Police DO NOT prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.

Black people who went to “distinguished” PWIs: we don’t talk about how wearing school gear in public REALLY makes you a target for a fresh batch of micro aggressions. 🙃😤 #younggiftedandblack #BlackHistoryMonth

In case you didn't know...

Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in late Autumn. All Santa’s reindeer are therefore female, which means Rudolph is persistently misgendered.

Resolutions for an emotionally healthy 2025:

1. I work on my emotional reactivity. I’ll pause before I habitually react. I’ll notice how confident this makes me.

2. I won’t over-explain. If I’m misunderstood, that’s ok. Being misunderstood is natural part of life— not a personal rejection.

3. I will stop asking for input from everyone before making decisions. I’ll get in touch with the quiet inner voice within that will never guide me wrong.

4. I will never match anyone else’s energy. I’ll practice behaving in ways that I’m proud of even when others are lower versions of themselves.

5. I will stop gaslighting myself. I don’t need to focus on the positive or tell myself other people have it worse. I’ll acknowledge it’s painful and that my feelings are valid— emotions fade when we stop trying to change them.

6. I will stop making choices for my parent’s approval. My life is for me and this will free me from resenting them.

7. When someone is rude to me, I will realize they’re fighting an inner battle. I don’t fight battles that aren’t my own.

8. I will stop trying to fix other people while I neglect myself in the process. Non-intervention is a form of love.

9. I’ll find time for creativity, play, and just existing. I’ll get more time in nature and in the sun. Then, I’ll notice how my mind gets more quiet.

10. I will express gratitude for the people in my life that make me feel seen and safe, on a regular basis. I’ll pour emotional energy into these people just as they’ve done for me.

Perhaps my greatest accomplishment this year. I became a Master. Mama came to Seattle to help me celebrate! Her intellect has always inspired me. 🥰 I’m carrying the spirit of creativity, risk, life-long learning and embracing my inner multi-hyphenate into 2025 and beyond.

[Jesimiel R. Jenkins @jayrossjenks]

Just so we’re clear. 🙃✌🏽

Honey, my momma’s clean, spacious, and quiet house down south (with the full fridge and pantry) be feeling more and more appealing with each passing year. Y’all can have adulthood. Rent, jobs, ambition. It’s all ghetto. 😂

[Jesimiel R. Jenkins @jayrossjenks]

@LangstonDarby It’s giving swamp.
