Here I am, again, reminding everyone that
@AsiaSimone405
and I worked on a brand new graphic novel based on the award-winning Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur animated series.
Out 4/2/24
Preorder 🔗:
Disney+ users have been hacked.
The hackers have stolen thousands of customer accounts, days after the launch of the service, and are selling the accounts on the dark web.
All Chadwick Boseman gave us in the last four years. Knowing he was sick. I can’t even begin to express gratitude, let alone the anguish. Thank you doesn’t even feel like enough, but I do thank him. I hope he rests well. I hope those close to him find comfort.
My husband and I made the mistake of going to our child’s restaurant for date night. The waiter keeps coming back saying our food will be ready in 15 mins.
It’s been 60. The whole Paw Patrol crew came in after us, ate, didn’t even pay, and then left.
The moment ⚪️ people decide you aren’t, in fact, the “safe” Black person who fits into their warped character box, they cancel that humanity subscription they barely gave you real quick.
I remember a year ago around this time my husband told me that he had created wordpress accounts on the low so that he could leave me encouraging comments when I had decided to blog to help with my postpartum depression. That’s a love a never knew I could know.
I remember my dad got extremely upset with me when I refused to make breakfast on a Saturday morning. His response to me was “some wife you’re going to make”.
I was 12.
When I bring instances like this up to him or my mom when they complain about my brothers they get quiet.
My grandma referred to Megan Thee Stallion as “the young woman who could raise Lazarus from the dead” after watching a video of her dancing on stage.
This is the only time I’ve been happy that my grandma is on FB and somehow a video of Megan ended up on her FB news feed.
Abbott Elementary and South Side are two shows that make me so excited not only because they’re top tier, but their mere existence by extension of their creators says, “yeah, there is space for what you want to do too.”
Trying to fall back to sleep after a near heart attack from what I thought was asleep paralysis demon but was actually my child staring me down in the dark whispering “mommy” until I woke up
Consuming Black trauma like this online and in our own personal lives offline at this level is unsustainable. I don’t really care what anyone thinks. If you’re feeling weary and tired that’s valid. It’s okay to not be okay. You aren’t a robot. This shit fucking hurts.
“Ororo, can you hear me? My name is Professor Charles Xavier. I’m putting together a school for gifted individuals just like you. You wanna get flewed out?”
I guess my child must be throwing a secret house party I wasn’t supposed to know about. There were a bunch of 4-year-olds walking up to me today when I picked him up telling me they were coming to our home on Monday.
Our son (5yo) asked us how we met a few days ago. We told him on BlackPlanet, to which he replied:
“Black planet? How long did you live there? Why did you leave?”
He was dead serious until we explained it was a place on the Internet 😭
*Justice League press conference is interrupted by Brainiac on some bullshit*
Superman: *flys off*
Wonder Woman: *flys off*
Flash: *just got on the scene*
Green Lantern: *flys off*
Batman:
“Hey could you maybe turn your music down a little? I’m not saying I don’t like, I LOVE DaBaby. Suge is straight fire, but you know building rules and all. Thanks, man. You’re one of the good ones.”
It was uncomfortable af watching these men in their big age gaslight Lil Nas X knowing damn well they knew wtf he was saying was valid. Kevin Hart’s “hate what?” was a hit dog hollering at the top of its lungs.
If you look at how many non-black writers voiced their opinions on what happened last night and then looked at how they treat black characters in their works, it all checks out.
I’m rooting for everyone black*
*everyone black who is in full support of EVERYONE else who is black. So if you’re practicing misogynoir, transphobia, homophobia, and so on, I don’t see it for you.
4yrold: mommy, let’s pray.
Me:...what’s going on?
4yrold: *deep toddler sigh* I was thinking maybe...*sighs again* maybe we could pray you give me back my tablet.
Me:
RE: EBT cards and healthy food discourse
One day I hope we fully divest ourselves from feeling as though we have a right to control what the poor do or don’t do.
It’s tired. Pack it up.
