The birds might have found my blackberries. Oh no

This is a portrait I painted of one of many heroes of mine from the Civil Rights movement. The Rev. James Zwerg, circa 1961. He was one of the Freedom Riders, along with John Lewis, William Barbee, Catherine Burks, and many others, who pulled into Montgomery, AL on a bus May 20, 1961. He volunteered to step off first. The mob was waiting with baseball bats, chains, and clubs. They beat him until three of his vertebrae cracked, his nose broke, and every tooth in his head was fractured. They beat him unconscious on the pavement. A Black stranger in coveralls walked up and said, “Stop beating that kid. If you want to beat someone, beat me.” And they did. He saved Zwerg’s life. White ambulances refused to take him. He lay in the street for over an hour. That is the moment I painted. Bloodied suit. Head bowed. At Martin Luther King Jr.’s urging, Zwerg later went to seminary and was ordained in the United Church of Christ. Rev. Zwerg is now 86 and lives in Tucson, Arizona. His courage and conviction, alongside that of countless others, helped save this nation. These are the people I celebrate as we near our 250th anniversary as a nation.

Who does pixies in Nashville that’s not hundreds of dollars

I’m not at all from Atlanta, but I know this heat ain’t normal bc that’s what historical record shows. Pissed me off when people try to tell me it’s always been like that. How is that the case when the heat breaks records every summer???? Argue with a spreadsheet! 😭

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

CONGRATS to me @nyknicks!

School’s out for summer!!! That means #OpSnack is about to be in full swing. We are down to ZERO snacks/meal items after giving the rest out to the kids living at Travel Inn. This weekend we need 50 people to donate $50 to help us do a full restock. PayPal.me/littlemissflint810 We will be making around 4,000 snack/meal bags this summer.

0/50 donors so far.

FIFA is pathetic for just allowing things like this to happen like its nothing

It’s a test. Make sure you Fail it with flying colors.

Ageism is only used to discuss the marginalization of the elderly but rarely addresses the mass marginalization of the youth.

Makeup last night was so cute. Heavy highlight is back for me.

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

What if I start thumbs downing these random ‘godly’ posts in the extended family group chat
