FAFSA is fucked up because it assumes that parents are taking financial responsibility for their children’s education. Higher Ed in general needs major reform. If 18 is the age of adulthood, why are you relying on parents income to determine eligibility

Stay the FUCK OUT of black neighborhoods if you can’t take the social norms of blackness. We like cookouts and music, we like fellowship. We’re expressive. Gentrification gets on my damn nerves, the unmitigated entitlement and insensitivity

Y’all are disgusting. If you don’t have the capacity to love your son if he’s feminine and gay, then you don’t deserve the gift of children. If you think LGBT children don’t deserve compassion and agency then you’re trash. It’s so easy to live in love yet people default to hate

Straight black people rarely discuss sexual health and accountability unless vilifying gay men, demonizing bisexual men, and slut-shaming women. Many of your wellness practices are flawed. Shut the fuck up.

If Valentine's Day triggers you for whatever reason, I hope you're able to make it through today. Bad experiences, trauma, abuse, low self-concept, etc can all resurface on holidays like this. Love and partnership is a BEAUTIFUL thing but being single doesn't mean you're invalid.

I’m uncomfortable with the narrative that homophobic men are “secretly” gay. While some people process identity conflict through negative projection, it trivializes homophobia and the deleterious impact it can have. Anti-gayness is still violent

Cashapp can be VERY convenient but it also doesn’t sit well with me that a private enterprise can behave like a bank without any federal oversight or protection. Please use it as a means to exchange money but not STORE funds.

Beyoncé evolved from sloppy pentatonic runs and oversinging to being very meticulous about placement. Her vocal production developed from triadic clusters and inversions to the use of seventh chords and tensions, clusters, and spread voicings. I use Beyoncé in theory classes

We tell women to leave violent scenarios, say no, and/or walk away. When do we address the violent nature of men when told no. When do we teach men to handle rejection and respect choice? We default to victim blaming.
