Gaza : Monsieur le président, votre honte

fwiw, don't think they're trying to portray themselves as heroes. I think they're trying to alert people to the fact that we're in a really bad place. which I think is worthwhile? 1
“I got a job in Canada because I’m scared of where this country is going” does not send the heroic, bold message these guys think it does, especially after they’ve let it just become a huge media blitz.

As we mark Nakba Day on May 15, millions of Palestinian refugees are languishing in camps as Israeli authorities accelerate the forced displacement of Palestinian communities.
Governments should press Israel to honor Palestinian refugees' right of return.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy living, it should be encouraged
“Wellness grifters” aren’t about a healthy lifestyle. They’re about selling stuff & blaming chronically ill people for being sick
Most of what they recommend is too expensive for people on disability, and a lot of it is dangerous

I will never shut about #PopeJoan / Pope Yohannes. How iconic to be the only pope to have given birth - on a horse no less - resulting in the Vatican fondling men’s nuts for the next few centuries to make sure it would never happen again. Such a baddie.

The Met Gala + Sinners this week reminded me of pride and looking good in your “Sunday best”in good times and bad. Reminded that after many ends of many of our worlds, when the world is burning, if there’s one thing black people will always do is have space for grace and time to look FLY as fuck
