I'm 59. When I was born, segregation existed, interracial marriage was illegal and women were not allowed to have credit cards in their own names until I was 11 years old. CIVIL RIGHTS ARE A NEW THING.

Joe Biden's age has not negatively affected his job performance, and the alternative is FASCISM. So, just quit the nonsense and get it together. DO NOT HELP FASCISTS.

What is this bullshit I just read about Trump perhaps being under home confinement instead of in prison. FUCK THAT. Stop trying to gaslight people by introducing bullshit to lessen the penalties for this asshole. I don't give one fuck that it hasn't been done before. I don't care what you have to do because of that. JUST DO IT.

Yes, I take it personally when you say you won't vote, or vote for the Dem. Why? Because among other things, the fascists tried to commit a Black GENOCIDE during the pandemic. Your actions or inaction will give them the power to do it again in some other way. My survival depends on them NOT gaining power. So does yours.

I'm going to demystify Black hair for those who don't understand. Hair is hair. The amount of curl is the only difference. Straight hair is oily because natural scalp oil can slide down it. Curly hair is dry because the scalp oil gets trapped in the curl.

"Students at Florida public schools will now learn that Black people benefitted from slavery because it taught them skills. This change is part of the African American history standards the State Board of Education approved at a Wednesday meeting."

*Obviously, I copied the text from the article. Now, the article has changed, so I deleted the second paragraph. It said "...violence perpetrated BY African Americans, it now says "on."

I think we all should brace ourselves for how far this unhinged criminal will go to avoid prison.

Let me repeat myself ONE MORE TIME. I'm a 59 year old BLACK WOMAN. You have a lot of fucking nerve attempting to tell me about the impure Dems. I've been voting ALL MY LIFE for the lesser of TWO evils. This time, you are voting for your OWN FUCKING SURVIVAL. If you don't get that by now, don't talk to me anymore. I'm tired of your privilege to even say SHIT like that out loud.

Apparently, if I say "shut your mouth" to someone who said something insensitive as it applies to racism and they report that, my post will be removed. "Shut your mouth?" REALLY??? I'm offended.

I don't think we should let any of the people who brought this climate catastrophe upon us off the hook. If you can't be held accountable for destroying the planet, wtf can you be held accountable for.

"I want to tell you a black worker is a great worker."

Yeah. This means a lot of things all at the same time coming out of the mouth of a white supremacist. And, all the meanings lead to re enslavement.

At this particular moment in time, I don't give a fuck what you think as long as you vote AGAINST FASCISM. Right now, that means voting Dem.

I went to Walgreens to get a Covid booster and a flu shot. Got the booster, not the flu shot. They wouldn't take my insurance and told me to go to CVS.

Went away to a memorial service for a close friend. Got my kid to stay with the older folks and dog while I was gone. My MIL and father both fell down and had to go to hospital. Father is still there with a small brain bleed. His memory comes and goes. Have a presentation this morning for my new job. Need to go to hospital and go to see my mother to check on her. Ahhh. Life. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Just so you know where we are and understand that they're ALL fucking fascists and they're GOING FOR IT.

"In a stunning reversal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K.Y.) is urging the Senate G.O.P. caucus to vote against the bipartisan border security and foreign defense aid package. It comes after spending weeks helping a bipartisan group of senators craft it, and just hours after he spoke in favor of the legislation."

" There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted," Kennedy said of the virus, according to the Post. "COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately... COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."

This man is a TOTAL FUCKING LUNATIC.

RFK Jr. suggests COVID-19 could have been 'ethnically targeted' to spare Jews

"Because the truth be told, White supremacy is not a mental health issue," Jones said on the House floor. "It is about terrorism, and the shooting that happened in Jacksonville, Florida, was not quote-unquote racially motivated. It was racial terrorism, and until we acknowledge that fact, until we act on that fact, it will continue to happen."

Dear women,

ALWAYS have secret money just in case you find yourself in a situation.

Love,
