- A lot of people think domestic violence is two people arguing and throwing dishes when it’s really about one person slowly, and often quietly, draining the life from a victim they keep at home.
- It’s not a coincidence that two highly feminized professions, teaching and nursing, are in crisis.
- The children of Gaza held a press conference requesting that you stop facilitating their extermination. They said, “We invite you to protect us.” You have NO moral authority. You are covered in their blood.I will not rest until every hostage, like Abigail, ripped from their families and held by Hamas is back in the arms of their loved ones. They have my word. Their families have my word.
- Some teachers might be wondering, "What can *I* do to end racism on my campus?" For many, the answer is early retirement.
- MY DAD JUST RETURNED THIS BOTTLE OF STRAWBERRY HILL TO ME. He confiscated it from me when I was SIXTEEN…THIRTY YEARS AGO. ITS VINTAGE!
- The families of hostages ALREADY asked for one. And they have been IGNORED.If your child was one of the hostages would you want a ceasefire?
- If Black women can't sleep soundly in bed without fear of execution, we don't have a democracy to be saved. We have the work of creating a democracy.
- Kids in my classroom just called a Oujia board "ghost google."
- Multiple. We have multiple stories."Not every single woman has a scary story about a man" Yes they do. I promise you that they do.
- Remember when a making a weird noise was enough to disqualify someone from the presidency?
- The thing about US culture is that it’s steeped in death but denies people grieving rituals.
- Octavia Butler’s grave isn’t far from my home. Today is her birthday. I bathed her grave in rum, brought her purple flowers, and gave her chocolate. Happy birthday, Ms. Butler. Thank you for sharing your brilliance. 💜
