god forbid Black women have fun

[gothhabiba]

Black woman invents or popularises a phrase -> it enters the vernacular and circulates widely amongst Black and nonblack people -> people removed from the phrase's initial context read it too literally, do not interpret it with sensitivity, assume that the ideas expressed when people use it are shallow / "over"-sexualised / problematic in some way or another that mirrors their feelings about Black people as a whole -> there is a backlash where a supposedly more 'thoughtful,' 'subversive,' etc. alternative to the initial phrase is offered, implying that the initial phrase contained none of that complexity within it -> rinse & repeat

like did you know that trees lower the surface temperature by up to 19° and grass by up to 24°... access to green space is access to safety in a climate crisis and it is a massive site of inequality because poorer areas tend to have less green space and thus get hotter. urban trees are an equality issue as well as a climate issue. sorry it's not a magic bullet that solves everything but sometimes you need to pick an issue that helps a bit and focus on that. this might not be yours. it's likely going to be mine in the future when my health issues allow me to take it on. if we each pick a thing we can make a difference

It really is insane how far-reaching the effects of one woman dating a shitty dude are. Like now when she hangs out with her friends after being drained by him all of their energy is going into supporting her and then she goes back to him filled up on their energy which is drained back out of her by him. It’s fucking weird man I refuse to contribute to the cycle

I want to keep living my life as a continual preparation of trust that the very next moment could be absolutely divine and astonishing. What’s that saying… destiny favors the prepared… I often come back to the question of if my wildest dreams came true tomorrow, what would I have to do today to be able to receive and live them? What state would I need to embody? I’m also often reminded of Florence Scovel Shinn saying, “One’s ships come in over a calm sea.”

I think all google reviews of restaurants should come with a note about the nationality of that person. If an American is saying they think the staff are 'unfriendly' I know I will have a great time because that probably means they just give you time to breathe
