One year ago today, One year ago today, I was in Washington D.C. I was given the honor of opening the speaker portion of the March for Racial Justice. @CSPAN c-span.org/video/?c474557…

#m4rj #marchforracialjustice
For a moment today, I thought to myself...I don't know how I managed because I was pretty broken. My entire life had fallen apart just a week before, I had no money, I had no home and my heart was shattered and I honestly didn't think I was going to make it to D.C.
But I did because of Dorcas Davis and the entire #M4RJ team, because of the people who follow my work online. It was a passing thought "I don't know how managed" because as soon as I thought it, I knew how I managed.

RAPE HAPPENS. FALSE RAPE ACCUSATIONS HAPPEN. One does not negate the other & should not be use to invalidate the experiences of those who have been raped & those falsely accused of rape, just as FEAR of rape & FEAR of accusations of rape should not be used to vilify each other.
Seriously. FEAR is valid, no matter how irrational it is. But FEAR is not justification for discrimination, hate, rape, or any other form of violence. This is America & we already know how FEAR has been weaponized to divide us politically, socially, economically, racially, etc
How long are we gonna keep that cycle going before we get tired of running in circles and having the same discussions over and over again?

#femaleblackout...Why do I get the feeling this ridiculous thing was concocted by a White Feminist, especially since Blackout Day is a day in March to celebrate Black Voices and Excellence.
*SMH* #FemaleBlackoutDay.....LITERALLY Silencing women....GTFOH. Guess I'm gonna be a little louder today, a little more present cuz I will not be silenced and definitely not gonna silence myself.
While I'm on the topic of this #FemaleBlackoutDay...do folx realize just how ignorant it is to ESPECIALLY ask WOC....INDIGENOUS WOMEN to blackout their profile pic and to remain Silent...."so the men wonder where the women are"?

Uber Driver: "As a man, I'm terrified that at any time a woman can accuse me of rape."
Before I could even open my mouth to say anything, the other passenger, also a guy, said "Why? You the kind of guy that could be accused of rape?
Uber Driver: What the fuck kind of guy is that? Good men get accused of rape all the time.
Passenger dude: Good men do not accused of rape all the time. I've been with a lot of women in my 47 years and not once have I been accused of rape nor have I worried about it.
Seems to me, the only men who fear being accused of rape are rapists and men so stupid that if they're scared of being accused of rape, shouldn't be fucking anyone if they don't know the difference between sex and rape.
Uber Driver: Staring at the dude like he killed his cat.

It's only 10 am and I feel so defeated today. I don't have overdraft protection on my account because I didn't want to be able to go over and I should have asked questions earlier because my account has been overdrawn a few times but usually no more than a few cents to a dollar
I was worried about a charge not going through because I knew I didn't have enough to cover it...it went through and I got a notice that my account was overdrawn by 7.35 cents...no problem. I deposited money to my account and all was good til this morning.
I deposited $35, which left 27.65 in my account, I spent $21 this weekend. Then I get a notice my account had reached 0 dollars. I check my account & they hit me with a $35 overdraft fee for the -7.35 balance because my deposit didn't register in their system til Sat

This article was so cringeworthy but I applaud @ScottHarrisMMA because he tried. It's not easy to write about Native experiences or to give context when you don't understand it and Nicco definitely deserves more recognition, but man it was tough to get through.
and the line about her marketability needing a scalpel and not a tomahawk...WTF? This article went back & forth, condemning stereotypes but also relying on them. It's hard for Natives to trust non-native journalists, it's 50/50..they get it right or really fuck up
Apparently...he thinks Natives are a "large, proud, and troubled society"....first off, we're less than 2% of the U.S population. 2nd, we are proud but ewww way to really insert that noble savage trope, and lastly...troubled? troubled?
