if we see love as an action, we can better understand that we cannot claim to love if we are being hurtful or abusive. Love and abuse cannot coexist." A parent saying "I love my child" does not automatically make their actions loving.
Look at their faces. What do you see?
I wanted to look them in the eye and say, on the record, that they are attempting to reconstruct this government to undo Black progress. Their targeting of @calvin4clerk is rooted in that reality, and it needed to be called out plainly.
I showed up speaking for myself. No organization in Louisiana sent me. No party asked me to come. I say that to make clear much of this work is being done independently, without formal partnerships, and without the budgets, staff, or institutional backing many established organizations have.
I came because what they are doing is wrong. The court reconstruction happening in New Orleans has been done in different ways already in Baton Rouge and across this state—especially in the largest, Blackest cities—to dilute Black political power.
I started Civics for the People because I know many of us don’t know what is happening inside government or how these systems are used. It’s my way of teaching the game and helping our people move with knowledge.
Their elections are in 2027. We can send them home to frown and chew grass much gum as they please.
If you believe this work matters, support Civics for the People at the link in my bio so I can teach the people and send some on these people home.

As long as your intentions are pure, don't stress over anything or anyone. Trust that you will always end up exactly where you're meant to be, and that nothing is ever truly your loss.
The idea that a few meals somehow ‘covers’ casual sex—when the financial, legal, and physical risk of pregnancy in a red state falls mostly on me—is actually psychotic.
If you weren’t passing around The Coldest Winter Ever and Flyy Girl and Zane books like drug deals in middle school then you missed out on some great Black girlhood 😂 and the dolls all read FAST 💅🏾
having virgo & libra placements means you notice imbalance early. who initiates. who apologizes. who adjusts. you’ll keep things smooth for a while, but once you see the pattern repeating, you stop compensating.
@reyphorian@Puff_Iya And the one where a woman was grieving her mother and there was one portion of her mum's lasagne in the freezer she was saving for when she could face eating it for the last time and when she went to eat it her husband already had 😔 (and she'd told him what it was -he 'forgot')
a good spiritual boundary to practice is not being interested in what’s going on in the lives of those you’re no longer connected to. protecting your energy isn’t just about keeping certain people out. it’s about staying out of their energy fields too.
