liberal white people are socially conditioned to deliciously consume Black pain and Black tragedy. As if Black people are the ones who need help. no, white people need help. you cannot commit 500 years of atrocity and then look at Black people as the dysfunctional group.

Why the Internet Drains Us: Understanding the Negativity Loop The eerie feeling that negativity spreads faster than kindness on the web is no longer a sense, it is a reality, but who is guilty ?

The Court’s Liberals Are Trying to Tell Americans Something Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor aren’t merely disagreeing with the majority’s technical readings of the law.

"The three liberal justices are writing about a majority unbound by law and its tiresome technicalities—about a majority that is no longer doing law as that term has come to be understood."

Six months ago I published my debut collection of essays, about coming of age in the Y2K era and the disappointment I’ve felt since. Here’s an excerpt at @slate.com about my 5th grade Y2K time capsule letter, my beloved silver inflatable chair, Aaliyah, and getting old slate.com/life/2024/12...

"I have them on the BAHDY system"

This world is so diabolically unserious. Doing my writing and art feels hard and hopeless...

Imagine hating Black people so much that you study our every political move to do the exact opposite—and on top of that, you’re willing to burn the whole country down so that if you don’t benefit, no one does.

Today is July 3, 2025. It’s still 6:41 P.M. Gaza time. Since the early hours of the morning, Israel murdered 87 people, 38 of whom while seeking aid.
