Picture of Aisha,
Smiling, wearing a pink jacket with striped headscarf holding a red and orange flower. Next to her with his arm around her, her oldest son, with black hair, smiling, with his arm around her wearing a white shirt with red and black graphic which is difficult for me to read given the angle of the picture. His other arm is around her youngest son,
Also black hair, smiling, wearing a gray t-shirt with holding purple flowers, also difficult to see the graphic due to the angle of the picture but looks like there might be red sunglasses on the t-shirt. Next to him is her middle son smiling with sunglasses on his head, black hair, holding orange flowers wearing a white button down t shirt and black pants. It appears they’re standing in front of a garden with some pink flowers to the left.

Does anyone still feel what Odai is going through? 💔
Have you all forgotten the boy injured by a quadcopter who’s been suffering for more than a year and a half?
Odai is still here, in pain, waiting for someone to remember him and reach out before he loses all hope.

For me, Indigenous Peoples Day is more and more annoying every year, too many clout chasers trying to get woke points when they could actually care less about Indigenous people. They don't show up the rest of the year, especially if there's a Dem on the White House. They're too busy with brunch.

Speaking of AI like obviously they are trying to replace human women sex workers bc men see us as tools lmao and not as a humans but I keep getting the Gemini Ad and it reads as a white man asking his "Black" AI for help. I know this has been covered bc Facebook AI but god damn the vibes are awful.

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 12h

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.
