    Going from waitressing a year ago to now carries a LOT of life-adjustments. But 3 paychecks in has shown me how 1 of the greatest scams in US is the idea that financial struggle is due to “poor character.” It’s a huge myth designed to keep people from empowering themselves. /1

    3) My job as an advocate (I hate “ally”) is to amplify the voices of those folks on the ground, doing the work, who will be most impacted by GA’s anti-choice heartbeat bill. Not to call for a boycott that will hurt GA residents most of all. 4) Donate to GA orgs doing the work.

    My thoughts about Georgia’s anti-choice heartbeat law. 1) It doesn’t go into effect until 2020, so please amplify that for GA residents who need to make healthcare decisions before then. 2) I don’t live in Georgia. So it’s not my place to call for a boycott. 1/

    There is literally no aspect of this movie that isn't deeply offensive, inaccurate, and obnoxious. Hope the crew was paid well and that a finished film never sees the light of day.

    The idea that Black women get hired simply because they are Black women is pervasive in the entertainment industry, particularly among white men. It is laughable. Black women, lastinx women, and indigenous women work SO hard just to be seen.

    Even choosing the name Loqueesha is racist, coded to sound loud and "ghetto." Our names are beautiful and stemmed in a dream of individuality and representation. Every nameless Black female interpretation is rooted in misogynoir.

    Dear, Everyone who ain't a Black Woman, You do not have an inner Black woman living inside of you. Your desire to "tell it like it is" is seen as either vulgar, obnoxious, or disruptive when done by actual Black women.

    "We stand with Stacey Abrams and the hardworking people of Georgia, and will donate 100% of our respective episodic fees for this season to two organizations leading the charge against this draconian law: the ACLU of Georgia and Fair Fight Georgia." More of this, people.

    Free and formerly enslaved black people made their way to the thriving hamlet that offered a school, a church and a newspaper that published the alphabet, reading lessons and prayers. The community produced doctors, journalists and educators.

    Two things strike me about this video. One if that is fluent in Spanish, which seems useful. The other is that he can eat tacos without apparently dropping any on his white shirt-which I personally find almost impossible.

    Seven hours of labor without medication or seeing a doctor. Every single person who ignored her cries for help is unfit to be responsible for the safety of Black women.

    People laughing is not proof that something is a joke. White people laughed at lynchings. Reporters calling this a joke don't know what a joke is and are offering an opinion favorable to Trump. 'It was a joke' is Trump's favorite defense.
