#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Politics #WhiteSupremacy #FascistsI don’t normally join in general conversations about what the hell is happening in our country now because I find many, many American people are passive participants in the democratic process. They don’t bother to educate themselves on anything and just enjoy the rights that other people constantly fight to protect. But TODAY, I am talking to you assholes that claim both parties are the same. Read to the end of the damn thread. 1/5

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Politics #WhiteSupremacy #FascistsYou both side people are either Russian trolls or completely ignorant about how our country works. I am sick to death of this bullshit. No Democratic administration has ever tried to turn DC into a federal plantation. No Dems have ever snatched babies out of a hospital and deported them. No Dems have ever sent masked, armed thugs into neighborhoods smashing car windows and snatching people off the street. 2/5

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Politics #WhiteSupremacy #FascistsIf you think both sides are the same I challenge you to get your asses on a plane, train, or bus and come to DC and help us escort our children to school this week so they won’t be terrorized by armed military thugs. Come down here and walk the fucking streets with us every day, all day long as we try to keep our neighbors safe. Help us provide corridors so people can go to their places of worship without being kidnapped. 3/5

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Politics #WhiteSupremacy #FascistsAnd if that is too damn hard for you because it actually would require you to DO SOMETHING, then go ahead and post in the replies your examples of how both parties are the same. I’ll save you some ink though, let’s not rest on the “Obama did…” bullshit. Obama never threatened American democracy the way it is being challenged now. So tell me how your self absorbed, theoretical understanding of life leads to your convictions. 4/5

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Politics #WhiteSupremacy #FascistsRussian trolls and sycophants need not respond. Those of youresponding get ready to have your asses shred, because real people, real black and brown people are suffering every damn day because of your bullshit. Yes, the Dems could have and should have done better, but you “both sides” mother fuckers are actively aiding the establishment of a fascist regime. You are more dangerous to democracy then the republicans could ever be. 5/5

@snarkweek I have no problem with allies but allies have to work in conjunction with the communities who are impacted. We have now on several occasions had to caution "allies" who have endangered our vulnerable communities because they do not consult with us ahead of time. Left allies OFTEN ignore the advice of local activists of color. Your national issue is NO excuse for endangering my local community. You are no ally of mine if you come with that "worse than" rhetoric.

@futurebird I am pulling for Mamdani with all my strength. He is showing HOW to reach and galvanize the people who are not being heard and whose interests government does not protect. He is a politician who understands the times we are in now.

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #WeAreAllDC #Resistance #DistrictOfColumbia Shout out to all the thousands of people who came out to support our city today. We are all DC. Special shout to the out of state folks who lined our route and those that marched. We see you Vermont, Maryland and Virginia. I'm sure there were others. As the chant goes: When we fight, we win. Stay strong everyone. FREE DC!...and LA and Chicago.

@futurebird My children were raised on Kwanzaa values rather than Christmas. I was working two jobs at the time to feed and clothe them. I wasn't going to allow them to believe some white man with a beard cared enough to leave them presents. Nope...not a thing. We have some great memories of making Kwanzaa decorations and preparing for the 6th night when gifts were exchanged.

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #Reading Looking at the recent pile of books, I realized I hadn’t posted titles in a while. Some are from the Most Anticipated African Authors list of the year. I like to scour that one for authors I don’t already know. Normally, I’m mostly a sci-fi, speculative fiction reader but I do branch out to keep up with diverse authors from all over the world. I picked up a couple of books I didn’t like, they aren’t listed. Here are the ones I liked. 1/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #Reading Esperance by Adam Oyebanji – I may have talked about this book in an independent post but its worth repeating. This is a murder mystery where the first death seems to have a connection to the ocean in a place where there is no ocean . It’s a tale of retribution, revenge and the consequences of seeking them, centered around diasporic experiences. I don’t normally read murder mystery, but it has an African connection, so I needed to read it! 2/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #ReadingHarmattan Season by Tochi Onyebuchi. This was a strange but enjoyable story. Set in a time where there is some kind of French colonialism going on. It’s not clear that it’s within our known timeline. Location unknown but someplace in West Africa, although it may not be any part of West Africa that we know. It’s a story of resistance to oppression with a new twist that has some magical elements to it. Had to read it twice to catch everything. 3/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #Readingsomeone birthed them broken by ama asantewa diaka (short stories) – I said I was going to stop reading depressing stuff but apparently I lied. The stories are well written about some very dysfunctional people whose lives intersect in various ways, none of which seem to be good. Themes are universal: entitlement, longing, greed, etc. but with African aesthetics 4/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #ReadingThe Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy edited by Nnedi Okorafor. It was interesting to see what she picked. The selection is very varied, including traditional sci-fi, fantasy, and some horror. Many are quite thought provoking. Also read Jamaica Ginger and Other Concoctions by Nalo Hopkinson whose sci-fi is infused with a Caribbean flavor and her focus on the environmental issues. Her writing is always enjoyable. 5/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #ReadingMy Asian selection was Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao – a tale of what can happen on a quiet street in Tokyo when you think you are just going to eat some ramen and end up instead in a pawnbroker’s place where trading regrets for peace of mind has a higher price then is apparent at first. Magic infuses the pawnbroker’s world and when a customer enters and won’t leave, the hijinks start. Enjoyable read. 6/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #Reading I picked up The Naming Song by Jedediah Berry while strolling through an independent book store. In this world people lose the ability to recognize words or their meanings. The protagonist’s job it is to go out discover the words, fix their meaning so they can be taught to the people. A shadowy group is causing havoc to the process. It’s slow at points but the build up to the climax is good and I didn’t guess what the key to ending it was. 7/8

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Books #ReadingFighting through cancer, Martha Wells still managed to get a new book out called Queen Demon. It continues the story of the immortals from Witch King as they battle the Hierarchs. As before, within the same book, she tells the story in the past and 60 years ahead in the future. Martha never disappoints! She can build a world so vivid you can smell it and taste it. If you are a Wells fan, it’s a must read. Enjoy. Reading is a panacea. 8/8

@futurebird Accents are definitely still a thing. When I was in the classroom and excited about a concept, my Floridian students would say "Wow, you are really from NY!" which of course I was. My children were raised in NJ, they both have a northern NJ accent and my grandson is born and raised in MD. Sometimes, my daughter and I look at him and shake our heads. He speaks like a Marylander. LOL . When in the deep south my daughter had to translate for me because my ear catch what was being said.
