I believe in global indigenous solidarity and massive income redistribution.
I'm always down for discussions of race, privilege, and power and how they impact lived experience.
I have impeccable taste in music and terrible taste in men.
I write for a living, I read for life.
My Aunt's house has carpet and my cousin has a cat. I'm allergic to dander. So I was just worrying about sitting on that carpet tonight for NYE.
Then I remembered we live in the burbs now and I don't have to spend New Year's on the floor.
IYKYK.
Growing up Black is wild.
@NatGeo has a special issue out called Atlas of the Bible. All the Bible characters featured in it are white, which I feel like is socially irresponsible and very disappointing 😩

Again: Don't be gaslit by those citing the work of scholars describing the skills of enslaved people to excuse the argument that Blk people benefited from slavery. No one is arguing enslaved people didn't have skills. The problem is pretending they needed slavery to acquire them.
