But I wake up late, race to the airport & make it on the plane. My seat is in the middle of the plane, right where they keep those carts. I notice the lady in front of me looks kinda like the vampire plane lady ( or at least the one in my dream). Plus, she figured out a finesse:
Because we’re in overlapping cart territory, she basically has 2 different l flight attendants serving her. & she’s sucking down bottles of Sutter Home the way I imagine the Kardashians would do if they were vampires and found a bar that serves locally-grown Black people’s blood.
I’m not really paying attention and I have on noise canceling headphones. But I notice people looking in my directions & turn on transparency mode.

The lady’s making guttural noises & twitching. They ask if she’s feeling ok but I’m like “this mf finna go full vampire!”
The flight attendants realize they’ve both been serving her and she’s toasted. They ask her for the bottles. She says “what bottles?” And yelps. Y’all, I didn’t even know yelping was a thing but this episode of Vampires on a Plane got a drunk, yelping white woman
She’s one seat in front of me so I can see a millimeter of gray, so I know she’s colored her hair… JUST like a vampire would!

My first thought is: “do I have something to stab a vampire with if shit goes sideways?” I remember that I bought some paintbrushes with wooden handles
Everyone is kinda freaking out. I’m straight, now that I know my paintbrushes are in my bag but then I see something horrific:

This muhfucka ain’t got her mask on!

The flight attendants are scared to bother the tipsy vampire & she’s just yelping Dracula COVID over everything.
Meanwhile, vampire lady’s seatmate, an older lady who’s probably NOT a vampire, BOUNCES. I have NO idea where she went. I know the plane’s full bc I saw the seat-change chart while scrambling for the airport. But she’s a white lady so they prolly let her sit on the pilot’s lap!
Apparently, vampire lady’s son and daughter in-law are in in front of her. The D-in-law tried to talk some sense into her but she’s vampire yelping again & sprinkling cusswords in
They tell the male flight attendant as if vampires don’t have excellent hearing or as if she cares
This whole time, I’m like: “Tell her to put her mask on! Do you know how many COVIDSES she’s spitting out while she’s transforming to a vampire?”

Nope He wants to make sure she ain’t getting on another plane. Then she starts wiping her nose between yelps
She’s almost a vampire now. And these motherfuckers aren’t doing anything. I just remember that my vampire-killing paintbrush is in the overhead bin. I have a decision to make:

Do I want to be a Vampire with long COVID? Do vampires need boosters if they drink the vaxxed blood?
she’s reaches 90% percent dracula. How do I know? Because she’s got a built-in vampire alarm!

She starts wailing! I seriously thought it was the plane but it’s her. And she is good AF at pretending to be human!

Her son is so fucking embarrassed. He is BEGGING her to stop
But if 2 seasons of True Blood (before it started sucking) taught me anything, it’s that Vampires rarely respond to reasonable requests for decorum. Vampires gon vampire. Luckily, I’m wearing a hoodie/sweater. She’s gonna have to bite through pure cashmere to get to my neck.
Luckily the flight lands before I become an official vampire slayer (I can throw hands with a woman if she’s a vampire, right?)

Ok, it’s not pure cashmere but I’m pretty sure it’s vampire proof.
And she’s still wylin’. But you can tell her transformation is complete because she sounds like she’s coming down.

Anyway, I just wanted my friends in ATL to know there’s a maskless vampire who probably has COVID running around.

But I think we all know the moral of this story:
Apparently, Sutter Home is the real deal.

I’ll bite:

Here are my top ten reasons.

10. It protects Section 2 of the VRA, which was recently dismantled when the SCOTUS decided I Brnovich v DNC that Arizona Republicans could essentially outlaw the voter registration tactics of the civil rights movement
9. It closes loopholes.

Vote suppressors have studied & exploited the VRA’s language that outlaws “violations to the 14th and 15th Amendment”

This bill prohibits the violation of ANY law that protects voters.

Only people who want to discriminate would oppose that.
8. It restores preclearance.

Shelby v Holder dismantled the part of the VRA that required places with a history of voter suppression to check with the DOJ before changing voting laws & rules.

SCOTUS instructed Congress to come up with a new formula. The new formula says:

First of all, he’s right Houston ISD has a higher dropout rate than Cypress Fairbanks ISD. It’s true when you compare any poor school district with a school district with a bunch of richer people. It’s not because of race, it’s because of poverty.
CyFair ain’t even that white, it’s just a lot wealthier. But when you look at the median income of people who live in the school district, they make WAAY more than people who live in Houston ISD. Even the Black people there make $20k on average more than the average Black Texan
Now compare Houston ISD, where white people are the ONLY group above the median income for Texas. Now, this doesn’t exactly prove that economics affect education, we’ll get to that, because there’s something else you should know:

Houston ISD ain’t doing that bad.

If you're one of the people who wonder if the sudden need for voting rights legislation is about race, the facts are impossible to explain in a brief two-minute segment on the news so:

A thread.
It began with a dude named Ernest Montgomery, who was the only Black councilman in Calera, Ala. He represented a district that was mostly Black

The interesting thing about Calera is that the town's demographics are almost the EXACT mirror of the state of Alabama.
In 2008, when it was time for him to run again, the town decided to redraw the district lines. So they gerrymandered the Black district, which...

You know what?

I know someone who can explain it better.

We must also realize that privileged groups never give up their privileges voluntarily. If we are victimized with the feeling that we can ...wait for the white man to voluntarily give us our justly deserved freedom, we will be the victims of a dangerous illusion"

MLK -1959
"The thought of the inferiority of the Negro is drilled into him in almost every class he enters & almost every book he studies... It is strange then, that the friends of truth have not risen up against the present propaganda in the schools & crushed it."

Carter G Woodson, 1933
Sometimes I sit back
with a buddha sack
Mind in another world thinkin':
'How can we exist, due to facts
written in school textbooks,
Bibles, etcetera
Fuck a school lecture,
the lies get me vexed.

A thread:

A city where fires are prevalent was electing a new fire chief. To keep the Firefighter’s Union on his side, Candidate A promised to hire more firemen

“I have no education, experience or training,” he said. “But this only means I don’t think like other firefighters.”
Instead of fighting fire, Candidate B wanted to PREVENT fires.

He proposed stronger fire codes, more fire hydrants & more fire inspectors. He wanted to teach fire safety & use tax money to put a fire extinguisher in every home.

Candidate A won with 51%
The chief’s first action was to rescind all fire inspections.

He hired more firefighters but said that sprinklers, extinguishers & fire codes “should be up to the individual” because “the government shouldnt be able to tell us what to do with our property.”

People loved it.

I'm sad Netflix removed the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air because it was one of the greatest crime dramas of all time.

Wait...You didn't know?

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was about a police informant working undercover to expose a drug-trafficking cartel.

A thread.
I don't know how y'all bought that story about Will moving across the country because he got in "one little fight." When the Fresh Prince started in 1990, the crack game was too lucrative for Philly dope boys to risk all that drug money by killing a high school kid over a b-ball
If you listen closely, Will said it was a "couple of guys who were up to no good" and they were making trouble in the neighborhood even before he got in that fight.

The fight happened, but there was more to the story.
