Intersectional Steminist, Character

[Charlyn @CharlynBuchanan]

@izzyonline Once I realized I had no design sense, I took time to develop and inform my taste; learn styles, explore furniture + decide on a theme that works with the space’s character. Next was color, except I knew nothing about color, so I explored color theory. In all, about 2 years.

One thing I don’t miss about social events during normal life: having my fun interrupted so someone can tell me about an app idea they’d like me to build...for free. 😂

Me today

[Charlyn @CharlynBuchanan]

@kvlly Yep! Working from home, and the kiddo is remote schooling. Occasional outdoor dining, play dates and events. No desire to be on a bus, train or plane for a while. Masks when outside around people. We’ve all been safe so far, so I think it’s worth it.

@lolacoaster @SpeakPatrice Before the layoffs, an initial suggestion was to place the labor on random black employees to volunteer to do not just their expected work, but ALSO BE THE HANDS. I was in the room. Me and the only other black colleague in that meeting were absolutely gobsmacked.

[Charlyn @CharlynBuchanan]

@SpeakPatrice I remember this. And I’ll never forget our “colleagues” posing and grinning with glee, some even defending it. And the company’s lukewarm response.

Don’t you forget it. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[Dominic Bell 🇯🇲 @DBell_hitlist]

Never forget that a small group of people who were enslaved until 1838, under colonialism until 1962, created: mento, ska, rocksteady, reggae, and dancehall. And when we migrated to the Bronx, we created hip-hop, and when we went to London, our children created Grime. One love 🇯🇲

If you’re the working parent of an infant, toddler, or preschooler, what you have been doing for the last two months is straight up heroic. Wishing you strength for each day and the ability to see how amazing you are.

"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work."

I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.

@isEqualToDan @PaolaNotPaolo I wasn’t prepared for this level of sustained festivity. 😩 25yo me can never know this is what became of us.
