I actually love Far Rock. It's mad nature, calm, and beautiful. Lots of Black ppl. It's basically a beach town, and feels like one. It's just far asf from everything

I think about her a lot. She was destitute and forgotten at the time she died. I doubt she could have conceived that her people would still be talking about her artistry and intellect almost 65 year after her death but here we are.

PBS did a great job with her documentary. Here’s the link if you haven’t seen it.

It’s been fuck the Red Cross since 2010 when they couldn’t account for nearly half a billion dollars in relief funds for Haiti when the earthquake happened and never faced any repercussions for that. DO NOT DONATE TO THEM.

This keeps being tweeted without the context that the main reason they get torn down is to build tourist sites and to make areas more -aesthetic - for tourists.

Jamaica, Sudan, and SNAP, all at once. this is why black politics demands internationalism. there’s no way to avoid how deeply implicated we are in each others’ suffering and salvation.

Dear Caribbean Countries,
Let this be a testament to the importance of your mangroves.

The sacrifice Haiti made so themselves and other islands, including Jamaica, could be freed from slavery.

Should be ashamed to even have our flag in your name.

wow. dom. rep. is really a christofascist state. people apparently don’t have freedoms of religion if isn’t catholic or a christian denomination. i watched a mayor of a barrio barge into someone’s home for practicing voodoo.

I’m so sorry, Atabey and to our ancestors.

for a country that likes emphasize indigenous ancestry/culture and tries to have the monopoly on who is a “true Taino or not” — this is incredibly disrespectful, harmful, ignorant and hateful to our lineage.

Stealing and using a phrase that’s supposed to be reserved for Black women and girls is not surprising

[jade🐾🫑 @bullets2morgue]

She died from medical racism and neglect , let’s not brush past this as another tragedy. Her symptoms showed up a YEAR before they did any testing / scheduled her for testing. Medical misogyny is alive and black women suffer the hardest.
