Aggressive reminder marginalized communities in red states are working their ASSES off to make these flips happen. Through egregious gerrymandering and all. Do not fix your mouths to bash these states tonight because YOU live somewhere else.

Let’s be so clear. Angie Nixon lost because establishment Democrats & the DNC systemically failed to support her campaign in meaningful ways. This was not by accident, it was extremely purposeful & they do this constantly with Black politicians who have a spine for Palestine

Do you remember when radio stations used to give away concert tickets and backstage passes? | just heard a midday radio giveaway, and now the prizes are groceries, a year of gas, or rent paid. It's a strange reminder that survival has become the prize. That's pretty sad.

Everyone keeps calling it a cost of living crisis.
But when companies keep raising prices while reporting record profits, maybe we should start calling it what it really feels like:
a cost of greed crisis.

I deeply saddened to hear the Academy of Natural Sciences museum, the oldest natural history museum in America, will be shutting its doors for good at the end of the month. A massive loss to both the scientific and local communities

I think Raven-Symoné’s real issue is that the exact demographic of Black people she tries so hard to distance herself from are the same people who saw themselves the most in Raven Baxter. And THAT is the part she can’t stand. Which makes it even more confusing because those same Black people are a huge part of why Raven became as famous and culturally relevant as she is.

The humbling truth about Earth: We’re not powerful enough to destroy the planet.
We’re only powerful enough to make it unlivable for ourselves.
The intent wasn't good parenting, it was conditioning for him to wear the ring.

Your relationship with yourself cannot be built entirely around improvement. At some point, you have to become someone you are allowed to enjoy being. You get to be proud of who you are. Present tense.

Huh?
This was actually a kiddie hairstyle before adults started wearing it. I’m pretty sure we can find a Just For Me perm box with a little girl wearing this exact hairstyle.

Maya Angelou was so right. In most situations, “You are not in it.” What she meant was, that person would have acted that way, with or without you. So stop asking why did they do me like this. It’s not you babe. It’s who they are.
"I don't like this ad."
"I don't like this ad."
"I don't like this ad."
"I don't like this ad."
"I don't like this ad."
I can do this all day, Mr. Foulness.

There are more professional black people with Locs right now than any other time in history. Black people used to talk about Locs in the exact same way that yall are discussing bonnets and durags.
Bonnets are the new tignon? In professional settings, I'm still investigating how I feel, but running errands, I don't care. Now if you look intentional and match/coordinate/style the bonnet with the outfit, that's acceptable to me.
During this rest stop and respawn point in my life, I also linked how I understand God's plan to scientific evidence.
I have some things to say:
1. Defeat the algo. As well as following your interest, lean into those quirky niche videos you're drawn to. Carpet cleaning, silicone mixing, lawn cutting, wedding dress cleaning. Investigate why you're drawn to it. Your algo can help you grow.
Since the Yale acct chills in my subconscious, I listened to an AITA wedding dress story (hence point 2) that I, again, woulda never did before, but the internal work I have been doing allowed me to actually question why wearing white is such a faux paux, and can we level up
