I need to get my BlueSky algorithm right.

How do I find other Black women committed to justice and liberation but also want to experience self and community care and some good kikis along the way? #BlackSky

Google is a privately owned company, so there was no logical reason for capitulating to the hyper nationalist whims of an openly aspirational dictator seeking to take American Imperialism to the next level.

A performer who was part of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was detained by security after waving the Sudanese flag and Palestinian flags together with the words “Sudan” and “Gaza” written on them toward the end of the performance, the NFL says.

Andrew Schulz is misunderstanding his relevance in that bar. You weren’t being insulted, the Black men who let you speak on Black women were. This high art isn’t for you, my guy.
