Status update:

Still Black.
Still MAD.
Cut my locs.
Won a competition.
Still sick of being subjected to the whims of stupid, old whites who fear their own mortality.
Hot under the collar and growing hotter still.
In more ways than one.

Haven’t been on here in a hot minute.

Been outside.

Touching grass.

Cycling more often and putting on a community event with some friends in DC.

Being outside more often has helped a lot with my headspace.

Peace Black people. Get some sun. Drink some water. Tell people you love them.

BREAKING: In a groundbreaking rebuke to REI’s unionbusting and human rights abuses along the supply chain, REI members reject the corporate board nominees that were up for election this year.

REI Members Reject Corporate-Backed Candidates in Historic Board Election
Over 115,00 Members and Workers Stood Together for Historic
"Vote No" Campaign
Washington, DC - Today, the REI Union issued a statement after REI announced that all of its unopposed, corporate-backed candidates to serve on its Board of Directors had been soundly rejected by REI members. The announcement follows a massive "Vote No" campaign where the REI
Union sent over 115,000 members to the company's website to vote down the candidates, likely making it the highest turnout for an election in REI history•

Scott Ekin, Sales Specialist at REI Santa Cruz said:
"Over 115,000 of us went to the polls to make our voices heard and demand change from an REI that has failed to meet its own values and standards. To see how many people were willing to step forward fills my heart with pride in those I stand side by side with everyday in the workplace. It is my hope that this vote will stand as the foundation for change and build atop it an REI that supports its workers with fair wages, safe workspaces, and can once again take its place as a haven for the lovers of outdoors and those that would fight for them."

The REI Union said:
"This victory was only possible because REI members and REI workers stood together to send a resounding message that it is time for the co-op to return to its core values. We are optimistic that Mary Beth Laughton will take this opportunity to listen to everyone who voted for workers and members to have a voice in the company's future. Moving forward, REI should stop union busting, negotiate a fair contract with organized workers, and fill the vacancies on the board with the candidates that members backed initially."

But Paulana Lamonier, founder of Black People Will Swim (BPWS), emphasizes that having swimming skills extends beyond merely being able to do laps in the pool. Swimming, along with running, is one of those unique sports that gives you life-saving capabilities.

Black People Will Swim is offering a swim certification program

If you don’t know how to swim, you might wonder why you should bother to learn. You can easily visit beaches.

That they genuinely seem to think we want AI to satisfy our need for connection speaks to how soulless & empty their daily interactions must be due to being exclusively surrounded by people whose livelihoods rely upon them being Yes Men.

They haven't had honest human interactions in perhaps decades
