I’ve said it before but in retrospect, the most visible celebrity on the planet choosing to center poor afro-latine & indg-latine folk in the visuals for a song about systemic racism & police brutality in 1996 is so ahead of its time.
So... ummm... has anyone stated the obvious? They are increasing funding for military & policing to pounce on the inevitable social ramifications of the forced decline in quality of life from the institutional neglect & genocidal policies.
Do you agree that those three words together have a sexual connotation? 🤨 Catch up on a new episode of

I appreciate that it was written in a way that would trigger responses that highlight exactly why y’all are very susceptible to ending up in cults. Lmfao.
listen i know cults are NEVER a good thing. but eva made her cult seem so peaceful and she seemed like she cared about all those girls. especially dre. she had good points about her always being on her phone along with her trauma. billie eilish played tf out of eva!!

I am still genuinely upset about how this video came and went. The adulation lasted for about 48hours then it was the next hot topic. How music is consumed now (super fast) makes me sad. This video would’ve topped TRL/106nPark for ages.
“You can’t give ya pussy to a nigga who not used to getting pussy cuz that pussy gone be errbody business. You can’t break bread w these these niggas/give head to these niggas. They ungrateful, lil mama. That’s bad for business.” 2nd BbyMutha 4:12
Prince Harry says he and Meghan will have 2 kids "maximum" due to environmental concerns, according to an interview in

Having one less child is the most effective way to reduce your carbon footprint, said a 2017 study. It saves about 58 tons of CO2/year.
This story is so sad. He passed of natural causes & based on how they found him, he seemed to have known he was going to die. His community was murdered over the course of decades by ranchers for their land. He was literally alone. My god.
She touched on something very important here which leads me to say something I don’t think is emphasized enough w all the people who have co-opted (yea, I said it)language about decentering men. Decentering men is a communal project, not an individual one.
Black women deserve to live life abundantly but our world and communities continue to fail us.
RIP Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells, Riah Milton & Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau.
3 black women found dead in the span of a week.
A gentle reminder that making the rest of us watch in agony as they annihilate a people is also part of the intentional psychic terror of imperialist violence.
sorry I keep repeating myself but I want the discourse on modifications to progress. This look is hyperfeminization/dollification/bimboification. It’s roots is w t femmes, sex workers , kinksters & women from countries where being doll like =better survival.
I want women to keep asking “what is in this for me?” because for as long as patriarchy exists, you are the one who should be asking, mamas. Not the other way around.
So if your granny’s grandma was enslaved, the egg (that would become your granny) in utero was in your enslaved great great grandma’s body. Thus your body is made of cells that were literally in an enslaved person’s body WHILE they were enslaved.
The trauma of slavery & genocide (& all other oppression & trauma) being “in your DNA” is not some woowoo abstract concept. It is materially tangible. Biologically tangible. Your body is made of cells that were in the body of a person surviving terrorism.
Y’all gotta stop teaching girls this protector and provider nonsense. Men wouldn’t have to “provide” if the world’s resources weren’t hoarded by men. Women do more provision anyway [of labor]. Men are who women mainly need protecting from.
How many more years of us explaining the black dominant populations in the Caribbean are descendants of enslaved Africans displaced in chattel slavery just like Black Americans, Lorde?
Who are the photographers she works with? She is stunning regardless but I also want to praise the photographers who always capture her beauty in ways that are just breathtaking.
If this is something y’all experience PLEASE get examined by a competent psychiatrist. This is an indication of PMDD which might be undiagnosed nuerodivergence or a sign that you need biochemical intervention to relieve your endocrine system.
I really wish y’all would stop underestimating the unrelenting hatred for BW& girls. This happens every time a BM artist is called out for harming BW. People make an extra effort to show folk that they will support them.
It brings me so much joy for her to able to witness yet another generation fighting for liberation and truly embracing her it intellectual contributions. I think of all the BW we lost long before they could be elders.
Any conversation where there’s a blatant statement about what to do to change appearance instead of thoughtful & concerned inquiries about possible reasons there are changes in appearance whether or not the person is even interested in changing it is a no.
Not, cannot. Will not. We need to burn shit down. Seriously. Work strikes. Block roads and railways. We need to make the global north fall to its knees.
I’m so angry. Because what can we even do???? We’ve GLOBALLY condemned , we’ve marched but these sick sick greedy corrupt spineless people in power cannot even stop a GENOCIDE.
We JUST started having multiple women rappers chart again and LOOK. Look at how the men are responding.
They hate women so much. Ugly asses.
They had nothing to say about 173 cave creatures mumbling about lean over trap beats for years.
Megan thee Stallion reveals she’s currently not focused on releasing new music in a new interview with InStyle.
“Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place. I’m focused on healing."
I wish more diagrams included fuller/curvier bodies. But to clarify what I’ve said in the past, even people w fuller hips (skeletal &/or fat distribution) have a slope below the iliac crest. For some it’s a deeper dip/ dimple but we all have a bit of a slope.
“I’ll always love you. But I’ll never expect you to love me if you don’t love yourself. Let’s heal the world one beautiful action at a time. This is real love.”
— Beyoncé in new surprise song “MY HOUSE”
All jokes aside. Y’all be calling christophene brown “the next MJ” when he actually followed Usher’s blueprint and still managed not to even be the next usher lmaooooooo
Hope y’all give it a rest in 2020.
All this “I didn’t know I r*ped someone.” stuff. We have the studies that confirmed that when you use soft language men will readily admit to r*pe. They know. They just don’t like being *called* rapists.
Reminder that “survival of the fittest” is not actual Darwinian theory. It’s social “Darwinism”, a eugenicists project created by racists years after Darwin died.
I don't give a shit what you believe about "survival of the fittest" without kindness and empathy human beings would have completely wiped each other out before we could have ever evolved beyond that.
Y’all need to stop blaming ALL men for your trash experience with them. So let’s change the saying from “All men are trash” to “The men in my life are trash.”
Be critical of who you allow in your circle.
Fitness is a form of body modification and I will always engage it as such. Folk are not being honest because of fatphobia and the moral postering attached to working out lol
Since we always talking bout what’s natural and what’s not, have we ever considered the idea that if I have to go the gym for my body to look a certain way then that’s not how my body is NATURALLY designed to look.
The responses to this is a reminder that these folk do not advocate going to the gym for health but so they can prove they “discipline” their bodies through a fatphobic logic. They are bullying a power lifter for simply being in a fuller (& stronger) body.
This her parents’ fault. You see a nasty, mean spirited, r*pist loving woman and her minions having a meltdown for 2 days non-stop & insert your minor into it for hyper visibility. Come on, now.
Obvious commentary aside.
I will always find it fascinating how early girls are aware of the tropes that exist in cishet marriag & how it manifests in play.
1. They are getting covid. They just don’t disclose that info to the public until they’re dead or so ill that it hinders them from working.
2. Wealthy people have extensive protocol from filters to light sanitizers to mandatory testing for staff ect.
Cupcake used to be homeless. She used to do survival SW. She gives away money all the time because she truly understands what it’s like to not have any. Same with Belcalis. Same with Lil Nas.
Lmaoo they wanted to make EINSTEIN the president of israel in 1948 and he refused and compared them to Nazis? 😂😂😂 my god, the zionists were desperate for the legitimacy of their fascist violence.
Neither. Use it. Actively. Intentionally. Consistently. To make right what’s wrong with existing in a culture/system that affords you whatever privilege that may be. Guilt, shame & apologies do nothing for the oppressed.
Folk are arguing about whether or not it’s her hair.
My only comment is I wish length for black girls didn’t have to be what validates them when having kinkier hair. Even if it was 2 inches long, it’s still beautiful.
Most commercials (& media) with B&W interracial families feature a BM & WW. Didn’t hear y’all complaining then. Now that we have about 3 commercials with BW& WM, y’all are seething lmao
