'How the sweet potato got from the Americas to Polynesia is a bit of a mystery' no it's fucking not Pacific peoples are the best seafaring navigators in world history. Shut up. Indigenous peoples had societies that interacted with each other without European interference.

We went from "teachers are amazing and deserve all the money" to "teachers don't want to work." We went from "essential workers" to "disposable workers." And we went from paying people to stay home to cutting quarantine in half and back to work. Idk how anyone is okay with this.

Federal student loans have been paused for 653 days and the sky hasn't fallen. Folks, the government doesn't need our payments. They never did.

ME WATCHING ANY MARVEL MOVIE AFTER ENDGAME:
Wait, so society is expected to just carry on as if this insane collective trauma never happened? That’s ridiculous.

ME IN 2022:
Oh.

I still haven’t really figured out what you think the point of government is if it’s not to help people have a roof over their head, food in the fridge, childcare, healthcare, or a living wage.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The fact that you simply can’t, as a reality of nature, fight a pandemic as an individual based on your own individual choices alone, should show us all that none of us truly exists alone. Our fates truly are bound together. That reality should inform how we live going forward.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Yeah… I still think people largely underappreciate how capitalism is fundamentally built around the literal commodification of Black people. The historical suppression around slavery is why ppl think capitalism & anti-Black racism are different things when they really aren’t.

This era of prolonged loss and mourning has caused me to reevaluate how I approach my daily living. I want peace, freedom, balance, joy in daily living & quality time with loved ones above all else.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I mean… again, the refusal to confront and dismantle both structural whiteness and the destructive, unsustainable system of capitalism is behind all the woes. We can keep talking about all the things but that remains the root folks refuse to dig up 🤷🏾‍♀️
