When you about to call someone a bitch but your mama taught you manners

Me: Bitch, please.

Anti-Blackness is...

-Me getting up in the morning, spending 45 mins on styling my hair and folks still calling it “just nappy” or “nappy looking”. -One of my fair skinned Latina friends telling another fair skinned Latina friend that she is “Getting too much sun”. We all know that is code for don’t get too dark. -Telling your children, who presumably have no medical issues, to “stay out of the sun or they’ll burn and be less attractive”. -Saying, “some black people are really beautiful”. We all know who the “some” consists of. -Telling folks to not touch my hair and them responding with, “It wont mess it up. It’ll just look the same anyways.” -Asking a dark skinned person, “Why would you even tan?” -Calling anything with a black lead a “Hood” or “Ghetto” production. -Always referring to the darker person as aggressive. -Continuously commenting on how “other non-black people” are ‘always chill’. -Asking for the name of a dance that has been developed by black people, asking for it to be demonstrated, but not wanting to do it because it “Looks stupid”. -Saying something isn’t a big deal to a black person, when it centers around race, and it is CLEARLY a big deal to them. -Suggesting an afro-ethnic, afro-centric body of work is too “complex” or too “complicated” to be featured at a venue. I am gonna add on to this as I go.

PART II

Anti-Blackness is…

-Feeling like you need to state the opinion that “you don’t find African people/ Black people or Dark skin attractive.” Bitch no one asked you. -Hiding behind the lame and WEAK excuse of “Preference” when someone calls you out about your aversion to darker folks. -Yelling out “Stop making everything about race! It’s not about race!” When someone has your lying self backed into a wall. -Saying “All ____, (People, Lives, Issues) Matter!” in response to a black or African person airing their grievances over an oppression. -Calling the Natural Hair Movement and the resurgence of Black People Loving themselves a “fad, that will pass.” **Feel Free to add to this list. My mission is to come up with a thorough manual for all the basic muhfuckahs out here furthering and perpetuating our oppression, so they will understand what anti-blackness truly is.**

!!ELECTION DAY REMINDERS!!

Election day is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8th

You can check your polling place AND time HERE.

I would HIGHLY recommend bringing two forms of ID [a gov. i.e. your license or photo ID AND your voter ID] with you to poll. Some states have voter ID laws, and in other states you need your ID if it’s your first time voting at that particular location.

Avoid any trouble, don’t wear any pins, tshirts, etc. for a particular candidates. Some areas consider it passive electioneering.

You CAN NOT vote via text, online, etc. Anyone advertising otherwise is lying.

The only person to ask you for your ID should be the individual working the polls sitting at a table inside the building in question. If anyone else asks you for your ID or gives you a hard time, they have no authority to do so and should be avoided.

You CAN NOT take a photo of your ballot/voting machine/etc. Take a cute photo with your “I Voted” sticker after and call it a day.

Most importantly, stay safe, be smart and VOTE VOTE VOTE

Also, as long as you are in line before the poll closing time, you will get to vote. They will keep them open for everyone who is already in line so don’t give up just because the lines are long.

And voter intimidation is illegal. If you feel that someone is trying to sway your vote or prevent you from voting, take a picture of them, do not fight with them. and call this number 800-253-3931. It’s the Justice Department’s Voting Rights Hotline.

Scientists discover most relaxing tune ever

Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay. Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.
