I have started another playthrough of #Skyrim to celebrate the ten year anniversary of me leaving private practice, being mostly unemployed and searching for a good hobby for a clinically depressed person. “You should get an Xbox 360,” my friend Aaron said to me. And here we are.
He told me to buy Skyrim and Halo to see what kind of games I like. So I loved Skyrim and couldn’t shoot for shit at the time so Halo was out.
Then in 2016, Overwatch came out and some of the @blackgirlgamers at the time were nice enough to let me play with them. So I became their Mercy. Then slowly I started learning to shoot. And now I am a damn good sniper.
I was 38 when I started playing again (I played a lot of Zelda and Mario Kart and Goldeneye and such before).
Now I love it. It’s not just for kids. It’s not just for boys.
Anyway follow me on twitch. My followers are mostly elder millennials and Gen Xers. I have a really fun core group and awesome mods. Join us! twitch.tv/angryblacklady

I propose we get all of these grifters out of the paint. They are taking money and lining their own pockets while doing NOTHING to help with any of the myriad human rights crises we are facing right now.
When it comes to the no good truly terrible Supreme Court, I keep thinking the @FedSoc 6 have become an arm of the Christofascist project to basically erase marginalized people from society. It's a project that is inherently steeped in whiteness.
Think about the cases this term:
SFFA v. Harvard: The Court will kill affirmative action, destroying Black and brown access to higher education while preserving white legacy admissions, thus making it difficult for Black people to improve their economic circumstances & easier for white people to improve theirs.
Brackeen (Indian Child Welfare Act case): White grievance is going to lead to Native American children being removed from their homes & having their connections to their tribes and culture purposefully severed. It's an effort to erase indigenous people and culture from society.
One more week until the worst Supreme Court term in modern history. And you thought last term was bad. This term is when they cement white dominance into law so hang on to your butts especially if they are non-white.
The Supreme Court could decide this term that bigots have a religious right to refuse service to LGBTQ people.
THIS term.
So the neo-Lavender Scare that has been going on has a purpose. It’s to whip up public sentiment against LGBTQ folks so people will be more complacent.
If you’re straight, cis, white, and Christian, boy howdy you are good to go though.
When asked why Clarence Thomas didn't list interracial marriage as one of the substantive due process rights that is on the line, Melissa had this to say:
This is racist and you should delete it. This is white Christian nationalism. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Taliban. How can we fight white Christian nationalism if people refuse to name it?
Abortion law in Afghanistan is less restrictive than in Ohio, btw.
