The way you can stop a conversation when you say “They were enslaved against their will and brought here” in mixed company is one of my favorite things.

Dread Nation. Autocorrect got me before I hit return.
Anne of Green Gables series and anything else by L.M. Montgomery; the Ramona Quimby Books by Beverly Cleary; Dread National by Justina Ireland
it's officially February 1st
so you know what that means....
This made me burst out laughing!
I like this. Storing it in my brain for future use.
I wanted to know how late they were for their flights.
The way she made it sound like they just decided not to come was unfair.
Poor planning is why they didn’t go.
They don’t care. My in laws aren’t MAGA, but they lament the way the world is and say “There’s nothing we can do. We’ll be dead soon.”
Uncle Bill’s was the place to go when I was in college. The fried chicken was amazing.
When I first joined it thought I was a lesbian too.
Ever since I heard an NPR movie review say that F1’s story was a live action rip off of Pixar’s Cars I haven’t been able to take F1 seriously.
Wendy’s face was killing me! She was over that trip and Angel!
Angel is a terrible addition to the group. She’s boring. I hope Andy takes her out and brings Monique back next season.
I’d be a terror too if someone hosted a trip that awful.
I will (and did!) watch multiple episodes of a tv show, but movies bore me. One Battle After Another is the latest movie that I just don’t get. Or like.
She’s with the ancestors now.
I can’t tell you how many White folks I see here, and on other apps, that say they didn’t know about this history. Trust me: you seem to be in the minority of those who know. The rest are clutching their pearls. If they’d just listened to black folks…
Weirdly, it comes out in a later season that that same character was raped by her stepfather.
The early 2000s were unhinged.
Yes! And he is vegan because Casey Kasem, the man who voiced Shaggy, was in real life.
I literally learned that the lyrics in I Like To Move It are “Physically fit” not “fizzically Pete.” I’ve been singing it wrong for over 30 years!
I once had a piece of blank printer paper on my floor for months because my cat loved it.
Heaven help anyone who moved it from its spot in the middle of the path to the bathroom.
It is clear that you don’t understand racism or intelligence, but I won’t stoop to your level.
Mark Twain had a great quip about pigs and mud and I live by that.
Have the day you deserve.
Have y’all not seen the exit polls? Because it seems like you have not.
The vast majority of Trump voters were White, the vast majority of those who did not vote for him are Black. The non-Black POC were over represented in voting for him. Show me where I’m wrong.
Not Black women, not Black men.
Sorry your narrative is faulty and it is your lack of understanding that is showing.
Clean up your mess and get your own people together. You’re wasting your time trying to police us.
Explain what is racist about this to me.
I LOATHE Polis. I can’t wait until his tenure is up.
How can you go wrong with Idris Elba and John Cena?
I loved that movie!
Two of my favorite things: Linguistics and James Baldwin in one space.
If I were to go on to do a PhD in Linguistics, I would study Anti-Black racism and sociolinguistics in the US.
