black girls are told to avoid sex their whole lives, while also being assault victims at a very young age by men they know, while also being sexualized by the entire society. Then when they’re older y’all tell em the sex they have is an energy transfer that can affect their soul

A tip: if you have no idea how to pronounce someone’s name don’t make it weird or corny or xenophobic by implying that their name is hard to say or that you’re puzzled or even laugh about it. Just say, “Can you say your name for me? I don’t want to mispronounce it.” See? Easy. – at Georgia, USA

And this is coming from someone who adored Chimamanda. My goodness. There's probably not a video of hers I didn't watch before her last gaffe about trans women. I read her works diligently and fawned over everything she touched. It's okay to outgrow your heroes.

This video is disturbing but this is what is happening in Lagos rn
In broad daylight!!!😩💔

Today authorities opened fire on a peaceful protest in Lagos. We are heartbroken at what’s happening in Nigeria, and what the citizens are going through. We are proud of the people of Nigeria for their strength and for fighting against injustice in their community. #EndSARS

Let's be clear about what happened in Nigeria today. The government did not "watch" its citizens get killed. The government planned and carried out a massacre on unarmed citizens. The government was not a bystander. It was the perpetrator. #EndSARS #BuhariResignNow

Yes. And yet we accept it as part of a man's identity - interconnected with the violence of heteronormativity that teaches men to conquer as many women as possible to show their supposed might and worth. All of it is a performance. We take a lot of pain into our graves.

people who are hopelessly romanticizing their return to the African continent w/o being politically committed to engaging wth the margin of power offered to them by virtue of being from a diaspora, really need to start integrating class awareness to their identity politics

There’s no such thing as conservative feminism
New from @DouthatNYT: Amy Coney Barrett is a signifier of a different sort than R.B.G. Can there be a conservative feminism that’s distinctive, coherent and influential, at least beyond quirky religious subcultures like the faculty at Notre Dame? nyti.ms/365CLyh
