@Mwenyi Lovely list! Dunno if you're interested, but I thought of it because I saw ifa, palo, Santeria, and voudou--

There are a couple of books I love on rootwork/ hoodoo/conjure (which is an AfAm derivative, similar to voudou, Santeria, etc.):

Old Style Conjure by Starr Casas
Working Conjure by Hoodoo Send Moise

It's how my practice is mostly based, also coming from a heavily Christian family (southern baptists tho)

LOL, I legit have not said one thing to this person since I silenced witchesDOTlove, but somehow, magically, I'm COMBATIVE and AWFUL.

Ha, we're not even trying to make sense anymore.

It's all about making me the Angry Black Guy to distract from an obvious pattern of how she enables people to go after Black and Brown people.

And let's keep it all the way real. 🍊 does the same exact thing.

Issa script. White people cause drama and then blame everyone else for it.

LOL, cause... white.

Full stop. If you're more upset with me talking about white supremacist violence than the violence itself, you're just a racist.

It's not complicated, bruh.

I have no idea where to look for the rest of these photos that will trigger Link's memory.

I'm just going to be wandering around for MONTHS.

For some reason, I'm really looking forward to this.

@jalcine Well, it makes its easy to find out who we should block.

We literally have all of the instances that interact with them the de-federated.

This is actually useful.

For the white people that keep fucking asking me WHAT WE CAN DO and continue to ignore the literal MILLIONS of POCs that have told y'all what to do for literally centuries and need white people to tell you what do do, go here:

Because y'all don't listen to us, so listen to white people that are basically saying the same thing we are.

2019 is going to be a big year for Social.

Keep up to date and support over @ http://patreon.com/Are0h

Social simply would not be here if it wasn't for the support of the community and I'm committed to make better tools and services for them.

We can do better, so let's do it.

@darius has been doing some quality work in lowering the bar of entry for folks to enter the fedi on their own terms, so this is a must read. Great piece.

I mean... I just think it's funny how white folks are always like GET OVER IT, IT'S THE INTERNET when we get slurs, insults and abuse thrown at us, but will start a Trent Lott like CRUSADE when one suggests they alter their language and pro-noun usage a bit. LOL, they legit act like it's the end of the world.

And don't even get me started on how white people melthdown when they experience 1/100th of the abuse marginalized people endure everyday.

It's not funny... but that's why it's funny.

So I bought some new workout gear and I feel like I should go outside and yell aggressive encouragement at people.

If you're a 'centrist' and you believe targets of bigotry should accept harm and abuse on the basis of 'fairness', lol, you're not a centrist.

You're just a bigot. And cowardly asshole.

A zombie movie, but while white folks go all Walking Dead, Brown and Black folks thrive because it breaks the cycle of systemic racism.

Ha, let's see if we can get that green lit.

Watching these debates really reveals how cruel we are as a country to everyone not rich and white.

It's amazing how common sense ideas are just not considered because we don't want to piss off an electorate that is hell bent on punishing everyone out of spite.

Me before for slight context

* whitelists are not a bad idea - that's low-key how you live life
* If someone has deep experience of harassment, hands off the keyboard, pencils up and take notes
* Avoid immediately defending your privelege and work to dismantle if you're in the camp of equity and equality
*Don't start none and there won't be none 👊🏿

@GinnyMcQueen for the record, they never did say sorry for the bots blocking the post.
