Hey all,
This is an exceptionally vulnerable post, but I'm in need of serious support to make sure my grandmother receives lifesaving care.
The past few weeks have been difficult, but I hope we can turn it all around.
teaching your daughter basic shit like cleaning after herself and cooking with the idea that she will be a wife and a mother and not her own person with a need for skills outside of the promise of labor for others is... sad. i’m sorry this is what some of y’all aspire to

every time i see this it kills me that the young, Black girl with the colorful box braids is going so hard for a white cis woman whose hardship is that she’s tall.
I will never forget in college when a friend mispronounced my name (saying Muh-lie-kah) & it was my first time really correcting anyone (Muh-lee-kah) immediately. She apologized and I said it was okay.
She told me: “No. It’s not okay. Never let anyone mispronounce your name.”
people really out here saying people with anxiety aren’t allowed to live their dreams as an artist because they have to conform to the way people wish to consume them and never actually accommodate for whatever anxieties they experience.
wild.
Not trying to be weird about it... but y’all captioning every pregnant Black woman’s photo with a prayer that they don’t die during childbirth is getting a little strange. I get it... but... 😬
Jonah Hill has been vocal about how much he dislikes when people center his appearance. This shit has been going on for years. He’s exhausted. I’m exhausted. Please just… stop.
I’m really at a point where I’m fine letting people think what they want about me. Low expectations. High. Whatever. I’m existing in my joy. What do I need to be performing for yours for?
ain’t nothing wrong with wanting to be a wife or a mother or a homemaker. but man... but the projection onto a toddler of whatever outmoded expectations that strip them of their individuality and assumes life experience ain’t where it’s all.
Chloe’s live also prompts me to share that it’s absolutely okay to want attention. You don’t have to justify that or downplay it. This isn’t to say that that’s what she did but we can make space for the reality that wanting attention isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I just wanna say, once again, that I appreciated the moment when NoName was called-in about how she praised capitalism, she logged off, read some books, and came back to not only apologize but help teach, give back, & learn more.
I realize that I really enjoy “mundane” conversation fillers with people I care about. Yes, please tell me about your missing nail clippers or about the baby that waved at you on the bus. Thank you so much.
listen... the trauma and abuse she had to endure.. it’s interesting hearing dude imply she wasn’t a victim because she defends herself and shows her strength in that way. strength/defense doesn’t take away victimhood...

sidebar: ain’t nobody saying people shouldn’t learn life skills from their parents. i’m talking about the PROJECTIONS parents place on their children to fit cishetero/patriarchal af norms.
OR you could just see the tweet that began this thread:
Rich people getting on calls to raise millions of dollars at once while vulnerable communities have been crowdfunding for their lives (much of which has been a result of policy decisions) and it makes me sick.
Lemme be 1000% clear: This isn’t funny. At all. And i regret not adding in a tag to emphasize that this is an instance of assault that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
A teenager was screaming and rolling around on the street outside our apartment in Washington heights. Someone called the cops. They handcuffed her and took her away. Turns out she was in grief bc her mom died. I feel sick. Defund the police today and forever.
Okay! Yes!! I was looking for a Twitter ready glambot vid for her since folk kept mentioning it.
I don’t really know Porsha, but definitely a beautiful woman.

oh wow! it can be both!? jeez. I DID NOT realize that identifying how parents project things onto their children and then socialize their child into performing in a very cisheteronormative/patriarchal way rather than centering the child as an individual was so restrictive! golly!
Lol she initially asked “you want me to come by?” and he says “you can do that.”
Me, personally, I’d ask for that clarity because “you can do that” sounds passive as hell as opposed to “yes, I want you to come by.”
People have been responding to this shit with “She had 7 kids & drug related issues wow” as if forced sterilization can be, and is, a viable choice. I hate how y’all hate incarcerated people this much.
The fact that y’all first reaction to a child acting out is to turn her into a joke and then advocate for imprisonment rather than “I wonder what would’ve made her take such a drastic measure? I’d she okay? What was this in response to? Is she safe at home?” is strange to me
@YaaAsantewaaBa
It’s right in line with people responding “this is my worst nightmare” in response to people mourning the death of someone close to them. Idk why any of that needs to be communicated.
I wish folk would stop
