    Unacceptable.

    I was just hung up on by as I attempted to figure out why they are denying my father's medical requests as he is the hospital and very sick. Not to be outdone, before they hung up on me they told me drive to the hospital to call from my father's phone. Unbelievable.

    I’m proud to support the historic efforts of seeking to unionize with . Working Americans deserve the dignity and well-being that a union can help provide, and I encourage those in Bessemer, Alabama to vote yes.

    Time for my regular reminder that my name is B-R-I-T-T-N-E-Y not Brittany. That is all.

    Deep thread.

    As many of you know, I was apart of the white evangelical tradition. I have talked about things I learned about being Black in white spaces. Now I want to say some things about what I learned about once being a Black evangelical returning back to the Black church. A thread.

    Let me add that Pam Shriver isn’t much better. Darren Cahill is also very smarmy when he calls Serena’s matches. John McEnroe is fair and generous. And Mary Jo Fernandes has always been fair.

    Chyle I had lots to say about how much Chris Evert gets on my damn nerves and has for 20+ years calling the Williams Sisters matches. Me and my fave break it down in this piece:

    Also when Trump decided to mismanage COVID because it disproportionately affected Black people and the elderly, populations he deems expendable, it turns out he fucked white life expectancy too. Quite often, what the state does to the vulnerable redounds to the powerful.

    This is why when we advocate for racial equity, we aren’t ever just talking about money. We actually have to figure out what it would mean to repair the time Black people lose bc we live under a racist regime. Yes that means health to prolong life. But what about what we’ve lost.

    In 2016, I gave a TED Talk on race and time. I have been thinking about the racial politics of time in matters of life expectancy for a good while now. Am working on a book that will take some of this up (got a couple of books coming before that one gets here.) But

    Black men lost 3 full years of life expectancy in the first 6 mos of 2020. And Black women lost 2.4 years or so. Other demographics are included and the picture is just terrible.

    Back last spring I called this trend and the practices that led to it necropolitical. And my god, how true it has been. I mean this has been a systematic assault on and reduction of Black life expectancy. And when we get stats for Indigenous fam it’s gonna be overwhelming.
