Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Closing out Black History Month with this song.... ❤️🖤💚

A simple rule in the US: if something is beneficial, those with power will take effort to restrict Black folks from getting it.

Healthcare, housing & business loans, water without lead in it, housing that isn't built next to deadly pollution.

So if AI is prevalent what's that say?

While we’re here, can we stop calling these unprecedented times?

I think that plays into the sensationalism and creates an illusion that the solution is up in the air bc we “haven’t been through this” before.

There’s absolutely a solution. It just isn’t peaceful like they “want” you to be.

Joanne Bland, lifelong Civil Rights activist and founder of Selma's Foot Soldiers Park, dies Bland grew up in Selma and became involved in the Civil Rights Movement as a child foot soldier in the 1960s, participating in the historic Selma voting rights marches, including Bloody Sunday.

"By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

This poor woman ☹️

Make no mistake. We know why & we know she won’t be the last one

Just a casual reminder that Mister Rogers NEVER told you to “look for the helpers”. He told BABIES that, so they wouldn’t lose hope in dark times. YOU, ADULT, ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE HELPERS THE BABIES ARE LOOKING FOR. Get your fuckin helmet on and get out there.

Denholm Elliot famously played Coleman the butler in Trading Places

Btw, have you ever even heard the context of what led up to that statement?

Black american data mining is the number one way to know we are the most studied, dissected and observed ethnic group in the world.

Doesnt matter what platform either. This creepy surveying behavior is found everywhere and its not good.

Never answer questions like these. Never provide private info

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

If she was Black, Reagan woulda had a name for that.

Vintage-style “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” graphic featuring the word “Quomodocunquize” with pronunciation and definition (“To make money in any possible way”). At right, a detailed antique engraving shows a weary traveling musician carrying a variety of musical instruments, suggesting hustling or earning money by any means. The background is parchment-toned with ornate Victorian typography.

Quomodocunquize [kwo-mo-do-kun-KWEEZ]
(v.)
- To make money in any possible way.

From Latin “quomodocunque” (in whatever way)

Used in a sentence:
“This gig economy is kicking my butt, I’m out here quomodocunquizing day and night with barely any time to eat or sleep!”
