I lost a red earring at the hotel. RIP new jewelry set.

Zahira Kelly-Cabrera calls for Dominican women to support sex workers because the descrimination against them is against us, too.

Dominican women are raised to be prudes but are notorious as sex workers. To liberate sex workers from descrimination is to free ourselves sexually as well.

I believe sex workers should be supported for being human but this is one of the more personal aspects I take to it.

It's a lot of money but a clever tactic so I'm tickled.

St. Kitts & Nevis has a program right now where if you buy real estate and development it, you can get citizenship. They got stomped by some hurricanes and this is a way to get foreign investors to help rebuild.

I just heard about the latest #permitpatty incident

Good grief.

Hanif Abdurraqib is awesome and, while I need to sit down and read his books, I love watching the videos of him recite his own works.

MyBlackMatters: "As a black woman, what's the hardest part about creating a space for yourself in spaces that lack representation?"

Please stop calling the police to report black people existing.

White people do the darnedest things. 🤐

I remember in elementary school my teacher didn't know what a plantain was and told me to stop drawing rotten bananas. I explained to her what it was. She told me I shouldn't draw it because other people wouldn't know what it was.

I remember drinking Malta Goya growing up and my parents wouldn't let me drink it outside. They were worried our white neighbors would report them for letting me drink, what they thought was, alcohol.

I'd like to petition the following holiday name change in the United States.

The Cinco de Mayo holiday should be called:

Cinco do Gringo

"Leave politics out of tech."

People build tech. People use tech. You cannot have tech without people. So, yes, people will be bringing politics, rights, and representation into tech with them.

The only people I see whining about politics being brought into tech are (checks notes) oh look. White men.
