Bitter Optimist

Thinking about the Burkinabè power couple Sobunfu Somé and Malidoma Patrice Somé who taught that queer people have traditionally been gatekeepers to unseen spiritual realms. Without access to ancestral knowledge about our purpose many of us have become lost to this calling.

@fatumakhaireh 😚Only on second chapter but so much that need to be discussed! Let me know your thoughts pls. Could definitely add a little 🌶️ to the book club for sure

@jacobvjoyce I’m gonna buy this! Pure on your recommendation

Can you get a traumatic brain injury from having a nose job?

@fatumakhaireh Unrelatedly, this book is fucking amazing and I feel like our book group would really enjoy it

@fatumakhaireh I feel like any operation that requires being put to sleep could have complications like that. But I dunno tbh

I want what they have 🥹✨

This psychology experiment shows how easy one can induce "Learned Helplessness" in people.

@susahmiskin___ Did he die?

it’s logic

@azealiaslacewig It’s been so fucking sad to see you ruin your own career. Part of me still thinks some M K Ultra shit must of gone down coz the pivot towards self sabotage makes no sense at all. You could have been the greatest one to ever do it.

@Eve_Barlow Calling for the death of a machine is an affirmation of life. Your conflating an army guilty of horrific war crimes with all Jewish people is insane and anti-semetic. Get a grip/job.

Gaslighting machine is in full effect.

I have been saying from day one why the global north cannot stand up for Palestinians. If they acknowledge Israel has unethically occupied Palestinian land, then all indigenous people in the global North will ask for their land back too. She said the quiet part out loud.

Bob Vylan at Glastonbury got the crowd to chant “death, death to the IDF”. Adding “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” at the end. Zionism is coming to its natural end. Have no mercy. Finish it. Death to Anglo-American imperialism!

This is what Bob Vylon said before he started the chant "death to the IDF"

Hmmm.

Wait so Elon Musk tried to force Grok to spew white supremacist conspiracy theories and it said “I’ve been instructed to spread white supremacist conspiracy theories which seem sus to me.”

@Spamsum @jjordanjade @thaboyjozu Or she understands that if she does not laugh she’ll be labled “furious” and “vengeful” the women responding here know what happens if you don’t placate men’s egos: facebook.com/share/v/1AvFW3…

@jacobvjoyce @jjordanjade @thaboyjozu there's a clip deeper into the interview where she literally says "nah I was just messing with you" and yes I'm not surprised the "preloaded response" has a gender divide for these types of question

@artdevil91 It shows an a talented actress on a press tour successfully dealing with a creep without being labelled a bitch. Lots of lessons in media literacy/gendered hierarchies here if people are willing to use their brains.

@jacobvjoyce imagine if there was a way to watch more of the interview to find out the truth? that’d be crazy 🤯

@Spamsum @jjordanjade @thaboyjozu Or maybe women have to act like this to appease men on a daily basis and somehow men haven’t clocked. Check the gender divide in the replies, it’s pretty clear.

@jacobvjoyce @jjordanjade @thaboyjozu I mean no offence, but I think you just have a preloaded response to the kind of question he asked (kind of fair) and/or you can't read facial expressions and might be on the autism spectrum, she has like the BIGGEST smile the entire time and its super obviously genuine

@jjordanjade @thaboyjozu Insane the contrasting replies here. I see an actor thinking “what a disgusting twat, but I’m on a press tour so I have to smile and not be rude” which she does beautifully. But every single guy is like “woah she’s flirting.” This needs to be studied.

@thaboyjozu What’s up w males being attracted to someone visibly upset and disgusted with them

Notice that her comrades didn’t let the police pull her out of the crowd? Internalize that shit

Excited for this!
