I remember God in everything and speak of him all the time because what else is actually worth my time? If I'm not acknowledging God in some way I might as well be a dead man looking for a grave to lie in.

I feel like I’m in a twilight zone. I thought it was common knowledge that these types of aesthetics are acknowledgment of our ancestors and African culture. A statement of resisting whiteness & reconnecting with the Earth, their roots.

Y'all realize the Haitian Revolution changed the way the slave trade even functioned and permanently altered racial dynamics in the Caribbean and beyond precisely because colonizers were terrified that Haitians were coming to other colonies and helping the enslaved rebel, right?

I write in my upcoming book how true crime has conditioned people to think DNA evidence is IRREFUTABLE. It is NOT. Between lab contamination, cross contamination, partial samples, transfer DNA, and even forensic people LYING or misinterpreting stats at trials, it’s NOT foolproof

It’s unattractive to not be aware of politics, and what’s going on in the world

He did it again. He woke us up today, with breath in our body and strength in our limbs.
Just type Amen if you believe God is the reason why you’re awake today

I don’t interact with ppl who still think all of west Africa willfully “traded slaves” you don’t even need a history book to know that a trade with people who have more power than you, more technology/weapons than you, speak a whole different language than you couldn’t be fair

Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world is passing away, and its lust; but he who does the will of God abides for ever. Amen.

I think the real issue is at some point we lumped in the people who were conscious and actually studying our history with the people who watch videos on youtube about how we used to be able to live for 3000 years

#MichaelJackson & The Jackson 5’s song "You've Changed" has indeed gone through a few noticeable variations over the years, which often confuses listeners. Recorded initially at United Sound Systems in Chicago in 1967. Before the version most are familiar with on their debut Motown album, it was first released as the B-side to their debut 1968 single "Big Boy" on the Gary, Indiana-based Steeltown Records. Here is that version!

Based on a request I am sharing the full story I grow up close to this great church and I used to go when I was child.
The miracle of transferring the Church of Saint Abaskhiron Al-Qallini is considered one of the established miracles in Coptic heritage, popularly known as the miracle of “moving the church in the wedding procession.” It reflects the status of this saint (known as the martyr Al-Qallini) among the Copts.

Historical sources and church tradition indicate that this miracle took place in the sixteenth century AD, specifically during the reign of Sultan Barquq (one of the sultans of the Burji Mamluks), through Saint Abaskhiron Al-Qallini. It was the Church of Saint Abaskhiron located in Qallin (in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate), which the saint transferred to Al-Bayahu in Minya Governorate in Upper Egypt, and it still stands to this day. The church was moved from its old place, Qallin, to the new place, Al-Bayahu, over a distance of 450 kilometers.

The people of Qallin used to designate one specific night each year to hold several weddings together, perhaps because transportation was difficult at that time and because it coincided with the harvest season. During one of these celebrations, seven weddings had been scheduled, and around one hundred people had gathered inside the church.

The enemy of goodness had stirred up persecutors against them, and when they were coming to attack the church, the believers learned of this. So they closed all the church doors and constantly sought the intercession of Saint Abaskhiron, the patron saint of their town and church, so that he might save them from the hands of those evil people.

During the night, before the persecutors carried out what they intended, the church—with all those inside it—was transferred to Al-Bayahu in Upper Egypt. The water well and the palm tree that stood in front of the church were transferred as well (and this well still exists in front of the church until now, and its water performs miracles).

In the morning, the people came out of the church only to find themselves in a country different from their own, yet the church was still their church.

The saint knew what would happen to his church, so one night before the transfer, Saint Abaskhiron went to Al-Bayahu to buy the land onto which his church would be moved. Indeed, he bought the land from one of the Bedouins for one dinar, but that land was merely a mound of dirt. Since God does not approve that His church be moved onto land that is not clean, He sent strong winds that removed the dirt and made the land very clean so that it would be ready to receive the church the next day (glory to You, O Lord, worker of wonders).

Returning once again to the believers who had been inside the church and found themselves in another place: they had a problem,how would they return to their town, Qallin, and to their homes? Then the saint appeared to them without them recognizing him and offered his help. He took them to the bank of the Nile and hired them a boat at his own expense to take them back to Qallin. The journey from Al-Bayahu to Qallin by boat normally took around ten days, but they arrived in one day. Upon their arrival, the saint disappeared from among them, and they realized that he was the great martyr and their intercessor, Abaskhiron Al-Qallini. The owner of the boat was astonished and believed in Christianity, and vowed that every day he would donate half of his earnings to the Church of Abaskhiron Al-Qallini (and parts of this boat are also preserved in the church).

When the believers returned to their town of Qallin, they naturally did not find the church because it had been moved to Al-Bayahu, but instead they found in its place a body of water that still exists today and is called Lake Al-Qallini.

Some ask: why Al-Bayahu specifically?

Tradition recounts that when Saint Abaskhiron the soldier was taken for torture from Athrib to Ansena, the boat stopped near the village of Al-Bayahu, and
