BAD IDEA: Opening a restaurant named GARFIELD’s that only serves lasagna in cat bowls.
GOOD IDEA: Getting vaccinated. #science #VaccinesSaveLives

@GOLD_BL00D3D As a fellow WoC I find it incredibly disappointing that you would take my words and credit them as your own.

@GOLD_BL00D3D I couldn’t have said it better myself-oh wait I did! Thanks for sharing my tweet!

1.) This is getting out of control
2.) This is getting out of hand

The ‘THIS’ you’re referring to is Black people asking for basic human rights. #BlackLivesMatter

@missy_lawson @chrissyteigen They are projecting their own insecurities and failings. It’s not your’s to carry. If you speak from a place of compassion and inclusion- which you do- then your words will create space for what’s important. xx

If you’re placing property over people, that is to say looting makes you more upset than lynchings, I’d like to be used as Exhibit A. My surename is Middleton. A name that was given to my family after my ancestors were stolen & brought to a land that was stolen #BlackLivesMatter

@riceunderwater Thank you for being receptive & for for consistently holding space. xx

If this is hard for you to read, trust me it was harder for me to write. I’ve said this before, black lives have to matter more than a moment of discomfort for you. ✊🏾 I, perhaps naively, do believe in the inherent goodness of people. Please prove me right. #blacklivesmatter

@ClarkCountySch please be advised about @realkatiejow. Her past and current conduct are at best incredibly unprofessional.

@realkatiejow @AOC @ClarkCountySch This is a candidate for your school board. I am an educator and a parent. I would not want someone with Katie Williams’ mentality anywhere near decisions that affect children. She should be embarrassed by her selfishness.

This administration’s response to #COVIDー19 is an example of why it’s our responsibility to elect competent leaders who have the basic mental acuity to seek advice and counsel from experts when dealing with issues outside their purview- without being dismissive and/or defensive.

[Penny Middleton @Penny_Middleton]

Can y’all please stop asking PoC to explain things you don’t understand?Try Google, read a book, watch a documentary, go to plays, look outside your mirror image. If you’re of the race that has historically had access to education, I have zero patience for ignorance. It’s lazy.

It’ll happen eventually, the red carpets...and everyone will@show up. But where were you when I was self-producing? Where were you when the film I made was screening? Where you were you at my workshop for my new play? #artist #actor
