I think people should not be allowed to be mean to me. I run a business.

Reposting in the hopes that it brightens your day 😊

Crochet girlies who make dresses: are y’all working in panels or working in the round?

America has single-handedly RUINED new years for me. Like, what are we celebrating??? Another season of American Horror Story?

Ok, so showing Native folks getting wiped out in Assassin’s Creed III is ok, but the idea of someone Black defending themselves from slavers and violent racists is “controversial.” If you wonder why bigots feel so empowered, this is a great example. White folks don’t fight for a damn thing.

My quote of the day If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started. John McCain

This post is about Black Excellence ™️

I don't mind folks trying to make a better life for themselves. It's when they do so and then start making decisions that effect those who don't have the same autonomy without considering how those decisions effect them, and don't care.

The most important political thread of our time.

Our government has devolved into an entry-level training program for white male stooges.

I want to encourage you all to use a literal pinch of cayenne pepper in your morning eggs.

If you don't like me that is fine, I do not care or care to change your mind. Why would I even want to change your mind??

Yeah, society is misogynistic af but also the way girls and women are socialized in order to be a successful joiner-inner is embedded with anxiety. I don't want to be anxious and hypervigilant I want to be authentic.

Zoom was great when you could use it in-browser and still access your microphone.

Isis is just a palatable version of Hathor

This might be apocryphal, but I keep reading that they had to film them in silhouette because they kept cracking up when singing into each other’s faces. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Please understand, the last 1/4th of Project 2025’s implementation will be the most jarring to the most people. Get ready.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Hard to belive it's legal for them to be this yellow

Bluesky feed is like ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ cute kitty! ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ [adult content] ------------------ we're doomed ------------------

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall💚

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Giving a lot of grace to Younger Me today. I've had several nearly consecutive interactions in which my intentions are social and theirs has been entirely commercial. Capitalistic and transactional thinking is why too many people don't know what Friendship is

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

Today is National truth and reconciliation day. On this day and every day I honour and have high respect for the Indigenous🙏🏼 My heart aches for those lost children in the horrible acts of the residential schools. I am sorry for what these families went through.💔 My heart is with you❤️💛🤍🖤🪶

Austria and Italy Finish Digging World’s Longest Rail Tunnel–Ready to Reshape Travel Maps

It’s probably a good thing that comedy is going to have a reckoning about comedians pretending they’re dangerous or edgy when their definition of those words is that they whitewash repressive government regimes for money but also make gay jokes

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Damn 🔥 one of the only bright spots of this past year has been seeing lower-court judges be clear-eyed about what’s happening and unafraid to call it out.

The WNBA is a microcosm of how obscenely talented Black folks, in this case Black women specifically, have to navigate the incompetence of whiteness and its tokens to make a decent living at something they excel at.

It's wild that the same people who experienced the US government "giving" its citizens a whole $1200 to survive the pandemic shutdown expect that same government to save its citizens from the Four Horsemen.

Journalistic Unseriousness 🙄🙄🙄 It's unobscured proper gander, innit

I actually want people to express moral shock at horrible shocking things. I don’t think that’s naive, I think that’s a sign their heart still works

Putting body scanners everywhere "for public safety" is what the normalization of fascism looks like 🌻

They don’t want freedom for all, they want access to the American dream.

The Kimmel thing confirmed they know how to apply pressure and get results when it’s a rich white man that gives them joy. But crickets when over 300,000 BW have been purged from the workforce.

Evidenced by calls to register for protest. The constant pleas for KH to do something. Persistent guilt trips when we are experiencing happiness.

I see we’re at the provoke Black people into action part of the program. I think both sides severely underestimated Black people’s response to all this. “Burn it all down” was said with the assumption that Black people would fix it. Cause most of these folks don’t have the experience or strategy

idc, idc, I miss old twitter

There is no other home.

Why are folks always attacking artists' basic rights???

I missed all the news from the past few days but what I am gathering is that the allegations against Tylenol triggered The Rapture and we're all now living in The Left Behind Series

Things we do/say/use daily that some may not know originated from racism. I’ll start with the most obvious, yet commonly used without even blinking, “master” bedroom. Yes, you were invoking slavery by using it. See also the technical terms “master” and “slave.” Yes, your hard drive too.

Bluebonnets at Late Afternoon, near La Grange https://www.wikiart.org/en/robert-julian-onderdonk/bluebonnets-at-late-afternoon-near-la-grange-1918

I was somewhat off-grid yesterday and had to do some catching up early this morning. To summarize the key takeaways for anyone who may have missed them: 1. Vaccines did not cause Rachel's autism. 2. Tylenol did not cause Rachel's autism. Or anyone else's.

I been calling this the Era of the Grift for quite a while. If you know anything about history, you know that religion is a tool to control the masses. And if you know a little more about history, you know there's a direct relationship between religion and grifts.
