It's hitting me how the slow arc of justice my elders fought and died to set in motion has been halted by the Calais decision. This morning, I was on a call with another (highly accomplished) middle-aged Black women and this is how we processed it together: We are realizing that we (including our younger elder millennial sisters) are likely to be the LAST generation of Black women who will achieve so much. This decision is not just a gutting of the VRA but the highest court's massive rejection of the idea that this country is, indeed, a land of opportunity for everyone. The court is now an overt and explicitly complicit engine of white nationalism. THAT is how much anti-Blackness has been simmering underneath this facade of 'American democracy.' So now, Black folks, we need to decide. Retreat, close ranks to protect our own, and/or fight for a renewed Reconstruction on top of the smoldering ruins of this gotdamn system? #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #SCOTUS #CivilRights #BlackHistoryEveryDay

George Washington Carver, best known for his scientific innovations, was also an artist who experimented with natural pigments since childhood. These paint swatches at the GW Carver Museum at Tuskegee show the color palettes he developed using natural #clay from Alabama. He freely shared recipes detailing the process of turning clay into house paint so that those with little or no money could still enjoy beautiful surroundings. #BlackFedi #AddToBlacksky #WildClay #art #BlackHistory

Bashy's "How Black Men Lose Their Smile" from the 2024 album "Being Poor Is Expensive" is one of the realest things ever recorded. Phenomenal work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtvr1tBVUZE #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #music

Happy New Year! Today is also Imani (Faith), the last day of #Kwanzaa which we have been celebrating as a community since the day after Christmas. We gathered and ate food from the African diaspora: jollof rice, jerk chicken, etc. I also made the unity cup for the Kwanzaa table this year decorated with black, red and green foraged clays. It’s easy to identify what we’re against but celebrating the principles of Kwanzaa reminds us what we need more of in 2026 and beyond. #BlackFedi
