Lmao. Honestly you start with wanting to make one small change but then you realized it’s all connected and systemic and you have to fight the entire system.
I don’t care what anyone says, they changed the name and tried to pretend like nothing happened. It’s always been Berenstein. They can play on someone else’s phone but the Noeth remembers
“Uh oh. Are you okay?! It’s okay. I make mistakes sometimes too. We have to be careful because this is glass and you could get cut. How about you go get momma the broom and dust pan so I clean this since it is unsafe. Then you can tell me what you were trying to do”
So one of my second cousins has spent the last two nights at my house. He’s 8, autistic, and I got an entire prologue from his side of the family when he asked if he could stay and I said yes. “____ is something else child. Are you sure? He going to run you grey.….”
This is HILARIOUS.
The View host Sunny Hostin who wants to force YOU to pay slavery reparations, finds out she’s the descendant of slave-owners.
Gonna be giving away all your millions now, Sunny? 😂
I once got paid $100 to pick cotton on a plantation for a Thomas Jefferson documentary. I got hyper focused on the process and started picking too fast. They asked me to slow down cause they next scene was me being moved to the house. I still have the W-2
I get it though. I think she doesn’t want to be an entrepreneur, she just wants change. She wants to dance and do what she loves and feel included without having to be an entrepreneur.
This frustrates me bc she has been in the struggle for so long. I wish she would partner with a shoe brand to provide shoes for black and brown dancers. I need her to lean into her superstardom
they say this sarcastically, but i cant recall a single show with an autistic character who isnt a "super genius" or has some sort of superhuman power and knowledge
This is how many cultures do parenting outside of westernized parenting. It’s also how those of us who migrated or were forced to into westernized civilization traditionally parented. It’s why the saying “it takes a village exist.
This a perfect example of what I mean when I say I don’t fight over men/women but my fight, flight, freeze or fawn response comes out over disrespect. Cause…..
Soooo, Riley’s autism manifest in anxiety and reduced motor skills. Her father has been working so hard to help her learn to walk. We were really worried. And today, 🗣SHE TOOK HER FIRST STEPS!!!!!!
I’m so damn proud of and in love with my baby Daddy
Lmao. I was fully on the “y’all tripping. It’s not that deep train” However, watching this video I wonder. Beyoncé says, “look around everybody on mute” and then an entire stadium of people are dead silent. What makes you want to break it?
Not only is this true, (I fact checked) it fed her because she couldn’t get any roles after Martin for 10 years because people only saw her as Pam. Wow
Lmao. When I tell you the signs were always there.
“I don’t understand how gold digger is an insult in a capitalist society? Everyone is a gold digger. Thats the economy” - Me in college
He told me today, “ I feel comfortable here cause y’all make autism feel fun”
I told him, “it can be whatever we make of it. It’s part of you but not all of you just like being a boy or being Black”
Y’all, he been an angel. Like he’s so gentle and patient with the other 4 girls (Paris, Riley, and two cousins) I have here. He likes attention. He likes to be considered and he has strong opinions. We get along just fine.
I recommend everyone make a list of 911 alternatives for different emergencies they can reference in time of crisis. I made one back when Defund the Police really started picking up steam and Twitter was sharing a lot of alternatives
It’s makes me remember the Les Twins talking about how she’s jealous she can’t meet regular fans out on the streets anymore. She’s the celebrity to celebrities. She can’t even know peace around them. Having a meet and greet line queuing at the Grammys is wild,
I guess my cousin told him Paris and Riley are autistic but didn’t tell him I was autistic. When I told him. He said, “oh. That’s why you are like that”
I said, “like what?”
He said, “Different than other adults”
Anyway that’s why when I say misbehavior is communicating unmet needs I put misbehavior in “”. Cause sometimes what some of you adults think is misbehavior is just children looking for autonomy, having opinions, or being naturally curious
“I don’t take advice from men…
Advice from men (even successful ones) are often not applicable to women.. especially mothers”
What do you think about this??
Also this is a perfect example of what I mean when I say twerking/booty shaking wasn’t sexualized when I was young. We would booth shake with our family: cousins, siblings, friends.
Like that’s his family on that stage. He’s just hyping them up.
This is why I get frustrated when y’all challenge when sex education should be taught. Too much abstinence teaching and not enough teaching of sex function, hygiene, and contraception
I know we not a monolith but all those Black people asking fiftyleven questions and staying seated when people are charging for the exit of a plane in this climate is making my jaw hurt
spa treatments, facials, massages, house cleaning (deep cleaning).... self care services.
Cause if they ask for nothing, they usually the "strong" friend and need self care.
When I say that the lack of imagination, creativity, and hope from just constantly surviving hold us back, I mean, the fact that you can be a Tommy Hilfiger archivist but your in school to be a doctor cause that’s what make money
If I’m a white child in school and I’m fixated and struggling to transition, I have tunnel vision and I’m autistic
If I’m a Black child in school and I’m fixated and struggling to transition, I’m Oppositional, Defiant, a behavior problem. No IEP but I have a behavioral plan
sometimes what some of you adults think is misbehavior is just children sensory seeking, sensory avoiding, executive dysfunction, communication issues, social confusion, rejection sensitivity dysphoria..etc
The cafeteria servers are kinda busy doing their job of serving the food in the cafeteria to the other 400 kids, -food for which they are legally responsible for the contents- and now you want one of them to blindly distribute 400 outside orders done by 400 kids w/ any food app?
All side of my family think this 8 year old is some type of problem child and he’s just a black boy who wants to be considered and asked his opinion. Who like to know what’s happening and share how he feels.
Sometimes it’s better to listen and ask questions rather than react & tell. Especially when it comes to identity subjects and toddlers. These are huge concepts but they have foundation elements.
Here is Riley telling me she’s a boy for the 4th time.
This is exactly what I mean about shame, guilt and judgement getting in the way of finding solutions and problems solving.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda
“I think no one should comment a divorce lawyer bc of how evil and shallow this is”
So you want those children to deal with that?
I think the “men are ugly” jokes have more to do with (the majority) of men not taking care of themselves and less to do with enhancements.
Most Men don’t have skincare routines, run maintenance on hair outside their head and beard, run maintenance on nails, etc
As a Black Person who wants to make change… part of that change for me is not every Black person having to be a revolutionary. I don’t want little Black girls to have to be Little Miss Flint. I want them to be able to post plant & pictures on IG
She is a whole human. Not just a mother and a wife. It is absolutely healthy to have a break from that after 6 years of mothering, pregnancy, postpartum etc.
Do you agree that those three words together have a sexual connotation? 🤨 Catch up on a new episode of
#ReadyToLove
now on DVR, On Demand, and the Watch OWN app!
Some of y’all call kids “bad” when y’all don’t know how to assess & identify when a kid needs something other than what you are providing.
But I ain’t one to gossip…
