I get it, teenagers are scary

Don’t be silly! All you have to do is stop worrying about reporting abuse (just accusations, whatever happened to Due Process!), taking care of minorities (build that wall!), worrying about LGBTQIA students (they just want to force us to participate in their perversions!), special needs students (they just want…

I saw someone on FB post:

Well ... society is composed of individuals. If you claim to care I’m not sure you can pass the buck like that. There is plenty you can do.

K, but Chicago’s grieving mothers have organized and having been putting in the work to get guns out of the hands of gangs in the city.

Damon, my friend, free your soul from the fear of crying. Sit down and watch the Memphis episode of This is Us, if you get through that without ugly crying while sliding down a wall, you will survive any tear inducing antics brought to you via TV or the Movies.

I want to buy/support Chobani for its social stances & for the fact that they hire refugees from war-torn countries, but it’s just too runny for me. Much prefer Fage.

My friend said that she is going to rename her va-jay-jay Wakanda so Killmonger will terrorize it.

Holy shit yes. Their version of the former “Man-Ape” and the Jabari in general is fucking rad as hell. He has an awesome look, and the general portrayal really does a great job of replacing a racist caricature with a really cool Neo-Luddite thing crossedwith some kind of African modernist aesthetic in the Jabari…

I pray that he does go full Donald and those kids eat his ass up like catfish at the church fish fry. Our problem has been that no one has been willing to go in on that fool the way God has intended. It’s time and long overdue. If it’s kids that get gully with that motherfucker, oh well, the adults have had more than…

I think he’ll have them all vetted, pick out the MAGA ones for the meeting, and lap up the applause. Or hell, he’ll just hire fake students.

Winfrey/Obama 2020.

This is a microcosm of america, right?

Look at the message the NFL sent Kaepernick and others: if you express a political opinion we don’t like

My boys, baby and I skipped school today and saw the first showing at 10am. Theater was packed. My heart soared several times because, finally, I was watching a movie, not about pimps, hoes, slavery or drugs, but one were my 5 year olds cheered for heroes and booed villians that looked just like them. They saw a woman…

I’ve been talking about the movie all day today (forgetting I actually have to do work at work). There’s the initial beauty of the movie. The well written dialogue. The representation of not just black actors/actresses but especially darker skinned actors/actresses. But there are just so many themes that the movie…

As a former (white) teacher, I’m not going to presume to ride anyone for not going into the profession: while it’s wonderful, the US treats its teachers abominably, particularly those who serve in poor neighborhoods. (One of my first ed school profs was black and he told us how his mother, also a teacher, cried when…

I’m working with an org trying to do a push-out for Montessori schools to be in every community and at every meeting I say I will continue to work hard at this but only if we are recruiting and training and supporting more teachers of color, specifically more black teachers. It’s my soapbox and I’m standing on it.

As true as that is, there’s a lot more to what happened there than that. He’s trying to specifically criminalize and accuse of treason not just people who don’t kowtow to him, but he’s also trying to racialize the criminalization.

It’s his job to explain to his wife why what she’s been doing and continues to do is not only wrong, it’s hurtful, to black women.
