Again and I’m gonna say it with EMPHASIS . be KIND. Because people are not running on large well springs of can right now . INCLUDING ME

And there are people who are LEAPING and I mean pas de deux SWAN LAKE style , to say stuff and be seen saying stuff.

And let me keep it 💯💯💯💯with you. Every Sunday editorial wringing hands will be written by a person , who anywhere from 2months to 2 years ago ? Told black folks to shut up

The New York Times Editorial board will run something thinking it balances letting Bari Weiss call us fascists and Michelle Goldberg telling black people to calm down

The Nation , that bastion of leftism? Has more covers calling BLACK WOMEN the problem of online than the right wing.

When I say “right wing troll tactics STARTED ON ME AND MINE “ I’m not being fictive kinship allegorical . I’m being factually honest

I don’t list my credentials but let me put it to you plain .. between me @losowsky @gjbarb @opennews @mozilla .. there has not been a news source or media outlet that hasn’t heard “ DO NOT DO THIS” from me or my work or my colleagues

They did it.

And between WOC blogging, LJ , Black women in general and #solidarityisforwhitewomen ... I’ve been going CAN WE NOT for almost 15 years .. which is funny as I just turned THIRTY FUCKING FOUR

My kidneys almost failed a year ago THIS WEEK, begging Jack to donate and stop Nazis , so I could go be with @EmilyGorcenski to talk about how no one was taking this seriously

Me asking you to be kind is both from my good heart and my unfortunately LONG experience in dealing with this

Let me put it to you plain: you are not smarter than me and you probably ain’t got my endurance . Smart? Ain’t stop shit . Stubborn is only partially helpful know what’s kept me going . KIND . KINDNESS KEEPS US UP WHEN INTELLECT FAILS

KINDNESS keeps us cohesive when empathy is unavailable . ( and they’re not the same )

And if you can not access your kindness right now ? DO NOT TALK TO PEOPLE . You will hurt them in ways you can not get back and we NEED EACH OTHER

And if you can not be kind to me... fam hog the Internet has been trying to kill me or trying to get out of being held accountable for watching 2/3 of the other half try to kill me for ALMOST HALF MY LIFE

I half survived on pure GUYANESE🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾 SPITE ,the fixedness of a Leo raises by a Scorpio Aquarius and a Taurus , and KINDNESS . Of people like you, TO people like you , WITH people like you

And I’m as you can probably tell a) STUBBORN and B) Loyal so if you can not BE one of my people , you better be KIND to my PEOPLE , or I will try and FEED YOU TO MY PEOPLE . By. My . SELF

I’m not gonna win every time . It’s happened so often but I AM . THOR . It only kills me if I die . And if I don’t die? I AM COMING BACK WITH THE HAMMER

We are gonna need HAMMERS now. And let’s not waste them on each other when there are so SO many muhfuggers who need to knocked around more

So let em mashup my two cardinal stars : Mrz Rogers and BLADE

Stop being a motherfucker trying to ice skate UPHILL and be kind . And if you can. It be kind to the person you are talking to ? Go talk to someone ELSE
