So I've decided I'm going to start to actually share my poems online. I'll share them here: https://t.co/9t31GVOaSX
Because sometimes you should share those things that you usually just house in your mind or your journal. There's 4 poems already there if you'd like to read them!
@nok__noi Lmao usually when they say African booty scratcher I shut that down bc we’re not xenophobic in here!!! But when they made that pivot I was like imma just let y’all hash this one out idk 😭😭😭
This week my students decided to bring back the phrase “African booty scratcher” and when all the kids they used it on were like “…I’m not African” they changed it to “American booty scratcher” so 😐
Last week I was scrolling on Tiktok, as one does, and accidentally tapped on a live by a fortune teller? I think? And literally as soon as I tapped in she addressed me BY NAME, bc I was the ONLY PERSON in the live. I have never scrolled so fast. Absolutely terrifying.
Mr. b3@s+ content has taken a dark turn... Recently there was a game where whoever stayed in a circle the longest could win $500,000... people are in tents, using all their PTO & sick pay, crying etc. The circle gets smaller everyday & closes them into each other.
A Jamaican woman says that she will no longer be offering short-term stays at her business because Black Americans give her too many problems.
She claims Black Americans are entitled and go to Jamaica expecting to get things for free.
My takeaways from the pandemic is that
1. We need Free Universal Healthcare
2. We need universal basic income
3. We need rent/ home price stabilization
Things could have panned out so much better if we had these things already in place.
You all did not enjoy the pandemic, y’all enjoyed government assistance. You enjoyed receiving basic income for the first time. You enjoyed not having to work for survival for a few months. You did not enjoy millions of people dying.
@co_XXIII @mweyniac I get the bright under eye sometimes as like a stylistic choice but it’s becoming like a staple in even everyday makeup looks and I think that’s weird. And yeah the white girls contour is looking CRAZY lol.
I’m not a make up expert but I think that Black women collectively might be using concealers that are too light? And white women are DEFINITELY using contour and bronzer shades that are way too dark lol.
glad to say i was unaffected by the johnny depp propaganda the first time and do not have to publicly embarrass myself by admitting i ignored the staggering evidence against an abuser because of tiktok edits
They are seriously lacking in emotional and self regulation. And teachers are being tasked with teaching them those skills by squeezing in 15 minute SEL lessons, and then the rest of the day somehow teaching academic content in between frequent student outbursts. It’s insane.
@Jayalmoe I feel like this is actually when you know you’ve made working out a routine- when you can skip a day and not worry bc you know you’ll be back at it tomorrow
@blahhhlicia Bruh when I see things locked up there I just say nevermind and order it online. It’s too much effort, and every time I go there, there’s something else locked up.

I think we’ve reached a point in Black representation in Hollywood where we can start being more specific. Black Americans don’t need to be playing Caribbean or African characters. Black Brits don’t need to be cast as Black American icons/historical figures. Let’s at least try 😭
I knew people would have this response because misogyny is so predictable. The irony is, if you actually listened to her music, Janelle has BEEN very sexual and free.
Her wearing suit and ties had nothing to do with “modesty” but to honor her working class parents.
