I promise that borderline harassing us online via multiple platforms to review a title is not the way to get us to do literally anything. We prioritize our patrons, which this individual knows and yet they have consistently been needling us over and over again as if it’s going to change our mind.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally

🧵 | Longtime no see 👋🏾 Lately, I’ve been prioritizing my heart and mental health while working through burnout. That shouldn’t feel radical for a Black woman. Even with the challenges, my podcast shows I’m still accomplishing a lot and I’m not done.
