Black Adder

My daughter’s quote about her ADHD should pinned: “I feel like I have question marks on my bones.”

Please As y'all transition to offline event planning, Do Not Forget The Many Who Cannot Leave Home Even with all the safety precautions in mind, remember that folk being left out because they are home is not new it's only now a more collectively familiar experience

@UFWupdates Cool! Did not know Chavez was a part of LGBTQA history. Also wanted to shout out Itliong— smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-in…

When you’re celebrating #PrideMonth2021, please know a shared and intersectional solidarity has been a precious part of the farmworker movement and the LGBTQ+ movement since the start and to this day. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

In 1978, a dynamic group — including UFW leader Cesar Chavez— joined Harvey Milk to fight a state proposition that would have made it mandatory for school boards to fire openly gay and lesbian teachers. We won. sfchronicle.com/oursf/article/… via @sfchronicle

@quokkaeveryhour pretty sure this quokka just healed someone with its mind❤️💜💙

It’s so fishy to me that there wasn’t a moratorium on rent with a bank bailout, at least here in the US, where, in the past, the banks were bailed out for stuff that was there own fault.

@WrittenByHanna @nkxnnia Such raggedy questions.

Briefly about @naomiosaka from a 45-year vet of sports media: Steve Carlton didn’t talk to the @mlb media and was never threatened with suspension/fines. Marshawn Lynch doesn’t talk. George Hendrick didn’t. Bill Belichick literally gives lip service. But a woman? DESTROY HER!

We have to start teaching children about rejection at a young age in schools. We have to teach them about consent. We have to teach them that “no” is not the end of the world, nor is it an attack. It’s merely a “no.”

@JaShikuku @laceyduke Also true. Colorism plus anti-Blackness plus misogyny.

@laceyduke I dont think the reaction would be the same if Serena pulled an Osaka.She would have been called her all sorts of names.

Naomi Osaka said “Lemme know when yall figure this tennis thing out, imma go lie down”. A Queen.

@afc_edu @laceyduke Choosing inner peace and self help is always a W in my book🤷🏾‍♂️

@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith But I don’t think they feel incentivized or empowered by it. Someone was saying recently that tokenism is more of an incentive. That having a token friend or allyship is more of a commodity. I have to research about that.

@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith Nice to see you too! I have been having some trouble shifting back to my natural sleep cycle for my current job. I thought it would be faster!! So anyway. Community race care. I mull and mull over it. And ally power is REALLy key. See something, say something, do something.

Why I am leaving the general Autistic community for good. Part 1a /1

@BeingKaylaSmith Is there anything we can do to help black autistics? I've been seeing a lot of racism in my facebook social groups as well towards black autistics.

@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith You mentioning this before has been on my mind lately because I have been thinking about how everyday Blackness and everyday discrimination and prejudice has people get so cree-cree cricket silent when it’s mentioned.

@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith René you have been thru some of the same things as well, right?

@BeingKaylaSmith I hate that you are going thru this. I hate that the first time I get to experience what you have to say that it’s because you’re driven away by double marginalization.

@qikipedia Sieve is just awesome.

Last month, gravitational wave scientists took suggestions for the collective noun for a group of black holes. They've narrowed down the list to ten, and are considering: graveyard, horde, perforation, swarm, colloquium, disaster, sieve, brood and doom.

What's that ADHD thing called when you struggle with enjoying leisurely time, so you just end up doing NOTHING? Or, if you try to enjoy it, you just feel really bored and get kinda depressed? (Do not say "Executive Dysfunction" - that's the obvi part)
