Black people don’t hang themselves from trees on church grounds after mysteriously vanishing from their home in a state that has a deeply documented history with the Ku Klux Klan. Juliana Nzita was lynched.
last night ICE beat and bloodied me and my friends. they pushed a protester under the wheel of a truck, crushing his foot. they’re sadistic freaks who revel in violence. i can’t imagine what they’re doing to prisoners inside.
abolish ICE and throw every one of them in prison
Kevin Hart showing up to George Floyd’s funeral just to later laugh at a racist joke about him in his own production, and openly not giving a damn how George’s brother feels about it, is a 4k snapshot of what 2020 actually was for these folks. Not true solidarity, but a photo op.
As family homelessness hits record highs, school districts are offering parking lots as safe sites for students and their families to sleep at night https://t.co/PYABAl9XCH
protect the t-boys

now more than ever is it time to vocally and loudly and publicly support the transgender community and fight for their livelihoods and their rights. i’m radically pro-transgender and I hope you all are, too
Adults tend to lose the “magic” of life because they fail to realize it was created by the ppl around them when they were younger. Happiness & Joy are things you have to take control of & create, especially in a capitalist society, especially if you’re an oppressed class
Y’all like Black queer aesthetics, not Black queer people because when we start to talk about our experience or question the status quo y’all get real nasty. Seent.
I don’t understand the expectation for Black queer people to participate in the myths that paint us as an anomaly as if we don’t live and breathe next to you every day
The power of Sinners lives in the women who helped bring it to life.
Ruth E. Carter, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Jayme Lawson, Wunmi Mosaku, Shunika Terry-Jennings, and Hannah Beachler shaped the film’s visual language and cultural depth. Through design, cinematography, hair, performance, and world-building, they helped reimagine Black history through horror, myth, and memory.
The results speak loudly. A box-office phenomenon. Sixteen historic Oscar nominations.
But the real impact lives deeper. These women did more than tell a story about ancestry and survival. They protected it.
Frame by frame, Sinners reminds us that when Black women create with intention, it becomes legacy.
