    Hey, consider not saying Happy Mothers Day to folks you don’t know. It’s awkward and painful for many of us.

    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.

    There’s nothing wrong with single-skillet cooking. I do it all the time. Why make life more difficult?

    Replying to @CharleneCac @HeyChelseaTroy
    I might be. I'd love to learn how to use some basic spices in my cooking. I'm generally a single-skillet cooker.

    Anyone in Chicago interested in having me come to their home and helping them learn to cook/build out their kitchen? Any budget and any skill level. I once taught a cooking class to middle schoolers in St. Louis, I’m sure I can handle you. Would be a modest fee.

    Few things in life are as delicious as warm, soft pita bread. I’m having some right now and...I’m just enamored.

    The ppl I most admire, the ppl I consider leaders, are those who are willing to learn in public, to grow in front of our eyes. In her book Unapologetic (which yall should get) reminds activists that we all didn’t know something at some point & had to learn it all.

    Meanwhile a lot of youth organizations leave their folks behind after they turn 16/18/21. We wanted to change that dynamic and create a different type of political home.

    People question/joke about that a lot. There are real political/social/Economic reasons for many of the early decisions made in building .

    This is a major reason that is 18-35. South African movement work inspired our decision.

    this is dope and reminiscent of how youth is considered in South Africa in part as a recognition of how apartheid limited folks possibilities.

    I better not ever hear Jill Biden refer to anything terrible that happened to white women before 1991. She should just really “move on.” — Jill Biden Says 'It's Time To Move On' From Anita Hill Controversy

    Why is it "if you can't pay rent, buy less lattes" and not " if you can't pay your employees a living wage, buy less yachts"? 🤔

    A reporter should ask Kemp or his staff about what they expect poor women to do now that they blocked access to birth control AND abortion.

    0:23
    JUST IN: Georgia Gov. Kemp signs one of the nation's most restrictive anti-abortion bills into law, banning abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which typically occurs about 6 weeks into pregnancy; law expected to be challenged in court.

    I’m heartbroken over the woman who had to give birth while being ignored in a jail cell. Prison abolition is a reproductive justice issue.
