in the middle of a heatwave and y’all are “joking” about getting ill from a parasite that will leave you overwhelmingly dehydrated because you might drop all of 7 lbs… ok…

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

gas high, rent high, groceries high, medicine and overall healthcare are unaffordable, the job market is in the dirt, childcare is nonexistent… and these people are voting on whether it should be 6 or 8am when the sun rises. 😂

There's a way that you guys are speaking about and treating Rihanna now that she isn't a childless, thin 20-something year old single woman.

There's a thin layer of venom i'm sensing in the way she's being spoken about now

“Shame on you Jeff Bezos”

Activists in NYC project a message on the side of Jeff Bezos’ $120M penthouse from a 72-year-old Amazon worker in North Carolina ahead of the MET Gala tonight

the pitt does other people’s reactions to autism so well. nobody is outright cruel to her but theyre all so passively mean. its a very quiet, everyday type of exclusion, like that “subtle” almost automatic discomfort ppl have when interacting with autistic ppl. reminds me of how+

White people can’t even bring themselves to say excuse me when they brush past you in a public place so that tracks.

[kira-ann @charrlysa]

realizing the "never apologize or offer condolences for something you didnt directly intentionally choose to do or cause" mindset feels deeply connected to the "i didn't do all the bad things my ancestors did, so how dare you expect me to acknowledge how i privilege from it"

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

The “never apologize unless I intended to cause harm” attitude really does explain why White people deny their privilege. They think intent matters more than the harm caused. These people will run you over and say it’s okay cause they didn’t mean to.

Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC.

To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is.

And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.

[B-Day Yvie❣️ @AdamantxYves]

And let's be clear, that man's racism affected those two Black men tonight, but look at the trickle-down effect. It is now impacting us here too because we now have to deal with all of you racists gaslighting and attacking us on his behalf.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Asking for more grace for the person who shouted a racist slur instead of for Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, who had to push through being embarrassed in front of their peers.

But that’s often the expectation — that Black people are just supposed to be ok with being disrespected and dehumanized so that other people don’t feel bad.

this is exactly why they shouldn’t be saying it.. it means nothing to them and everything to us

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth and I have to ask:

Are people including enslaved Africans, descendants of those enslaved, and Black people whose unjust, low-wage labor sustained the economy in the 1800s/1900s as immigrants when they say “immigrants built this country”?

Because chattel slavery was for the express purpose of building empire.

But our ancestors weren’t folks who came here seeking a better life.

They arrived in chains, were bred like cattle, and severely violated, sexually and otherwise. Their trauma shouldn’t be diminished or forgotten, even in efforts toward freedom from ICE’s inhumane, violent tactics.

We can only get to justice for all when truth is taught, embraced, and spoken.

[Misha and Irish’s Newports @herejonahgo]

like I just saw a BLACK PERSON on here say Black History Month isn’t limited to Black American History…

THEN WHO IS IT FAH?!

[Misha and Irish’s Newports @herejonahgo]

y’all would literally NEVER travel to another country to diminish or “correct” the Black people of that country on their history and accomplishments on the day, week, month, etc. that they choose to celebrate it, so WHY is it that y’all do this to Black Americans… in America?

Aye bro… just shut the fuck up at this point

[Shruti ✿ @lostshruu]

Me. It might have started with good intentions but most of the time the rich use it to rent the wombs of poor women. Before you say, “but they paid for it” the rich will always be able to pay and the poor will always need money. That doesn’t automatically make it right

[Eve Eurydice @EurydiceEve]

If the value of pregnant labor is $100K, why not pay every woman who conceives $100K at birth? Because $100k pays for her rights to her baby. Legally separating mothers from the babies growing inside them, turning a mother into a vessel, was the project of patriarchy: turning women into domesticated breeders. In old patriarchy, men had to marry & support women & progeny to own their babies. Now they can hire them short-term to own their babies. The same elites who don’t know what a woman is don’t know that birth is a woman’s rite of passage.
