I wrote a paper about how using rap music as evidence in court is just another way the justice system oppresses Black folks. A jury of white people doesn’t have the cultural range to understand anything other than a literal interpretation of lyrics that normally aren’t literal.

Tay-K’s music video “The Race” was played in court today and is being used as evidence in his sentencing 🏁

What kills me about the conversation around KC & Aniya is that it’s SO darksided. Meanwhile the white islanders are making their beef fun and cute.

There is a carceral mentality when it comes to black people and sometimes it be our own people leading the charge. #loveislandusa

Uber needs a "how did it smell?" option because this is getting ridiculous. No way should you be chaffeuring people around with a car smelling like butt, BO, weed, bad breath, heavy perfume, etc. Enough is enough. 🤢

“yay i’m going to the hideaway with the man who has made me cry everyday” LIKE WTF

YES: Mamdani's administration just funded New York City's first-ever pet food pantry program.

$750,000 in the FY2027 budget, specifically to help pet owners who can't afford food for their animals. Another $750,000 goes toward affordable spay/neuter services. $1.5 million total, aimed at keeping people and their pets together.

Here's why it matters: NYC animal shelters took in over 16,000 animals last year. Nearly 10,000 were strays. Another 6,500 were owner surrenders — people who loved their pets but couldn't afford to feed them or get them basic vet care, and had to give them up.

Animal welfare advocates had been pushing for this for years, asking for $15.3 million to fully fund pantries, spay/neuter clinics in every borough, and a real animal welfare office. They got a fraction of the ask, But it's the first time the city has put dedicated dollars behind the idea at all.

No family should have to choose between rent and feeding their family — pets included. This is a start.

Joseph Makhani found guilty of stealing two Harlem brownstones worth $4.7 million. He used fake deeds, forged documents & shell companies to take control of the properties. An elderly homeowner was forced into a homeless shelter, despite being the owner of a $3 million home.

Jaylen Brown on reports claiming he thinks he's the smartest person in the room:

"No offense to everybody in sports, but the bar is fuckin' low."

Please love in a way that will set the women in your ancestral lineage free.

The inability to understand the principle of the situation between KC and Aniya is directly linked to low literacy.

Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.

Love Island for me is a live study in sexual economics of hetero dynamics; how bodies, race, skin tone, personality, trauma, insecurities, fears and attractiveness interact and are weaponised in competition, and how the public’s voting choices reveal our biases and pecking order.

all the people angrily saying this isn't alcoholism bc if they admit it is they'd have to admit they're also alcoholics

And it not above me that the two girls with seemingly the biggest fanbases are also the most insecure girls in the villa

[Category Phenomenal Woman @its__layton]
