Trinidadian living in the US. I'm a biologist and educator who's trying to cultivate some joy. She/her 🏳️‍🌈
Yikes
You guys, this excerpt from Olivia Nuzzi's new book is SO bad. This is some of the most pretentious gasbag writing that I've read in a long time.

"He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself." She's so full of herself LMAO

you should be wearing an n95/kn95 still, it’s basic community care. in a hyper-surveilled dirty air environment like we have here, it’s the easiest way to take care of yourself and your community.

and if we had taken this seriously in 2021-2022, we may have eliminated covid.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

108 years ago, the US military carried out the largest mass execution in American history. In December 1917, the military hanged 13 soldiers. Another 6 were hanged less than a year later.

Yes...they were all Black soldiers.

It's best known as the Houston Riot of 1917

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists.

You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man, but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

THANK YOU! Romance is amazing! Actors used to have to star in rom-coms to prove themselves before moving on to dramas and "Oscar movies"
i’ve been seeing a lot of people waking up to the denzel washington in much ado about nothing…

it’s never too late to realize in that movie denzel was on demon time. romance is where the real actors are born. this why johnathan bailey is thriving. he gets this.

I agree. I think exactly like this and I'm always disappointed when other people don't
Hi so friendly reminder that if you have an issue with someone, it is on you to communicate it to them. It’s no one else’s job to figure out why you’re mad and ask you about it.

People have lives to live and dumps to take.

Let these exit polls be yet another reminder:

1. Can’t nobody say jack shit to -OR- about Black Women.

2. The ONLY group who has the right to say anything to -OR- about Black Men…are Black Women.

When you’re consistently #1 and #2 in the game, you’ve earned that right.
