Will never forget how many folks said this girl deserved to be murdered. Turns out this girl & her sister had been calling for help for a while.
“But Bryant’s killing also cast a light on the state’s foster care system, with an attorney representing the slain teen’s family calling for an investigation of the system and whether girls in the foster home were properly supervised.”
“What trauma was not being addressed within the home? I mean so many questions that have to be answered.” Bryant had only been in the home since February, but Martin said she had been in the foster care system for too long.”
The treatment of Black children by Ohio’s foster care system is already under scrutiny. Last month, a review ordered by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine found it was infused with racial inequity.”

A tip, all of these relationship folks are a scam. All of them. The books. The talks. All offem. The sooner folks learn that, the better😂. NO ONE can tell you what you need to do to have the perfect relationship cause perfect relationships DON’T EXIST.
Work on YOU. Go to therapy. All of us need it. Work on you. Love yourself. Love yourself ALONE. If you’re happy & secure ALONE, no one will be able to come in & bring chaos into your life. Date for fun. If things get serious great. If not, have fun. There is no secret🙄
And men/masculine ppl who date femmes, ya’ll need to know that women/femmes do not *need* ya’ll for finances anymore. BW have always had to work anyway so, there’s also that 🙄. But we’re not going backwards. So if you want a HAPPILY married wife in 2021-, adapt. Or don’t.

Man, I’m so appreciative of the tools parents w/ kids on the spectrum have now, that they didn’t have back in the day. We’re all still learning & trying to be better, but I’m so thankful that we have the language to offset the status quo. ESPC for school.
And I’m not even saying most schools are even TRYING to be less ableist. But I think parents are being more protective, more aware and are FORCING these schools to ‘get with the program’. ESPC as the mom of a Black boy. Tyger doesn’t learn the way other kids might learn &...
...we’re combatting his ‘discouraged’ feelings with this specific language. ‘You learn differently & different doesn’t mean bad.’ As Scarlett is about to graduate middle school, I’m already thinking about how middle school will be for him. We’ve known all of the teachers...

If you’re worried about the kids, they do not care. They are not dumb & know what entertainment is. Now...the adults??? That’s a whole nother story. But that fear adults have has nothing to do w/ kids & kids aren’t letting adults put their own fear, onto THEM anymore.
It’s very similar 2 adults putting their weird views around sex, onto kids. Like, ‘just don’t let them see/hear/learn or talk about sex & that’ll keep them from having sex’. Will it?? Or will they pick up the fear in your own voice/actions & know not to come 2 you about anything?
I’m sure my parents were not thrilled about their 12/13 yr old daughter having (and loving) an album called DOGGYSTYLE. Having that album also didn’t make me rush to do ANYTHING Snoop & the Dogpound were doing on the album. We had MTV/BET so we saw NWA, Luke & all that. ALL DAY😂

Welp, first kid is back to school this week. My oldest starts back next week. She’s 8th grade & had planned to stay home (even w/ her brother going back) but she would’ve had new teachers. So she’s back next week. We gone see how this goes!
My 8th grader was absolutely fine w/ not stepping foot in her middle school ever again lol. But she loves her teachers & wants to keep them. Wild that she’s never met them in person. What a year 2020 was & thank GOD we have new leardership. We’ll see what this 8th grade...
...graduation will be lookin like. Tyger’s 10th bday is Friday so he’s happy he’ll be back in school for it. No cake/cupcakes tho (obvs). Still, he’ll be around other 4th graders which I know he misses😩

YK what’s wild about seeing/HEARING voter suppression live & in real time? How the media, including white progressive media, threw Black voters under the bus & blamed us for 2016 even though they all knew voter suppression prohibited what, 200k voters from voting in key states.
There were articles all over the place admitting that in key Red states, voter suppression of Black & Dem votes was very real and yet, ‘Low Black turnout’ was everywhere. Those were even Progressive talking points. Nevermind that 200k votes were tossed/not allowed when we knw...
...that man only won the EC, with 70k votes. That’s all. So seeing the President try & swing this shit...after an election where, once again, NO ONE voted against this monster more than Black Voters & watching white Progressive media B so shocked that voter suppression is real...

In ppl’s attempt to “educate” Black voters, ppl never question WHY Millions of Black voters STOPPED voting Repub. That, by itself is anti Black. Cause instead of looking at Black voters coming out of slavery as educated/motivated voters, voting for their own best interest...
...you see Black voters...Black People as being in need of leadership. Of guidance. Cause we’re too “dumb” to know any better, instead of seeing that NO ONE votes as pragmatic as Black Americans. We lived thru this country’s terror. And we still are. You don’t think Black...
...people, fresh out of slavery knew what this political system was & is?? Just insulting people’s intelligence & being anti-Black af. Instead of being racist, why don’t you bring that same energy to the tens of millions of WP who vote Repub? How about you do that?
