    It really irks me when Black folks posit that The Problem With Black People™️ is merely that we haven’t grasped how to be capitalists like other racial/ethnic groups, like it’s a science we‘ve been pathologically unable to comprehend after 500 years 😑

    Right now, I'm just trying to breathe. I'd be lying if I said I wasnt afraid. I am. Very. Sometimes when I'm tweeting funny things, I'm distracting myself to stay calm. But my children r in trouble. And like most justice it boils down to money

    You know in The Handmaid's Tale flashback scenes where everything still feels kind of normal but they start dropping small hints that shit is starting to go very wrong very soon? We're in that part right now but with REALLY BIG FUCKING HINTS.

    As we prepare for I'd like to highlight something important. A friend asked me what part of my life is JUST for me. She asked what part of my life was separate from me being a mom or part of my career. She asked what I enjoyed. I cried because I had no answers.

    God, I love : "Steve Harvey is not so much offensive as he is fraudulent. This is a man who made millions selling the blueprint on how to achieve everlasting love while trading in wives for slimmer, lighter-skinned upgrades."

    I would caution ppl with using these tracking apps. Some TOS allows them to share your info for research and commercial use and are attempting to pitch paid versions to large employers and insurers who want info on which employee is looking to conceive
