Now that the Department of Education is being dismantled, as a teacher please ensure that you have dictionaries in your home. Subject matter dictionaries are the best. Anthologies are best for reading, math, and science have dictionaries as well. New or used it doesn't matter, education does.

COVID can still kill and disable people. Just because others don’t care about having an immune system in shambles after getting infected 10x doesn’t mean I want that for myself or my loved ones.

Protesting 101, let's do this!

Starting with arguably the most important tip: shut the fuck up.

Protesting 101: No Kings 2025. Shut. the. fuck. up. If you’re approached by cops, ICE or other strangers, you have the right to remain silent, and you should be. Don’t tell them who you are, where you’re coming from or where you’re going, but DO tell a friend before you go.

California will start producing and selling its own supply of low-cost insulin in January.

The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.

Currently even generic insulin typically costs about $260 for a pack of five.

In shot across Big Pharma's bow, California will sell its own insulin

Delivery of the state-branded drug makes good on a longstanding promise by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

TL used to be like: Who sits in the front seat if your mama made your plate first at thanksgiving, but your son is gay because your relationship is 50/50 of what you bring to the table on a coffee date and your husband and your dad are fighting. Thoughts? 👀👀👀

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.
