Book Review: Waiting to Exhale Imani shares her disdain for the popular 1990s book, Waiting to Exhale.

Is this thing on? I've been posting on my blog again! Mostly sharing ramblings as well as book reviews + audio essays I've created. Maybe you want to read about how much I hated Waiting to Exhale? www.imanispence.com/2025/09/01/b...

I worked at the Starbucks where Tim Allen goes, in Michigan and I helped him use his rewards as he was ordering. Shorter than I thought

Really fucking me up that I could live in Ontario and be closer to family and conceptually more comfortable than where I live currently

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

Beautiful gorgeous city of Philadelphia, please sign this, I missed a bus at like 6:45 pm tonight and the next one was in 49 minutes

An important question. Good sign that people are asking.

People really have thought about this! The labor union model usually includes a strike fund to help members. Historically, youโ€™d see everything from intโ€™l mutual aid to local support networks.

Often I have a sardonic chuckle that America was founded on the belief that it was ok to kidnap and murder people to make more money ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Now I'm in Canada and was on a completely full double Decker bus from the airport to a neighboring town.
There were only 3 other people on this bus in Houston ....

Houston, there is unlikely to be a train to the airport anytime soon. Take the bus!!!

If you have an unread copy of Let This Radicalize You lying around, this would be an excellent time to read Chapter 6: โ€œViolenceโ€ in Social Movements. It's also a good time to share that chapter with others.

Iโ€™m going g to be honest with us all here. If you donโ€™t know anywhere to organize local to you, thatโ€™s a choice. I seriously see engagement EVERYWHERE.

Tomorrow HB3225 the public library age restriction bill is up for a vote. Please call your Tx Senators and tell them no to restricting public libraries!

At one point most of my loved ones lived on St Paul. Could walk 3 blocks to a bestie and then just 5 more blocks to ANOTHER bestie. Oh and I lived WITH a bestie on St Paul
Literally getting choked up thinking about it.
