Once you see it you can't unsee it:
A "civil rights leader," is often what a "political leader" looks like in a system where pervasive racism prevents Black people from achieving the highest office.🤷🏿‍♂️

What civil rights leaders call for today, becomes sound, accepted, proven good policy 20 years in the future, that improves life for all of us.

This goodness or badness compounds year over year. If we had listened to Frederick Douglass about reconstruction, the US would not be so messed up today.

Would "Finding Your Roots" be nearly as interesting if they did normal people?

I just saw where #NFL star Tony Gonzalez was related to William Shakespeare.

Mine would probably be like "they lived in this Appalachian holler for 200 years.

A rafter of turkeys stop by our yard almost every day (there are usually about 2 dozen of them).

Fuck right off, Jeff Bezos. Raise the cap. That’ll take care of any “reforms”. Raise the tax cap and stop trying to screw people.

My https://autistics.life instance for us #ActuallyAutistic people is 1.5 months old today. Still a young one.

I created it to give us a place to unmask and be ourselves. Talk about autism, what's going on in our lives, and relate to each other.

You're welcome to join our little autistic bubble.

It's still a new server and the more who join and toot, our local feed of fellow autistics will grow over time.

Every woman executive knows how this feels in her BONES. To be headed to a client meeting with your male boss, and when he’s meeting with another male CEO, you get invited to have lunch not with the client VP who reports up, but the client CEO’s ***WIFE***.

My brother in Christ, I’m sure she’s a very nice lady but I’m here to slay for YOUR gig, not hers.
