This really pissed me off because it shows some people REALLY don't wanna let thay yt supremacy go. "Young ⚪️ voters picking D S A candidates" isn't a problem. Those voters telling Black people their lived experiences with systemic racism 1/

At least the quiet part is starting to be said out loud with the perpetually online yt leftists. Because WHAT SANE PERSON would want a "Trump of the Left" unless you feel the way he does about women and minorities?

The caption underneath the photo is why I really need people to stop taking the perpetually online yt left seriously. I'd bet my paycheck this person is a bot or talks all this cash money mess online, but won't say a WORD to 45/7 supporters in their families/friend group

The juxtaposition of the Black American experience. The longing for liberation for all fueled by a love for all, when not reciprocated, becomes indifference. I strive to be like Dr. Thomas (in the club, we all fam) but become more like Kenny Daily (f**k the family, the family f***ed my husbad)

I probably shouldn't enjoy it as much as I do, but Rage baiting Europeans about their racism & the only reason Democratic Socialism works there is because of the homogeneous population demographics never gets old. Because they REALLY believe things would stay the same if those countries were diverse

Timeline cleanse. So I got BSB Sphere tickets, and am planning my outfit. One of these jackets with the white dress I'm pictured in. I want my shoes to be comfortable. Chucks or Vans,

Tagging my ELA/YA fans/Librarians. I saw this in my local bookstore and think it might be worth recommending to students. (Hey @ebonyteach.blacksky.app , @heymrsbond.com @booksandmelanin.bsky.social @mrbgilson.bsky.social @techysewell.bsky.social @twkelly.bsky.social check this out]

The image of the Ibi Zoboi book pride. A gilded cover inspired book with 2 young black teens in silhouette with the words "Pride" on the cover

The words"Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable.
When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding.
But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick’s changing landscape, or lose it all.
"Zoboi skillfully depicts the vicissitudes of teenage relationships, and Zuri’s outsize pride and poetic sensibility make her a sympathetic teenager in a contemporary story about race, gentrification, and young love." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading
List")

If there are no more haters of yt GenX- those born in the 70s specifically- then I have passed on. They're NEVER beating the allegations. Going this hard for a fictional character but won't confront their family. (And YES, Alex Keaton would have been M A G A too)

So snoop, I apologize for the harm you experienced and hope you on a path to healing. But, maybe instead of yelling at pastors you don't know, maybe talk to your local elected officials or go to a town hall? You know, be the change you actually WANT TO SEE

We know that Casey. The problem is, a significant number of your demographic freak out and get real racist when we try to get the "higher expectations" you say we "deserve". So we can't ever get them bc people of your group vote against their own interests

Online etiquette and proper spelling when speaking to people are good lessons to learn. So are learning to apply nuance to a topic instead of jumping to dog pile on a Black woman like @prettykhemyst.blacksky.app because she thinks vetting sources for a students before letting them use them is good
