My TL is not a safe space for white people. Especially white men. Check your white privilege before you @ me & watch your tones.This is a anti-Bernie Pro Hillary Clinton & I voted 3 times for Kamala Harris acct. Talk to me NICE.

Do not call yourself an ally to Black people if you haven’t done the work.

@teacher21.bsky.social

You’re arguing with me about holding voters responsible and blaming white people for why progressive policies are rejected.

That’s just not the case everywhere.

But I know white women love to argue with Black women about any and everything so have your moment Stacy.

A quick lesson I learned in my twenties but every once in a while
Someone will try me and I have to remind them & show them IM NOT THE ONE. 🫠

Too old for these games and I’m at the age where I’m not hiding shit.

Ain’t no family secrets.

Just shit you were unaware of.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 10h

Everyone has weirdos in their family. Me included but please start living with intention in your life.

Especially if you’ve struggled to overcome situations that you were in as a child.

No one can think of confronting me without hearing about themselves.

🫠

Take Accountability for your actions.

This is the part where looking back i get where folks feel I am intimidating.

Because I set boundaries.

But I am not intimidating. You are INTIMIDATED by me.

Not my issue. 💁🏾‍♀️

I’ve done everything on my own with minimal help from those I should have had it from.

Period.

Cut off game strong.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 10h

If someone feels they can continuously disrespect you THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

Because that’s the tone you’ve created.

That’s the relationship you all have.

Set boundaries AND respect boundaries from others.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 10h

This is where I find that people continue to allow people especially family to disrespect them.

No. You failed to set a boundary and that’s YOUR FAULT.

It doesn’t matter who these people think they are to you.

Your life is not a group project. You set the tone for how people interact with you.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 10h

I’ve cut off everyone lmao

Mama, granny, siblings, friends

And they always come back.

When they get some SENSE.

Cuz one thing about me THEY KNOW EYE WILL CUT THEM OFF. You have to set boundaries with folks.

EVERYONE.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 10h

I have been in way too many traumatic situations to continue to fight with family.

I cut people off.

BIG CAPRICORN energy over here.

I cut people off. Including family and I don’t think twice about it.

One way or another they’ll come back when they get some SENSE.

I’m too old for those games.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 10h

Big Capricorn over here lmao

If people feel like they can confront me I START ASKING ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS cuz you’ve clearly lost your mind and thought I was gonna be DOCILE 🤣😂

Naaaahhhh I match energies.

To me there's nothing funnier than white people trying to say smelling bad isn't a hygiene issue. Especially when they spent years saying non-white people smelled bad because they lacked hygiene.

Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com · 1d

I'm going to start calling essays like this "odes to whiteness" because the underlying premise is that they are like this because they don't anticipate any social cost to smelling bad.

This one is v. frustrating because it tries to lump in perfumes with the broader (problematic) beauty industry

I’m turning 50 next year. I rarely wear deodorant anymore. Many women I know have stopped, too. We don’t talk about it, but I catch it in the air — a faint musk of onion, goat, curry, mustard, salt, sage, fennel, ozone, and the muddy wet marrow of the earth itself. I’m kind of obsessed with this collective stink: the animal symphony of skin, of women being women, punk and unfiltered, taking up space with their scent. Raw, unapologetic BO. The more I live among it, the more I see it not as a hygiene failure but as a radical act of self-acceptance. It’s not polite, but it’s honest — and that feels hot. Hotter, even, than anything a Guess ad ever promised.

Black women tried to warn us again and again.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

It was extra humid last night. Annoying.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 18h

Racist alert.

Ignoring me isn’t working.

And a chart with a simple breakdown of gringo vs Latino would be more relevant, here, since those are the two categories in question.

You’re a Black gringa, and my wife is a Black latina.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 23h

And you like to lie.

You’re a weirdo and you like to lie.

How sad.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

Ignoring you works just as well

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

I knew I clocked a weirdo lmao

🤣

His response screams WEIRDO

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

Sure whatever.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

What I don’t like are the stories about those regretting their vote for Trump and the stories about deportations.

Talk to the people about if they feel they’re getting what they voted for.

Because I feel people need to hear how callous others are towards you.

And will remain.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

White people.

Got it.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

Deportations were apart of the deal when people decided to vote for Trump.

They got exactly what Trump campaigned on.

It’s unfortunate that their community sold out their own.

That’s all I can really say.

Amene @angeamene.bsky.social · 1d

I’m just sick of seeing those stories because truth be told they should be upset at their own community.

Deportation was part of the deal when supporting Republicans and Donald Trump.
