With my eyes closed: "Shutter the social services, make more bombs, send more money to Bibi."

Billionaire Leon Black confidently walks out of his Epstein deposition. A closed-door hearing with the Oversight Committee

Already got me. Sweating.

Get me outta the south. They got Jesus Christ coloring books in the airport. 💀

Anna Julia Cooper’s "A Voice from the South" asserts Black intellectual agency is still ahead of many institutions. #blackstandardcollective #feminism #Booksky www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/61741

Per Gov. Ron DeSantis, the immigration detention center in the Florida swamps known as "Alligator Alcatraz" is closing after nearly a year.

There’s a long tradition of people underestimating us. It’s never worked out for them.

I am not a prolific poster, but I like organizing in support of women. When I think of supporting women, I avoid the negativity of attacks on males. Rather, I strive for positive action: patronizing superior women-owned business, outreach, shelters, PP...and online. 💗 go.bsky.app/DNgPNfj

Maybe I am supposed to do better today than yesterday. Maybe God wanna make me an agent of chaos and confusion today? Who am I to question the Lord?

Sure are a lot of comedy movies about yt folks disaster on their luxury vacations. Room mix-ups. No reservation at the 6 star restaurant. Forgot some kid going to Europe. Wrong shoes. My vacation: "Go hug grandma and eat some corn."

Kurt, why are you in such a bad mood? Well, did ya see the microplastic‑in‑rainfall study? We’ve basically turned the f-ing water cycle into a recycling program for trash we never bothered to manage. Kurt, why do you drink so much? Well, did ya see the microplastic‑in‑rainfall study? We’ve...

“Normal” is just whatever the powerful haven’t bothered to question yet. It is just what they are allowing us to have. For now. #blackstandardcollective

Damn hard to go mow the lawn. Damn hard to make a sandwich. Choose your hard.🥪🥪🥪

Michelle Obama appreciation post just because.

"Fuck You, Pay Me" Thousands know this, but the billions served do not. Person: Maybe I should get a franchise....? Ronald: Great, you bear all costs and pay. Person: Okay, guess I'll set up over here? Grimace: No, we pick the spot, buy it and you rent from us. 1/2

This belongs in every classroom. When systems fail people, solidarity is our lifeline. #Education #Unity #Literature

Black progress depends on courts we never asked for but always have to fight in. Like getting kidnapped to Proud Boy jamboree.

Another police department resists body‑cam transparency… But you know what? We can still see you. See every move.

Referee denied entry. Officials denied entry. Players denied entry. Fans denied entry. The U.S. is proving exactly why it never should’ve been chosen to host the World Cup.

And euphemism is just a $5 word for "lie."

Trying to drink more water but my brain is like “what if we had iced coffee instead.” Whole debate and war in the brain. Coffee going to win tomorrow. #hydrationjourney

Many of us in America have known we're deeply oppressed for a long time, & we're incredibly constrained to fix it. If you're Black in America, it's a natural fact to you that you live under a state that oppresses you since the day you were born, you have to opt out of knowing it to be a sell out.

Gotta go to bed. This is what I got so far. Love! go.bsky.app/SLqgtX9

Some months ago, I saw a quote: “I want to tell you the gentlest thing.” I wonder what it meant—“You are seen”? “You can rest”? For me, gentleness feels like morning light on hills, the scent of linden trees, a quiet kindness that asks nothing. I would like to be told the gentlest thing.

1800's internet? Broadband map dropped and half our neighborhoods have internet that craaaawwwwls. Just shout questions out the window? Kids can’t do homework on buffering. Adults can’t apply for jobs on buffering. Incompetence is not an accident. #Connectivity #BlackStandardCollective

Black women still with worst mental health challenges and bad outcomes. But we knew this. But they still act surprised. But it could be fixed. But they don't want to. #BlackStandardCollective #ReproJustice #HealthEquity

#BreonnaTaylor should be alive today celebrating her birthday. The fight continues. Rest in peace, beautiful baby girl! 😔 #Sheshed #Pinks

1. Cold as hell. 2. Scary ass Russian guys no teeth. 3. Slippin. 4. Slidin. 5. Head crackin. Gonna stay on the couch.

I refuse to speak under oath, get out the car, put hands up and BOOM candlelight vigils for dead Porshia.

I ragebaited myself again….

Fuel prices rising for the fifth week straight.....

You can’t heal what you refuse to name.

“I was going to tell you eventually” remains one of the craziest responses

Oh boy...shoe about to take flight across the room at my 10 year old head.

Order, efficiency! Discipline! or I wear zee trenchcoat when beating baby kittens, ha!

All that yapping and noise INTERRUPTING your own private world of thoughts.

I will steal me just 25 million and donate twice that. Pardon for me?

That heat dome over Mexico pushing temps past 113 — creation is crying out, and we busy-distracted.

New climate report didn’t sugarcoat damn anything. We’re already in the thick of it — storms, floods, fires. They debate: “Is this urgent?” Yes. It’s been urgent. #blackstandardcollective

Same issues keep getting ignored. People want safe neighborhoods, decent healthcare, and groceries that don’t cost a whole paycheck. That is it. #blackstandardcollective

Republicans want an astonishing, debt-exploding $1.5 trillion military budget, more for ICE, billions to bail out failing airlines, and $400 million for Trump’s ballroom. They are looting the treasury and fleecing taxpayers to pay for Trump’s endless wars and vanity projects.

Donald Trump is lying again about elections. You might recall this once lead to a violent insurrection in the Capitol where police officers were attacked and injured. I realize the legacy media wants us to say this nicely, but they can go fuck off. Support Democracy Docket instead. bit.ly/4qr0jTS

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich. Republicans passed this knowing people will die. They know people will lose their health care. They know children will go hungry. They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.
