Fly Taurus enchantress, at my own beat since ‘83. Detroiter in all places at all times. Recovering nerd, brilliantly facetious, but if you listen hard enough, I say some things. Just feed me chocolate & diamonds.

…and your congress person doesn’t really care because not only do they have money, but even when they’re out of office they still have great healthcare, an actual pension (with real money) and security. That is the real injustice. Where’s that DOGE cut?

It going to have to be this AND Veterans losing benefits for something to start, but real changes won’t happen unless a lot of people in congress lose checks, healthcare and safety.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Honestly we were too stupid to prevent this. This should NOT be a thing - starting in 2015 - but here we are. Not a soul is coming to save us. If no one ever realized it before, they should definitely know now that we are going to have to save ourselves. The better question is how & how fast.

DC does not have true representation in congress so it’s up to everyone else to stand up for their right to democracy. They’re banking on the rest of the country not caring what happens to the city.

Two legislators introduced an act to end Home Rule last Friday. If you’re unfamiliar, this would take away the rights of people living in DC to have a say in how their city is run by putting its governance in the hands of the feds.

If you have 10 minutes (and you’re in the US) please make some time to contact your congress members and tell them to oppose any legislation that would take away DC’s Home Rule!

This isn’t about corruption .

This is a racist white dude from South Africa believing they should be able to control the worth of “lesser humans” and using corruption to justify intrusive abusive surveillance

He is framing it so when we see they all look the same etc it’s “plausible”

Good Morning Yall, let’s show love to Gloria Richardson, civil rights activist who was a key leader in the Cambridge movement. That movement led to desegregation in all of Maryland in the 60’s. After this Gloria would later move to Harlem and continued to work on civil and economic development.

I still watch episodes of Girlfriends and aspire to Joan (later seasons-especially “It girl” Joan) and Toni’s aesthetic.

If anything, I see/have seen a lot of my personal and professional selves in Insecure, Run the World (definitely in Renee 😂), Harlem and Being Mary Jane.

The bar has to stop being SATC for representation (and designer/style obsessions) when we had Black women centered shoes that had/have it.

As a SATC watcher, I’m glad to say I never wanted a black version of the show because I really didn’t see myself in the characters. Small vestiges, yes but ultimately, never. I never aspired to or want to either.

Just when you think he’s done, he turns it up a notch.
