If someone says “I prefer to date someone who xyz” and that doesn’t include you it’s totally okay to shrug and go about your life.

I have so much half read non-fiction… life is just too serious to read serious. Back to my novel of the week

prayers up! 🙏🏾🙏🏾💐✨

DC City Council passes emergency legislation authorizing people to get COVID vaccines without a prescription www.wusa9.com/article/news...

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

a great time to revisit Sinners,

A nap and 23 million dollars

Lots of military air traffic tonight in my usually fairly quiet neighborhood. Disturbing in an already distressed atmosphere in the nation’s capital. My anxiety has been sky high this month, and I’m surprised I’m functioning as well as I am. But this shit ain’t normal or right or just. 😔

america is such a young country.

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

what I’ve learned this week is that ppl want others to experience the same hardships as them. the aspects of their life they hate, in an effort to vindicate their own experiences—they tell others this is the best way. the interesting part tho, is most can only see it from their least painful side.

Fantastic. Now turn the making of the halftime show into a documentary to win an Oscar, then turn that documentary into 'Beef: The Movie' The Musical to win a Tony and do the funniest thing by EGOTing.

I closed 70 tabs on my phone yesterday. 90+ still open, but listen. Progress.

the priestesses of the bayous cooking up their big one, I pray.

Once you leave the protest, come and break bread in community.

Anti-vaxxers aren’t questioning the science, they’re questioning who deserves to live

I get my Covid booster and flu shots yearly like clockwork. Everyone sick. I’m negative and well. And I’ve been outside. They work. Get your shots.

Life before email>>>>> or better yet when it was just used for jokes and chain letters. good times.

My Spring/Summer reads to date and order of which I enjoyed from best to least. March 31st, I had a sudden epiphany that I hadn’t read just for fun in way too long. So I found the closest and grab my first just for fun haul. Shout out to my friend for making us custom wine glass charms. 📚📚💗💐

God has clearly turned their back on us re Dallas sports

Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.

Coco vs. Naomi tomorrow is gonna be fun.

Jay-Z’s YouTube channel uploaded his version of “Imaginary Players” music video:

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

My last post is one of the reasons why I teach middle school. Cuz Black students should see a Black male teacher before high school.

They was talking about some “learn to code” like we weren’t embedding pages already.

Happy birthday, Chad! And THANK YOU for all you do for all of us. Wishing you the best yet! 🥳🙏🏾💐💛

Luka plays for the Lakers and Micah plays for the Packers now.

This is shocking news - reading for pleasure in the USA has fallen 40% in 20 years. on.ft.com/3HTJNeM

People really like to dismiss Jesse Jackson as a thinker and politician, but one thing he understood well was moral power, and the modern Democratic Party would do well to rediscover that lesson.

Anyway I wrote about just why this is bad in the wake of the election loss last year. chadstanton.substack.com/p/we-love-ou...

What’s frustrating is when you’re in meetings and you ask people not to do this thing in particular, and they react with outrage and then go on to do the very thing you asked them not to do.

It also should be noted the plea is being made to the community not to utilize delivery rather than a directive towards the police not to assist ICE in removing people working as delivery drivers.

He legit opened his Twitter less than 10 times and ended a whole career

Hey y'all, please share this with friends, repost, invite other trusted orgs etc Let's be unignorable 🔥

DC has a dizzying array of federal police forces you’ve never heard of: Bureau of Engraving and Printing Police Government Printing Office Police US Mint Police Armed Forces Retirement Home Police Library of Congress Police, right across the street from the Supreme Court Police

A whole meditation about this nation in the fact that this was so easy to miss in the mainstream reporting and that folks who’ve been fighting fascism for 500 years haven’t given up

Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting

House reno 😅

I have nothing but faith in the youths

We have to make it so “gang member” isn’t an easy way to dehumanize people.
