Now, if Corpse Bride had happened to me...? 😭

On September 20, 1958 while autographing books in NY, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was stabbed in the chest by a mentally-ill woman who was apprehended + sent to a psychiatric hospital. The blade of the knife rested on Dr. King's aorta - if he would have coughed, he would have died.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

waking up to find a good chunk of our art is on its way to potentially be labeled as terrorist symbology is pretty wild

Every year! Got mine last month!

These white men still yelling at Imani? JFC, they need to leave that lady alone.

People are getting black-bagged for GOING TO WORK, GOING TO CHURCH, GOING TO SCHOOL, SHOPPING AT THE GROCERY STORE, AND BEING AT THE HOUSE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! No one's saying that people shouldn't go to a protest, but willingly putting your info out there so they CAN find out you did is insane.

There is so much privilege in this statement, and this is why people that aren't white men find it hard to be in community with y'all. Y'all are out of your minds.

I replied to this already, but I just wanted to put together a list of my 10 most favorite Sci-Fi movies (in no particular order) featuring or starring Black women... and one I plan to watch very soon. #FilmSky #BlackFilmSky

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

Gonna try variety twitch streaming, and see how I feel about it. You may see a few videos here, so I apologize in advance for my goofiness.

If you make violence the question then violence will be the answer.

I still read, just mostly audiobooks. 😒

An absolute banger.

yeah.

Please, for the class, tell us what "transgender ideology" is.

Waterfalls by a mile.

I refuse! (telefone (Noname's best project, imo) clears Alligator Bites Never Heal, but Doechii has a wider range than Noname).

Early Earl >>>>>>>>>> But present day Ab-Soul > present day Earl.

A little a needle (Anita)

They do different things! It's even for me!

Big Boooiiiiiii

I don't know why y'all keep setting Chance up but it's almost always the same answer: Saba is the better rapper - Chance is the better artist. I think Saba's best project (Care For Me) is better than Chance's best project (Acid Rap). So, Saba. Same with Mick, Smino, Noname... only argument is Vic.

I think this fascination with and focus on policing other people's reactions to someone that hated them being murdered is very interesting. You can't control other people's feelings, but what you CAN do is communicate your own.

We should have been doing it already, but I think its beyond time that we start coming together as communities and having conversations about how we can make change separate of government. What can we do locally? How can we wield our civic and collective power?

In other "if it weren't so fucking offensive, it'd be funny" news today - the fact that SCOTUS essentially said in their latest decision that affirmed racial profiling of Latinos (that will definitely spread into other groups), "yeah, if they look broke, too, you can deport them" is inSANE.

We've gotten a few notable entries of this over the past 10 years, but I will always agree that we deserve way more. I will also add that there are so many books that also do this work.

Been gathering my resistance/apocalypse skills together: started learning how to lockpick, and starting to learn sign language.

It still makes me mad that Bahni Turpin didn't get to finish out the Children of Blood and Bone series, and that Anguish and Anarchy went to Cynthia Erivo, lol. Like, noooooo, give me back my Zelie!

I love this country enough to know that it can be better than what it is right now... enough to know that it can and will work for everyone one day... you can't litter this soil with the blood, hopes, and dreams of my ancestors and not expect me to fight for it like it's mine.

In no particular order: Everything Everywhere All At Once An Oversimplification of Her Beauty Coco Spider-Verse 1 & 2 Pan's Labyrinth Train to Busan

Good to hear that we're getting a movie. I don't want Laurence Fishburn as Charlie. He can be Sailor, if he wants. But please, Charlie needs to be darker skinned than that.

Sad as hell. 8.6/10

I had to trick the man into saying it. I had never heard him say it, and I remember saying it to him over the phone, and he sounded surprised. Now, he offers it first. With my sons, I make sure to tell them regularly. I don't want them to ever guess whether I love(d) them.

Osaka is headed to the finals, there's literally no other option. If she gets Pegula over Sabalenka, I think she's taking it. If she gets Sabalenka, there's a fight ahead.

I knew Swiatek wasn't taking the #USOpen. This tournament is her white whale.

Give me a religious horror movie about the terror of biblically accurate angels, and make the trailer song a horror version of "Heaven Can Wait" by Michael Jackson. "If the angels came for me, I'd tell them 'no...'"

Yes, but also, that station wagon is about to move EVERYBODY her kid knows.

"PRO-LIFE" UNTIL YOU'RE OUT OF THE WOMB, AND THEN YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN, BUDDY.

i think the co-opting, gentrification, and rebranding of "chopped and screwed" to "slowed" is probably one of the most tragic online happenings that has happened in the last 10 years.

Diverse Representation shared this collage of Black women playing the US Open. This doesn’t include Jasmine Paolini of Italy who is of Ghanaian descent. Mboko, Keys, Ngounoue, and Townsend play in the day session. Venus is the headliner at Arthur Ashe tonight at 7 pm. Coco and Naomi tomorrow night.

Childhood is so vast. But at different points, DBZ, Billy & Mandy, ATLA...

couldn't tell you, but among the first I remember are the early PBSKids shows (DragonTales, Arthur) and NickJr Shows (Blue's Clues...)

8a. Yes. 8b. Adventure Time / Grave of the Fireflies / Futurama - a few others, but those are the ones that I can remember right now.

Coco Gauff’s U.S. Open ended just as she had warned it might. She double-faulted five times against Naomi Osaka — not great, but vastly better than where she was.

Osaka is back in form, and I just wish it was against anyone else other than Coco, lmao.
