The root of all this - the sassy Brands Are People Too genre of posting - is Denny’s Tumblr, which no one remembers now. I was at a conference in 2015 where a presenter was raving about how it was the future of social media, and deep down I knew she was right

Willie Mays wasn’t just a singular athlete, blessed with an unmatched combination of grace, skill and power. He was also a wonderfully warm and generous person - and an inspiration to an entire generation. I’m lucky to have spent time with him over the years, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

RON ALLEN!! 60 years young looking sick as ever. Fun fact, Ron was my first board sponsor. I was 14 and couldn’t believe he was 40 and skating so hard. Not surprised he’s still putting out parts at 60. Best energy! Go watch his Krooked part and get hyped.

a deeply unsettling read that reveals how dehumanizing the of perception of black Americans as a monolith rather than the examination of a horrific crime. Does depersonalized sexual violence inevitably lead to/warrant depersonalized persecution ?

“We both went through the fire,” said Anthony Broadwater, who was wrongfully convicted of the novelist Alice Sebold’s rape. “Will it ever be gone from my memory, my mind, my thoughts? No. And it’s not going to be gone for her, either.”

MISSING CONTEXT

If we add same-race crime, we see that the vast majority of violent crimes in America involve white victims and white offenders.
