Can y'all have my back further amplifying Jhordin's need to escape their abusive home by changing your name to #ProtectJhordin at minimum, and your avi to the one I'm using if you're okay going the extra mile?

The way folks need Black people to co-regulate their emotions and guide their responses in this moment is not lost on me.

tru @thetrudz.photo · 4d

Someone flashed their high beams at me because I wasn’t speeding and they were behind me on a regular city street, not a highway.☹️

When we got to the red light, I calmly looked in my side view at them and they looked at me quickly and then looked down. After that, they calmed down.😌

Every time I log in on here, there's a bunch of Zionists dogging Black people out. I want to figure out the migration thing but I know I need my computer to do it.

if you are Black you should migrate to blacksky. bluesky moderation is showing very clearly that they are hostile to criticism and not above retaliatory moderation
