Perhaps I really regard myself as an intelligent man only because throughout my entire life I've never been able to start or finish anything. Granted, granted I'm a babbler, a harmless, irksome babbler, as we all are. But what's to be done if the sole and express purpose of every intelligent man is babble- that is, a deliberate pouring from empty into void. -Fyodor Dostoevsky
Can we appreciate the fact that Drake has been saying for years now that he has a crush on Nicki and literally fell in love with her the first time he saw her (his words, not mine) and she has always maintained she loves him like a brother and he hasn’t once thrown a mantrum and complained about being ‘friendzoned’ or ‘brotherzoned’ and continues to support her and tell her that he loves and respects her.

none of your faves are unproblematic. none of your friends or family are unproblematic. you are not unproblematic. there is literally no point during the process of learning about social justice type stuff and unlearning internalized bullshit and dismantling power systems at which you magically become enlightened and unproblematic. it does not exist. there is no tangible finish line, there is only endless, arduous work and it’s hard but it needs to be done.

Lisa Bloom, (Gloria Allred’s daughter) is an attorney, author, CNN legal analyst, and founder of general-practice law firm The Bloom Firm. Let me just tell you it’s nice to see an actual lawyer reading McCulloch and his team for filth. These words aren’t more valuable because she’s a white woman, but it’s certainly heartening to see white allies publicly denouncing that miscarriage of justice.
Y’all should follow her on twitter.
Really respect this series of tweets by Lisa Bloom. Got me asking a number of questions that I had not yet considered.
