The true scam of this pyramid scheme of a country, is realizing that FB made MILLIONS on my data.

And some how they conceded to what resulted in less than $5 USD. Years after.

“Justice” is merely a gesture under racial capitalism.

It was 65F and raining this morning.

Then it was 75F and sunny.

Now? 45F with a windchill that feels like 33F. 😓

It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, “what a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…

I don’t find Toni Morrison difficult to understand or read.

I find Baldwin to be bombastic and percussive, carrying a rhythm of his own. And I love it.

Ta-Nehisi Coates, I just can’t find the appeal. And I trust Toni. But I feel there are far better black authors to mention with Baldwin.

I think the Korra hate train only exists because people subconsciously associate her with black women.

That’s why her flaws are magnified, she isn’t allowed to fail, and even her wins come with a “but,” despite accomplishing more in her lifetime than most Avatars.

If the universe is energy, it does feel unfair that so many Black people have to do much MORE energetic work than others to wade through all the BS given to us.

Stop shrinking your feelings to keep someone comfortable. If something needs to be said, say it.

Timothee Chalamet saying that shit is why performance artists roll their eyes at only actors. I’m sorry but that entire moment really encapsulates show biz. You have an ACTOR talking down on the disciplines in performance art that require the MOST training and are the MOST exploited.

CLEAR brings biometric identity checks to Mount Sinai hospitals amid privacy scrutiny | Biometric Update CLEAR1 is a selfie-based identity verification that uses facial biometrics and “liveness” checks to match a user to an identity document.

“For New Yorkers, the fight is simpler: when the ‘fast lane’ biometrics company shows up at the hospital door, the real question is whether face ID is becoming the price of entry to essential services, and what happens to the people who can’t, or won’t, pay it.”
