Here’s a list of a few things I have noticed as a white immigrant in the US:
- Americans pool me in with them when talking about “us” vs “immigrants”
- People ALWAYS assume I’m here legally, and refuse to extend that assumption to other immigrants (mainly Latinx people)

Loved my @fxofbeauty products, but they charged me and placed my renewed order before 6 months and now I can’t cancel? I still got plenty of product left and don’t need more right now. This isn’t right

@JazdzewskiTara Winkies! That’s what my husband taught me. Literally all these other names make more sense

[Annika @banannikaSH]

@LeaCarterWrites @JazdzewskiTara Totally understand what it’s *supposed* to be, but I’ve never heard the word before and would definitely either look it up or just let it bother me for a long time

I really hate how suicide prevention month every year is reduced to “check on your friends” and not universal health care, to defund the police, accessible mental health services, and peer support programs. That analysis is so corny.

RT because suddenly my timeline is filled with pitmad tweets, and as someone who has no clue what it is but likes what people are saying, liking people’s tweets seems like a natural thing to do

Told Scott he should drink more water. He responded with: “What, I drink at least 32 oz a day!”

Do animals know how soft they are? Like, does Pippin know he’s softer than most other cats? Cause he surely acts like it

Hey, lots of books are out today. And books are expensive.

Remember, requesting a book you're excited about at the library, so they order it, is also an amazing way to support authors.

I don’t know of any (yet) but I’m starting this thread in case anyone wants to share Black only collective healing spaces this weekend (virtual and in person). Please share in case someone on your TL needs it.

For every bad piece you write, the closer you get to writing something great.

I don’t think white ppl are afraid of black ppl. I hear the word “fear” a lot, but it’s not fear of black ppl, it’s fear of losing power & control. It’s about supremacy. There are 2 many white ppl who view equality as oppression. They don’t want 2 share & they’re making it clear.

@brittjohnson013 Feeling the feels is never really pretty. Happy you got it out though, and feel better ❤️ gotta take time to feel even the shitty things.

[Annika @banannikaSH]

@brittjohnson013 We do what we gotta do tho 🤷‍♀️As someone who tends to spiral, I know that I sometimes just need to set some boundaries and try to feel all the feelings fully in order to sort them, understand them, then move on. And not feel guilty for spending the time and energy doing so
