the reason clothes looked & performed better in the 60’s & early 70’s is because they were being made in more reasonable quantities by union workers who were being paid a livable wage to construct them to human proportions & not slaves who were abused to meet production deadlines

Anti-LGBTQ Bill: Samia Nkrumah - daughter of Kwame Nkrumah, first President of Ghana - is urging President Akufo-Addo @nakufoaddo not to assent to the "brutal, harsh, unjust law."
In an interview with @Graphicgh, she said "we don't need it" as we need to protect eachother.

Gentle reminder: You don’t have to understand people’s experiences to be kind. Kindness doesn’t require logic, it requires grace.

Janice Burgess, creator of The Backyardigans has sadly passed away at 72. Beyond creating that show, she was the vice president of Nick Jr, and had a hand in many Nick/Nick Jr shows, such as Gullah Gullah Island, Bubble Guppies, Tania, Winx Club, and many more. RIP 💚

i dont like this narrative that black people dont like the movie or premise because we’re not smart enough or too ignorant to understand. like i really don’t like that at all.
"There were Black people who were triggered by seeing something that they weren't ready to admit to themselves." Justice Smith talks about the focus group reaction to "The American Society of Magical Negroes." bit.ly/3RYJekI

I’ve been doing natural hair for 23 years. This is a falsehood. A fallacy. Pure mendacity. Most of my clients faced the most pushback from their fathers and Black husbands. Y’all not gon’ start rewriting natural hair history on my watch.

Because it depicts a type of documented Black patriarchal violence in arranged marriages and they are not interested in capturing the complexities of even black mens’ own subjectivity under the racia-sexual contract of modernity

The sad truth is that so many ppl love to try and shade someone on their age when aging as a black queer person is nothing short a miracle if you factor in antiblackness and the violence inflicted on us and if you know your history.

Peoples concept of age on this app really is warped. Who is telling yall that being in your 30s is “old?”
And how in the HELL is getting older a joke?

I read 28 books in 2023 for The Free Black Women’s Library Reading Challenge which honestly feels like a low number but I am more so satisfied with the fact that I enjoyed all the books I read.

My review on #TheGildedAge.
Thanks to those who have been liking & commenting on my videos, it was encouraging and fun to see folks engaging w/my content. Outside of it feeling rushed in parts and wanting more for Peggy it was a great season overall!!
