I can do the crocs that don’t look like crocs. Otherwise, they’re ugly.

Y'all out here acting like we don't need literacy anymore. Reminds me of that one alien pompously telling Frye that "we have evolved beyond the need for asses." *eyes every Chat GPT enthusiast sideways.

White people are relearning the concept of intimate community care and relationships due to the Fed cuts.
Mind you this concept of fed workers helping each other wasn’t news when mostly Black women were getting fired and “offered” early retirement.

If we aren’t in a relationship, what am I being faithful to, exactly?

Snack Queen @auntiebaecc.blacksky.app · 15h

How many of you are staying faithful to a person you're not in a relationship with?

This is a safe space.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

The liberal fascist-lover playbook: make up something and say the “left” is doing it. Provide no evidence. Collect AIPAC donations.

A Sagittarius; we were basically twins. I always wonder where that relationship would have gone if not for his racist momma. 😒

He was mixed, but with a white mother, so you know how that can be.

This is gonna be a hard read. The more I understand the role of Texan identities (and its micro-nationalism!), the more I hate that state. It existed to eliminate the folks who once cared for that land.

Black identity there is *complicated* when this is considered.

Texas Observer @texasobserver.org · 22h

“When they talk about the mixed-race population in the U.S., they don’t include me there, they include me in the category of Hispanic. So the fact that I am native to the Americas gets lost.”

From the archives: The Lipan Apache are reclaiming their identities after decades of denial.

Labeled ‘Hispanic’

Lipan Apaches across Texas are challenging the myth that their tribe was wiped out.

Not to be a Debbie downer, but I have been encouraging everyone to start memorizing numbers again. Think about everything going on and why you might need to do that, and then commit to it.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Yeah, real shit. All Dems had to do is not support those genociding mfs but, instead chose to continue assisting in murdering innocent ppl. Ppl with a conscience were not rocking with that, it don’t mean they voted for a fascist, but they didn’t vote for Neo-lib monsters either.

Wow bro whatever. Our dictator gets to be the peace president with the hero's photo in Time because Biden's administration couldn't stop bombing Palestine so people would actually vote for him & he could have credit.

Plus, even now, you should remember certain phone numbers in case you lose your phone or it gets damaged or you get into a situation where you just can’t use your phone.

Auntie Lily’s Mixing Spoon @elletheebelle.bsky.social · 19h

I still remember some of my previous home phone numbers and family’s numbers because you wouldn’t know them unless you memorized it. In fact, I want to say it was either kindergarten or 1st grade where they made you write down your name, address, and phone number to make sure you memorized them.

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible
