So I let my eyebrows speak when I met the white gaze: “Yes, I know he’s dead. Nah, I don’t care.”

Sports teams act as a modern proxy for tribal identity; colors, mascots, and chants substitute for war paint, flags, and rituals. Cheering your team scratches the deep psychological itch of “belonging to the group.” I often wonder if mine itch is more acute. #gobirds #fuckdallas

Humans evolved in small groups where loyalty to the tribe meant survival. Supporting your group, defending its symbols, and showing unity were crucial behaviors.

Some people talk to themselves when feeling lonely, using it as a form of social substitute. It provides a sense of interaction and helps combat isolation.

Ellison showed in ‘Invisible Man’ how loneliness, while born of exclusion, can be conducive to self definition and radical claritywhat it means to exist beyond imposed labels.

While Aristotle emphasized humans as “political animals” who thrive in community, he also acknowledged that philosophers often withdraw into solitude to cultivate reason. For him, moments of aloneness could be conducive to contemplation and intellectual flourishing.

Loneliness is not the absence of people, but the absence of being seen.

YT WOMEN WHO LIVE IN PHILLY ARE FUCKING VILE. Just had a fat ass yt girl on a bike nearly run me down. Just yesterday I had one follow me home then stop to make sure that I wasn’t breaking into my own home. I don’t know what ya’ll going through, but you don’t want me to go full 🥷🏾

I’m going to repost this one more time to respectfully suggest watching Horror Noire, an incredible documentary about black horror, before separating the blackness from the horror of sinners

The Roman Empire never fell. . .

There’s a significant risk that citizens end up paying for infrastructure and services that data centers underfund through tax exemptions. Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft are full of sh!t.

So um… @bsky.app baby.. what is you doin’ she’s evil incarnate. Let me remind of what said about trans individuals: She argued against throwing "open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he's a woman." 1/2
