I’m excited about starting school ( I’m saying that like I’m not in school right now) because of the specialty. I’ll get to talk to other students about something that most people aren’t comfortable speaking/hearing about

A story in 4 parts..

I need, need, need ppl to understand that we do not live in a country built on freedom, safety, or choice. We have always lived within the system of capitalistic control that perpetuates a lot of atrocity and violence, both here and over seas. None of it started in November.

I'm also super aware that the lenses in which I view the world in is heavily influenced by the fact that I am Black and a woman. I think the intersectionality is honestly very helpful (though it's a struggle).

The further you are from the margins the further you are from the truth imo ..

Steering from that list means settling for less and I deserve so much more than that

Lackluster compliments when you've really put in time and effort are such a letdown.

Yes. Jealousy is the fear of loss triggering other emotions like anger or sadness.

People think that jealousy is synonyms with envy but it isn't. Envy isn't fear driven. I don't struggle with envy hardly ever but I do struggle keeping jealous feelings in check.

The Congressional Black Caucus’s silent partnership with AIPAC

www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Yet to this day, the Congressional Black Caucus—the long-standing corps of lawmakers dedicated to safeguarding civil rights (and known as “the conscience of Congress”)—has not issued a formal declaration condemning Israel; it hasn’t even produced a statement calling for a ceasefire. The CBC’s silence isn’t accidental: More than half of its current 61 members have been endorsed or funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful US lobbying arm for Israel’s agenda. In the 2023–24 election cycle alone, AIPAC endorsed 26 of the caucus’s members, raising $4.6 million for them and another $3.5 million for Black Democratic candidates.
