Literacy Crisis… This is what it looks like to only hear words (if that) and never see or read them.

Two objective facts. The Wire. Hands down, no competition.
Breaking Bad is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be. You go back and rewatch it now and it’s an absolute slog to get through. And The Wire is the greatest television show of all time, not just of the 21st century.
This keeps people where they don't belong. If you're not their type, you'll be confused about where you stand, the relationship. They'll keep you around until they meet their type.
Are you your types type?
the CBC needs to take their funky ass degrees and their Nissan Maximas and their shitty fraternity and sororities and their Black excellence and throw them in the fucking bin and elevate Black people who want to actually help Black people instead of seeing Blackness as a burden. #Blacksky
Real talk, rejection never really phased me. I've always carried myself like I'm not gonna be everyone's favorite fruit while knowing my flavor is elite. So when I found the ones that liked what I had to offer I made sure to love her peaches and shake her tree thoroughly.
We celebrate and reward terrible people.
We let terrible people feel too comfortable.
to borrow from Dr. Melina Abdullah, does the CBC want prestige, or does it want power? do they merely want to have a conference where they can put Black faces in front of white supremacist logos and talk about Black excellence, or do they want to wield power to make things better for Black people?
Every member of the CBC including the ones you like should be fucking ashamed of themselves. I get it, Palantir handed y'all a bag of cash and that's all you motherfuckers can be arsed to give a shit about nowadays, but John Lewis is turning over in his grave right now over this. Y'all suck.
I can’t pick a favorite post out of this thread. These politicians are playing in our faces, & I wish more of us would recognize that. All that “representation” & “Black excellence” means nothing in the long run.
If the Congressional Black Caucus is going to ally with Peter Thiel, a christofascist white supremacist with delusions of grandeur, if it is not going to stand ten toes down against the plague of anti-Blackness destroying the nation, then what's the point of these niggas even hanging out? #Blacksky
Being black and not liking sweet potato pie makes me believe your grandmother is a millennial and still in the clubs.
If you're wondering why you are seeing a lot more AI flyers and art from nonprofits over the past few years, it's because nonprofits are barely hanging on financially. Folks are having to lay off staff and can barely keep the lights on.

The right always talmbout strength and masculinity, while I have never seen a bigger group of bitches in all my days—from your leader down to the last voter Fuck all y’all
A few weeks ago, my oldest Goddaughter got engaged. We're all very happy for the couple. She sent me a very lovely handwritten note last month. One part I will share is that she wrote: "Thank you for teaching me that a man is not a plan." I laughed for two days because YES that is a KEY LIFE LESSON.
ALSO. If you do an absentee ballot, mailing it is NOT your only option. I get mine and then hand deliver it to the polling to save some time and it’s prevented issues. Not saying one method is better than the other, but it’s been easier for me and many people aren’t aware you can do this.
IDC about your feelings on voting if you are one of the 90 MILLION non-voters that helped to get us here. The people who know better, will not be dissuaded.✌🏾
(and bc ik how folks get on this app… a disclaimer, I don’t care how you feel about voting. I have always been and will always be vocal about exercising the right to vote. Especially now. 🫶🏾)
Please keep up with your voter registration deadlines as we approach #midterms! Decide if you’re doing in-person or absentee, read up on what you need to know in the event of some bullshit (bc you know it’s coming), research candidates, etc.
