Whiteness is just so weird
Lying is its main function
So funny anecdote about a foster family I was with...
They were German but changed their name to something polish after that whole ww2 thing
But the story thst stands out the most to me was the grandma.
So. She was born circa 1910

Kids are assholes! But that’s not a reason to turn against the Black community and if you think it is, you do need to go to therapy.

For me, it makes more sense to acknowledge that kids were bullied & rejected for a variety of reasons & say that the people who were bullied need to go through a healing process & not use that as an excuse to become a coon than to insist that the bullied individual must have somehow deserved it.

The mental gymnastics are starting to frustrate me. Ex. We say that you can’t blame the kids for being colorist when they bully bc they don’t know about the factors that cause colorism. But we turn around & say another CHILD must have been anti-black bc they don’t ACT like they like Black people

No it’s not an excuse to turn against Black people and align yourself with whiteness, but why do we have to pretend that it doesn’t happen?

I really do not understand why we can’t be nuanced and admit that some Black people genuinely were rejected for being weird and that “weird” was often equivalent to “white.” 😵💫

Something I realized throughout American history is this intentional strategy of pitting African Americans and Indigenous people against each other. Both are complicit in hurting the other at the benefit of this white, capitalist empire. I’m so tired of the sugar coating…

Except we don't want or need another Rush Hour movie
Derealization is learning that they're making a new Rush Hour movie because the president wants a new Rush Hour movie

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Non fiction authors usually supplement their book income with public speaking, consulting, have full time jobs or they're in academia.
almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.
