first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me” she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us” when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn what is “reassurance”, in this place ? rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

The first “cow boys” in the United States were the enslaved African ancestors of the Gullah Geechee in coastal Sooth Carolina, the birthplace of our country’s cattle industry.
I’m from the same town as the Murdaughs. Before they became a big name, our town was basically unheard of. We’ve since gained national attention, but media coverage rarely captures the lighter side of our area: our entire county has a rich, rural culture that still thrives. I’m fortunate to document this side of Hampton County, South Carolina.

“You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it’s for me. I don’t dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.” - Iris Apfel has passed away at the age of 102. 🕊️

An incarcerated brother I am in correspondence with donated $17.74 for relief efforts in Gaza. This donation is the sum of 136 hours of his labor in the prison working as a porter/janitor. May his sincere donation be multiplied by the Creator. #Gaza #ceasefirenow

Rest in Power, Miss Josephine. I can’t help but think the stress she’s been under—from the developer who tried to run her off her land—played a part in her death. Stress kills.

I hope you’re following master sweetgrass basket maker Corey Alston on the socials. He’s one of the young ones keeping this Gullah-Geechee art form alive. P.S.—men always made coil baskets too. Photo credit: Joel Caldwell via #corey_alston_sweethrassbasket

i just saw a video of a Palestine boy searching for the remains of his family in rubble and its just one thousands of terrible videos of children in distress see on my timeline everyday and they’re all caused by Israel and their army
Two weeks away at war, this dad comes home to surprise his kid. I’m not crying. You’re crying. 🇮🇱
