Run the Jewels featuring Zack de la Rocha and Pharrell said it well.

They are, they really are. My way of having my cake and eating it too was to check out their cookbooks like 5 or 6 times over the past three years, because I didn’t want to go to their site because of ad revenue. I liked flipping through the cookbooks and sighing contentedly, imagining making some of their recipes.

And if you don’t do it in the name of Tip, do it in the name of Rayshard and all the rest of the people who died at the hands of the police.

Yeah, that is super unappealing. In winter, it would be cold metal when I first get into bed, and I wouldn’t want to rest my knee on a zipper pull during certain positions.

I agree with everything you wrote.

Yep, and that bolsters my misgivings about what social media has done to activism. Pics or it didn’t happen led to “perform it, or you’re canceled.”

Very respectfully, and put forth as a person who would not piss on 45 if he was on fire, since the US is a federalist nation, there wouldn’t be a national public health response. The police powers of public health are concentrated in state and local governments, and the federal government’s role in public health is to…

I feel every bit of this with all of my guts, and I say that as a person who’s very beloved dad has cancer, and underwent a procedure in October that wiped out all of his vaccinations and is not cleared yet to get re-vaccinated for anything at all. It really is time for America to reset, and this ghoulish nightmare…

Thanks for the genuine lol.

It’s 2020—a pledge and a post on Facebook won’t cut it anymore.

I did not know Walmart does this, but it does help explain why I get irrationally grouchy any time I need to shop at a Walmart. It is without fail when I am making something sweet for a funeral and my list is like disposable baking pan, some ingredient I don’t keep on hand like buttermilk or almond extract, and then…

Thought about this for awhile, and I think the backlash is that this was the best R29 came up with in an attempt to pivot to anti-racist content. And their best was a meet-cute at a protest of state-sponsored murders.

Thank you for that.

When she’s good, she’s really good. When she’s bad, she’s even better.

The visuals made me feel like I was in the world Colson Whitehead (a favorite author of Barack) created in his debut novel. 

*goes to Solange’s Twitter*

I really liked his feature with her on “Mad”, which I understand to be about the mental fatigue of Black people living with institutionalized racism, but now that I look back at his lyrics, he is just talking about his “mass account” and walking into the bank with pants sagging. There is…

Oops I got my wording out of order. We were dating, split up for about a year and a half, got back together, and we’ve been married for about three years now, and bought a house last fall.

Elmo is a better dancer than my husband.
Notice I did not say better than meeeeeee

Did the same thing with my ex. Three years into a happy marriage. We split up for about 1 1/2 years.

Maybe saving people a few clicks.
Deadnaming occurs when someone, intentionally or not, refers to a person who’s transgender by the name they used before they transitioned. You may also hear it described as referring to someone by their “birth name” or their “given name.”
