@FDsignifier what are your top black leftist book recommendations??

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

@frawsty_dubz @FreeWavez 🙏🏾🥺

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

@MackKeane I was thinking the same thing

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As a Buddhist monk, I’m dedicated to promoting inter-religious harmony. All religions accept the value of warm-heartedness. Some believe in God; others have faith in karma. When I hear about fighting among religious people, I feel very sad—as if medicine has become poison.

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

Yes. It's time. 👋🏾

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

@pigeontoedjane @violadavis ABSOLUTELY

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

@DamoneWilliams_ @violadavis I'm glad someone else has common sense 🙏🏾

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

This is why avoiding triggers as a permanent practice doesn't help anyone

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Triggers reveal what needs healing.

With the inevitable changes coming to this platform, I wonder how much longer I'll be on here

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

In truth, anything that coerces you into being inauthentic, callused, and cold is toxic, not just masculinity.

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

Masculinity becomes toxic when someone is forced to take on masculine characteristics at the expense of their humanity, empathy, and authenticity. Masculinity in and of itself is not a bad thing.

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

You can belong to a religion without blindly following it's dogmatic approach

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

The complication in basing one's life around religious dogma is that it makes the mind amenable to stories that stroke the ego. In contrast, establishing one's life around spirituality opens the mind to truth and the myriad of places it could be hiding

[Every nigga deserves @ENIGGADESERVES]

Crying is a superpower my nigga.

[ArtistShelleyBruce @ShelleyBruce]

[Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 @RottenTomatoes]

"(It's) the intelligence that she has and the way that she looks at an idea."

Todd Field reveals why he wrote #TÁR for Cate Blanchett and shares the story(s?) of how they first met.

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

As I get older, the whole “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” idea feels less like a cliche and more like real wisdom. Wisdom we desperately need in the age of the internet.

[CharlesBlack @CharlesBlk]

Self-awareness is a skill that should be prioritized in primary schools across the country.

I love disagreement when it’s grounded in understanding and empathy.
