The South is poor. Louisiana leads the nation with the worst poverty rate. Mississippi is second. Five of the ten poorest states are from the former Confederacy. The only Southern state that isn't in the top 20 in poverty rate is Virginia. The South is poor in large part due to racism 1/x

The main lesson learned is some of these chronically online niggas don’t actually want connection; they want a constant audience. And no one person can realistically fulfill a need that bottomless. I learned that the hard way.

Slightly increase a band 10 Inch Nails

It won't deter his supporters.

Even if I was fortunate enough to not face the deserved consequences of my actions. Lack of consequence is not indicative of sound decision making. That is simply grace.

Slightly increase a band Near Mint Condition

Slightly increase a band The Grandmas and The Grandpas

Slightly increase a band Earth, Wind, Fire and Air

Slightly increase a band Sensible Punks

Slightly increase a band Illinois

I still got it.

Stealing nudes is bad enough. Stealing nudes from Racial Doleful is so fucking pathetic. . .

Imma leave this here: if you are a black male rubbing one out to Rachel Dolezal's pics on only fans...you asshats deserve to get terminal erectile dysfunction...... And lightning bolts to your eyeballs.

Now hold on, lemme hear her side!

Are his arms different lengths or am I bugging? Maybe it's the angle?

Identity doesn’t give people a free pass but why is it that BlueSky seems to enforce the rules more stringently (or make new ones up entirely) when the transgression is by a trans and/or Black person? Aaron isn’t addressing this and that’s what makes it DARVO, yes.

🚨🚨🚨 DOJ sent a grand jury subpoena from the Northern District of Texas to NYU Langone for all patient records of trans youth. DOJ is engaged in forum and judge shopping in Texas in a blatantly unlawful bid to shut down gender affirming care in blue states. nyulangone.org/public-notic...

I had to miss out on swimming last year because I was healing several piercings. I'm purposely on holding off my last piercing and next tattoo so I can be in the pool as much as possible.

In my personal opinion and experience as a business reporter (13 years), with graduate level education in accounting and corporate finance, do not do this. Save that money, invest it in low-index ETFs, and pay off debt.

People just need resources, man.

I learned at 46. Me and the white hairs have been going hard at the community center ever since. I spent my life afraid. Now, I love it, find it very meditative. Months after I started, I got my sister lessons for her birthday (she was 40). It's never too late.

AND YET, this is not a buyers market

Smoke & Stack needed Joseline at the door instead of Cornbread

A fair shot would’ve been being properly housed and fed the whole way through school. America and the poverty porn needs to stop.

You can’t really make this up: left: Toxic narcissist Homelander from “The Boys”/ right: Toxic narcissist from Mar-a-Lago.

“Your prollum is… you really wanna be a whygurr!”

So weird that women are always coming down with a case of the hysteria

“Woman told __________ symptoms were just anxiety” (hantavirus, cancer, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, endometriosis …)

What is a bald head if not a panoramic forehead?

Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

native americans determined to not be birthright citizens; deported back to america

reading a book about iran. apparently the gov there is run by a Supreme Leader who has conducted mass deportations, sent forces into cities, uses state licenses to control media, labeled protestors "enemies," slapped tariffs on industries, and is supported by religious extremists. didn't know this.

Interesting to see this 1947 test screen with Marlon Brando for the film "Rebel Without a Cause." Brando, of course, would later epitomize mid-century American masculinity. He was 23-years-old here.

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

A cop handed me a rose when I was leaving the coffee shop yesterday. Talking bout “a rose for a rose” Me throwing it in the garbage after I made sure he didn’t see me:

A question I have asked myself at least twice a day for the last 3 years. Three more years to go.

Raise your hand if you're a man who's gained some new awareness recently about the fact that nearly all the women you know were sexually harassed by adult men as children. I wanna see a show of hands to see if this is getting through to you from today.

TELL THE NIGGAS WITH THE YACHTS WE BACK OUTSIDE.

This Mother’s Day, nearly 150,000 mothers will spend the day apart from their children. 58% of all women in U.S. prisons are mothers. 80% of women in jails, including many who are incarcerated awaiting trial simply bc they can’t afford bail. Read: www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/03...

if you live in nyc, there's an AMAZING program in bk called Tools & Tiaras that teaches young girls skills of & about women in blue collar/trade careers. definitely recommend. www.toolsandtiaras.org they also need support! you can donate here: bit.ly/3fmBZQB

And this is why the first thing they did was trying to push BW out of the workforce and the government. They know if they hamstring Black women enough the community will fall.

Imma be real blunt, kicking international postdocs out of US academia? Means public institutions, especially ones in the "heartland" are dead 🤷🏿‍♀️

Google Chrome is now silently pushing a 4GB AI model (Gemini Nano) to your local disk without asking. No opt-in, no notice, and it re-downloads even if you delete it. Beyond the lack of consent, the estimated climate cost of forcing this on 2B+ users is massive.
