I haven’t written anything for my blog since 2022 and all of a sudden I felt like writing at 1:00am.

I guess I’ll post it tomorrow when I wake up.

Why didn’t anyone tell me about Thando Zide?!!! She is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥

A year ago today my big brother passed. I miss him everyday.

Life after loss of a loved one always feels so strange. So often it feels unfair that everything and everyone just kept going on

When you are talking about people, capitalize “Black.” It is an identity. . . not and adjective 🙄

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Oh my goodness. Dr. Daniel Black writes this way 😆 I once asked him why he made a character do something and he said “well daughter I was just as surprised as you were”

I think there is some truth to this but every time I hear about threads it’s something messy going on over there just like twitter

This is so real.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

But the more I learned the more I realized that masking not only helps them but other people with compromised immune systems as well.

Now that my two oldest children no longer have sickle cell due to having stem cell/bone marrow transplant. We will continue to mask & make spaces safer for everyone

I believe it’s the responsibility of the community to make spaces accessible and that includes people that are immunocompromised. Which is why to this day we all still mask 😷 even my two year old.

Initially the masking was to protect them (2)

This is a good read.

I have been teaching my children about ableism since they were really young b/c my two oldest were both born w/ sickle cell. But when the pandemic started I realized I needed to expand on how I was teaching them. (1)

A number rivaling the population of Atlanta

Good morning

This seems like a no brainer, that’s why nurses and doctors should be required to wear n95 or kn95 respirators.

I wish white people wanted to say “excuse me” as much as they wanna say “nigga”

How China is reporting on the Epstein Files.

I think this is why I’m never surprised. I grew up in Columbus OH and the KKK used to march downtown every year

Because why did they do that

I have never heard ANYONE say this is a good idea or that he would make a good candidate NEVER

Honestly I’m not surprised about what LeBron said. I don’t put anything past a man that would intentionally post a video blasting music from a man like Tory

😂🤣
