I’ve noticed that with every killing of an unarmed black person, there are white folks who decide that they want to “fight racism.”
I’m not here tryna kill your vibe, I’m happy you’re here, but it’s also time for some honesty. So let’s sit down and have a chat.

When I was 14, my mom said I should NOT wait until marriage to have sex —I didn’t even need to wait for love. Her advice was to only have sex with people who respected me. I don’t have a punchline, I just think if more moms said this to their daughters life would be easier.

Constantly checking my own biases and how I speak about subjects whilst checking my privileges. Leading and living by example. Answering questions honestly and without fear whilst acknowledging that I have so much more to learn than I know and that I’m not perfect.
Question for the white folks on my tl:

He’s just going to blame whoever hacked his account for as long as someone listens instead of owning his shitty actions and being accountable.
Go rot in Siberia.

Black people in the UK are four times more likely to die from Covid-19 than white people and a number of other ethnic groups are also at an increased risk, according to new data. cnn.it/3fwkhsT
I started looking up how to say “Ghost Town” in Blackfoot. Turns out there isn’t a word for it that I could find quickly (if anyone wanted to educate me on that) BUT maybe we should change the name of Calgary to:
‘Stá’aoaakáítapissko’ or ‘Spirit Town’

Give a poor person $2,000, and it's instantly recirculated into the economy when they need to buy necessities.
Give a large company $2,000, and they'll store it offshore, say they have no more money, and ask for another $2,000.
I mean... wasn’t the goal ‘overreaction’ because otherwise the result would be horrific loss of life and crippling of our public healthcare system... oh I guess that’s what you wanted...
“Once this gets analyzed in retrospect I think people will feel that the governments overreacted in that respect,” said Preston Manning about COVID-19 economic aid measures. "The issue for the future is to get on with economic recovery measures just as fast as it can be done."
