Getting solar panels installed today! So excited! 🌞 Of course it's 🌧️, though 😅🤣

White House in a Bind as Soybean Sales to China Plummet to Zero China, the largest buyer of American soybeans, has not purchased a single shipment since May, according to U.S. data.

Yeah, this is sadly a universal thing for Black attorneys

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.

It's wild being a Black person because you never know when any of the non-black people that you know will give you a surprise racism.

They are REALLY trying to bait Black people into taking to the streets.

We won’t fall for it. Our ancestors warned us about this very thing.

Stay woke.

And y'all wonder why Black women say that most white women cannot be trusted when we interact with them.

Example A:

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

As an MH clinician, I'm aware that how people handle grief can look odd, however, this is very disturbing to use Kirk's death like this to market herself to sell her product.

This is sociopathic. You cannot tell me that they didn't use each other for their own benefit when he was alive.

I told yall we’d find out which white people were bout that life and which weren’t yesterday. 🤷🏽‍♀️😬

Racism really is illogical bc how are you threatening HBCUs bc a white man shot another white man at a white rally at a white university in what has GOT TO be one of the top 5 whitest states in the country??? Black people couldn't be further from this if we actually tried.

In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

Telling a Black man in America, a BLACK. MAN. In AMERICA. That they are blind to how things are and that things in America have never been this bad is why everyone needs to shut the fuck up talking to us. I have no niceties or prose for this.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Talking. To. Us.

Black Americans will always find joy even when the world around us is burning.

And where joy can’t be found, we create it.

That’s one thing they keep trying to take from us and it pisses them off that they can’t.

Dr. King got on LBJ’s last nerve because he kept pushing for more *from the outside.*

John Lewis was a *student* when a state trooper cracked his skull open on the Edmund Pettus bridge.

Stop expecting politicians to do the heavy lifting. Movements are won with PEOPLE power.

You're not wrong! 🤭 I like both versions, really, and appreciate that I can switch it up depending on my mood.

I always liked Trisha's better.

Folks, you do not want to find out what happens when Black women face an economic crisis. I promise you, it never ends well for YOU.

The conversations taking place on TikTok are pretty fascinating. One thing that I see across platforms.

Black people are sick of white people acting helpless and/or just trying to post through it.

Double Egg Yolk and Lotus Root Mooncakes are... interesting. It's a different taste, but I like it. House opinion is mixed. Most like it. Neurodivergent kids vibe with the flavor, but hate the texture. Baby just spit it on the floor 🤣 I like sharing new stuff with my family 😀

The Long Kiss Goodnight, Batman Returns, True Lies, Dante's Peak, Ever After, The Mummy

lol hasn't anyone learned that throwing Black women under the bus always backfires. It may not be today. It may not be tomorrow, but that boomerang is coming back FULL force.

Until America deals with its orginal sin... it will never move forward

Welcome to the chaos, white America. Maybe now, with the political mayhem shaking your world, you can catch just a glimpse, a grain of sand on the beach, of what Black people have endured every single day throughout this country’s existence.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

At the end of the Civil War, every person who took up arms with the Confederacy should’ve been jailed or executed.

Their plantations, land and crops should’ve been distributed to the newly freed Black people and their heirs.

Had all this happened, the U.S. would be an unstoppable powerhouse today.

😂😂😂

Finally got around to planting some of my Iris bulbs before it started raining. They were a gift from my Master Gardener classmate. 😊

Now that I've been reminded why I'm on a social media break, let me just leave this thought:

If you ever wonder why Black folks are not doing some societal effort you think is obviously to their benefit, you should know the answer is almost always because historically we've been murdered for that.
