She knew about their plan to drop more Black vendors (because they announced it) when she told folks to keep buying her stuff after boycott talks started.

You just saved me some time. First couple of episodes aren’t even interesting enough for all that.

And so often when they enable abuse this show, there is a Black woman on the receiving end. This season reminded me why I stopped watching.

I was just thinking about how much I’d miss watching stuff with y’all! 🤎

Sadly it doesn’t feel like a new low. We’ve been here before. And worse.

They know folks still won’t give up that Prime. This seems like a good time to remind folks Amazon is being sued for intentionally slower delivery in Black neighborhoods while still charging those folks full price for Prime. #cancelPrime

“The Friday DoJ report, however, acknowledged that the attack by white citizens on Black residents “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”.

The exodus is the point. Breaking up communities, eliminating opportunities to share truth, taking away the small pieces of joy folks can find in these spaces, disrupting organizing. He’s made billions off the folks he wants to leave now. Sounds familiar.

“The building complex sits slightly more than a mile from the Hurst Fire. As of Thursday evening, none of the nearly 100 kids incarcerated in the facility have been moved to safety, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Probation Department told The Appeal.” At minimum the air has to be so bad

I don’t know nothing about It’s Always Sunny but Gregory stepping into the fray and asking Janine “Are you ok?” hit the feels for me. Forget everything going on in this moment and whatever anybody else is talking about. *Are you ok?*

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

“My friends warned me that things would only worsen. They complained of suffering back-to-back hot flashes while being forced to work unpaid in the fields in triple-digit Texas heat.” Unpaid labor in fields under triple degree heat and no regard for the human performing the labor. Sounds familiar.

My first post being a book by a Black woman makes all the sense. Now reading:

For me the cheat code is remembering that people who actually love me would want me to make the healthiest choice for me. And anyone who doesn’t want me to do that doesn’t care enough about me so what they think doesn’t matter.
