Thank you for focusing on celebrating his life. I have had to drag so many people spreading “blood sacrifice” and “gov’t distraction” nonsense ever since the news was made public.

It may be okay for us to cry, but it is not okay for you to sit all these chopped-onions disguised as words in front of us! Yeah, that’s what all this teariness is. Just chopped onions.

I think for Black and Disabled folks he definitely means a lot to us but not for the reasons that some of these able-bodied people are associating him with. Pepperidge Farm remembers when people had no problem calling him “Crack Panther” while he was speaking out about C-19 earlier this year because of his appearance…

Frederick Douglass was also the descendant of a slave owner, as were many other AfAms here in the Union, and plenty of us can literally trace part of our ancestry back to some gross act a slaveowner engaged in with one of the enslaved Africans they controlled, most infamously Sally Hemings’ descendants. That shyt…

You mean North Carolina? Come to think of it, this country is a bit of a shythole. Terrible healthcare, people willing to let children be murdered in schools rather than implement gun control, politicians craving a chance to turn it into a theocracy, rampant systemic racism, sexism, and settler colonialism, not to…

I have my beefs with some of her policies, but she was definitely the best and smartest choice given the current climate. We are definitely going to party over this in the Carib. I’ll order extra ox-tails.

Thoroughly looking forward to this film.

I never really bought into the “kings” and “queens” schtick, but I did buy into the very romanticized idea that we were all just captured or that rival kingdoms during a turbulent period of expansionism somehow miraculously didn’t devalue us. I think it was Hurston’s own research as well as her interview with Kossula -…

I’m tired of people pretending they care about the Disabled and/or Neurodiverse - especially the Black Disabled and/or Neurodiverse - when they’re famous. You guys wrote a wholeass thinkpiece about Coonye but haven’t so much as said d!ck about Michael Hickson for months now, let alone Regis Korchinski-Paquet. Based on…

Happy to see you left Kanye’s disability out of this piece and focused on other areas of his foolishness. Black folks who are disabled need to be the ones starting that discussion and too many able-bodied skinfolk ignore that.

And of course, his commentary on Ture’s influence and decision to pit the two against each other like they were enemies in competition because of their differences politically is not only racist but ahistorical. 

I had the smoke for several non-Black Latin@s who tried to say we weren’t “Latin@” because we were “slaves” so we were “different”.

People generally pronounce it that way, yeah.

Anti-Blackness isn’t limited to a political ideology.

These were regular degular internet trolls, not some political bloc. Videos of the that internet challenge after Kenneka Jenkins was murdered were all over FB and I think Twitter as well.

This genuinely frustrated and triggered me. Just knowing people were literally making jokes about her and spreading gross rumors reminded me of when people decided to literally make an “internet challenge” mocking the murder of a Black woman a few years ago. 

Mawuga be a fence... They’re Nazis. 

It’s going on a month and y’all still haven’t reported on Michael Hickson. Do only able-bodied and neurotypical Black lives matter to y’all?

I can’t wait until both he and Biden get theirs. 

Third gender Two Spirit (and yes, I actually have Native heritage). Lev’s experiences and convictions really spoke to me. I think at the end of the day, arguments about the world in which Lev exists overlooks that the society before it held the same biases culturally. They didn’t magically disappear. We still have…
