Ludwig Göransson, Ruth E. Carter, and Hannah Beachler really knocked it out here. The costumes in the epilogue beg for a sequel.

On the topic of #Sinners Hannah Beachler is to production design what Ruth Carter is to costumes. These women think down to the atoms in the level of meaning and thought they put into everything they do. A single shot of their work could be used to teach a master class, and I don't say that lightly.

Welcome to Black History Month (I celebrate 365)! I'm sharing badassery each day (despite and maybe bc of the hell we're in). "I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence."

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.
I'm trying to save them.
You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde was nearing the end of her sermon for the inaugural prayer service on Tuesday when she took a breath and looked directly at President Trump.
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now," she said. Read more: nyti.ms/40slABn

I'm watching the Jerry Springer series on Netflix and it hit me...we are in the Jerry Springer phase of American history, the KKK episode. Only we don't know when the show will end. We just know a lot of people will get hurt and nothing is off limits.

The same outrage directed toward FLOTUS Obama was directed toward Colin Kaepernick for kneeling. White folks a) believe they should control black bodies, b) detest black resistance, and c) become enraged when Black folks refuse to offer obeisance. This is why they rage against wokeness et al.

I don’t know which is worse. The colonizers guns or the colonizers theology. Both lead to death.
