Dr. Toya (the reading chemist) - she/her

Looking for more fantasy romance written by Black authors…drop recs or self promote 🫶🏾

I’m genuinely at a loss for correlation here.

@BodegaaCat And everyone is pale colored

No city is clean enough to do this

@Craig31057 @DefiantLs African American is an ethnicity in which you are a Black American whose ancestors were brought to America through the slave trade…so NO. He is NOT African American. Hope this helps.

@DefiantLs Elon Musk is African-American.

“I’m tried of being labeled. I’m American” I love how she stood her ground.

@MsWOCReader Merry Christmas! Your look with those decorations is EVERYTHING 🤩

Merry Christmas!

@KafkaDatura @AIRCATCH3RVINYL @cassesque Also, since when is chocolate Black? It’s not. It’s dark brown or hell even chocolate brown. It’s showing the anti-Blackness built into the language. You’re welcome.

@AIRCATCH3RVINYL @cassesque It's the word for "black" in literally two languages, Spanish and Portuguese. In every other language, it's a racial slur exclusively, and the name of those sweets is directly derived from those racial slurs. Your superior stance regarding knowledge of Europe is laughable.

Here's a translation of various languages for you: Austria: Sweden Bomb Denmark: Cream Bun, formerly [RACIAL SLUR] Belgium: [RACIAL SLUR] Netherlands: [RACIAL SLUR] Germany: Choco-Kiss, Foam-Kiss, or [RACIAL SLUR] UK: Teacakes Slovenia: [RACIAL SLUR] Finland: [RACIAL SLUR]

@ClairinaPaq @offbeatorbit How do you know that humans have a soul? I don’t remember seeing any techniques developed to quantify said phenomenon.

@offbeatorbit Cats and dogs are not humans with souls. Suffering is part of human dignity and ending lives to alleviate suffering is wrong.

You people will treat your cats and dogs with more dignity than your loved ones who are faced with a slow painful death and no hope of their terminal illness improving.

@OA_SOTA @123itsmeMary Why? Why is compassion the best correction especially when your entire identity is distilled down to inferiority and stereotypes?

@123itsmeMary Oh honey, sounds like that co-worker of yours knew how to handle ignorance with grace. Sometimes compassion is the best kind of correction, even when it’s not easy to give.

I used to work at a recovery site. We were passing out Narcan kits for. Yt, Ukranian women asked what is narcan for. I explained it. She said "oh, for Black people." My co-worker jumped in and gave her a care package cause no, you don't have to take harm to do community work.

@RealBudCarlson @NOH8Campaign No. Same sex marriage has been for years in CO (our governor is gay). This is to codify same sex marriage into the constitution just like we voted to codify right to abortion in the constitution. It’s to add more protections for ppl.

@NOH8Campaign Wait, Colorado...COLORADO had a ban on same sex marriage? That's like, so 10 years ago. For the record, I'm a conservative/constitutionalist/libertarian - good for CO. I'm here in Iowa and people got all up in arms when it was made legal here and I was like STFU dumbasses

BREAKING: #Colorado votes to remove same-sex marriage ban from state constitution #NOH8

@FaatiTheStreet @ProfSunnySingh This isn’t entirely accurate. There are 3.5 million registered Arab American voters, and if they all voted for Kamala, that still would not have closed the gap for just the popular vote. Also, Trump won the electoral college as well, which has nothing to do with us.

@ProfSunnySingh Nobody hated us more than this lady and it was so strange to see considering how much she needed our votes to win. I’m still of the thought that winning wasn’t the point, division and pushing people towards the right was the point. Because a Dick Cheney endorsement, really?

As US liberals inc press start blaming Arab/Muslim Americans for Democrats and Harris’s electoral defeat, a reminder: yes the genocide was key factor. But Biden/Harris/DNC also presided over the brutalisation of protesters. That state violence is also a factor 1/2

I’m genuinely confused as to why Pro-Palestinians are chalking up Kamala’s loss to funding genocide when Trump also did the same thing and will continue to do so. This election was about misogynoir. Full stop.

authors who pretend to be BIPOC frequently employ fear and intimidation to suppress challenges to their identity, esp from actual BIPOC folk —

@noreenmughees @MsWOCReader It’s that proximity to whiteness and success. I’d rather drown.

@MsWOCReader @reading_chemist I’m surprised at BiPOC authors speaking for them. Like wut? You could just let this go, I don’t get it.

My thing with the whole Colby Wilkens drama is she lied about being registered, presented herself as a BIPOC authority while not living an indigenous life, and has taken opportunities away from underrepresented authors. But everyone is silent and afraid she'll expose them.

@noreenmughees @MsWOCReader Yep. The white folks still benefit…every single time.

@reading_chemist @MsWOCReader But if this was a brown person though there’d be so much discourse canceled book deals etc. smh…

@MsWOCReader I had the exact same thing happen. Let her fall.

I've been blocked because ironically years ago she tried to correct me on not calling a white person a white passing person.

@pot8um When it shifted to endemic (late last year/early this year) in the way that malaria is endemic to certain areas of the world.

When did the pandemic end?

@drclairetaylor I use an electric kettle for tea. I have a coffee maker for coffee and an espresso maker as well.
