It’s so healing to wake up in a silent house and silently make your own coffee or tea and enjoy the beautifully intricate fullness of the morning silence while remaining calm and collected and unbothered by all outer and inner noise and it’s so low-key elevating and pacifying to rejoice in the silent atmosphere of your own house and just silently block the rest of the world…it’s a slice of heaven

You don’t even have to be a lady, there are several
My last name is culturally important to me
His last name is something like Cox or Boner and it’s just not worth it
I got a doctorate before I met him and don’t want to change it
I don’t want to change my name on all my documents and have people assume I’m stealing my own identity in the early months of our marriage
I would rather keep my own last name out of personal preference
I would rather keep my own last name to make a political statement
I want my husband to take MY name
It’s 2018 and people ARENT PROPERTY
one of my high school literature teachers kept her last name so we were confused to find she was married to another teacher and she was like “his last name is Cummings” and we were like yea that’s reasonable

Day well spent at The Broad.
I remember a teacher telling me how Archaeologists would hack off the noses of statues they found in order to remove any indication that it was of a black person or any POC. It hurts me to think of all the art we’ve lost and damaged because of historical revisionism and flat out racism.
When you're out..
Make sure you switch up your routine like how you get home or what time… don’t be predictable for the people keeping track.
Walk with purpose like you know where you are and where you’re going even if you don’t.
Have your keys in hand before you’re at your car or home so you won’t be standing there fumbling.
Have your phone charged and ready but don’t walk with your head down looking at your phone!!! I see this so much 😧.. and keep your location on.
Spin around fast every now and then just to see if anyone’s been watching, averting their gaze, or following you.
Someone need help? They break down? Need help with groceries? If you’re alone that ain’t your business, keep it moving. That’s how you get snatched.
Turn your music down or off so you hear around you. Pay attention to who’s around and for how long. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact to communicate “I remember your face”.. you can even speak.
Don’t put your kid’s name on their stuff because all someone has to do is call their name and say “Johnny your mom said come over here” .. same with you don’t fall for that.
Stay where a lot of people are, like, try not to be standing alone at night at a bus stop.. or walking to class on a deserted path with alleys or bushes, you know?
Don’t flash pricey things. Don’t leave it out in the open in your car. Don’t hold/count money in public.
Don’t meet up alone with someone you just met online or someone you just met period….. people LIE and fake whole personalities and life stories.. it’s EASY especially if they want you for a reason. Have a plan.
Learn some type of self defense and don’t be afraid to permanently injure/kill if need be. Also, I hear yelling “fire” gets more attention than “help”. Go figure.
Which is why if you see something weird happening with someone else or hear them yell in distress…. use your phone to call someone or take a pic, something. Pay attention not just for you, but for others. Never know what you’ll catch.
Also remember that it doesn’t matter who you are, you have enemies. You don’t always know who they are.
!!!!!
look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you
Something Has Forced the Conversation
White American resistance to seeing the past in the present is pathological
Judge Wolf is making headlines again for all the right reasons (x)
Isn’t this the same woman who refused to prosecute someone because the jail guards had refused to give her a full set of clothes?
It sure is!
Justice Wolf.
