“I’ve heard...people...talking about, "with the people. For the people & by the people." Being a Black woman from Mississippi, I’ve learned that long ago that’s not true. It’s "with the handful. For a handful. By a handful." But we going to change that, baby." - Fannie Lou Hamer

Welcome to America

Nina Simone said “The people that built their heaven on your land are telling you yours is in the sky”

Food is political. Health is political. Survival always has been. Understand the system as it is, not as it claims to be; the rules are weaponized against you, adapt or perish.

Let me just say: Peace to you, if ….

Some people have asked me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement. Good night✌🏾 #BookWorm

You can’t cage a jungle. Care grows anyway. 1785. 1865. 1945. Now comes the next reckoning. History is watching. #4thTurning #Cyclical #Saeculum #ThinkBetter💭

The mind is its own place.

As we enter a new calendar year, we believe in the power of community—people coming together, feeding one another, building systems rooted in care. Grocery Croppers grows more than food; we grow shared responsibility and a future where no one stands alone. We grow and sustain each other.

@cyntizzle.bsky.social Happy New Calendar Year cousin. I love you 😘🫶🏾❤️

Why do so many Disney animated movies erase the mother figures or portray them as villains? Is this a patriarchal storytelling pattern or am I tripping? I see how these stories (and many others) have shaped society and I'm curious what you all think or see... #IWonder

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

This Superbowl would mark the 40th anniversary of the bears first Superbowl win and next year would mark the 20th anniversary of their last time in the Superbowl. So we need to win this year and next year.... That would be legendary 🐻⬇️ #DaBears

Across red brick courtyards, sunlight echoes. Generations gather, red bricks hold their echoes. Footsteps linger, red courtyards frame fresco. Time circles back, red bricks repeat its echo. #MyFavoritePoemOf2025 #IStillWriteIRarelyShareThem

Ironically, the sociopolitical label "White" is itself a DEI construct that predates every modern policy currently being dismantled.

The US justice department has scrubbed a study from its website concluding that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terrorist group. #ReminderForMyself web.archive.org/web/20250911...

#Roshambo isn't just a childish game, it's a blueprint. Human society follows the rules of Rock, Paper, Scissors... violence cuts law, law covers land, and land ultimately crushes violence, causing history to repeat whenever power mistakes itself for permanence. #ChildsPlay

Shout-out to Warner Sallman, the infamous Christ Head artist, and his brother in law Haddon Sundblom. Sallman gave you your image of Jesus and Sundblom gave Jesus a capitalist wingman... One who taught you how to worship comfort, consumption, reward, and perpetual debt. #Xmas
