spotify wrapped used to be an email, but this former intern had the idea of turning it into an interactive story; spotify stole her idea without ever paying her for it

If you're shocked and disgusted by the anti-black racism spewed by the LA county politicians, check out @InADash and @AfroLatinoTrav 's seminar below. This behavior is exactly what is discussed and dissected. We need to do better as a community. Here's where to start:

@byraymondarturo Agreed!

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.

We are sorry to say that our beloved patriarch passed away this morning peacefully. Words cannot express the sadness we feel. With a kiss on your head- Goodnight dad. We love you.

#sayhername #tierramarielewis She was not only posthumously misgendered and deadnamed by authorities and news outlets, but it is blatantly disrespectful to her and her loved ones to publicly release this news two months after her passing. Smh #protectblacktranswomen

Mystery & grief surrounds murder of Tierramarie Lewis as authorities keep erasing her identity https://t.co/8gzUGx3KhF

[The Advocate @TheAdvocateMag]

"Tierramarie should have had the chance to live the life she wanted to live." https://t.co/sv3WjIRJaP

[TransgenderLawCenter @TransLawCenter]

Tierramarie Lewis was deeply loved. Misgendered and deadnamed by the state, we are only learning of her death in June, this week. Another injustice suffered by trans people even in their death.

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

We are saddened to learn of the death of Tierramarie Lewis, a Black trans woman who was killed in Cleveland on June 12. Due to misgendering and misnaming from local officials and a lack of media coverage, her death was not reported until recently.

Me: do you have probable cause?
Cop: I need you to cooperate. Do you have any weapons?
Me: *shows badge* yes.
Cop: sorry, sir, just being vigilant; you're free to go.

I searched, we have not had a vehicle theft in over a year. I have a meeting with the Police Chief tomorrow🤬

[E pluribus unum - Qui tacet consentit @HRRevels1]

I was pulled over for driving a nice car, again.

Cop: is this your car?
Me: yes
Cop: what do you do?
Me: why?
Cop: we've had a few car thefts lately
Me: what about my car said stolen? the Purple Heart license plate?
Cop: do you mind if I search the vehicle?
