I hope everyone here joins the global social media break from 8/1-7. Even if you don’t do it for the reason the organizers planned, it’ll be great for your brain and nervous system health. We can play outside or catch up on some reading. Maybe have a few meals with friends at home or something.

I will always say Black psychology allied with Black history are the forefront of my reading material. We have to know what happened in the past, that affects today that we can make change for tomorrow. And it is imperative to work on our minds and decolonise and reclaim & realign ourselves daily.

My love for Black people is unbounded. We live in a world where deep, unbridled love for ourselves is seen as "racist" and is intimidating to fragile minds & psyches who are threatened by a world that does not centre them.

a gentle reminder: people are allowed to like things you don’t. they’re allowed to enjoy things you don’t understand. they’re allowed to want a life that looks different from yours. you’ll be a lot happier once you accept that.

"What can you teach me?" Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series (1990) #art #Blackart

Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series (1990)

A black and white photograph of a woman sitting down at a dining table looking into a tabletop mirror while a man wearing a hat, suit and tie leans over her shoulder intimately. There is a bottle of liquor, glasses, and a few other things on the table and there is a single hanging light hanging above.

She'd been pickin em up and layin em down, moving to the next town for a while, needing a rest, some moss under her feet, plus a solid man who enjoyed a good fight with a brave woman. She needed a man who didn't mind her bodacious manner, varied talents, hard laughter, multiple opinions, and her hopes were getting slender.

He had great big eyes like diamonds and his teeth shined just like gold, some reason a lot of women didn't want him, but he satisfied their souls. He needed a woman who didn't mind stepping down from the shade of the veranda, a woman capable of taking up the shaft of a plough and throwing down with him side by side.

They met in the glistening twinkling crystal light of August/September sky. They were both educated, corn-fed-healthy-Mississippi-stock folk. Both loved fried fish, greens, blues, jazz and Carmen Jones. He was an unhardened man of the world. She'd been around the block more than once herself, wasn't a tough cookie, but a full grown woman for sure.

Looking her up, down, sideways he said, "So tell me baby, what do you know about this great big world of ours?" Smiling she said, "Not a damn thang sugar. I don't mind telling you my life's not been sheltered from the cold and I've not always seen the forest or smelled the coffee, played momma to more men than I care to remember. Consequently I've made several wrong turns, but with conviction I can tell you I'm nobody's fool. So a better question might be: what can you teach me?"

He wasn't sure, confessing he didn't have a handle on this thing called life either. But he was definitely in a mood for love. Together they were falling for that ole black magic. In that moment it seemed a match made in heaven. They walked, not hand in hand, but rather side by side in the twinkle of August/September sky, looking sidelong at one another, thanking their lucky stars with fingers crossed.

She felt monogamy had a place but invested it with little value. It was a system based on private property, an order defying human nature. Personally she wasn't in the mood for exploring new rocky terrain. But nonetheless assured him she was secure enough in herself and their love to allow him space to taste the exotic fruits produced in such abundance by mother nature.

He was grateful for such generosity. He certainly knew the breadth of his own nature, so felt human nature was often in need of social control. For now he chose self-sacrifice for the long term benefits of her love and their relationship. Testing the strength of the relationship in this way was a dangerous game; taking a chance now might be more than either of them bargained for.

Really enjoyed watching this. Reminded me that I recently saw "Negro Sunshine" and loved it. #art #Blackart

Lights mounted on a white wall saying "Negro Sunshine". There are black cords hanging down to power boxes on the floor.
