Some Black (domestic, hair) History: This is a hot comb. Many generations of Black women in the U.S. pressed their hair with it after heating up on a stove, to straighten their hair if they didn’t have “good hair.” This is the one my mother used on my hair when I was growing up.

I love this time of year because it's Italian prune plum season. I use them to make a rustic prune plum pie. I make my own pie crust, too. Anyway... the pie should be cool enough to slice into now.

I love this. Like everything else, the history of Black people in the American West has been whitewashed, dismissed, or erased.

Yesterday was the day that @Spoutible roared with the political.
Today is the day we should be figuring out how to use this platform to organize, not simply be outraged.
Since we’re a community: Any suggestions?
Echo. Reply. There are bright, kind people here.
Let’s start working together.

I shut down yesterday. I’m raging angry today. Sickened that when my daughter and 19 of her classmates and 6 of her educators were slaughtered it wasn’t enough.

The people who want to cut nutrition assistance because they don't believe in "welfare handouts," will be the first to bail out finance bros, because wealth-fare is different!

I’m all for indictment, and recognize we’re going to suffer a non-stop, unavoidable tirade of crazy from the indicted one. But amid the noise & mania, let’s keep in mind we have democracy to save, rule of law to re-establish, and a climate crisis that requires collective focus and effort.

White women: Stop responding to Black, Indigenous, People of Color with platitudes like “We’re all immigrants here” or worse, scolding them with “Encouragement is better than a battering ram.” Exactly who do you think you are with that shit? Be quiet. Educate yourselves. Do better. Fucks sake.

Shouldn't be surprised republicans all over are trying to eliminate Black history.
The writers of the constitution they did the same in *real time by choosing to NOT to include the words "Slave/Slavery" in the document..
..because they knew they were wrong and it was wrong.
