White collar wealth is tied into all the mobs and conglomerate structures. And those are your funders of "The fame" that ppl emanate archetypes and artifacts to eventually embody.

I will say though that I noticed awhile ago that the Black women that the U.S. tech industry actually did hire were not African American, or of they were, they were light skinned + had exotic names

& I think this has something to do with why me and @sassycrass.bsky.social never got jobs ourselves.

this isn't a lie either I've watch them go through this in public and in private for over a decade.
Half the shit y'all know about anti Blackness in tech originated from @sotreu.blacksky.app

I got into once w/ a white dude on a gig I was working who said minimum wage isn’t supposed to be a livable wage b/c I asked what is that based on.

He made up some nonsense and asked me the same and I said Roosevelt’s New Deal, where minimum wage originated.

Ha, he refused to speak to me again
I found it so funny that he claims "pay a living wage" is emotional to dismiss all the data and reputable research and writing that went into this concept of a "living wage"
Sorry, it's the 5th paragraph

And yes the Epstein Files which apparently have lots about genetically optimizing for a master race …..
"That the same online communities that continually prodded and mocked black women are incubators for sex criminals who expose private pictures of celebrities isn’t shocking, it’s inevitable. They watched the world not care, why should they anticipate consequences now?" — 2014.

Still will never be over my coworkers at the time all thinking the Tulsa Massacre was fiction created for Watchmen on HBO. They only learned otherwise because I lost my entire shit in the kitchen.

I’m not even a holiday person but I’m not arguing with white people about mac and cheese.

Let those people have their wack ass traditions and be miserable together over dry ass, undercooked food.

it’s so much easier to understand everything else when you accept this as the premise
*whispers* everything is racism and internalized white supremacist thinking down to what we normalize as appropriate or normative

It is amazing how much better life feels and gets when you let go of the people/things that you’re supposed to.

You’ll be okay.
You’ll actually be better.

I promise you, the gaping maw of loneliness & a lack of purpose borne of the mismatch between the self you truly are & the one-size-fits-all mold of patriarchal masculinity will NOT be filled by subjecting a woman to pregnancy, childbirth, and unequal divisions of labor just so you can be a father.

*Moved countries x1
*Moved states x4
*Experienced variously legally actionable discriminatory work environments in 3 different hospitals

👋🏿 I'm 3 years into a fundraiser to support my journey of becoming a midwife, I'm STRUGGLING to take these very last steps. Finishing the $7889 left on this campaign would secure essential transportation to get to births and let me connect the pieces of my training and commitment to community birth.

Now see here, what exactly is *too many* books?
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
