Follow along with @SarahBelclaire's cookie for a Tricep Stretch! Raise one arm (like Cookie) over your head and reach for your opposite shoulder blade. Use the other hand to pull your elbow toward your head. Hold for 10-30s and repeat! #arlisna2020 #selfcare

1) People love to talk about the distinction between Southern and Northern racism like it’s meaningful

2) People also love to pretend that racism gets erased by a college education, as if colleges aren’t institutions that often calcify racism
