The image this woman chose to illustrate her oppression is Anastácia, an enslaved African in 1700s Brazil. Her mistress ordered that iron spike torture device put to deform her face and squeeze her neck out of rage and jealousy that her husband wouldn't stop raping Anastácia. 1/3

For those who look up info about Anastácia, you’ll see her called “Escrava Anastácia.” “Escrava” isn’t her name. It literally means “Slave” in Portuguese. Slave is not an identity. Enslavement is a crime. Her name is Anastácia. Her name is not the crime committed against her.

The boy is trying to save his mama some money on fees for college apps, scholarships, SAT/ACT/AP etc. $60 here, $75 there, it's still money. Instead of the administrator just saying there's income restrictions for fee waivers, why start talking about my child's summer abroad?

My child is struggling to keep it together during this pandemic like all of us. I chose remote learning to keep her safe, and I understand doing 4th grade on Zoom is difficult. It's also hard for teacher who manages both kids in class and online. But Zoom detention is ridiculous.

I’m still trying to understand how a professor justified calling police on a student because the student didn’t apologize for yelling back when she yelled at her. POLICE. As in, she called law enforcement to bring guns to to the class and drag a student out. For not saying sorry.

Most gay people were born to heterosexual parents in heterosexual relationships. We live in heteronormative societies surrounded, dominated by heterosexuality. If sexual orientation can be influenced by mere contact or proximity, why y’all straight people raising all these gays?

So tired of saying “my girlfriend” and people rewording it as “your friend.” She ain’t a pal, and you damn well know it. If I call her my “scissoring siren” now, the pearl clutching will begin.

Black women have legitimate reasons to side eye white folks “discovering” Mielle hair oil. When brands BW single-handedly kept afloat start chasing white money, they raise prices, change formulas, and erase BW from their image. Remember this disrespectful shit from Shea Moisture?

You know why "civility" and tone police respectability politics is nonsense? This thief hoarding fruits of collective company labor instead of sharing with other co-workers just said the most vulgar, obscene, disrespectful shit to those co-workers softly, without cursing once.

Does that man know how the trip to Italy was funded? And even if my child flew first class to Rome and drove his Maserati from the airport to The Ritz Carlton wearing ten Rolex watches on each wrist, why should a simple question get such a shit-eating response? /end of rant

Examine carefully the words used by an adult white man to describe a 9yo Black child to police. A child he knew, because she’s his neighbor and one of the few Black people living there. Black - out of place WOMAN - adult hoodie - thug, criminal scares me - a threat, dangerous

Republicans said they’ll ban IVF. Here it is. They also said they’ll ban contraception and divorce, so that’s next. Religious fundamentalists are using the law to force their religion on everybody and take away people’s rights. Dictatorships don’t happen overnight or in one move.

The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen, unimplanted embryos qualify as human children under state law. IVF has long been in the crosshairs of the anti-abortion movement, and this unprecedented decision immediately imperils all IVF access throughout Alabama.

Student uprisings have been right on nearly all justice issues in recent history. They were right about civil rights, women’s rights, Vietnam, South Africa, drug war, guns. Now, they’re right to denounce Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and US complicity in the slaughter.

A lesson from this account of how staff at Warere Beach Hotel in Nungwi, Zanzibar raped and robbed a young woman is not “women shouldn’t travel alone.” Women have a right to occupy public space. The lesson is society must assure women’s right to be free and safe in public space.

It’s high time I told my horrible experience in Zanzibar as a young solo female traveler. This incident happened a year ago in April of 2021 but I haven’t been able to talk about it cause I’ve been in therapy for a year to heal from the psychological trauma as this experience

@Lauraonthettc The devil doesn't need an advocate. You just wanna support asshole behavior without looking like an asshole. I didn't send my son for a waiver, he went himself trying to save money like a responsible child. Dude should've just said he doesn't qualify instead of acting like you.

Kevin Samuels told men their worth was in their wallet. He died in a 1BR sublet with less than $1K to his name, no partner, friend, or offspring wiling to claim him, only his poor mother begging and borrowing to bury his loathsome carcass.

This is the story behind our pain. Many people who survived the (1967-1970) holocaust against Igbo people—paid for by the British government—are still alive today. This is living memory.
