Being told your disability is a "gift" when you are genuinely suffering isn't empowering, it’s isolating. We have to stop policing how people describe their own lives. Honesty about the struggle isn't negativity; it's the first step toward actually making things better. 2/2

The NFL barely cares about violence against women. They definitely don’t care about extramarital activity.

Listening to a dude at work talk about how much better it is to drive a car fueled by diesel and how emasculating it is to drive an EV. Truly, men are broken.

I totally get it. But a few months ago I couldn’t keep rationalizing giving money to him. So I started shopping on eBay. Quick shipping, new stuff, not all used, plus helping actual people, small businesses in the mix. I don’t need everything instantly. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be.

Coco Gauff responds to criticism of natural hair in Miu Miu shoot: ‘The girls who get it, get it’ Gauff posted a video on social media in response to comments about a shoot she did for Miu Miu.

As a scholar of sport and society, Black sportswomen deserve better✊🏾

4/13💫

Mars conjunct Neptune in Aries blurs the line between action & illusion. Desire surges, but clarity dissolves. Are you acting from truth or projection? This transit asks for conscious courage, not impulsive reaction. Move, but move with awareness.

Hair discrimination is as pernicious as discriminating against someone based on their skin color or any other immutable feature. No Black woman—esp one as spectacular as @CocoGauff—should ever have to explain the beauty of her natural hair. Shine on Coco!
