Black people and the dadadada part of storytelling

Seeing how these losers are reacting to this guys win versus the guy in the oval office tells me a lot.

Bill Ackman, one of Mamdani’s fiercest critics, was conciliatory: “If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.”

It didn’t take a genius to imagine that next to them being allowed to act as masked villains while they abduct ppl is that actual predators that don’t work for the badge also take advantage of it. Idk what needs to be done, but since the org is the cause of all this, they should be held accountable

Calling Zohran Mamdani inexperienced as if they didn’t vote in a heathenous failure into the highest office of this godforsaken country.

Idk.... Not that I didn't like the movies but do we need to go back when we could potentially give focus to a hopeful new favorite?

EVERY HEADLINE IS MAKING ME SMILE. (RARE)

When I have a migraine I just get a bit meaner.

Seeing some of the reasons that people voted red makes me sad. For some reason they felt so much loyalty to a party that they had no care for what their vote might mean.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I also have a migraine today and for some reason I'm not taking the meds I worked so hard to get.

I hate how with some of these websites & apps you have to make an account. This is why we can never keep our information safe in this damn world.

Cousin told me about a show called Physical 100 and I think I'd like Changjo to be on it. I don't know how far he'd go on it because I don't know what happen on the show but I'd like to see him be physical and looking good on it. I believe in him.

I think I've said it before (probably to myself) but it is really weird to me that in a time where job stability is becoming harder to have that there is now an influx of betting and gambling apps. It's not a guarantee that you'll have a job but the apps want you to bet on games to "win big".

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

lol interrupting your NYC Mayoral Election coverage to share that I am featured on the front page of THE VOICE NEWSPAPER's book section in the U.K. this month! The Voice is the U.K.'s longest running and ONLY newspaper for Black British people. November issue drops soon. #blacksky #uk

When will Trump and the Republicans end this shutdown? The people are suffering especially their constituents. That should be a push for them to compromise for the good of the people.

Jeff Bezos’ stake in Amazon is up almost $30 billion since Friday.

It is frankly REMARKABLE that a 34-year old Brown Muslim guy from Uganda, who loves smiling, custodians, and bodegas, has a fighting a chance to lead one of the most powerful cities in the world. Like the sentence almost sounds unbelievable AND YET. #zohranmamdani #nyc #mayoral #election

I have a lot of respect who have a side gig because they need it and yet don't have the energy. Because I'm in that position of needing one but that energy... It's nonexistent.

Blocking accounts that post ai generated "art"

The attacks against Black women are sending a loud message: "Black women are not valued." The problem with that is... we have value. We're important to the economy. We're parents. We're educated. We're community pillars. We're people. And undervaluing us will cost everyone. #TheDoubleTax

Something else that I've been thinking about is the fact that people are complaining about flights and wait times for TSA but not bringing up the fact that any one who is still working is technically spending money to do it and getting negatives vibes in return.

For some reason I've noticed that I work better when I'm sat on the edge of a chair. When I'm sat like normal I just feel like I can chill or just take it easy for some reason. I don't get it but I live with it. It takes strength and bravery but God gave that to me in spades.

TLDR: Teen Vogue's coverage is about to be watered down in a way that serves no one. The politics section, which featured cutting edge stories on repro rights, the economy, and more is now gone. Black women are no longer at what remains. Everybody loses. This is #TheDoubleTax.

I honestly forgot about Sephora. So I’m glad that people continuously talk about all these places. Because I don’t really shop often so it reminds me of the places and also how we feel.

I wasn’t expecting to see that about the dad in Mieruko-Chan

New Video Out Now 🚨 I discuss Nobody’s Girl, Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, and how her life and story as a teen sex trafficking victim is part of a larger conversation about the normalization + aestheticization of girlhood trauma for mass consumption.

Using AI to actualize "The Welfare Queen" trope to then justify starving 43 million people is PERFECT example of how ignoring #TheDoubleTax— the compounded cost of racism and sexism— makes everyone else worse off.

LIBRARIES RULE (and are key to the resistance). In this essay, I will-

"Why don't people support welfare programs?" Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness. White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

A lovely thread of the webtoons I’m reading or have read or just tried.

The cruelty is the point.

Now that I’ve read all of #TGCF I need the seasons to come out asap. Same with #SVSSS but I’m not too sure about the situation with the donghua

Seeing all this stuff with #TheBraxtons and other than the fact that I do agree with people about possibly canceling the show because they don’t want to see the sisters, especially Toni and Tamar in a negative light- something else is the Towanda and even Trina situation.

Started reading Well-Hung Hero on Lezhin and I’m cracking up 😭😭😭😭 It is sad I guess but also the way he fights gets to me

It’ll never make sense that a resource rich continent like Africa is the way it is now.

It’s annoying that some won’t look into this. They’ll see this video & believe it. This is why we need to talk about how generative AI is making it so much easier to push false stories and the fact that people don’t want to question something if it feeds into their belief

Huda Beauty knew that girl was racist when they partnered with her the first time.

It’s wild they can go back to 2004 studies but leave out the teeny years in between of the history of tis development…

Hey everyone! I haven’t officially updated this but my sister is up for a new job, but in the interim, we need assistance with food and housing. If you are able to donate and/or repost this fund, that would be amazing! We are in need of just under 1000.

It’s actually really bad.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

It’s the racism, for sure. But I have also wondered if there is a certain bias I don’t have a name for — like, his natural athleticism makes him read as an action star even when he is doing drama?? So (especially white out-of-touch) voters don’t see him as an actor? Or it’s just the racism.

Tbh people going to the Dubai or the UAE in general is giving loser energy on top of being an ignorant ass. It’ll never be a flex especially if you’re going for the gold. Because how does a country with no access to gold within their borders hoard so much??? Answer: You steal it from another country

On vol 7 of Erha. Finished TGCF & TDTBPF…. Think I’m ready to throw another danmei series to the list or even baihe👀

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill is honestly the best thing for me right now. After watching something that breaks your heart a bit of Mukoda & Fel & Sui & Dora is exactly what I need.

Now why they got Abel being the level-headed one? #TheWaterMagician

lol I have had this thought for many years. Making your entire online identity about a politician is WEIRD BEHAVIOR. It's odd.
