i should say some things, huh?

romances require a happy ending but i'm SO liberal about what that could look like

Black romance requires Black authors AND Black characters

words mean things, friends. let's try to use them right

but Shakespeare didn't get to all the words, make some up

have fun!

Alright so here it is. I got the rent, the utilities and I just paid the car insurance but I ain’t got anything else. If you feel so kindly to pass me on anything to survive with (gas money for DoorDash, food to eat) it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi dolls! I'm 🙏🏼 *finally* 🙏🏼 leaving my apartment and my toxic roommate this weekend, but he's taking all the household necessities. I would really appreciate any help getting back on my feet, a few cheap pots/pans, dishes, groceries, etc. Literally anything helps 💕 #transmutualaid #aidrequest

I swear, every time I wear this pullover, I end up looking like I’m starring in a Hallmark movie.
A man with salt-and-pepper hair and beard, wearing dark blue square glasses and a thick beige knit sweater with wooden buttons, rests his chin on his hand while looking thoughtfully at the camera. Behind him, autumn leaves in shades of red, orange, and yellow contrast with the green trees in the background.

The fact that they can’t even take safety tips that would ultimately benefit them from a Black woman shows that the white supremacy is too ingrained. If they were well meaning they’d just say “ok” or “good looking out”.

I'm really concerned that white people are just not up to the task. A lot of y'all are well meaning but you're just not up to the task because you've never been systematically oppressed and you refuse to listen to people who have been
