Iโm rooting for (almost) everybody Black. Not interested in the -isms or -phobias. Enjoys harmless joke tings on the TL. Can't be bothered to use Bookmarks.
I may be alone on this, but I feel for Cardi, Latto, and Megan. Imagine meeting one of your idols, getting to know her, and then end up beefed out with her?
If I ever beefed with someone I looked up to, that would genuinely crush me, even if only for a moment.
Too many women love using child support to punish men for them not being together, not because they're not taking care of their children. Then get mad when the courts requires next to nothing for support. Smh.
Please leave Ariana alone. Iโm sure sheโll be grieving, right along with his family, friends, team, and fans.
Please focus on his music, legacy, and providing support to those facing substance abuse addiction.
Itโs a terrible disease, please have empathy.
A (cisgender) Black woman was murdered recently because someone believed she was transgender. A gay man was murdered this week for dancing in public.
These โdebatesโ on gender and sexuality have real life implications. Homophobia and transphobia are driving murderous hatred.
Planned Parenthood already confirmed that this is NOT an official PP ad & was created to portray PP in a negative light.
I think itโs irresponsible to leave the tweet up, especially without adding some context.
Yall are witnessing how fake news/propaganda spreads in real time.
I am HURTING for Black interns! We offer a stipend, I buy you food, and we always have bagels, coffee, and other goodies. Please send any talented Black youngins' in D.C. with an interest in communications, fundraising, or event planning for non-profits my way!
Funny how easy it is for straight black men to ignore other intersections of blackness. Iโm not โBlack first,โ Iโm Black & woman all at once. I cannot separate them. I cannot hang them on a shelf when I grow tired.
This why so many Black women only go hard for other Black women

I agree! His wife is fine as hell. But if he were my husband, Iโd want him to delete the tweet, too. Leave young women alone and donโt set me up to be dragged because you wanted to show your ass.
Itโs also important to add that sheโs a white woman.
If a well-connected, wealthy, white, successful woman isnโt believed, then who is?
Survivors/victims of abuse are not given the support needed to come forward safely and live a life of dignity in the face of their traumas.
Angelina Jolie is an extremely well-connected, wealthy woman who is also a humanitarian and award-winning actress, yet she is still being disparaged in the press. People still continue to wonder why women choose to be silent about domestic abuse.
Despite being six years apart, a 28 year old and a 22 year old are not exactly age mates.
In your twenties, you experience so much growth and change, that a six year gap matters more than it would between two folks in their forties.

Know what, sis? I seen you under every single viral tweet and Iโm bout to cop something bc I appreciate the hustle ๐
Luxury isnโt my beef, directly.
Itโs the fact that luxury almost always requires extreme poverty to function.
If everyone on Earth had clean water, respectable housing, education, above fair wages, and healthcare, I wouldnโt be bothered by someoneโs $15,000 handbag.
Fuck Camโron for being transphobic trash and for joking on Meg. Big Love to all my Black sisters, ESPECIALLY my trans sisters. We need to be together, transphobia and misogyny hurts us ALL.
Because Black men will never have to pick between their race and their gender -- this world doesn't ask them to. But so many Black men want other Black folks to decide between their race, gender, sexuality; I cannot separate these things from one another.
"You're Black first!"
Tell that to folks who perpetuate gender-based violence.
Tell that to folks who hate poor people.
Tell that to folks who hate gay or trans people.
Black or not, they'd hate me regardless.
And no, I am not "Black before anything else" in the eyes of my oppressors. That's part of how oppression works -- there are no rules, each oppressor hates me differently, and I have no desire to understand their warped sense of "logic."
#SurvivingRKelly
is a big story of the bystander affect. Everyone saw what was happening but no one stopped it. Had this been today in 2019, he would have been exposed through black twitter within weeks.
@moneyymaya
Trust your gut and stop allowing othersโ opinions dictate your decisions. Your job isnโt to be palatable to others.
Leave that damn job sooner.
Date for fun.
Cultivate the friendships you DO have.
Work on your internal dialogue.
Your body was actually banging asf.
And I am aware that this "Black first" topic *today* is in response to homosexuality. Fuck y'all.
Queer Black American Culture is (an undeniably huge component of) Black American Culture & Black American Culture is American Culture.
Put some fucking respect on Black queer folks
And that isnโt shade to the young lady who posted it. When I saw it, I had a visceral reaction. It just isnโt an actual PP ad. And thatโs important to note. Because folks in her mentions think itโs real and are forming opinions in real time.
This is how elections get hacked.
Someone in the military was driving drunk and totaled my car, her car, and two other cars. She damaged a shopping center sign.
The cops refused to breathalyze her. She was not arrested.
She was protected.
Yโall donโt find it suspicious that Rho got assaulted by someone who was in the military and they have not arrested him but charged her of a felony..? And yโall are standing by the police to destroy her name.
@moneyymaya
Thatโs when I was absolutely positive that that baby girl was completely justified. You can tell he says things to invalidate her *regularly,* and thatโs why she treated his ass.
If youโre laughing at Cha**elle doubling down on offensive jokes, youโve told me everything I need to know about you, tbqh.
You can be funny without punching down.
If he's upset about not being able to use oppressive language ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
*taps mic gently*
Uh, hey yโall. I start a new job with a really great organization and the highest salary Iโve ever had this Wednesday!
If youโre the praying type, a prayer for my success, peace of mind, and strong & positive impact on others would be really appreciated.

Agreed with you. He knows heโs not wrong. He knows heโll always have supporters. The replies confirm it.
He doesnโt care that he shot her, and his fans donโt care either.
@jiggyjayy2
Doja has told us before, as well as Missy, that sheโs a rapper. They do this to Lizzo, too. These women have all said that theyโre rappers. Being able to sing, write, produce, play instruments, dance etc. doesnโt make them non-rappers?? They already told us who they are.
Katie Hopkins is 5 years younger than me. In this pic, Iโm wearing concealer, lipstick, eyebrow pencil and mascara. No filter. Embiggen that jawn.
Evil ages you like milk.
@delafro_
This was so fucking ugly to say. Kyrie confirmed it. Itโs old. Itโs over with. Kehlani BEEN queer. I donโt understand where sis is coming from w. this vitriol towards Kehlani.
And this isn't the denial of my Blackness, this is me saying that when you have only "one strike" against you, it's so easy to tell the rest of us to fall in line.
The Black Americans I follow are speaking up, learning, and amplifying. Go @ the persons youโre upset with and leave African Americans out of this, pls abeg. This does nothing to help anyone. God in heaven.
I can't send anymore DMs, but I think I got more than enough interested applicants. If you need help finding additional internships, resume reviews, housing, etc., let me know!
@earringdealer
THIS would be an appropriate solution. Dre could do it. Cube could do it. Lots of his contemporaries could do it for his kids. Thereโs no reason anyone else other than his kids should own his masters.
And Iโm going to say it: Key Bridge is in an impoverished part of Baltimore. For YEARS, residents who live in the neighborhoods around Key Bridge have been shouting that the city & state are too focused on industrialization and not enough on people.
Any man who is too grandiose with his emotions too soon is a liar. We on the first date and you telling me โI really care about you, youโre special to me.โ
Sir. We just met. You donโt know me!
Every man whoโs behaved this way has been trash.

@safiyaaaax
Exactly. I get the point being made because ytpipo will always respect other marginalized people before respecting black people, but the truth is these privileged ytpipo donโt gaf about ANYONE.
If they say any of these words, theyโre likely using all of them.
I donโt want to delete the tweet but I was not expecting this many DMs. If youโve got an internship opportunity, get at me! I am sure Iโll have more resumes than I need and will send them on with the applicantsโ permission!
I actually think itโs directly related to Venmo loving to tell everyone else how youโre spending your money.
All up in your business, just like a yt person.
Now, that doesnโt mean no 22 and 28 year olds will ever date. They can. But that young lady isnโt wrong for not wanting to date a man six years older than her when sheโs in her early twenties.

@durandbernarr
If I may: consider adding something to your bio if youโre on the dating apps. โBi/Pan men welcomeโ seemsโฆ a little awkward but it is straight to the point.
@HerSoulWrites
That was an ignorant tweet from OP. Two things can be true like?? No one wants to be bullied. And people are downright awful to Lizzo. Iโd cry, too.
Can we talk about Period Fatigue, people who menstruate?
Not just your body feeling tired from it all, but the tired feeling of the whole process: the cramping, the pads and tampons and cups and disks, the 50 showers a day...
The fatigue from being fatigued, if you will.
I will never forgive the slimy salamander ass bastard for robbing her family of some semblance of justice, nor will I forgive the rat faced pigs that stole her light from this world.
Fuck them.
My DMs are open. To my young survivors of sexual assault and harassment and as a USF Alumna - I pray it gets better for you.
At 22, I tried to k_ll myself. At 26, I WANT TO BE ALIVE. I am still healing, but wanting to be alive... I donโt take for granted.
Hey y'all! I'm on the hunt for a new job! Looking for a role at a university or college in the Baltimore area.
I have experience in comms, student affairs, and marketing.
Also, if you're in the DC area looking for a comms role, lmk - my current role is opening up!
@AnthonyTheGre8t
Not sure why youโre mentioning me here. The point stands. Stop asking black women to pick between blackness and womanhood. Black Women catch a special brand of misogynyโmisogynoir.
