I know this might be shocking to some but women can be the protagonist in your video games and they don't need to meet your requirements for beauty
Last time I checked the only requirement for a game is being fun
Samus is giving yall side eye
Don’t talk to me 🌞

The contradiction is very accurate lolll
“Writers don’t write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don’t. …If you wrote from experience, you’d get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”

RIP, genius….

Nikki Giovanni has always been a giant to me. a powerhouse of a woman. a hero. 💔
I remember going to see Nikki Giovanni when I was in college and we sat around her feet. Her energy filled the room and her smile was enrapturing. I literally cried before and after. A beautiful soul, and she had on purple eyeliner. I hope she’s enveloped in love with the ancestors. Rest in power 💜
Book-banning campaigns have become the norm in recent years, with many classics being taken off shelves in libraries nationwide. Jodi Picoult's "Nineteen Minutes" is the latest book to be banned.
Weight-loss jabs are now being tested for their effect on everything from alcoholism to polycystic ovary syndrome.

One word “downstairs”
Thank you 🙏🏾
I lost my cat last night. I’m literally still in shock and I’m heartbroken. I haven’t felt this down in a long time. I want to do something in her honor. But right now I can’t move.

Hellurrrr! I just had to come back AGAIN to let y’all know of ANOTHER Black owned bookstore to support! They sell new AND used books online and 10% of the proceeds from every purchase is donated to folks in 🇨🇩 DRC 🇸🇩Sudan and 🇵🇸 Palestine 🫶🏾 #BlackSky #BlackBookSky 📚📚💙 bundleupbooks.com

I feel like if someone blocked me it was likely for their peace of mind or I didn’t follow them back fast enough 😂. Either way I’m not bout to go figure out if I’m blocked or not. Not my monkey not my circus 🤷🏾♀️
OOOOMG! I REMEMBER THIS EXACT PLANNER! 😭😭😭
I need a hoodoo friendly therapist 🤔
I also have an online digital download version of my Black Horror class, The Sunken Place. We didn't have Dewayne Perkins as a guest, but we did get this guy. :)
We examine the roots of Black Horror, starting with W.E.B. DuBois, through Jordan Peele. Tropes, themes & more!

You could pay and support Black artists who have open commissions but instead you want to create something ugly, your “model” has 7 fingers, 3 hands and two completely different hair textures…
