“Scholarly attention has rightly focused on the forced reproduction of enslaved Black women, but that focus need not come at the expense of understanding the position of enslaved Black men, who were also denied sexual autonomy, including the ability to choose with whom they would have children.”

I honestly think that was the first time I can say I loved Gaga’s voice. I always thought she had a nice voice but she really bodied that live performance.

Bad Bunny gave me a lil of my American pride back honestly. I suppose I was conditioned to see US as separate from everything else in the Americas. I was embarrassed to claim it all my life. Even the word “America” feels more alive with this new perspective. I’m grateful for it.

Maybe it’s Optimistic - S. O. Blackness. That one transcends generations…

Like what is Black America’s “heart song”?

Maybe we are one - FB& Maze?

I wonder that Black America’s soul song is. Like what’s one song you can play that can call any one of us to attention. I’d reckon it’s a gospel song like this old building. But I mean the one that makes us all feel pride. It might actually be Kendrick - Alright…🤔

I desire radical change. I require radical change.

A man that can teach me something 😮‍💨 >>

I still have yet to sit with the fact that all these theories and things I understood to be secret or alleged are sitting in my face as fact. All this time. All these years I knew there was something beyond what I could see. But I certainly don’t feel vindicated…

It was the most watched because it wasn’t a selfish choice. You finally included millions in something they have wanted to see themselves in for decades maybe.

My grandparents should not have to die in a world worse than the one they had growing up. I gotta do something.

People find politics in the strangest places.

All halftime taught me is that we can really take this world back if we wanted it. I wasn’t taught much about it so to me, Puerto Rico’s story looks like Black American history and MANY MANY others.

He scared the hell outta me up on that pole tho. I was fussin 😭

I loved the halftime show. I didn’t understand a thing but I got chills, cried, and danced all through it! Well done, #BadBunny

I’m learning these words AND what they mean.

you pity the moth confusing a lamp for the moon, yet here you are confusing a screen for the world

Hillary Clinton said “Knuck if you Buck” Ok Hillz. I know that’s right

Me as a Kid: Now I lay me down to sleep I praydalor my sodakeep God: What? 🤔🤣

Blossom, Commander and the leader 🫡🎀

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

Bad Bunny is doing an extremely brave thing. I pray he’s protected and blessed for it.

I miss out on my craft so much. Like just yesterday I had an old friend call and ask me if I’m still animating because he has a concept. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I haven’t touched my pencil seriously in months.

I’m standing on all kinds of bidness today. I mean ain’t not nobody bout to cross my boundaries 😂

I’m so grateful to have witnessed the transition from Jerry to Maury to Karamo. I was annoyed at first, but they passed the torch to a good one.

One thing about that man, he’s always called me out for not seeing who am. I think I got it now.

I need to romanticize my life more. I really resist romance and I need to explore that.

I can literally feel when my brain chemistry is changing about something. It’s so fucking weird.

How you make a Big Mac with no Mac sauce? 😒

Water on counters.

baby gets what baby wants.

Idk if our greatest Mumble Queen is SZA or Tems…🤔

And I finally moved my amibo in!!

I finally got two lilies in animal crossing after 5 years and 2 islands 😭

Few things in life give me more pleasure than what I feel when my grandma trusts me to drive her somewhere. It’s such a rare ask of her. I love this lady’s whole existence.

I’m bored of this house and I can’t get out 😭

Bruh I’m finna go dark everywhere..

Why the fuck is yt showing me weird ai pseudo porn ads?

If I was shy about my age, yacht rock would do me in every time I go to Walmart lmao.

The saxophone is 100% the sound of the 90s.

My locs wanna be ramen noodles so bad right now bruh. Sports mode we go 🙄

Weird question/thought: the “tired” I feel from the state of affairs rests along the sides of my face and in a thin line atop my shoulders. Since I can’t beat the tired let’s see if I can solve it. Might as well.

Why am I always amazed at myself when I show myself I’m good at something? Like I’m shocked I’m knowledgeable and good at my job occasionally, it’s been 6 years lol

Not being able to make a 5 am grocery run will be the reason I go into retail. Because fuck this.

5am opening should be a minimum. Like yall realize 6am is two hours before most folk gotta be at work?

Not having access to a 24hr Walmart is really fucking with my mental health.

Sometimes one can be overly self aware. Overly aware in general. Survival mode can have you like that
