when i was meeting friends at Nando’s and when i got there the server walked me over to a table of random Black people and we just stood/sat there looking at each other like this
i was a waitress on 39th and Lennox. he'd come in on a Wednesday on his lunch break. he always ordered the special w the hot chocolate. usually we'd use water, but i'd always use some milk & cream for him bc i thought he was kinda sweet. he always wore a blue suit with the cuffli

i was on a panel one time and i said "poetry is theatre" and a guy also on the panel said "or maybe... theatre is poetry" and everyone went "oOoOoOoO" and that is when i decided to join the gender war.
last time i went church on NYE the Pastor said "let's do two thousand and seventeen hallelujahs to enter in the new year". do you know how long that took. no sorry.
A pregnant woman is sexually assaulted on a train by a man & the judge’s bizarre priority is that finding him guilty, will adversely impact his life.
It’s a man’s world alright.
Selling Sunset really had me in suspended belief of my own finances. i'd be looking at some of these houses like "ooo, only $3.2million?" with £1.49 in my account.
Come Dine With Me is hilarious because people will really be in the taxi home like "the food was absolutely delicious, i particularly loved the dessert and the main felt like something i'd eat at a Michelin-Star restaurant, and that's why i'm giving Sally a 4.".
Toni Morrison said it best - one of the functions of racism is distraction. the things that keep us in a perpetual state of explaining and reexplaining and re-reexplaining our reasons for being.
"Fack me John this Supermalt is fackin spicy mate. Goes banging with that Egoosey stuff though. Oi did I tell ya about the time Kunley brought battered yam to work? Fackin gorgeous mate."
The Thong Song is the same verse and chorus on repeat for 4 and a half minutes, and each repetition had MORE vim, MORE adlibs, and a WHOLE KEY CHANGE - all for a very limited piece of fabric?
people will learn when a pop-up restaurant run by white men called "Joe Loves Rice" opens in Peckham charging £22 for a small box of "Joe's Spicy Jollof Surprise"
NEW: A Black woman has been charged by the Metropolitan Police after using the n-word in a tweet to another Black woman. She is due to appear in court on 8 August.
“Where you from?”
“Hertfordshire.”
“Where in Hertfordshire?”
“Hitchin.”
“Where’s that near?”
“Stevenage? Letchworth? Luton?”
“Huh?”
“Just near London. I’m from just above London.”
if i vomit!!!!!!!!!!
still VERY much in disbelief but i'm one of the 10 recipients of the inaugural Netflix Documentary Talent Fund.
i'll be making my directorial debut (LOL!) with my film OWAMBE - a docu-fiction film on Nigerian hall parties.
coming 2022 - LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!
i cannot explain how much it pisses me off when people act like the arts and creativity are this unnecessary, useless entity that does nothing. as if all of the things they do, live, enjoy, watch, read, listen to, experience EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY appeared out of nowhere.
paywalled with an inflammatory headline to insight anti-black racism towards the cast and crew.
they’re doing ONE Black Out performance for Black audiences (and if white people turn up they actually can’t turn them away).
there are 28 other performances anyone can attend.

“it’s just opinions” but Sammy was crying for forty days and forty nights when the villa said him and the babe he’s been happily parading as “not his type” aren’t compatible?

And is prepared to be arrested for it.

being Nigerian, Ghanaian AND a Londoner means there's a triple-deadlock-zero-chance likelihood of me giving any man money, let alone some random i met a month ago on Tinder that has ENEMIES. for that, i am thankful. hold tight the rest of yous.
the amount of shit Diane Abbott has gone through in her line of duty honestly makes me tear up every time i think about it. it's not enough to be 'strong' and 'resilient' when this kind of prolonged and institutional misogynoir moves like a violent virus in the body.
Notting Hill Carnival has been happening every year for decades and rich yts will still move to the area talking about "I PAY MA CANSIWL TAX WOIY CARNT YEW MOOV THE HEVENT." Fuck off to Scunthorpe then, Suzan.

Black people:
racists: what would you do if my son was at home crying all alone on the bedroom floor cos he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to let him say the n-word to your face really loudly would it be acceptable to say it then
violent misogyny being reduced to “things you don’t like” paired with this kind of passiveness is partly why these young boys that are being radicalised by his content and others alike don’t stand a fighting chance.
I found Kevin Samuels annoying. I didn't really find Andrew Tate annoying coz I saw less of him. But do you know what the most annoying thing was? The fact that you lot made them famous because you're so invested in the things that you don't like.
Jamal Edwards was passionate about documenting the culture that surrounded him. his vision to uplift his community is a legacy that will outlive us all. a life cut way too short, but i'm glad an abundance of love was poured into him while he was here. long live Jamal Edwards.
Also… I personally think that you should introduce things like bonnets gradually into a situation. Especially if you’re trying to make a man like you. Yes, men should love you as you are blah blah but sis that’s not how he met you 🤷🏾♀️
