Using “helicopter parenting” when a parent wouldn’t send their 13 year old to a movie alone is so silly. That’s not what that term was meant to convey. We cannot always use personal anecdotes as children w overprotective parents to compare what a child being raised today would need to be safe alone.

It can also shows up as irritability/short temper, forgetfulness, zoning out/lack of concentration, indulgent behavior (over eating, doom scrolling, "retail therapy")

Book lovers, PLEASE get away from the Amazon body of products. There are awesome alternatives to Goodreads, Kindle, & Audible. I implore you to look into Kobo, LibroFM, StoryGraph, Fable, @bookshop.org, Thriftbooks, & @libbyapp.com. This planned obsolescence is ridiculous.

IG snehayoga.bliss “5 Asanas Must do daily for healthy hip mobility, pelvic floor & Reproductive organs If you do consistently for 2-3 months, will definitely see the changes in your life & body. Repetition 10-15 times & hold every last breath for 30 seconds in each asana. Have a safe practice”

Helicopter parenting is a direct response to how much shit we had to face alone as kids because nobody was watching us. We don't even share everything we went through. Not with social media, our friends or our parents

MIND you, we'll be coming back from this appointment, AGGRAVATED, and some man will imply that what would make you feel better is something ELSE being SHOVED up there, why, I oughtaaaaa —

You have to request anesthesia it isn’t automatic or oftentimes offered because “the procedure isn’t that long” But it all circles back it this was Men’s health they would have figured out a less invasive way or pain relief would be automatic

“women’s health” is absolutely the most invasive/barbaric and I don’t think they are doing enough to make it less so. I had to get an endometrial biopsy and I’d heard horror stories. Luckily I had zero pain. They also DO NOT numb you unless you ask specifically and most folks don’t know to do so

Alright. It‘s 9:30. Gonna go hydrate & recalibrate for a little while before recommencing day job tasks. Y’all have a good morning. Stretch & remember to buy a few extra non-perishables when you make groceries this week. ✌🏾

White men & White women are the problem and they create White children who keep the problem going. If these same said people would drop the identity and reckon with then destroy the sociogeny of race. We as a species would be better. As long as white people rather be white than human, we suffer.

He be saying a bunch of nothing on his songs, and he has for years. Just aura farming from other people’s classic beats and then mumbling something about his white queens and Hitler

If you've heard music by Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Prince, & MJ, calling Donda's goof'ass boy a "genius" is just flat out dumb. And this next part is the most important: Nothing you say to or about me will change my mind about him, but it will definitely make me think/reinforce that you're dumb.

Folks were always so shocked my son could carry a full conversation (albeit, not a necessarily logical one 😭) at a year old. But I had been speaking to him since the day he was born. Like a little person. Cuz babies are little people!!

people who don’t respond to baby babbling are bad people. i don’t make the rules. and answer that toy phone too before you piss me off!!

I don’t think folks understand how content I would be just tending plants and making tinctures, preserves, & remedies all day. This work shit is really depressing sometimes. (I’m thankful to have a job. But still…)

Do you think o he climbed up there, tired, thinking “am I a joke to you people?”

I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.

I saw a tiktok of a woman hacker who deletes people’s debts every day. We need more heroes like that

Not me posting like it was 2 years ago. Let me do this over. Talk to your neighbors: where‘s the (food) medicine coming from; who knows how to heal; where’s the greens and fruits coming from; who’s raising chickens for meat, who for eggs; are you in a right-to-farm county; who can preserve foods

The seed children are thriving…did all that talking about not doing tomatoes and there are literally seven of them

At the beginning of the quarter we had the students watch Pocahontas the disney movie and then read the chief's letter to John Smith petitioning for him and the other colonists to stop murdering them. The blood in American soil goes back to 1607.

A sitting US president that is a known racist and sexual abuser of children is openly threatening to wipe out an entire country and I'm watching white people get sanctimonious about making sure post aren't too 'racy.' We do not talk enough about how white people are enslaved to hate and compliance.

I went out and did some community support stuff this afternoon that will hopefully make my neighbors safer from the fascist fuckery and it was a lot better than doomscrolling and I really recommend it

I went on @therealnews.com to discuss Black anarchist history and US politics, among other things. It was great to have this exchange with former Black Panther elder Mansa Musa on ‘Rattling the Bars.’

It's worth noting, we ain't the first nor last batch of people to have had to deal with shit like this. You can learn so much from the past. I don't ever want to discourage folks from "getting in the field" but I do want folks to know what direct action is especially when able to mobilize those #s

If they do anything short of refusing to follow illegal orders to commit war crimes, they're not brave or conflicted.

and I already have over 100 cases, over 200 clients, and thousands of dollars of unpaid bills in collections I can't afford to pay because I have so many pro bono cases is WILD. I usually don't let what people say online get to me, but ngl, this did.

Being told by ostensible liberals that I'm just a clout chaser who supports Trump because I opposed Biden's Gaza genocide and want elected Democrats to fucking DO SOMETHING, when I'm posting yet another "free representation for arrested protesters" post,

Took my multivitamin for the first time in an embarrassingly long time this morning. Next, back into my calisthenics & skincare & altar work routines. I am not going to let that repugnant motherfucker outlive me if I can help it.

The sunset from my backyard was beautiful last night!

Somebody. Anybody.

Another gay awakening film

White people want the utopian harmony without the accountability. Salvation without conviction.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If that shitty booty orange-skinned abomination blows up the world before I can watch The Vampire Lestat in its entirety, I am going to be soooooo mad.

This is why they pushed Christianity on us so hard

Here it comes!!!

To put it in even further perspective — Lockheed Martin produced both the spacecraft for the Artemis mission and the PRsM missile that shot tungsten pellets into an elementary school in Lamerd.

people need to stop thinking in terms of Democrats vs Republicans and start thinking in terms of the working class vs the ruling class. once you make that shift everything will start to make sense.

You can look at digitized manuscripts that were collected in the universities and libraries of Timbuktu that she's talking about, on Google. There are books of Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates, Avicenna, mathematics, medicine, astrology, astronomy, the Quran artsandculture.google.com/experiment/t...

Over-the-counter medication abortion? These researchers say it would be safe. LFG!! www.npr.org/2026/04/06/n...

I did a talk on engineering careers for middle school students last month and one of them said to the principal "I didn't know engineers had gold grills" and that's exactly why I wore them. I always seek to challenge notions what engineers look like especially to young black kids.

hold on, the video is making me love the song even more 😍

Controversial maybe, but I actually don't think you can 'reform' anything, I think you have to end the bad thing and start anew.
