So the orange FOTUS’ administration identified words that are “woke” in federal docs. The articles say he did it but we know the felon of the U.S. can’t read. Anyway this list is hilarious because the people that use “woke” the most (and usually misuse it) are all specifically included in this list

My 16yr old literally bothers no one. He’s quiet and minds his business. But on the first day of Black History Month he’s had to experience unprovoked racism and bullying. Today he learned what it is like to be Black in this country thanks to Caiden of Oakleaf High School in Orange Park FL.

I moved to Florida in 2009 bc I didn’t want to deal with snow and cold weather. I’ve sacrificed peace of mind with this aashole governor in exchange for the weather. WTH is this snow? All the blue states I like are cold asf. But they have peace of mind. I def played myself.

I keep seeing these videos about cattlers who voted for orange saying more than half of their workforce is immigrants. They said they will shut down in 2 days. There will be a shortage of milk. Bc of supply and demand, the price of milk is going to skyrocket. But sure your eggs were too expensive.

If you are a Black reader and you are on TikTok live talmbout that Yarros book, Imma block you. And while we are here. If you show up on my feed, Imma look at your content before I follow. And if I see SJM, I’m also going to block you.

Listen Imma hold your hand when I say this and it’s going to sting. If you were following the POTUS or VP accounts on Instagram, you are now following Musty’s First Lady and the third in command. They switched the accounts over and you’re following them now. Scared the hell out of me.

I’m reading an ARC that’s really good. But wtf does a “cackle” sound like? Twice on one page a character “cackled”. Never in the history of ever have I heard someone cackle. Chuckle? Yes. Cackle? No. Explain the sound to me like I’m five.

In honor of #booktok, what is a book you found because of Booktok that ended up being a 5⭐️? Mine was Fast x @milliebelizaire.bsky.social. That book broke me down only to build me back up again. It evolved from trauma into a beautiful HEA. A story of survival and winning in spite of.

In honor of #booktok, what is a book you found because of Booktok that ended up being a 5⭐️ read? Mine was The Blood Trials by @niadavenport.bsky.social I still think about this duology about once a week and it stays in my #1 spot for all time fav reads #booksky #Blackbooksky 📚🪐 💙

For the people who are saying Musty did not do what we all saw him do, I urge you to do it yourself. Do it at work. Do it at the grocery store. Do it at sporting events. Do it in your online videos. Do it all the time. Let us see you do it. Every single chance you get.

If you are a Black book influencer and your Top 5 of your 2024 reads does not have a single Black author, I’m blocking you. Immediately. Anyway…who in the Black book community joined this public directory and the companion private member only platform? #BlackBookSky #Booksky
