Fun fact: Hidden Valley Ranch was invented by a Black man. That's why it always wins. Matter of fact, it was thee original ranch dressing eurweb.com/black-plumbe...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

It’s crazy how your body remembers trauma. I feel the same way I did the time, the day my Grandma passed. I’m sad, not in a good mood, annoyed, sad… I just want to go home and cry.

On this day, I lost the most influential, amazing, witty, beautiful, kind, thoughtful person in my life, my Etta Mae Sewell. I miss her everyday. I know she’s smiling down on me. My Grandmother was Black history, mother of 14, a sharecropper, friends with Coretta Scott King as a child… 💔😖

Honey you can judge away. You don’t even follow me. I don’t let people I don’t know bother me.

Some of y’all are so miserable that the mere sight of someone enjoying a trend bothers your soul. 🤣

Why are we so cute? 🥰

Please let them win. He’ll meltdown.

Happy 100th celebration of Black History Month! #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #bhm #blacksky

BREAKING🚨 This 16-year-old boy was beaten bloody & given a serious head injury by ICE for merely video taping! I'm sure just like in the story below about Alberto Mondragon who's skull they fractured in 8 places & Alex Pretti who they shot in cold blood, they will lie about this, too! ABOLISH ICE!

Do you get it now?

‼️‼️‼️ I wouldn’t sleep if it weren’t from sheer exhaustion and trazodone.

Welp. I’ve deactivate and deleted TikTok. I wonder which one is next.

There is no reforming this. There is no reforming this. There is no reforming this. There is no reforming this. There is no reforming this.

So this whole “arrest as many people (protestors) as you want to” looks like the general plan to fill up all the warehouses that ICE is trying to buy up in the heartland (& probably elsewhere). They plan to disrupt the mid term elections and arrest & beat ‘whoever’, they’ll want to detain them.

‘I mean, it’s not like he’s doing anything that affects ME’ - white people

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

I don’t have to argue my existence. I just continue to live it loudly. #edusky #blacksky #blackedusky #bhm #blackhistorymonth

My first baby is 17! Time slow down! 🥹

My soul is tired.

Damn. Claudette Colvin wasn't even a week ago. Rough week for trailblazers.

My birthday is on a Sunday. I’m hosting a birthday dinner in the city I now live in that is 2 hours away from friends/family. I’ve invited 15 people. Some are saying “I have to work the next day so I’m not coming.” Kinda hurts because I’d do it for them, but I can’t expect ME from others.

I am positive that none of the mouthbreathing dipshits who signed up for ICE have ever been classified as "gifted" before

Interviewed for a job while suffering through laryngitis. 💪🏾😴 Field trip tomorrow. Pray for me.

God gave me my big baby and I don’t take either for granted.

I should stay home tomorrow because I'm sick, but I'm going to throw on a mask, take meds, and tough it out.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I mean, this was one of the major lessons of January 6: the cops do in fact know how to deescalate when the mob is white

TGIF! I had another panic attack at work yesterday. Hope today is much better than yesterday.

Ever sat in your car just to process thoughts before going inside? Follow me for 5-minute rants & real thoughts. Not advice. Not perfection. Just me saying what I need to say… #BeforeIGoInside Go ahead… give me a follow! www.instagram.com/beforeigoins...

Woke up anxious about going to work. Right leg tingling, stomach doing some weird thing, shirt of breath, dizzy… I thought I was hungry. I had to stop on the side of the road to puke and still feel off.

Got my rocking chair! #blackedusky #edusky

The only things I’ve done over the break is visit home, finish books, cuddle with my dogs as I bed-rot, and go to Pilates classes. I did a lil cleaning here and there. I’ve actually felt guilty about doing nothing a couple times then I turned over and watched another episode of Nurse Jackie. 🤷🏾‍♀️

One of my goals for next year is to go on at least one hike a month. Another one is to read 50 books. What’s one (or more) of your goals for next year?

I no longer use Goodreads. I’ve been using The StoryGraph for months and would love some friends. Lets connect! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/tech...

Almost done with Nurse Jackie (S6) & the white privilege is LOUD. There’s no way a Black woman would’ve been given that many chances—she was literally given drugs & still kept her job. I know it’s a TV show, but the truth is definitely there. Also, Jackie is manipulative and lowdown as hell.

I want to move to Texas by 2028.

I need God to give me the strength to deep clean this apartment before I go back to work.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

100 classes!! I’m so proud of myself! #pilatessky
