🎧 Ep.2: “Rhythm and Muse” is out now: "When hip-hop’s popularity skyrocketed in the 90s and early 2000s, designers and stylists embraced—and dressed—their tribes" https://t.co/18JIduu1Yo

@DrCherylT This is one of the reasons I’ve been distancing myself from academia. Over the years, I’ve been put off by all the elitism and gate keeping and the dismissal of knowledge keepers because they don’t hold a precious PhD. I just listen to whoever is doing the work, making an impact.

These days, I am reminded quite often that you do not have to be white to support white supremacy.

The audacity of Shell asking YOU what YOU’RE willing to do to reduce emissions. 🙄

They’re showing you RIGHT HERE how the suggestion that indiv choices - not systems - are a main driver of climate change is a fossil fuel talking point.

Yes, make good choices. Reign in FF corps.

Republicans are Very Mad (again) about my appearance. This time they’re mad that I look good in borrowed clothes (again).

Listen, if Republicans want pointers on looking your best, I’m happy to share.

Tip #1: Drink water and don’t be racist
