What we fail to consider… “knowing the questions” is a function of training… training requires … education

How come people who don't celebrate things always have to tell us they don't celebrate things when nobody asked?

I’m so over Kori #DragRace . Don’t care if she’s a ki on social media. On the show where she’s competing, she grates.

The #AppleCiderVinegar series on Netflix is really well done. I was so happy to see that it takes a zoomed out approach to Belle Gibson by focusing on the ✌🏾 wellness ✌🏾 industry . There’s more stuff, too. I may write about this for MNOF Substack

I finally watched Emilia Perez. I can see how it’s polarizing. The story’s interesting but the musical aspect detracts rather than enhances.

Every time someone talks about Killmonger being right, I think about how he shot his girlfriend in the head, choked out a Black female elder in a power grab, and the only change he wanted was to put a Black face on white nonsense. 🤢
