946 Americans died of COVlD last week in just 31 states that reported. Extrapolating to 50 states, that’s 1,525 people. Everyone keeps saying we have to “live with the virus”, but thousands each week don’t get the opportunity to do so.

For a lot of y’all that plastic has been ripped off for years and you still acting brand new. If you BEEN having these types of engages you are not included in the *sometimes* you are a signed, sealed and stamped manipulator.

[5hahem @shaTIRED]

therapist here, this can *sometimes* be the result of sealioning aka asking someone questions, requesting evidence while pretending l to be unaware of the issue. often done by people to manipulate their way out of accountability for their actions

Therapy can work if you can survive the violating systems of clinical practice and the systems of insurance and billing that make accessing those practices consistently and with grace and patience almost impossible. 2/2

People deserve to experience modalities of healing beyond those under state supervision and licensing. The fundamental education of which is still heavily dependent settler ideology of colonialism and eugenics. 1/2

Y’all the respectable negro has entered the chat, he ain’t like the rest of us, give him some space to get his shit off.

[Booker G. Washington @BookerGWash]

One day y’all will realize that being loud, country, and ratchet all the time in every setting is not the standard of authenticity.

You are not an ally if you only believe in the abolition of race, gender, sexuality and identity politics in theory only.

If the abolition of those oppressive systems does not show up in the practice of your lived experience you are not supporting anything but the status quo.

Truly no shade to the workers, getting their bag with online cohorts, vacation destination retreats and other digital products and ceremonies. But I need y’all to understand that more questions and concerns are warranted when none of “work” happens in the place you actually live.

I’ll always argue that not only do academic institutions not deserve access or proximity to radical works of re-engineering and re-imagination but I’ll go further to say that they don’t possess the resources or insensitive to support or sustain these works or those creating it.

As a collective we gotta learn to stop being so resentful over things no one actually asked you to do. Turning yourself into a martyr was never apart of “doing the work”.

[Brian Suryah (Parody Account) @suryahstudio]

that itself is just another cycle of semantics in confronting our nurturing. It’s unfamiliar and destabilizing confronting these colonial relics and when the words are unable to satisfy their utility of explanation and validation we react from the place everything we deny lives.

[Brian Suryah (Parody Account) @suryahstudio]

I think we are at a weird intersection where we understand and explore non traditional practices within our personal identities our relationships, domesticity and beyond but the language of a system in a cycle of change keeps us at a pain point of discourse..

So I made a video yesterday saying that pointing to mental illness as the root of all problems is violence as it criminalizes Black people for having mental illness and you’ll never guess what happened next.

Arguably the best monologue performed on American television.

[vids that go hard @vidsthatgohard]

Regina King voicing Huey AND Riley was something special

[Brian Suryah (Parody Account) @suryahstudio]

Y’all only care about “problematic” and “abusive” public figures because it’s an easy victim.

It’s easier to make a public figure lose a job or brand deal than it is to confront the people closes to you who have been abusing you your whole life.

These “mindfulness” tools are not nuclear and need to stop being treated as a catch all fix. Breathe is a crucial piece of a much larger dialogue that happens in work with spirit. It is many different things and should only be used with enthusiastic consent and when most needed.

[alyssa 😬 @lyssazim]

Friendly seasonal reminder for those in healing professions that breathing exercises are *incredibly* dysregulating for a lot of trauma survivors. If breathwork is your go-to teaching tool, you may want to get a few more outwardly focused tools in your arsenal.

No tea No shade but it’s really only slow for the diversity dollar girlies. The ones that’s been building real infrastructure for real business are stable. But the ones that was just in the mix have sunk to the bottom b/c they entire career was white guilt dollars and cents.

[IS THERE A BUDGET? @goldenpolaroid]

This has been the slowest year for black creatives IMO

[Brian Suryah (Parody Account) @suryahstudio]

@myeshxa I know the girlies might think piece me up. But if there’s any situation where your partner is out, having fun, enjoying themselves without you. And you at home mad, or jealous. YOU ARE A HATER. That resentful energy will only get deeper, more mad, more jealous. Get outta there!

*Black* People we’re STOLEN and IMPORTED to this land as THINGS,COMMODITIES and PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Nobody of the trans Atlantic diaspora is occupying stolen land, we are a stolen people, captured and disconnected from the land. Babylon

We don’t owe anyone reparations!
