Was it necessary to point out that senator warren is on the right? Y’all be honest with me do I look like a lady senator from the back???

@asheleymeans ❤️😭

Do you have a young person whose every move makes you so proud you can hardly breathe? @Wormeronie is mine.

@angiecthomas omg!! I’m that student! I read The Hate U Give as a freshman at UM, and it’s been one of my favorite books ever since. Your writing has influenced me so much

This is why they don't want books like mine in schools 😂

Oh! I wrote this column over two years ago, and I’m thrilled people are reading it. We still owe Black people their money, yall.

If this pisses you off, you can usually donate money or time to your local library!! Your library system has a board, consider running for a spot!! Let this remind you that most of us should focus our political energy on the local level!!

My heart breaks for queer ppl and ppl who rely on the library in Ridgeland. The mayor is demanding that the library go against one of its most deeply held values or forego much needed funding. How horrific!

A couple years ago I interviewed a dozen librarians in and around jxn for my undergrad thesis. I have some thoughts:

the CDC:

@ashtonpittman MKayla’s family set up a GoFundMe to help pay for memorial services. Please consider donating! gofund.me/02dd1172

On Aug. 6, Mkayla Robinson smiled for a photo with her arm around her little brother, both wearing backpacks. It was her first day of 8th grade & his of kindergarten—in a mask-optional school district. 8 days later, Mkayla, 13, died with COVID-19. mississippifreepress.org/14800/mississi…

Please consider donating to help Mkayla’s family pay for funeral expenses. Her mom’s Cashapp is $MykelRobinson if you don’t have Cashapp, my Venmo is @ wesley-craft, and I will pass the money along

BREAKING: An 8th grade Mississippi girl died this morning hours after testing positive for COVID-19. She attended classes throughout the week at a school that began with no mask mandate. Yesterday, Gov. Tate Reeves downplayed the danger to schoolchildren. mississippifreepress.org/14800/mississi…

Hard to find a purer distillation of evil than QAnon people who have spent all day attacking Chrissy Teigen after losing her baby.

Southern leftists must hate politics on Twitter. You get no help and get blamed for everything, even though you suffer the most under evil politicians and everyone is well aware how the right has gamed the system.

Nobody is appropriately gauging how quickly QAnon (and Q by other names) has taken over among suburban and rural white women. It is everywhere.

Many will read this and think Mississippians are selfish idiots (many are) But my guess is that this mostly has to do with UI benefits. We have the most ppl living in poverty who can now buy basic needs, maybe for the first time ever.
