Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

Can a Black Jew have a conversation on Bluesky about her family’s experience with pogroms — and expect everyone to engage respectfully? Bluesky answered this weekend with a resounding NO and honestly it gives me pause about my future here

hopefully a literacy expert has a good plan for how to teach a bunch of people who think they know how to read how to actually read because we are in crisis

if you have time not to look up the use of “wild” in the dictionary that means “sensational” while pestering me about its use, you have time to post about how a racist trillionaire is promoting racist colonizer pogroms in Northern Ireland

Don’t do this

This is why I am trying to log into this app less frequently

We are in fact in round three in context of the *exchange* “wild” here meant “my *ancestors* could not have imagined it” which is fucking true for people who were facing pogroms and to suggest it would be imaginable for them is pogrom minimization tbh

I guess now we wait for round three of people saying the most implausibly unfeeling and ridiculous shit to me because I .. checks notes … mentioned that my family escaped pogroms in Ukraine

You’ll never believe the thread this person is quote posting which is … about how my family was chased out of Ukraine by *pogroms*
