What part of FAFO is this?

What happened to basic manners?!

In the last week:
I had stomach issues
Someone spit their drink on me (seriously?!)
Today, a student coughed without covering their mouth;
Now my throat is starting to feel scratchy. WHY?! Y’all, cover your mouths when you cough and sneeze! It’s not hard!

They will never happen.

I will always celebrate Black History Month!

Also, Snoop, Nelly I'm just disappointed.

Feeling a bit melancholy today. I am choosing to honorDr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s today—his life is a reminder of the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead. Reflecting on the weight of these moments and the dreams that continue to push us forward.

Why Kwanzaa Is Great (Gift Article) There’s something uniquely American in both its wanton borrowing from existing tradition and its naked admission of artificiality.

"Rooted in sometimes artful but often ham-handed borrowing of various African traditions, the holiday is one of the many bridges Black Americans tried to build between themselves and the African homeland of their imagination."

Defunding Dissent Philanthropists have quietly withdrawn funding from grassroots groups that spoke out for Gaza, imperiling a broad range of social justice movements.

"Referring to donors who had walked away, N’sangou said, “I think that they just absolutely never did mean that Black lives matter. They were willing to use it for their political gain, and it makes me sick."
