"Black members of the university are shown over and over in many ways that the university is not theirs to belong to without cost. In other words, an unserious commitment to BHM reveals itself not as repair but as a deepening of that message of non-belonging."

Do I follow people from Texas, New Mexico and Colorado? We have a 19 year old Black girl who is a rape victim and needs assistance with a safe escape, finding a way to get an abortion and just needing a safe place to stay. I’m begging y’all. DM please.

A very funny thing is happening where our lovely autistic audience is so horrified with the weird numbers that everyone’s trying to fix it at once, causing further weird numbers. Have we accidentally stumbled on the world’s most neurodivergent marketing strategy???
