Repost from @ndncollective 50 years ago on this day, Indigenous resistors, grassroots community members, and members of the #AmericanIndianMovement came together at Wounded Knee, South Dakota in what would be a 71-day occupation in protest of the violation of Indigenous treaty rights, while also shining light on murders of Native American people and the lenient sentences given to white perpetrators. Also as a response to oppressive GOON tactics on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the takeover at Wounded Knee catalyzed the Red Power Movement in the 70s and lent itself to a long legacy of Indigenous resistance. Today, we carry on the same spirit of resistance, remembering where we came from, while keeping a keen eye on the future of building Indigenous power. Today, we remember all of the resistors and organizers of our past, and all of our relatives who made sacrifices during this era so that we all may realize and know our power while continuing to fight for our inherent rights unapologetically. STAY TUNED for NDN Collective livestream coverage of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Wounded Knee Occupation on FB, IG, YouTube, and Twitter later today. #LiberationDay #WoundedKneeOccupation #LANDBACK https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLZ22pPXD_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Gotta move Chlöe over to my list of artist brands to never financially participate in. Go ahead and comment your nonsense so I can block you because I don't compromise on attempted murderers. To take it *there* .. fuck Beyoncé. IDC IDC. She two-stepped on Shirley Chisolm's grave by crossing the picket line to have an #OscarsSoWhite party, like the Congresswomxn ain't 70% of the reason Beyonce could live life lavishly enough to have the choice to disrespect her legacy instead of being a domestic worker with no rights like most of us could've been without her. It's disgusting and on brand with not using your power to stop your mentee from working with someone who tries to murder your husband's coworker. TF? And before you say something about it's not within her control or her responsibility, she discovered her. Auntie has every ability to make a call and pay off the debt to Chlöe's label might've incurred by refusing to do this. Y'all own stock in Shirley Chisolm's BROOKLYN Nets. Grow the fuck up. The oblivious diva who has no influence over her husband's financial decisions and uses her celebrity for Activism she can monetize act is old and it was never cute. Black feminisms don't give a shit bout your prenup. I expect more out of all of us. Rihanna almost became a Missing And Murdered Black Person and that nigga has yet to stop beating womxn. Matter of fact, the only woman he didn't beat is his manager, who has her own list of workplace violence claims against him. He didn't get dropped from the AMAs cuz of what he did 15 ish years ago. He got dropped cuz he hasn't stopped doing it. Nigga had time and needed a check and now Chlöe's celebrity is powering his misogynoir capitalism. Fuck. That. I'm good with manifesting my answer by not streaming the song. I'm just tired of Auntie Carter behaving like her brand can't afford for her to move like she's Solange "Money-Where-Her-Fist-Connects" Knowles' big sister--silently behind the scenes or out in the open. I hope her winless album of the year Grammy streak continues as long as she continues playing in the limelight like Black feminisms are just another costume change or bridge you can ffwd thru. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGPpVGPCbb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

20 years ago today I got my first cell phone at the 7/11 at Calvert St. and Connecticut Ave in Cleveland park. I was mad late. A chick I went back to the Capitol Hill Day School sandbox with already had that silver sprint flip phone with the outside screen the size of a 37¢ stamp. (THAT WAS EXPENSIVE! Grandma used to send me to CVS with EXACT CHANGE to get stamps for Uncle Dewey's care packages. 🤫 He wasn't at summer camp. And he wasn't my only great Uncle in prison. Fuck Reagan.)
Blue nokia with the snake. NO TEXTS, NO BREAKS. (For real, you had to throw that birch on concrete to make the battery pop out. I used to flex my minutes. So ice-ayyye...)
They told us to duck and zig zag at the bus stop. The original Dab. We with our LLBean and Rolly backpacks, keeping up with the Kardashians who Took New York Ave and made it 🤢"nOmA"🤮.. riding the 90s and Xs on half-off student tokens (the only thing we were allowed to buy at the crook store) from McLean Gardens to Connecticut Ave. Monopoly is not just a board game at KB Toys, Y'all. On Capitol Hill, Social was the only Capitol that made bank. My Tiffany's bracelet was always Second Prize. Modell was our fiercest competition..
But I regress 🥄👶🏾
Lee Boyd Malvo was a child. If you take his life, without parole, for multiple sentences, that makes s 37 teenager with no way to phone home or even make a friend. They took anythingWikipedia him because it's but 2002 anymore, Wikipedia is reliable, and if you reaching for abolitionist panties then staying here may convince you not even Red Onion VA Supermax villains deserve a life of death. On whatever g_d you don't believe in.
Y'all too quick to Marvolo this dude, trust me. I'm a fucking sylther*n.
The Capitol 🏛️ (not the DMV 🦀🔨They are not the same. The whitest house is in a zipcode in chocolate city 🍫 🌆 My City 🏢 Penn Ave is the Red Line even when freedom skips a state

Homemade Red Lobster Cheesy Biscuit Pizza Crust
I know what you’re thinking – I could never make a homemade pizza, none the less a red lobster cheesy bread pizza crust.
I was grocery shopping at Walmart when out of the corner of my eye I saw a box mix of Red Lobster’s cheesy bread just staring at me. I instantly thought I would try and make a ‘za crust out of it. To my surprise, it ended up tasting quite delicious and only took 30 minutes of pretending to be domestic in the kitchen.
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients
- Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- A stick of butter
- ½ a cup of sharp cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup of water
- Pizza pan or casserole
- non stick cooking spray
- Pizza sauce of choice
- Bag of Mozzarella cheese
- Johnsonville All Natural Ground Mild Italian Sausage
Instructions
- Preheat the over to 425°.
- Stir together the biscuit mix, ½ cup of cheddar cheese and ¾ cup of water. Make sure not to over stir.
- Spray your pizza pan with non stick cooking spray.
- Pour stirred content into your pizza pan and put in the over for 6 minutes. You want your biscuits to be almost done but not completely cooked fully.
- Take pizza crust out of the oven. Add pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and Italian sausage (or toppings of choice). I added crushed red pepper and onions for extra flavor.
- Put back in the oven for 5 minutes.
tried it. needs tweaks but tasty. biscuit was way too biscuit. like bojangles biscuit casserole and somehow too cloud-like and fluffy. definitely use a pan bigger than a 9 in round.

PSA from the actual coiner of “neurodivergent”
Yo. Many of you need to take an entire stadium of seats. Like a football arena in Texas number.
I coined neurodivergent before tumblr was even a thing, like a decade or more ago, because people were using ‘neurodiverse’ and ‘neurodiversity’ to just mean autistic, & possibly LDs. But there’s more, like way more, ways a person can have a different yet fucking perfect dammit brain.
Neurodivergent refers to neurologically divergent from typical. That’s ALL.
I am multiply neurodivergent: I’m Autistic, epileptic, have PTSD, have cluster headaches, have a chiari malformation.
Neurodivergent just means a brain that diverges.
Autistic people. ADHD people. People with learning disabilities. Epileptic people. People with mental illnesses. People with MS or Parkinsons or apraxia or cerebral palsy or dyspraxia or no specific diagnosis but wonky lateralization or something.
That is all it means. It is not another damn tool of exclusion. It is specifically a tool of inclusion. If you don’t want to be associated with Those People, then YOU are the one who needs another word. Neurodivergent is for all of us.
Annoyedly yours,
Neurodivergent K of Radical Neurodivergence Speaking
Marge Simpson is a black woman
Imma tell you why…
1. She has nappy hair and sleeps in a bonnet so her hair won’t dry out 2. Bovier (her maiden name) is prolly creole 3. Lisa is woke as fuck 4. Lisa has a twist out and Bart has a high top (look at the hair Ned Flanders and his children have) 5. Patty and Selma don’t like Homer because he’s white
Therefore, The Simpsons is America’s first interracial family.
Happy Black History Month!
Oh shit.
YYOOOOOOOOO lol
An animated TV show called _High Yellow_ where all the characters are Black, but the wellkindas are yellow. Episode 1 is a crossover called “yellow-ish” in which Rainbow and Junior are yellow and everyone else is golden brown, to brown, to dark skinned. Fair skinned, freckled, and ginger Blacks, and those with vitiligo are represented earnestly and accurately. The gag is that the comedy is a seething satire of colorism and the enduring vestiges of chattel enslavement along the transatlantic coast. The narrators’ voices belong to a rotating cast of people who built their family trees back to nonconsensual white ancestral masters. I get to start cuz it’s my idea and South Carolina Governor responsible for the secession, William Gist, is my great^4 grandfather.
Cite me.
P.S. ✋🏾This emoji and those like it aren’t even accurate. Seriously, unambiguously colorful folk reading: look at your palm... DEI is whatever but this is just inaccurate pandering. Over it.
Image Description: an illustrated guide to palm reading that labels the lines including four example palms that are colored in so one is dark brown, one is light brown, one is white, and the last is melanated and shows pigment loss from vitiligo.
