I work today, so I can't post as frequently. Pls don't let my lack of constant posting = forgetting abt my housing funder!

If you can give, pls give. If you don't, pls repost/boost widely. As Alyssum says, that's like an indirect gift b/c your post will reach someone who can give directly!

If you're not about GFM, OK. Here are two other options to help:

Venmo: @TheJunctureX
CashApp: $TheJunctureX

And, as you've seen, small donations add up, fam! I'm sure you want to give a huge amount to help; I get it! But if you only have $5 to give, that = appreciated, too! And pls boost!!

Let's keep it up, fam, so Alyssum can thrive not just survive, fam!

Ever since I learned the word the other day, every piece of news has me resisting the urge to yell “I HATE LIVING IN A KAKISTOCRACY”

I really feel so bad for Taylor Swift. Her and Megan Thee Stallion have been targets for AI generated revenge porn since the shit became part of the mainstream zeitgeist and it just seems inescapable now. It’s DISGUSTING

The Polari book prize Longlist, with no books withdrawn by authors.

Keeping track of people withdrawing from the Polari Prize Longlist over the inclusion of proud self-described "TERF" John Boyne.

Let me know as we get updates on authors pulling their books in protest.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

I agree. But I'm gonna say this: some of the 92% are moving like "g" in lasagna...and I'll leave it at that. Some are having big intraracial discussions in terms of keeping and scaling the Black dollar w/in the community. And, yeah, some are doing nothing but being in denial.

A 💐 of gratitude to you, luv!!!

To me, quite a few people are in denial that it can happen; thus, the lack of acknowledging that reality. I get it--it's a survival tactic.

But b/t what you so perceptively wrote and the drive to more fully get rid of birthright citizenship, it = set to corral us n2 those jobs.

People with means still sign checks and contracts. Many of us write exclusively in cursive. Land deeds, our Constitution, and other written independence papers, all in cursive.

Pretty dangerous to lose the ability to read those.

It’s only a dead art for the people they don’t want to use it.

A neo-Nazi group inspired by Donald Trump's rhetoric is expanding its reach and reshaping white extremism in America. At the helm is a Texas couple, both born to Ku Klux Klan leaders reut.rs/4ftv4ne

And now bomb threats. Let’s call this what it is: an attempted coup.

On Martha's Vineyard, Black filmmakers are in the spotlight At the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival, Black artistry is on display. NPR critic Eric Deggans says it's cultivating a community.

Spent several days at Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival and found inspiration in a place where Black culture was celebrated and diversity wasn’t tree wanted as a dirty word, watching work by Slick Rick, Lil Rel Howery and Girlfriends creator Mara Brock Akil. READ: loom.ly/-GX-qCk

Don’t. Do not. Do literally anything other than this. See a licensed therapist. Get a plant. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Shitpost 24 hours a day on Bluesky. Anything but this.

Maryland back to school supplies and giveaways 👇🏽

Boom.

"This administration wants to reshape society so that Black women no longer serve a function unless it is to serve white-bodied people."

Been feeling this way ever since 🟠🤡 got into office both times, esp. this time. Pls read the rest of the post, and pls leave a tip or subscribe, if you can!

A $200 million ballroom, and now this. He doesn’t ever plan on leaving.

And the sports betting crew who like to go to baseball games and insult players dead mothers.

All of them! For life.

Man it’s polished and animated and when I tell you it’s dangerous! I watched one with Frederick Douglas and it was rationalizing slavery and how Black people waited to get freedom as a joint effort. It’s perversion of history.
