People that smoke in the car with their children disgust me. Subject yourself to that toxic crap, not your kids and their developing lungs/bodies. #dobetter
Every day that I go to class I have to take my temperature, socially distance, and wear a mask for the entirety of my time there that day. This is frequently hours at a time. Yet the people in my hometown are outraged about wearing one for 30 minutes while shopping.. 🤦🏻♂️ #bebetter
I miss bartending so much that occasionally I will open my bar bible, flip to a random page and decide I’m making that drink. The down side.... this sometimes requires me to spend obscene amounts of money on alcohol that I may only use a couple of times.
To those speaking up about their sexual assault encounters.. your voice is heard. You are brave. You are strong. You are a warrior. I unfortunately know too many people that this has happened to personally. Even one is far too many. Keep your heads held high. Don’t stop sharing.
So, Tuesday has passed, and we're still Black, so to everyone who wanted to play ally yesterday, I hope you keep the same energy for yourselves, your peers, your employers, and your families, because our oppression isn't a trend. This is a day-to-day reality. Understand that.
I hope that people read this and understand. The color of your skin in this society ABSOLUTELY makes a difference. Be better, educate yourself, check your privilege.
George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
The fact that it’s 2020 and my black brothers and sisters are STILL being treated in this manner is disgusting and repulsive. I recognize my white privilege and acknowledge that I will never truly understand this pain, but I stand with all of you. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿#BlackLivesMatter
