i still can’t believe some people never had to work at Wendy’s — or like, the mall — or like autozone or a gas station or anything at all. they just went to college and then got an office job and that’s the only work they’ve ever known omg
i wish bears could chew through this cursed wall. their natural migration patterns are being disrupted by this manmade monstrosity. take it back mr. bear!!
as non-black women of color when we actively continue dating black men who clearly express their internalized racism against black women by placing us on a scale as "the better option" we are complicit in racism/racist dynamics/colorism and that's THAT on that
I support making ALL OF US in the United States uncomfortable for the rest of our days — from politicians to regular civilians. Why? Our governments are bankrolling genocide and our politicians (and some of us) are playing mute. Keep up the interruptions as far as i’m concerned
an ode to latine heritage month: friendly reminder that for the longest i thought this was a mexican video — the kid is venezuelan and he’s pissed someone ate his cake, not his sandwich 🥪
unfortunate most people don’t realize that plantains are deathly toxic to humans one bite can release very dangerous neurotoxins that can even cause you to spasm and start speaking a brand new language even if you’ve never heard that language before truly people need to stop buyi
reminder that environmental racism is a very real thing. it’s never a coincidence where these large corporations choose to place their factories and dumping grounds alike, not just in the US but abroad too. it’s all strategic and with purpose.
meanwhile a six year old Palestinian boy was stabbed in Chicago. a Sikh teenager was harassed w attempt to pull his turban off in NYC. a student at Stanford was hit by a 4-runner in an anti-Arab hate crime. A Washington mom was stabbed in a TX park for being Muslim.
Wondering what it’s like to be a Jew in Melbourne these days? At my tram stop last week in my Jewish neighbourhood; a call to destroy the world’s only Jewish state.
let’s remember that this quarantine is going to last months not *just* because there are people who have no need to be going out as usual and continue to do so but *also* because our government failed to prepare and fails to perform their service as public servants
rice and beans together create a complete protein. bay leaves are added to beans to tenderize them and aid in general digestion, like they would do if added to ANY food. bay leaves give your rice flavor. that’s it.

Kendrick Lamar, also known as K. Dot, is a contemporary hip hop artist queen of the genre, won a Pulitzer Prize for the acclaimed album DAMN. promotes mentorship by men for young men and gives $$ back to his community earning him the key to Compton! who are you?
I really do wonder what the people who “don’t know what to make” of this situation think when they see demonstrations this large in the US but also in South Africa, Lebanon, Colombia, Spain, Jordan, Chile, Mexico — surely you must think to yourself something’s going on here

black women have been saying this loud and clear but us nonblack women have to absolutely call each other out. I’m waiting for the wannabe kim k fashionnova baddie i-date-Black-men-for-the-aesthetic part of twitter to find me at this point
crying my eyes out at a video of a Palestinian baby who showed up late to food distribution and so the other babies share their food with him so he has enough. i will never forgive those in power and the people who couldn’t even be moved to speak out about this once for this
The top comment reads: "It's better if you delete the post.. Gives us a bad name... EDIT: not because I care about that Gazan woman, I wouldn't care if she never sees the light of day again, I care about the soldier who could be put on trial, and about the IDF's reputation".
also if you’re a man getting offended by this you’re missing the point entirely and I would recommend a special drink called nuance and perspective. if the shoe does not fit do not force it on. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
hey if you’re in San Antonio, Texas please check out Sunshine Bakery — the owner is a young Mexican-american woman who really does the most for the east side of San Anto and i’d love to get her lots of new clientele 💗

furthermore this isn’t a new topic or something that has come out of the blue. pay attention to how this has been received when BW have exhausted the topic in the past (rightfully so) vs how it’s received when I say it as a nb woc. all part of my point.
the family WhatsApp group is already spreading videos about how covid-19 is made up and man-made and fear is the real disease 🥴 immigrant kids we got a handful in taking care of our parents huh
yikes and as I said I’m singling out nonblack women of color like myself uh — if what you get from this is “don’t date black men” as a nonblack person on this thread .... that is NOT it ... and you’ve missed the point ... like, all of it
caveat that this is directly to nonblack women of color on *my end*; meaning if you’re black and you want to quote tweet this w your perspective and take the conversation there, that’s totally your prerogative. I am directly posing criticism 2 other nb woc bc it’s a space I know
those people who are obsessed with “the law of attraction” and “speak positivity only” who shove that mentality down your throat to the point of you being unable to showcase any emotion outside of appreciation and happiness really drain me
fun fact, Latin America hosts the largest population of Japanese folks outside of Japan (Brazil, and also Japanese-Peruvian communities come to mind) — also back in the day La Orquesta de La Luz was a popular salsa group of all Japanese folks (-:
being raised in a household that valued community is the reason why i don’t have a tight purse when it comes to folks who need financial help. the way i view money is, it flows. i donate what i can and don’t expect shit in return. i just think everyone should be able to eat lol
These are the owners of Fiji Water.
Whilst many Fijians languish in abject poverty, this couple funnel millions to the Israeli Defense Forces from profits of water they've stolen from us Fijians.
Someone in Fiji is getting paid off. Can PM
@slrabuka
tell us who it is?
I find it comical that the group I am addressing, aka nonblack women of color who partake in the antics mentioned above, have not come at me sideways lmao but everyone else unrelated has (-: if you have unresolved internalized issues deal with that on your own TL! mute tweet.
the legal status of the family who died here in tx shouldn’t fucking matter yet the husband of one of the victims felt compelled to share her green card. imagine winning your asylum case against extreme odds and the governor of Texas berates your memory after death
@noxko1080
I can hear them now lmao “black women dont even LIKE us they’re always HATING!” as they attempt their hardest to literally mimic trends black women started
i have had hyperpigmentation under my armpits since puberty it doesn’t take many brain cells to recognize that this doesn’t correlate to a lack of hygiene you fuckin ingrates
esta gente anda más perdida en los comentarios — una mujer como Karla Souza habla inglés sin acento y ningún gringo se imaginaría que es Mexicana hasta que ella misma lo clarificara, ósea pónganse serios por favor. tiene piel color leche de almendra y ojos azul-verdes … please
these people absolutely need to stop saying “Latina” when they specifically mean “mexican-american” because it’s getting really tired and old already 🥴
latinos talking about the importance of language bringing us all together as if we don’t all have fifty different words for JUST saying “popcorn” yeah so much unity i feel so unified and familial with every single one of you fuckers just through language, absolutely
@sadgirlririh
8-10ish; I have hyperpigmentation around my armpits (and other parts of my body) and I’d make a mix sodium bicarbonate with a bit of lemon and use it as deodorant (ouch if I shaved first) hoping to god it would lighten my armpits !! never happened but I no longer give af
@kthanks_
@emoblackthot
I appreciate the sentiment but it blows major ass that this even needs to be said when literally black women exhaust this topic to death and everyone accuses them of envy/aggression. but when I say it it’s received more lightly. Not blaming you specifically at all,just in general
i don’t like when people tell me to swiftly “get over things” i am a sensitive individual and i will sit with my feelings until i am ready to assess what i learned from them. then i’ll let them go
apparently there’s a white family on TikTok from Ohio who bought an octopus for their son because he’s in love with octopuses and the octopus hatched fifty eggs and they’re trying to figure out what to do by having to engage aquariums and marine biologists but
hi if you’re in need of jeans Levi’s is doing a 75% off warehouse sale all u gotta do is register ur email 👀 I got a pair of $98 for $16 without shipping
showed my boyfriend this tweet and he took his glasses off, his eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and he goes “my love. this is not healthy … or normal” 😭
Tonight's drone show in New York City in support of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, suffered a major malfunction as the drones took off out of sync and began falling into the Hudson River. Most landed but the show was cancelled

not to mention, as far as Latinas go, nonblack Latinas love labeling ourselves as like an exotic commodity while also finding the time to erase black Latinas and I’m just like ... stop that u ding dongs but anywho that’s another topic altogether I’m done
i have a Barbie themed brunch tomorrow and i went bananas and bought a literal selkie pink gown and now i’m debating wearing it because it’s the most over the top thing ever but then i’m also like? it’s a Barbie themed brunch 😳 will she or won’t she
@maxine_tran
oh my god big facts 🤦🏽♀️ when we find ourselves being uplifted by being called “foreign” it’s just code for “you’re lighter skinned and that’s the better alternative” like. no. full pause.
nonblack people we are so motherfucking embarrassing and in every single sense of the word, the way this absentminded b*tch said what she said all while using a broke, raggedy attempt at “AAVE” with all the confidence in the world — “i have a black daughter” — que pena
the one zionist i know quietly stopped posting things in support of the zionist entity as the months went by and went about their life posting as if nothing is happening. as if they weren’t posting egregiously racist, Islamophobic and anti-Arab bile just recently.
i used to feel bad or unproductive or lacking in ambition admitting to myself and telling folks i don’t have a dream career path. i don’t. i’m content doing work that pays me a great wage and gives me the time and space to have hobbies and spend time with my loved ones.
me explaining to my friends with two parents that have had a job each and will get to retire if they aren’t retired already why it’s a little more difficult for me to save:
i wish i was exaggerating when i said my partner cooks for me everyday. every weekend we plan meals for the week, he lets me choose out of our cookbooks, then we get groceries. and every day he cooks for us — if i ask for something else and it’s in the house, he makes it
out of curiosity: would you guys agree or disagree with me that the ability to put money aside for travel in any capacity is in itself a privilege? i think it is, in any circumstance.
y’all ever try giving a man the time of day because he’s attractive but he says the most baseless, immature, pointless, empty, surface level shit and you just — you can’t continue.
At this point if you sincerely can’t see how these issues are interconnected and how they’re being used to create boogeymen to justify more of our tax dollars beefing up the violence we already have at the border with CBP, DPS, and national guard armed to the teeth. Well—
this is fascism. your entire life in the US you’re taught about how in other countries like venezuela and cuba and north korea “you can’t speak ill of certain politicos or you’ll pay a price” yeah, sure buddy. and uh — it’s happening here in the US in the Lone Star State so, uh —
This professor criticized Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in class.
A politically connected student told her mom.
Within two hours, Texas A&M’s chancellor was texting Dan Patrick directly to let him know the professor had been suspended pending an investigation.
as you can see, posters like these are being used to inflate numbers of cases of “antisemitism” when in reality — chants for a free Palestine are NOT antisemitic.
i would however argue that conflating the two does in take away from very real antisemitism that exists in the west.
the reality is the zionist entity has been and is one of the most hated “countries” in the world — the only reason it’s lasted this long is truly because of US and UK and Canadian collusion and backing
In Athens and a Greek shop vendor at the markets gifted me this upon finding out I’m Palestinian. He was like “this to use at them” (the occupiers) 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
@bennetwithaj
NO GIRL it’s a meme lmaoooo there’s a famous meme about oxtails “being bad” so that people will stop buying it and pricing it up and I wanted to make a joke about plantains lol
i did it! the credit cart debt i had been carrying since 2017 is officially paid off. it feels like a massive hunk of weight lifted off my shoulders. a lot of that debt amassed because my mom was unemployed and all i had was the credit card
ugly when people judge folks in abusive relationships for “not leaving” — there’s psychology behind why, and the human brain is too complex for the rest of us to lack empathy and sit on our high horses pretending we could never be in the same situation
i’d drive them there, give them money without expecting it back ever, and i’d help them with any aftercare they needed if an abortion was what they wanted and they needed support. yes.
my mom saw me taking a pill and asked what it was and i told her birth control and she got deathly quiet. latine parents are something else. woman, i’m four away from thirty cut that chord already, i’m begging
non-black latinas let’s stop being embarrassing hold each other accountable and teach our kids and young family members better so this awful ass racist commentary does not so frequently repeat itself challenge
influencers need to become an obsolete class yesterday how dare she utter the words “we’ve been fed this narrative in the US” after being paid to run shein propaganda … dan asco
