Had to disable comments on clip of me talking about Jason Arday yesterday on lbc because of sheer volume vile comments suggesting (just as they did with George Floyd) that he ‘deserved’ it. I think Black people are getting pretty sick of the ‘be perfect or expect us to kill you’ routine.

Today is JUNETEENTH x PRIDE. ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈 How far are we going to let Bex fall before we step in to help them? They are NOT EATING because they’re putting everything towards keeping up with their minimum payments on over $100K medical debt just so that they can keep getting care. CAN WE CHIP IN?? NOW??

NSPCC: "If social media becomes something they must conceal, they are less likely to...report inappropriate things they’ve seen and grooming or abuse they may experience." "They’ll stay silent because they fear getting in trouble. That is a gift to abusers, not a safeguard for children."

Our thoughts on the effects potential social media bans could have on young people.

i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities? No? Huh.

fr i place the blame for shit like this on every cishet white person who “just can’t talk politics with aunt gina anymore” & there are no consequences to “gina proposed reinstatement of slavery at thanksgiving” aside from it being awkward til pie. get your houses in order! kick your bigots out!

Personally, I wish a certain demographic would just stop using the term. “Woke” is doing just fine within it’s community of origin It’s being absolutely butchered, misused and ran through in others. But then again, that other community always does that with our stuff. Just careless & entitled

I feel the same way with the term "woke". That term has been dumbed down and misused to the point where it doesn't mean anything now. It's nothing but a nonsense term
