"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.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Do yall use the little dish to put under the soup bowl? Or a big plate? Or just the bowl standing alone? Or does it depend on the addition of crackers or nah?

themaninblackfled.bsky.social @themaninblackfled.bsky.social · 8h

Does butter go in the little water dish thingie? Or on the counter in the wrapper?

Do you put your spices on the counter for ease of access or do they have their own respective places in the cupboard?

themaninblackfled.bsky.social @themaninblackfled.bsky.social · 8h

Not in the fridge? Why not?

Why is a breadbox unfamiliar to me?

Pantry. Like… a little room just of the kitchen for food storage?

Does spaghetti belong in a bowl or on a plate?

Does soup go in the same size bowl as cereal?

Do yall put your bread on the counter, over the fridge, or IN the fridge??

Listen:

Do yall eat your grits with a SPOON or a FORK??

With respect, Wellington sounds too white and British and posh. Wellington wanna buy up my neighborhood for cheap and toss me on my ass. Calzone just wants to kick it and party down! Wellington was born with an 875 credit score and is prematurely balding. Calzone has a phat ass.
