For reasons that can only be described as “lacking sense”, I have 1 ticket for Beyoncé: Cowboy Carter, London Thursday 12 June £172 - South Standing GA (cheaper than face value) Buy via Ticketmaster Verified Resale secure.ticketmaster.co.uk/rs/3500623FE... Feel free to share

My sister and I have decided to watch this season’s Love is Blind without seeing who the contestants are. I have dimmed my laptop all the way down so my screen is black. My sister put a blanket over her TV. We are one and half episodes in and we are sharing our notes.

We need to regulate the sale of microphones. Maybe a theory and practical test before you can purchase, own or use a microphone. Because right now Black people in the UK are catching strays because one person decided to share their asinine views on Kendrick’s performance.

After yesterday’s episode of #TheTraitorsUK it is clear that some of the contestants wanted to punish Kas for being an intelligent and kind non-white doctor. There was an air of wanting the “bring him down a peg or two” And Kas 100% clocked that BS.

And I am being deliberately vague when I say “someone” because the racial and gender identity of the person who started the discussion is now a central theme. Folks are debating whether biracial people with white mothers and Black fathers can claim Blackness.

Someone got on TikTok and labelled #BeyonceBowl American propaganda. TWO WEEKS later and the discourse is still ongoing. It has taken both predictable and unexpected turns. Online friendships have been severed. Have folks forgotten bell hooks called Bey a terrorist and the world didn’t end?

Caught up with #TheTraitorsUK. I can’t overstate how uncomfortable it was to watch Kasim being accused of being a traitor because he is a doctor. And Kasim 100% clocked what they really meant.

Felt this in my chest! 😮‍💨 A lot of our parents were traumatised instead of encouraged into productivity if we’re being honest.

This is such an immigrant household thing too. What a terrible message and legacy. We all deserve rest.

Mucene is the Kikuyu word for oral history or technically gossip.

Unlearning the belief, rooted in growing up in a Black (and in my case, African) household, that the opposite of work is laziness. It’s not. The opposite of work is rest.

It is nice to see some of my faves have crossed over from the bird app!!

TAG team assemble. The TERRELL SHOW is back!! I repeat The TERRELL SHOW is back.

Ever since I saw that Australian woman “dance” at the Olympics (and especially after listening to her explain why she “danced” the way she did) I have been interested in learning more about her academic work. Here is Dr Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn’s thesis abstract

I really am not a fan of “I can’t believe [insert oppressions] is still happening in [insert current year]” type statements. Especially when made by people who aren’t subjected to the oppressions they are speaking about.

For Liverpool folk: The Anthony Walker Foundation has a Hate Crime Support Service. If you’ve witnessed or been a victim of a race or religious hate incident They can offer support. You are not alone. Email: [email protected] Tel: 0151 237 3974 anthonywalkerfoundation.com

Today, in Uber making my way home from Liverpool town centre. Driving past The Docks, stop at traffic lights. Uber guy rolls down window to speak to Cabbie (London style taxi driver). Cabbie ask Uber guy, “Were you down here [The Docks] on Saturday? The Docks, on Sat, where the racists converged.

The go fund me is currently up to 67 Thousand! gofundme.com/f/books-for-spel…

There's a Go Fund Me for Spellow Library:

kaylia nemour on uneven bars was moving and spectacular with the bonus of seeing an algerian gold medal in paris

Walton Youth Centre is asking for book donations to rebuild Spellow library (the library in Liverpool that was burned down by a racist mob) www.instagram.com/reel/C-Q7uS3...

There will be an increase in Good Immigrant narratives in response to the racist violence being inflicted up on us in the UK. Please remember you are free to exist in this world without the need to prove your value. Especially one that is based on an arbitrary metric.

This is Beatriz Souza. Yesterday she won Brazil’s first gold medal in Paris (Judo, 78kg+). Given everything Brazil’s racial politics, and the fact that she’s a full figured black woman with natural hair who is the current face of Brazilian sporting success, this means a lot to so many. Parabens.

I live in Liverpool and the videos, pictures and messages people are sharing within the various Black WhatsApp groups I belong to! Frightening and infuriating scenes.

“Black people shouldn’t move out of London” discourse has re-emerged. There are places (like Liverpool) that were literally the 1st port of call for Black people. As someone who lived in London from infancy to age 18 & has lived in NW England for 20+ yrs, racism is EVERYWHERE.

@keguro.bsky.social I have run all the way from the bird app because I saw a thread by @thebiologistisn.bsky.social who is trying to create blue lima beans

Got my first mini greenhouse. I’m either gonna grow plants or penicillin!!

Stranger: You are Kenyan Me: How do you know? My wrist:

Day 25: André Brock's "Distributed Blackness: African Ameican Cybercultures." @DocDre explores how "racism is not the sole defining characteristic of Black identity" & uncovers ways Blk folks find community and create joy in virtual spaces. 🧶 Paired up w/ "Wild Raspberry Kiss" #miniskeins

This is folks unnecessarily centring themselves, cos what exactly is this message? An acknowledgement of your privilege shielding you & that is why you’ve never felt compelled to march/protest? An admission that your past silence = being complicit?

DMs zimefika Bluesky!! Mucene time!

I have had to escape the bird app. The discourse on Tyla’s racial identity is too much. The sooner people realise that the language of race and racial categorisation is affected by both time and space the easier it will be for us to have certain conversations.

Conversation with Niece the Elder (age 7). Me: Shokolokobangoshe is a wise character from West African folk stories. He knew the answers to everything. Niece the Elder: Was he there before Siri and Google?

Bitch there is something profoundly wrong with you

@keguro.bsky.social see…this is why I still there. Memes, mayhem & mucene shall be my downfall

The bird app is gonna be so chaotic!!!

Still no DMs on this app? I have mucene to share!!! @keguro.bsky.social
