i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
I turned 18 in 2011. Rent was $425. After work I’d go to the mall with friends and get a whole new outfit for $40. We’d go out that night, drinks were $3 and whole meals were like $7. Wake up next morning & get brunch WITH DRINKS for less than $15. Life is hell now.
I go to war behind this genre of Black classics. I loveeeeeed Drumline, Roll Bounce, Johnson Family Vacation, Dreamgirls, Remember the Titans, The Preachers Wife!
Nothing beats the family friendly Black Classics.
They should bring back the doors for the end of casa amor and make the couples open them to see if their partner is by themselves or if they should say hello to their replacement face to face #LoveIslandUSA
To those asking me if they should watch love island: this shit isn’t for the weak. It’s an hour every day for 6 weeks. It’s a commitment, a marathon, and ur gonna wonder why ur watching this shit but keep at it u will see levels of psychological torture never before seen
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
This week America has shown us that:
1. Black people are not allowed to flee from danger.
and
2. Black people are not allowed to defend themselves against danger.
