We don't talk enough about how scary it can be to get everything you want

mugged up

I’m scared to grow into what I’ve always wanted to be and I don’t know why.

That pipeline of being the child no one had to worry about to being the person family rarely hears from❗️

This is a random thought but it’ll always weird me out that folks will really wanna get close to you based on who they perceive you’re connected to.

The Black Church acts like being gay and trans is the ultimate sin. Meanwhile, ped*phi**a and s*xaul abuse is running rampant and when you call them out, they defend the perpetrators, and say that, “God forgave them.” Please go to hell in gasoline draws ⛽️🩲

You need to up it and understand that the only person in charge of enforcing and respecting your boundaries, is you. Block the bitch and restrict any means of communication to you. That’s what you CAN control and also sends the message that you need received by the individual

I try not to be *THAT* alarmist about things but boys and girls this is as the kids say "totally whack"

Cause when you celebrate one milestone in healing/any journey, there’s always something else right around the corner to unpack/process 😭 Or even the random moments where I have to do my best not to beat myself up when reflecting on moments and feeling embarrassed sksksksks

It literally feels like you’re at war with yourself, constantly. Whether it’s healing, mental health, grief, etc. There’s a part of your brain that knows good things and tries to stay there, but some days there’s another part, that you usually can’t control, that is so loud with darkness.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

this. this. this. that shit ain’t noble my guy, it’s damaging.

I want people to understand this is deeper than it seems. People will casually sell you a dream because you believing in them feels good. They like to see you excited. Some will use your energy as motivation…but when there’s no follow through they don’t want to deal with your disappointment.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

Social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools — now being turned on Americans by ICE to target protesters. bit.ly/3Kq348R

“It is not my job, ever, to hurt anyone or bash anyone because of who they are. God is not surprised by anyone he created. He knew who you would be even before your mom and dad even got together. So why am I disrespecting what God respects and loves?”

Idk who needs to hear this, but measuring the success of a day by how productive you are, is rooted in capitalism. Ok bye 💗

Beautiful…

Listen.....watching and listening to Jill Scott for over an hour straight....one of the best ways to start the day. youtu.be/sGFX1VL6NoQ?...

I’m in a constant state of exhaustion. I don’t be wanting to socialize

1 year after the wildfires in LA, fewer than a dozen homes have been rebuilt. Insurance gaps, costs, & inequities are leaving families behind, especially Black homeowners. Nearly 1 in 3 insured survivors had policies with State Farm or FAIR Plan, and many reported delays, lowball offers & red tape.

I got called quirky last night

pleasure isn’t just motion or touch. it's curiosity. the way someone tilts their head in thought, laughs in the dark, or claims a space beside you, the erotic lives there too.

Healing is glamorized as this transforming and restorative thing but the process can be so emotionally taxing.

Think like you're blessed, talk like you're blessed, and act like you're blessed. That's how your blessings get activated.

Boar's Head is done. Finished. They have obviously cut out all their food safety standards and even if some of the food they're making isn't contaminated, none of it is safe.

I have verified that Keith Porter Jr’s father created this GoFundMe and is asking to support his grandchildren

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

The George Floyd Justice In Policing Act Of 2021 Watching it’s self get gentrified:

A Black Family is being evicted, they’ve been given notice to vacate as the property owner is selling. They’re trying to raise enough to cover the deposit & moving costs so they aren’t out on the street. Let’s each give $1 to reach their goal. We’ve helped 220 people so far, let’s keep going.

I think yall owe black people some apologies lol After dealing with racism for years, we tried to tell yall this would happen when you slowly give them power. WELCOME IN! donuts, coffee and tissues in the back.

Music is magic and I am always happily under its spell.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I just sent $10.00 if I can get 10 of my followers to match me we can help this family bury this beautiful brotha in dignity. Im sorry Keith, #BlackMenDeserveToGrowOld gofund.me/be897ad44
