Not an OG Just a G

bell hooks, @wilgafney.bsky.social , and other Black women were formative to my thinking, and so I agree with @prisonculture.bsky.social - Folx should actually read and STUDY Black women intellectual's work AND take it seriously.

Just this week:

Random tariff rates announced again

Firing BLS director over bad jobs numbers

Trump removed from Smithsonian exhibit on impeachment

CPB announces its demise

Ghislaine Maxwell moved to minimum security

President exempted from proposed ban on stock trading

I named mine Rachav as a pun on Roomba and a broad spacious room.

Important paragraph in here: faith groups have been vocally critical of Israel's recent actions in Gaza since it began, but the ELCA has joined a growing number of Christian denominations that are specifically describing it as a genocide.

Earlier this week, a global group of Quakers did the same.

Last day in paradise. Apparently making the most of it. If this is what happens with one mimosa…

As with HC I I see a constellation of all of these issues. I am not ready to say that black women are unelectable. She had so much against her from the start and then all of the administration's baggage. And then her own full throated embrace of the Biden/Netanyahu talking points.

Sister, I am speaking up on and off these platforms and, I am providing support. I cannot do so through these apps you are not forgotten.

Absolutely gutted. #SayTheirNames

Her name will always be on it and she is responsible for the words that came out of her mouth. Biden's culpability is a separate issue as is the disparity in power. None of which erases her own moral culpability.

Yeah. But the dismount is still chefs kiss.

It is AI.

This is really wild. I thought this was well known, Nat Geo special territory.

That dismount is 9/10.

Harris can't run for dog catcher because her administration armed the forced starvation of Gaza and denied the genocide, parroting the talking points of Netanyahu, discounting the numbers of starving, malnourished and dead from the very beginning.

Elites and institutions have not “collapsed.” They have not “changed their tunes.” They have not “failed.” They are not “cowards.”

They were and are simply been focused only on their own self-preservation and profit.

Nothing has changed. They simply made a cost benefit analysis, and fascism wins.

What constitutes an allegation? Are we at the university level of that lecture made me feel bad or that students comment said my ancestors did bad things?

Bishop Cherry Vann.

New Archbishop of Wales: our own Bishop of Monmouth, Cherry Vann. Very exciting. May she do across Wales what she’s done for Monmouth.

Nueva Arzobispa de Gales: nuestra propia Obispa de Monmouth, Cherry Vann. Que realice por todo Gales lo que ha realizado en Monmouth.

It should not be surprising that these universities are selling trans women and academic freedom because they all sold people at their founding. They are just playing true to type.

Just gonna pull this nugget from the Brown wiki entry:

"In 2014, Brown tied with the University of Connecticut for the highest number of reported rapes in the nation, with its "total of reports of rape" on their main campus standing at 43"

the university will not provide gender affirming care to minors

brown runs a HUGE proportion of all medical services in the state. this presumably applies to brown university's health services broadly. this could cut off a lot of children with no real affiliation with the university

"Reports." Like reports of bias against white men. Students give lower evaluation for black folk and black women. Course evaluation have always been popularity contests and darn useless as assessment tools.

From a friend and NJ advocate on Cory Booker's recent speeches. The things you don't get to see in press releases and floor drama.

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS. If you are upset about a female Jem'Hadar in the 32nd Century, you understood the Jem'Hadar storyline like a Pakled. This is the logical progression from where we left them & the Dominion. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. #StarTrek #Sisko197

When I see a white woman going full Bo Derek or a white man with his hair cornrowed up into a man bun, it does not bother me. I celebrate the sista who's making money off of that.

Justin Jones was there to represent his constituents. He was not permitted into an event, showcasing a state sponsored project.

Justin Jones, a state lawmaker, was kept outside the event for no reason other than he is black,

Banned from an event in the district he was elected by the people of that district to represent. Local government only exist to prop up authorize policies coming down from the top.

On Wednesday night during a concert at a Nashville-area church, she made a phone call to Republican senator Bill Hagerty's office on speakerphone. She left a voicemail. "Hi, Senator Hagerty, hi, this is Amy Grant," she said. "I'm standing on stage singing to over a thousand people, and I wanted to speak on behalf of all of us to say that President Trump's budget suggests that funding for PEPFAR should be cut by 50 percent this year. We want you to know that here in Nashville we want to see full funding of PEPFAR so we can stay on track to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030."

“Hi, Senator Hagerty, hi, this is Amy Grant,” she said. “I’m standing on stage singing to over a thousand people … We want you to know that here in Nashville we want to see full funding of PEPFAR so we can stay on track to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030.” www.christianitytoday.com/2025/06/amy-...

Thank you. There are about a dozen rhinestone headed hair pins in there.

Thank you!
