I love being a Mary Poppins ass bitch. The feeling I get when I have the random, obscure thing that someone needs at any given moment probably adds days to my lifespan.

D’Angelo was only 51. That’s why I don’t trip about being called old. Each year we get is a blessing. No telling how many we get.

Everyone who works in education doesn’t automatically have the best interest of all children at heart. Titles don’t equal purpose.

“i say regular words that are tricky to you” was a scathing read and so validating for anyone who reads at a college level 😮‍💨

sagging your pants while wearing stained undergarments is an interesting choice.

intellectual depth (both a willingness to go deep, and an understanding of layers, systems and nuances) and curiosity about the world and other perspectives

this level of corrosion to your humanity is irreversible

excerpt from up next: they were her property - white women as slave owners in the american south by stephanie e. jones-rogers that reads:

This might have been where Harriet Mar-tineau, a British sociologist, feminist, and trav-eler, encountered a public slave auction. Just as she arrived, the auctioneer was exposing "a woman, with two children, one at the breast, and another holding her apron" for sale. She surmised that the woman's "agony of shame and dread would have silenced the tongue of every spectator; but this was not so." According to Martineau "a lady chose at that moment to turn to me and say, with a cheerful air of complacency, 'You know my theory, that one race must be subservient to the other. I do not care which; and if the blacks should ever have the upper hand, I should not mind standing on that table, and being sold with two of my children."23 The woman was not repulsed or disgusted at the sight of an enslaved mother being sold with her children, even though she was a mother herself.

working toward healthy, thick hair all one length, solange is currently my biggest inspo and my hair mood board is basically a shrine to her at this point.
