Time to get back on this app again 😁

Hi BlackSky! Quick Q as I live in Europe. Do I say Black American, African American or ADOS when referring to people with hundreds of years of ancestry in the US? I don’t know where the distinction lies, if it’s one that should be made and what’s best as i’ve heard all three. Thank ya 🙏🏽

Switched to a white barber because my mother outed me to the only black one in town. Evil begets evil.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

Island of strangers has my flabbers ghasted

Tech companies looking for free advertisement in the DSM-6

Always did this until I discovered paid overtime and beauty naps

“Appealing to fascists is only right when I do it”

In Chinese #folklore, the white ape (白猿) is a mystical creature linked to longevity and transformation. Legends say monkeys live 800 years before becoming apes, apes live 500 more to become gibbons, and gibbons after 1,000 years become human. One tale tells of a white ape who 1/2

I’m so ready to deactivate my instagram. Never known a more overwhelming app

Only place in the US i’d consider visiting is Atlanta I fear. Maybe for pride month, and once the country seems less hostile to outsiders.

Haven’t been able to stomach a proper meal for a while and can just feel myself weaken daily

🚨A new report has exposed how the UK government shared contact details of counter-terrorism police and prosecutors with the Israeli embassy during an investigation into protests at an Israeli arms factory. This raises clear concerns about foreign interference in UK policing.

Thank you, @lugambo.bsky.social! ♡

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

White settlers will always run away

I need to be held by a Peckham pimp

I would hit rock bottom without my barber

I wonder if and/or how medical and product recall insurance policies will shift as a result of this

Changed my mind. I'm now giving 100 of these away instead. I wonder if that might be possible, by next week, if this gets enough shares and hits the algorithm?

Forgot to eat today now I’m gagging my way through 4 cans of tuna (100g protein) and 2 protein yoghurts (40g). If I die in my sleep tonight it’s entirely my fault

Cute but with a very unsettling ‘first governor general of bengal brought back to this world as a dog’ look you know?

I am choosing to keep this essay permanently unpaywalled. It's about the general idea of people reaching their artistic peak later in life, and the amazing art my parents have been producing in their 60s and 70s (much of which has made its way into my books): tomcox.substack.com/p/the-magic-...

I now understand why communism took away that lady’s great grandfather’s monopoly of eggs in all of China. Big egg must be obliterated.

Angry cried today at the gym because these guys don’t know what a luteal phase feels like 💔

Been in a funk for two weeks and now PMDD strikes. Can’t win sometimes.

The Health Ministry has released a devastating 1,516-page record listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians killed since Oct 7, 2023. Among them, 474 pages contain the names of more than 15,600 children—with the first 27 pages listing only infants under one year old.

Average European at 13

Spring is being good to me.

If I was surrounded by white folks booing the Obama’s off stage in this political climate I’d assume I’m in enemy territory.

Having a great day

Gotta get this new Abdulrazak Gurnah book

According to DisabilityJustice.org, 83% of disabled women will be sexually abused in their lifetime. You must include disabled women in your conversations about choice and reproductive rights. I’m included in that percentage. Please think about us.

White Irishmen complaining about demographics is forever so funny to me because they date interracially as an extreme sport

Rapist meets rapist to rant about Irish immigration in country with highest Irish immigrant population.

Words of affirmation 😍🫦

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.

Yeah on girlsgogames

I’ve been barely conscious for three days 😭 being sick is a nightmare

Canterbury is so deceiving, that place is Gotham city.

Sending black kids from South London to Mena, Arkansas is nasty stuff omg

Please don’t talk to me about a conspiracy theory if you know nothing about the official narrative it’s disproving. My social battery is way too low to listen to info I’ll immediately discard.

Many things improve health outcomes, but let me tell you this: - Treating people as less because they can’t work doesn’t. - Giving disabled people less when disability costs more doesn’t. - And forcing people into poverty to ‘incentivise’ work? That definitely doesn’t.
