Someone on the former bird app asked who is keeping ironing boards in business, and another individual RT them and said "You can tell who grandma smokes hookah" I laughed for a good 30 minutes.

bury me with that dirt under my fingernails.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I was thinking about how expensive it is to live today. Not even to have a good life, but to simply be alive.

WHEW!!! A. WORD.😶: “White people who want people of color to do the work for them, who want us to draw the map and then carry them on our back down the road that ends racism are still playing out the servant/served paradigm.” ~ bell hooks, Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope

chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art. -Toni Morrison

Years ago a white editor* asked if I was biased about immigration stories because I'm an immigrant. I've been asked a version of this question dozens of times since. The driving idea is that people who embody difference introduce bias; it's the framework that maintains white supremacy in newsrooms.

So yeah, the "this is what you voted for so i don't feel sympathy" doesn't hit them. They are willing to sacrifice their comfort to watch you die.

That "suffering for the sake of your faith" applies even when your faith is white supremacy. No amount of suffering will bother them enough to reverse course. They are suffering IN SERVICE TO. Until opposition to WS is crushed, they will accept martyrdom. That's the article they refuse to write.

What I hope happens is that the one day leads to more days as we realize that we consume too much in the first damn place. Like “not only is it fuck yall but also I’m saving a lot of money by not buying shit I really don’t even need”

everything just feels … off.

I’m laissez-faire about A LOT. Being a deadbeat will never be one of them. Throw people who don’t take care of their kids into the Sun. All of em.

Jalen Hurts. THE FINEST TO EVER DO IT.

If any of yall have a problem with me, pls just beat me up (try to). Please don’t come to my place of work and out perform me for 3 fiscal quarters.

As I think back to that performance, all I can think is… Drake asked for this. Drake taunted that man on multiple diss tracks begging for him to respond. This is what he got.

I love that the performance's storyline was about race and how to play the game in America, Kendrick does the opposite of everything Samuel tells him to do and still wins

Did all that in a pair of boot cut jeans. Diabolical.

Say Drake,

people shouldn’t need a family in order to be cared for. or a job in order to have quality healthcare. or money in order to have a safe place to live and healthy food to eat.

Money. I always feel better when I have it. Solves all my problems or at least contributes to the solutions

The Creole lady tour gonna have to miss me this year.

Black Americans have over 400+ years of cultural significance and works that built the American framework you see today. From education to the arts (music, entertainment, fashion) to culinary to language to science. There isn’t one step this country has made without our presence or influence.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

Choosing yourself feels like physically ripping yourself apart when you’re accustomed to not doing so. …But then once you get comfortable choosing yourself? Everything changes in the best ways.

Someone ready to hurt you again:

Target is rolling back their diverse initiatives. Black folks rolling back their diverse dollars. May the odds be ever in your favor.

you’ll find your happiest, truest & most authentic life by honoring your own lane & allowing it to blossom by continuously watering & tending to it

This. Because I don’t dream of work. I dream of doing whatever I feel like doing whenever I feel like doing it.

It's dark days ahead... Shoot ya shot. Slide in those dms. Slide ya number to them at the coffee shop. Plan a heist. Smother them with a pillow. Plan a rebellion. Take a lil nap! Ya know, whatever floats ya boat. 😁

The death by a thousand cuts game plan remains in effect. Stress is the top weapon as it destroys from the inside out. Your telomeres die prematurely and as a result, so do you. Try to rest, disengage and find joy when and where you can ♥️

It's the fact that nobody has started a riot yet. Because they waiting on Black people to do it. Baby... keep waiting 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

"Beep Me 911"

I absolutely LOVE nature… long-distance.

I love this so much.

Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth. Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.

“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your life.”

Gather around children and hear tell of June 2020 when corporations blacked out their social media on a Tuesday and made commitments to social justice that they never had any intention of fulfilling.
