@quarantino8 @ask_aubry You preached a whole damn sermon in this tweet! Thank you!

@ask_aubry They lied to us that men are protectors and providers, that its our fault if we picked wrong, that we just need to be sweeter and more submissive and that will unlock good behavior from a man Men provide abuse, grief, struggle and stress. Men protect their own interests. We done.

Is life better if you have a great partner versus being single? Yes! But is being single better than being with a bad partner, hell yes!

@ask_aubry This is not the flex she thinks it is. At least she said the quiet part out loud — and last — so we know exactly what we’re dealing with. Also — DaFAQ is “prescription meth?” 🤷🏾‍♀️

Just slide that racism right in lady.

@tify330 @JTaylorSkinner The use of “eclectic” here seemed so over the top, at least in this context. Then I read the “…that normally would never work together” part, and realize it’s a bit of a soft brag to indicate they worked together this time because of him. Or maybe I’m overthinking it.🤷🏾‍♀️

@JTaylorSkinner He had eclectic group of 30

@YonceVocals AF

@PirateWenchArt @notcapnamerica Not Talcum X!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Just saw this comment on another post and seems appropriate here: “The scream I scromed!”

Shaun King is on Instagram taking credit for the American hostages being released and claims he’s working “behind the scenes” on a ceasefire LMFAOOOOO!!!!

@LakotaMan1 Sending you love, light, and much respect and appreciation. ❤️☀️🙏🏽

I send you good energy. And an abundance of love and light. I will not lie. I could really use some in return. Pilamaya (thank you.)

@jparkABC @ABC Is this who you want representing you? Do better.

@jparkABC Resign immediately. You’re a disgrace to @ABC News.

@jparkABC Hey @ABC y'all cool with this behavior from your employees?

@jparkABC Hello @ABC. Do you condone your reporters acting like this?

@Batchevana @simplyjennifer @ask_aubry @DarkTunnock @ClaireAllan Ditto. And all of those relative were the same ones that, when I cried foul after their ‘antics’, said “you’re too sensitive.”

@simplyjennifer @ask_aubry @DarkTunnock @ClaireAllan Oh look, it’s all the relatives I had as a child whom I don’t speak to as an adult. Now ask me why I don’t trust people in general.

A difference of consent and empathy. That little boy understands kindness so much more than these other 'moms'.

@EdenConnor @ask_aubry Also 62, and find myself wondering the same.

@ask_aubry Just once before I die, I want to know what it feels like to have the confidence of a mediocre white man. At 62, it sure feels like the clock's ticking, but I cling to hope.

Dream guy indeed. 🙄

@Joseph_Fasano_ My very Creole aunt that I lived with for half of 8th grade wasn’t one whose kids would snuggle up and share their English lit homework with. Yet as I was learning about Shakespeare, she took an interest in both my work and the work of Shakespeare that inspired me. 🥰

A student said he wanted to "go back in time and take Shakespeare's quill so he couldn't write anything. He doesn't speak my language." I said, "Let's sit down and talk about it." The student said he was frustrated by his inability to express exactly what was in him, that he could never write any papers or poems or stories he was happy with, that he could never "understand literature." "Maybe you don't need to start by understanding it," I suggested. "Maybe it already understands you." The student shook his head. "Nah. They're just words." "Words, words, words," I said. Then I pointed to where Hamlet says this in frustration. The student cracked a smile. Together, slowly, we read some more of Hamlet's words: "I do not know Why I yet live to say, 'This thing's to do'" "I have that within which passes show" "in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep." After about fifteen minutes of passing the text back and forth, reading passages aloud, the student looked up and said, "That...that's how I feel." "Write about that," I said. His paper, which earned an A+, began, "Shakespeare speaks my language."

@BacheloretteABC To the men…PLEASE stop referring to these women as “girls,” “that girl,” and so on. They are #women.

@ask_aubry A female friend joked about how I have to “beat men off with a stick” and thought it was funny that I get followed. She’s about 10 years older, and I had to explain how traumatizing it was, and that it’s neither flattering nor desired. It’s sick.

I was 9 and in my school uniform when I was catcalled. It wasn't Pretty Privilege. I was scared and made me uncomfortable in my own body as a child. She can STFU.

@ask_aubry Another guy, mad because I didn’t reply to his catcalling as I was leaving a grocery store, tried to block me from leaving the parking lot and then chased me onto a freeway. /4

@ask_aubry Still another followed me from a recreation area in our city to my house. Thankfully I realized before I pulled into my driveway, and kept going until I saw a neighbor. The guy had the audacity to say “hey girl - I’m just trying to talk to you.” My neighbor cussed him out. /3

@ask_aubry Another catcalled followed me around in a store, then followed me to my son’s house. He didn’t understand why TF that was creepy and wrong, so I had my son and his roommates come out to explain it to him. He left before they got a word out. 2/
