@mekkaokereke I am all over this!! I don’t enjoy blocking people, BUT I don’t have a problem shutting angry dudes down by blocking or simply ignoring them. I dont have for time for that.

@bmacDonald94 Great quote on your profile. Seriously. And thanks for the boost.

💛 “Was it the Racism or the Misogyny?”

It was both. It was misogynoir — hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against Black women. And the world witnessed it perpetrated on a national scale.

I guess this is more about why I as a Christian don’t like them. Maybe there’s some overlap.

The surprising reason why some white people can easily grasp what Black Americans experience in the US and others find it nearly impossible.

@StillIRise1963 Whew! THAT was all that I wanted and more! No more playing small. No more fear. No more handing over my power to clowns. 😁

🇺🇸 Our next President has a plan, a purpose, and has prosecuted the case against TFG. Oh, yeah … and she looks stunning in navy on navy!

Who’s doing the Olympics? Is it a thing on Mastodon?

@blogdiva ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!!! Found a new Olympics buddy! Congratulations! The personal ties must be amazing!!

This presidential “debate” is neither. I’m out. It’s simply unwatchable. That the orange one is eligible to run for office and people are actually considering for a second term is a tragic indictment of this country.

America. You in danger, girl.
