Btw, this is a major reason for the helicoptering and excessive screen time. Where are kids going and what can they do that doesn’t cost a ton of money/isn’t criminalized? And,the monstrous racist carcerality that it takes to be the prosecutor who does this to grieving parents? Cursed.

Honestly this scolding is so hilarious. Do you think the people of BlueSky are generally not aware of or jittering mad enough about the nuclear dumpster fire of a political situation we’re in which you - an elected - seem not to be doing a damn thing about? Sasha, what the fuck are you doing here?

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Being in the monied elite has really led them to believe things that are self evidently untrue. You cannot buy peace from this admin. The price is never met & “negotiations” are always extortion that will be revisited at their will & whim. Too clever by half & too confused about what power is. ☹️

I’m an Afropunk girlie from a time when it just meant I’m the only Black girl in this pit&I had the pleasure of seeing Bloc Party’s transcendent opening show for 20 yr anniversary tour last night.Their song Pioneers was received w/ecstatic zeal & I continue to read it as a social mvmt anthem. Enjoy!

Another reason never to shop there. Target put itself in absolute shambles for the craven resentments of people who don’t even go there🤷🏾‍♀️ And their response to being shunned hasn’t been reverse course but kick out two women execs.
