Chris Rock’s one “joke” was rooted in misogynoir, texturism, & ableism. Degrading a Black woman, in a room full of her peers, on live TV.
The fact ya’ll don’t see that as violent is beyond me.

Assault is wrong.
Alopecia is a painful experience that many Black women go through and should not be joked about.
The concept of being ‘the protector’ can be a form of toxic masculinity.
Black women are rarely protected and deserve to be protected.

I want to acknowledge tweets I’m reading from people about the pain of being mocked for illnesses, disabilities, & appearance.
And tweets I’m reading from people about the pain of physical violence.
I love you. I’m praying for & committed to our collective, holistic wellness.

Friends in Winston-Salem (where I'm from) are super concerned about how this fire pollution is playing out. One of them just thanked me for this piece by @lisasorg, who is doggedly following the story. "All of my questions were answered." ncpolicywatch.com/2022/02/02…

Halfway through this, I burst out laughing because @tressiemcphd is just so wildly smart, like, what the hell.
The benefits of marketing yourself as a brand has been explained from every possible angle. Tressie McMillan Cottom offers another idea in the 5th #BigHomieTips: “Don’t.”

Whatever you do, don't make a mockery of this with fake tips. That would be a terrible thing to do. RT so everyone knows NOT to send fake tips.

Their addresses are in Mebane. Their local grocer, public library, and post office are in Mebane. Their community center is in Mebane.
But they don't live in Mebane.
The city calls it extraterritorial jurisdiction. Omega Wilson calls it feudalism.
