On a white plate with green trim sits a homemade oatmeal cream pie that I have bitten into to share with you all its deliciousness.

Imani is taking a bite of the oatmeal cream pie. She’s adorable and I love her so much.

One of my current safe snacks is oatmeal crème pies, and I ran out yesterday. Today was a heavier than usual depression day, and Imani came to the rescue with these.

Homemade oatmeal cream pies with homemade espresso cocoa buttercream in the middle.

They are SO good.

It’s disheartening that Black people want a space to be among likeminded Black folks and not have to face anti Black racism from the likes of you?
That’s what has your feelings hurt?
And your reasoning is that you’ve *checks notes* say you, as a white woman, have experienced racism.
Girl. 😒

This is disheartening. I want all races in my community and unfortunately I think this is racist. I understand the black community wants to be supported, it’s coming off as a one way street. I’ve encountered racism lately all from mentally unstable black women. Blacksky will further segregate people

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

From the dildos that brought you 303 Creative v. Elenis which was also a fake case

I'm sorry but how does this person have standing to challenge Colorado's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy when she has explicitly disclaimed any desire to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity? How is this a real case? slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Supreme Court’s First Blockbuster Case This Term Looks Pretty Fake

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case that seeks to undo a major triumph of the LGBTQ+ movement.

The Supreme Court wants to allow conversion therapy so that's why we have oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar this morning.

The Supreme Court wanted to allow Christian people to refuse to serve queers, so that's why they issued an advisory opinion in 303 Creative v. Elenis.

Everything is rigged.

On this week’s #SteamingNewsDump, there was a whole lotta Catholic bro-licing this week. The Pope cherry-picks what is “pro-life” — SPOILER: it's not saving US—and a Catholic rag clutched its rosary pearls and whined that we're not centering the delicate emotional lives of forced-birth bros.

I love her and am so grateful for her existence in the midst of this bullshit.

Two Black women are smiling at the camera. I am in a gray shirt, and some of my tattoos are showing. Imani’s yellow necklace, her signature frames, and smile are the true stars of this picture.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

I interview Elie Mystal today. I interviewed Judy Reyes last week. You haven't lived until you've spent 45 minutes talking to Carla Espinosa about anti-capitalism and the importance of community.
