"In a way, marrying into the British royal family was the Blackest thing Meghan had ever done... She was a Black woman who didn’t have to identify as Black until she threw herself into one of the whitest institutions on the planet."
"I had mistaken hearing ABOUT Harry and Meghan with hearing FROM them. Their documentary-slash-propaganda series finally gave me something that came directly from the source."
On my 2017 England trip: "almost everywhere there was a nonchalant explanation of how this or that uncle murdered this or that young nephew to prevent them from ascending the throne... This was the summer I learned that Game of Thrones is a DOCUMENTARY about the British Empire."
Despite my best efforts to not care, I’m entranced by Harry & Meghan's journey of racial awakening, historical traumas, and exile. Check out my latest piece in
“Despite my best efforts to not care about the British royal family, I’ve found myself entranced by the Sussexes’ journey of racial awakening, moved by their historical traumas, and transformed by their exile.”

We have become a culture of "leaders" and "observers". We need "teammates".
In every part of our life, where we are not leaders, we just observe. Often complain.
How about being a great teammate? Take responsibility for improving things?
Resolve to be a great teammate in 2023.

"Like a biological ecosystem, #Twitter held together due to the diversity of species that called it home, but now that balance is forever broken. I should say that in an active voice: Elon Musk has broken that balance, and I don’t think anyone can restore it."
"We should look at Elon in 2023 with the level of contempt we’ve reserved for Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos or Anna Delvey née Sorokin of Whatever-Scheme-She-Was-Pimping." @baratunde on @PuckNewshttps://puck.news/have-we-reached-peak-elon/…

Can’t handle this much free speech.
Can’t criticize a billionaire. I can’t post Mastodon links. Can’t post information public info about FAA flights. Nothing happens when I report death threats and rape threats. And I’m assuming my account will get banned any second now.
