it's 2026 and running around with black panther pins, moto jackets and a beret is goofy behavior showing heat but not blowing heat is goofy behavior thank you for your attention on this matter

*gestures wildly in Tolkien*

Nah go enjoy yourself and be safe

Stop posting those Black AI grannies. Stop posting those Black AI grannies. Stop posting those Black AI grannies. Stop posting those Black AI grannies. Stop posting those Black AI grannies. Stop posting those Black AI grannies.

I would faithfully watch a show about Black people from different parts of the world coming to visit parts of the diaspora they are not from. Imagine how tight we would be if we learned from each other.

Cut them off. I want every other country to starve out the US in every way possible. Kick us out the UN if possible. The only way to beat us is non-combat and the US needs to lose at everything until our government starts acting right.

Bf asked how I feel about guns in the house since we're moving in together. Told him he gotta sign me up for all the applicable classes because I *have* to know how to use any gun in the house that I live in. Also how to disarm & dismantle them.

All black folks are allowed to take today off by law. Who made this law? Black folks. Who’s in charge of the black folks? Black folks. Mind ya business and go argue with ya, momma.

A sketch from last year

Chicago Bears. Seattle Mariners. Hockey, who's the team?

Good to know the NFL decided to earn their pay today. Hope They repeat through the superbowl.

I’m begging yall In comics In prose Everywhere Learn the names of more people of color Learn some BLACK PEOPLE in your industries, in your hobbies

reminder that color-blind casting in the audio scene will always lead to a white-leaning cast because the majority of people who audition are white. write diversity into your shows and cast intentionally, a character's race/gender DO impact who they are and you should know that before casting.

Leo reps the PoG and every otaku on my skyline currently talking bout the Bears reps the PoA

It’s not an incorrect assumption! It’s history and that’s fine ☺️

Makes sense because they want to dismantle all Black institutions. And before someone says it, the standard US christian church is a white institution. Argue wit my great granny.

Cold as shit outside. Time to swap jackets.

Following rules when the rules change at convenience makes sense to yall?

Its okay if you’re scared right now. Theres no shame in that. You’re not alone. Many of us are. Being brave in the face of adversity doesnt mean a denial of how you feel in the moment. Being brave in the moment is an acknowledgment that you ARE scared & you NEED to do something about it. ❤️

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.

wherever there is effective radical action from the people best believe a democrat consultant is showing up to turn it into party fundraising remember: they co-opted BLM and increased police budgets. don't give these shameless leeches a dime

I need it to have started yesterday.

Nearly 10 months before Rosa Parks’s famous act of defiance, a 15-year-old Black girl named Claudette Colvin had already refused to surrender her seat on a segregated bus on March 2, 1955. Colvin passed away this week at 86. https://capitalbnews.org/claudette-colvin-dies-86/

2nd week for the 4 week mini collection challenge. Did a blender pattern with the frogs and water lilies with three versions

I'm doing a four week mini collection challenge and here's my main pattern. Doing a frog theme and based this one off a pond, think it turned out super cute! #art #patterndesign

Bf getting TTs about DFW PDs taking ice money. So he's very worried about them coming to DFW. If not just fear mongering, and they do come here, it will get nasty if for no other reason than the consensus of federal overreach. Texas has always been both unique and froggy.

Never seen the phrase "talking out the side of your neck" be a literal phenomena.

You know what I fuck with? Comfortable silence. I'm doing my thing. You doing yours. Then we pick up naturally at some point.

I am screaming 😂😂😂😂😂 now don’t get me wrong I will tear them both up

I want to make it clear this is an hourly rate, not a flat amount.

If you use Notion, Obsidian, etc. you can create a database for your image alt text. This allows for a quick copy pasta base of your promotional graphics like stream schedules and video thumbnails. I do it for my art because I be damned trying to remember all that shit for cross-posting.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before) Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DTQrTqZ...

Reminder: slavery hasn’t been abolished in the United States. The 13th amendment says slavery is legal as a punishment for a crime. Black Americans have been living under mass incarceration for decades, what we are seeing is an acceleration of this system.

This is a waffles/pancakes discussion because FRIED, DICED POTATOES? With the pico de gallo style veggies blended in?! Cubed potates all day, ery day

Bf having trouble sleeping because he's worried about my safety because my existence is Black (he yte). Can't really do shit but pat his bald head and tell him to try and remain calm. Dealing with this level of stress is a life skill and I honestly have no pointers.

Just heard a country cover of Mario's Let Me Love You and if that wasn't a hate crime, the sky ain't blue.

Whenever someone puts him on my feed I like to remind the internet that the exceptionally talented James Earl Jones unironically said his Black grandmother “was the most racist person, bigoted person I have ever known.” Darth Vader believing in reverse racism tracks, doesn't it?

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

I have discovered my hair is a weed. Is clover. Is bamboo. Is ivy. Is whatever grows fast when cared for and still too quick when neglected.

Me (center) and the besties after 5-ish years of not seeing each other.

If you think your good actions and your work ethic goes unnoticed? It probably does...BUT there is someone out there who appreciates it and acknowledges it.

So Verizon goes down in some of the most populated areas where anti-ICE protests are happening and we not gon’ connect the dots?

The bf wanted to include a DMPC in his backstory but didn't tell me (the DM) because he wanted it to be a cute surprise. 😭 I felt so bad telling him no. Please tell your DM story beats before session. 😭😭😭 p.s. The characters are the same age and he just assumed my character's age because high lvl.

If ever there is a lesson to learn about artists you find out being absolute monsters to other people, and your first reaction is to feel conflicted because you 'liked their work', I deeply suggest avoiding putting ANYONE atop a pedastal. Yes, that means your favourite artist.
