Big up to @DapsDraws and @NathanBryon for this absolute gem in their brand new picture book Speak Up! - it’s me!!! So over the moon and honoured at this 🥹
How dare you. British slaveowners were compensated to the equivalent of near £20 BILLION in today’s money, drawing a debt that was only paid off, by taxpayers, in 2015. Gladstone’s father received one of the largest individual payouts, equivalent to £80m today. Shall I continue?
me: i almost feel like its my duty to worry about the future and lament the past. like if i dont something bad might happen
psychology: thats called 'anxiety' and 'depression'
me: no... i dont htink its that. its a special other thing i invented
Today for #BlackHistoryMonthUK I salute Olaudah Equiano who published one of the earliest arguments against slavery.
He was born in Nigeria 🇳🇬 circa 1745, and later bought his freedom and eventually settled in the UK.
“Wipe bottoms for us today”
What a thoroughly obnoxious and disrespectful comment about both workers who provide physical and emotional support in an extremely demanding environment (a real job unlike hers) for nearly minimum wage & those who are being cared for. Our loved ones.
