I low-key feel Black History Month should be re-named African-American History Month or Black American History Month because too many Americans of all colors, including black, seem to think this is a celebration of race when it is a celebration of CULTURE. African American culture. Every year some good and grown white American, who should […]
These photos were taken about 2 weeks apart. The first one (me in the maroon tee) was on my birthday, mid-January. I had a serious health emergency mid-Decemberish, almost died, all that, but was more or less recovered by Christmas, have mercy. Back at work after the holdiday break and though still dragging a bit, […]

So the African slave traders weren’t the villains for selling people to white people, they didn’t know the white slave owners would do all that raping and whipping and tearing families apart. The […]
Jen Angel has passed away. This is devastating to me. She was well known in the Oakland area as owner of Angel Cakes Bakery, but I knew her from zine stuff here in Ohio. I did not know her well but met her a few times years ago when the Allied Media Conference was still […]
Got to see my son Scott this weekend! He came out to see me for my birthday. We had the best time, and now my birthday month is complete! Egypt Simone was so excited to meet Scott also
