Girl from the Burgh, made a career in steel. Retired now. Post food, pets & politics. Liberal, if that bothers you-tough. Also petty AF. And: #KHive, always. This is not a dating site. NOT a resister, no automatic follow-back but maybe a Block.
OMG, this game. Go Bears 🧡💙

As usual, @pierceah66.bsky.social brings us a lesson. Thank you!
I get that nobody wants to hear it but in a scenario where Dems flip the House, & barely flip or don’t flip the Senate, as Republicans have the presidency, ICE isn’t magically getting abolished. In 2028, even if Dems win a trifecta, you still need a part 2 because the INS hasn’t existed in years.

This 🧵 gives me life today. Thank you @pierceah66.bsky.social
*checks notes*

The majority of white men & women voters who chose this yet again as always since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Everyone else who voted for it too.

Everyone who sat out

Everyone who voted against it but spent the whole time suppressing the vote

Access journalists normalizing it…
There’s is no shortage of people to blame for this particular moment in American history

Great 🧵, thank you @ariellaelm.com
This weekend was tough. Venezuela threw us all for a loop, which was by design. Trump chose the very end of the Congressional vacation, which also happened to be the deadline the DoJ had to tell Congress what was redacted from the Epstein files.

Merry Christmas!

Time to get it in gear: shower, clean kitchen, laundry, call sisters. Someone won't be happy.

Ugh, I need to get moving. Committed to bringing a salad to an event today. Instead, I just want to snuggle under a blanket & stream Death In Paradise. On the plus side, I might be able to watch the Steelers game at the event.

Great thread 🧵
Thats the entire point of social media. Black men dont own these platforms but are apart of the one demographic that generates the most revenue via usage and content gen. When experts like myself try to explain this to these niggas we get shut down because we are women.
I had to explain to my barber yesterday about Congresswoman Crockett's legislation she had put out and or cosponsored. He had disparaging right wing white man talking points prior to his statements. It's very unfortunate how gullible niggas be getting their information from YT/IG/Clock app and more.

I was in a mood today. I will not tolerate randos attacking the folks I follow & blaming the Democrats for the mess we are in.

Now, time for something totally different! Perhaps I should search out the old Monty Python shows, the Nazi jokes might make more sense now.

@jamiesbowen.bsky.social immediately thought of you although I doubt you would want to expend any energy crafting this.

This thread was what I needed to read this morning. Thank you @ish-not.bsky.social
I’m not a man but thankfully I am married to one (we’re both Black) who would rather choke on a giant ball of dog hair lint than tell me I need to allow men WHO HAVE NOT DONE THE REAL WORK- ”redeem themselves” because this country would rather coddle misogyny/bad behavior than HOLD MEN ACCOUNTABLE.
In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.

It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.

The math doesn’t math without more men.

Okay, time to get off this app & go wind down with (hopefully) silly TT or reels.
