The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted from Dec 5, 1955, to Dec 20, 1956.

It ended after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.

So, 381 days. One week should be doable.

Christian Nègre is alleged to have drugged over 200 women at a place they never expected it… a job interview.

He dosed them with a diuretic which made them have to urinate; then took them on walks far from toilets

The desire to shame, subjugate & control is a feature of patriarchy:
‘I didn’t even know this type of attack existed’: more than 200 women allege drugging by senior French civil servant
In a case echoing the Pelicot trial, dozens of women allege they were given hot drinks mixed with a diuretic to make them urinate. Three of them speak out here

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I love this so much.
When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.

The answer: yes, they are.

Hubby @kundalinisteve.bsky.social and I have collected donations to a charity fund for those in need at the holidays.

Reach out if you need a little extra money via PayPal to get by.
It's not enough for rent or a car payment, but it's enough for groceries and smaller gaps.

For an essay assignment about How to Say Babylon in my Gender & Black World Literature class I gave my students the option of writing a short memoir. I am SO impressed by the depth, the creativity, & the vulnerability in these essays. WOW.

It really does Mike. I do wish you would check your yt tribe too tho. It's not enough for you to learn. Each one, teach one. Right?
I enjoy following you because, well.. Sometimes you need to hear the uncomfortable things in order to grow as a person..

Plus, as one of those few yt people you follow, I think being respectful and willing to learn helps..
