Maybe student debtors should rebrand as “depositors” Maybe then the government would bail out the students.

6/ That day was the day I forever understood that Black people are possibly the only thing standing in the way of utter destruction. White folks, even liberal ones, will often fold up their tents and go home when it gets too difficult…

Strippers been telling y’all the recession is coming baby. We are feeling it in the clubs everywhere. You know it’s bad if girls from Miami are coming to New York to work.

One of the most unsettling things about the postcolonial condition is feeling robbed even of your right to remember your history correctly. Decolonisation is also reclaiming our right to remember our histories correctly.

Brene Brown is the Robin D’Angelo of shame & vulnerability & some of yall had a really hard time hearing that - probably in part for the same reason you find Brene and Robin as more palatable messengers of communal knowledge produced by Black and Brown women who came before them

Totally agree. I find it ridiculous the amount of money and gave they receive while not citing or uplifting Black and Brown women.

They got a whole Emmett Till anti-lynching bill but won’t prosecute the person that got him lynched. Make it make sense. They can’t.

Dear Trumpers, Trump picked the FBI director that raided his home. Ok bye.

There is no ‘teacher shortage’. There are thousands of qualified experiences teachers who are no longer teaching. There’s a shortage of respect and proper compensation for teachers allowing them to actually teach.

Why do I share DMs calling me a cunt or commenting on my age and physical appearance or wishing for my death or sexual assault? Because the men who write them work among us at hospitals, as firefighters, in the military. They don’t deserve anonymity if they’re toxic or dangerous.

It’s wild that the decision to tell the truth about the people who tormented you at work is a career risk, but you can stay booked and busy as one of the tormentors

People in your life right now are LGBTQ. Family, friends, lovers, partners, coworkers. You saying “I don’t know anyone like that” just means no one feels safe enough with you to show or tell you they’re queer.

3. Immediately re-hiring after layoffs paints the picture of leadership of what it is: Incompetent. Couldn't even figure out what % of people to lay off.

If you are still wearing a mask in public, I hope you have an amazing week full of care and rest.

Black men! Stop co-signing for R. Kelly and comparing his sentence with what white men have or haven’t received. Stop centering whiteness and be focused on all the BLACK girls and women that he abused actually receiving justice.
