creating art is difficult. Getting it out there in front of people, even with resources, is deeply embarrassing. It just is what it is.

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

This is the problem lol. That’s not a winning strategy

[kenya the podcaster ✨ @KenyaTheHunter]

I will say that I would like us to think past “get this Black woman in office” when we’re doing this politics thing, because Black politicians will (and have) shamelessly displace and disenfranchise Black folks the same way other politicians do.

Anyway.. Black Atlantans always suffered at the hands of Neoliberal Black mayors. Some great reads on it

[4quest.❤️🔱🖤 @thinkpiecetribe]

EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER!! Also Tortuguita was murdered because they protested against this project and weren’t armed when they got shot to death by APD so you saying “it didn’t affect anyone” is objectively incorrect

Avery Wilson.

But he’s an anomaly. He also sings Whitney Houston songs in the original key. 😩

Writing a substack on how women need to shift the perspective of their period from this to seeing it as an emotional release and reset.

The heavy feelings/crying is typically all suppressed emotions coming to the surface that gets brushed off as being dramatic or sensitive!

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Victor Wembanyama takes a stand against ICE violence:

Every day I wake up and see the news, and I'm horrified. It's crazy that some people make it seem like the murder of civilians is acceptable.

I’m so proud of them and they asked great follow-up questions. Journalism opens doors. @WABJDC

Welp, great grand daddy, we did it.

[Swift @Goodfella_100]

When Angel did the “too small” gesture and held it halfway down the court, I already knew she was trolling Paige😭. I saw comments saying that after Paige hit that three, she looked over at Angel on the bench and stuck her tongue out at her lol. They were definitely trolling each other back and forth 😂

That’s what makes this shit so hype and fun. Good friends off the court. Competitors on the court.

They both box office fr 🎥🔥💯💯
