Nothing like coming into Spoutible after a while and seeing a scam message about sending money on a day when I need it. 😖 If anyone can really help, my cash app is cash.app/$DebRBee

The billions of dollars we send to a foreign military to drop bombs on somebody else should have been spent to build schools, housing, and to provide healthcare HERE.

All 4 of the finalists deserved to be the finalists. I'm so proud of all 4 of them. And also, this season was a masterclass on how to hate loudly confident Black men, especially when they're winning. #ProjectRunway

There is absolutely nothing more aggravating than getting paid and school loans take half of what you just earned.

This playlist found me and I'm so glad it did! Perfect for reading on the subway and walking up hills. Also, the best argument I can give for splurging on YouTube premium is now I have uninterrupted DJ sets in my life. #musicsky #housemusic #blacksky #edenappiahkusi #authorlife

Meta and this stupid commercial about AI talking about "We're betting on people--" Weren't y'all sued for getting teenagers hooked to Facebook and Instagram?

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

Started watching Ambitions since I caught it on the first episode...I'm both intrigued and annoyed at the melodrama.

TW: SUICIDE . . . . . . . . . . . My co-worker Alan was told to move closer to HQ (out of state) or he'd lose his job. He moved. Lucent laid him off 2 weeks after, and then he hung himself. I still carry his business card 27 years later as a reminder not to trust any of these fucking corporations.

A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

Kids are doing math in complicated boxes and don't know Africa is a continent. Can we get schools to implement education again?

If you're an African-American millenial, then it's very likely that your grandparents grandparents were enslaved.

These reality shows, in general, are trauma webs for Black women. When I heard about that one on the boat!? Livid!!

So, I see what Law is saying about Joseph McRae, not so much that he isn't evolving, but because he already has a look and doesn't need #ProjectRunway. He could just be here for exposure, and that's fine. Now if he wants to win, he needs to listen to Nina and evolve *within himself.*

Between this, and the children’s hospital that she funded in Knoxville, that I believe was recently named after her, although she hesitated on that for a long time because she didn’t want the recognition, she has saved countless lives.

Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.

I'm tired of them hating Joseph McRae for doing his job well. He has an aesthetic that he actually adjusts to each challenge, and he's won because of it. Go home mad. #ProjectRunway
