Talk about a flash sale

Holy shit

This is hot because it’s shit lol. Authenticity is what made politicians of yore like former Black representatives useful and powerful. It’s okay to say he just has more charismatic energy than most - that’s a side effect of being a New Yorker (lol)

The segregationist project has no such burden because their strategy has ALWAYS been to sacrifice some people in service of their project. We cannot do that in multiracial multicultural world building. It will hobble us at the worst possible moments.

I want 1,000 characters because folks willingly do not read the chain of posts in wants of making a point. We could make something that hints at more but how much handholding do people need?

It shouldn’t be!

Ten years ago tonight, police fatally shot Philando Castile in front of his girlfriend and her daughter during a traffic stop near the MN State Fairgrounds. Protests occurred immediately, Summit Ave. vandalized, I-94 was taken over & people occupied space in front the Gov Residence for ~23 days.

Oh this is interesting (and happening in parts of Florida - namely north of me; and this is happening by them - the wealthier Black folks - bringing+enabling their white peers to come as well)

Happy Saturday! For all Blacksky community members People’s Assembly is a great place to submit feature requests. Not everything will be available but we will try! Thanks to those who have been submitting! I’m always checking! — it’s always open: assembly.blacksky.community/8bbfunvvau

Hey y’all, we’re asking for features you 🫵🏽 would want to see on Blacksky! Please take a look, vote on requests made by Blacksky’s community and put in your own requests.

The more I read and listen to elders, the more I realize folks of my generation saying that they’re “sitting this one out” or that “it isn’t my fight” is a sign of laziness and absconding of responsibility that contributes to the state of affairs by way of passivity.

I see the hype of cilantro on tacos

This a Hood classic

I need you to make a reply to this post

it's giving "I'm a Republican who lies about my politics on dating apps to get dates" energy

Hey Bay Area folks, just a reminder that I curate the @coyotemedia.org calendar and am always looking for interesting stuff. What are you all up to this week? Do you know of cool things going on? Send them my way! [email protected] <3

The Fun Shortage Is Real, and It’s Making America Miserable. “With fewer places to relax and socialize, and steeper prices for entry, having fun is quantifiably harder than it used to be.” [bloomberg.com]

Please stop letting your Black kid be the only one in a white friend group

This is kind of wild, lol. Lying about your app to increase downloads is like lying about a turkey being a burger when it's made out of beans.

ONE JOB

Anyway...Black women are not avatars for other people to cast their hopes upon. We are living, breathing, feeling beings who weep, mourn, get scared, get traumatised, laugh, love, dance, and eat. We experience the fullness of life and deserve to be just human too.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Why that flat backed country girl didn’t get married in the country?

I am still struggling to listen to "mainstream" podcasts, lol. I know folks mention them as background noise but it feels more like noise

Rest In Peace to Philando Divall Castile who was taken from us by police on this day in 2016. (7/16/1983 - 7/6/2016).

Meta is now pushing those creep glasses on women… LOL IDC if a woman is wearing those fed glasses you are still a PERV for wearing them IDC

This is gonna spark a blog post from me but I still blame a lot of what we see today on the wanted ignorance of the impact of technology on Black folks in the 2000s onwards (not affordability or literacy but accessibility in public spaces)

Couple all that with the erosion of rights and companies being increasingly anti-consumer. Forcing features unwanted, removing features wanted, taking away physical media, making all a subscription, taking away our control of our devices and what software we can run on them, and eroding privacy.

More reason why the public need to be able to weigh in on it in a class agnostic way

All the good food in England comes from somewhere else 😂

I'm going to find a way to integrate with all of the apps.

I need to write. I might publish something today

Lestat’s ballad for Claudia 🥲😩 #TheVampireLestat

Everybody hates Cancers until you need a sister to beat ya man's ass in an elevator.

I'd do something nasty for a Publix sub.

Silo is starting off giving up too much in my opinion. Like the Rebels being described as this power smells like a lie

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

The African British guy in Silo looks good with the full goatee. I want to get back to that SO BAD but my skin is too sensitive to cuts

How many DVDs do you own? Or Blu-ray’s? I think I have like 10

I have to keep reminding myself that Rashida Jones is Black lol

Osaka takes down No. 1 Sabalenko, 6-2, 7-6! Dope shit.

Tbh I think invite systems are way superior to open systems. It becomes easier to see what kind of folks lead to what kind of community shifting and it can prevent the kelllyyyyy8834822 accounts from coming in lol

Their hairlines be more jagged than the Appalachian mountains Dirt under their nails All around ugly type!

I really gotta take pills so I can swallow 😩

Okay latest episode of Star City confirms my theory about Russians doing more secret missions into space and getting potentially further out

Me this three day weekend
