“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter

I don’t know about you, but I needed this purity in my life and on my timeline.
The Backstreet Boys performing I Want It That Way together from each of their homes is exactly what I needed today.
OMGGGGGGG

White supremacy and blatant racism has held the US back since the beginning.

“Story I learned last night: I started Girl Scouts in first grade and was an active scout until I was 17 (12th grade) - did ALL the GS stuff and loved my scouting experience. I was a GS national delegate. My troop, 1001, was in Detroit and almost all black.
Our leaders were Black women and they genuinely loved us. Because they loved us, we did ALL the GS things: we sold cookies, and earned badges, and did community service, and went camping.
Real camping - out in the ‘forest.’ Cabins and s’mores and trails and knapsacks and walking sticks and campfires and songs and lakes and ALL THE THINGS.
LOVED IT.
I was young when I started camping, maybe 4th or 5th grade, don’t remember exactly. But I do remember getting in our cars, with our paper lunches and sleeping bags and flashlights and books of badges to earn outside and being so excited.
We would drive a VERY LONG TIME (at least to a 9 year old) and end up at the campgrounds. And then we’d learn the camp rules and review the Girl Scout requirements: leave a space better than you found it, clean your trash, be kind, have fun. And we did all those things.
My memories of camping are [100 emoji] wonderful and positive and I’m getting warm fuzzies.
Last night I talked to my best friend, who’s mom was one of our leaders and camp chaperones. We were talking about camp, and her mom mentioned staying up with two other moms all night, taking stations at each door and window of our cabin and having night watch.
‘Night watch?’ I asked, genuinely confused. ‘What kind of bears did y’all think were going to open the door of our cabin and eat us?’ [laugh cry emoji] I asked, jokingly.
She got quiet. ‘Not bears,’ she said, ‘the Klan.’
Silence. ‘What?’
‘The Klan.’
Yesterday I learned that one of our GS camps was in Howell, Michigan. This Howell: [attached is an article titled “Why is Howell considered the KKK capital of Michigan?”]
Howell is about an hour outside of Detroit, halfway to Lansing. To me, a kid somewhere between 8-12, camping was fun. To our mother and leaders, camping was potentially dangerous.
But, they wanted us to experience ALL the experiences Girl Scouts have. They just had night watch so we could. So they stood watch - all night. In the 90s.
This is NOT a post to debate the rational of us camping in Howell. That’s not the fair conversation to have.
This is a post to illuminate how deeply unfair it is to live in a state of terrorized, racial fear. How that fear creates a space for ongoing trauma.
How Black mothers have to exist in a dual space: providing all social and cultural experiences that you believe your daughters need and being constantly aware of the dangers that exist in non black spaces where those experiences often are.”

Shipping companies rn:
Someone on twitter said that there basically was no word for Black ppl in Brazil and I retweeted it saying that it was a lie. I soon deleted that tweet cuz after thinking about it, and having white Brazilians coming for me, I was like “Hmm lemme see something real quick” cuz I didn’t want to come off as rude or acting like I know it all. I did a quick google search and this came up.
Brazil has the largest population of Black ppl after Africa. They were brought to Brazil due to slavery. Don’t play with me just cuz you don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re just being ignorant on purpose.
i adore all of the stupid little names they give to the shittiest jobs on the market. if its something like “team member :)” you KNOW youll be in tears by the end of the day. just saw target use “guest advocate”. i assure you, customers dont need advocates, they WILL stand up for themselves and we both know it
