Back on here for the first time in weeks for a game of, "What was that flyover?" There was a Rear Admiral being buried at Arlington but I don't see a notice from them.

"Blind Side" and "Crash" were held up by white folks as being proof of America's racial progress and white goodness, at the time.

If these allegations are true, they not only expose said myths, but reveal how white people still brutally rob black people.

I’ll be keeping my notes here.

First, DO NOT TRY TO GET OUT OF JURY DUTY!!! This is week had been, BY FAR, the most interesting week I’ve had in a long time. When I tell you I have been LEANED IN. Bay beee…🍿

Me all day: “and then what happened?!”

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

SAG is asking that you DO NOT cosplay any movie or TV characters from CURRENT or PAST productions that would promote the studios that are currently being struck! Doing so will be considered crossing the picket line!

I WILL NEVER let people forget Napoleon’s betrayal of the son of an Enslaved Haitian Woman, *GENERAL Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailletrie*

It inspired that famed Black general’s son to write the best novel of ALL TIME:

The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas

Great thread. I get the disappointment when something you love is no longer there. I'm guilty of privately grumbling to friends about certain pieces of art no longer on display in DC museums. The solution is to find new things to love. Also very pro good story-telling.

🧵Let's have a conversation about museums and what they are and how they work.

Because recently some people have been having some Big Feelings about them and about their favorite artifact being removed from an exhibit. 🧵

During WWI Mi5 recruited Boy Scouts to serve as messengers for classified documents. Unfortunately the boys bragged and gossiped. Eventually mI5 used Girl Guides because they were able to keep from gossiping.
