Oh man, I had almost forgotten how amazing "Chewing Gum" is. Michaela Coel is an absolute star! #ReWatchSunday

If you can avoid COVID, avoid it. Especially if you’re already chronically ill.

I know you’re the only one in a mask. I know what the harassment is like when you’re by yourself.

And I’m tell you everything you are doing to protect yourself is worth it and you’re doing the right thing.

Thread. And let me tell you from someone who wrote a book about white supremacist resistance: it was an intergenerational affair. And teen-agers very consciously took sides (and/or chose to ignore adults). Most importantly: the Black teen-agers in (N)LR took the brunt of it all.

“What happened after the Brown vs Board of Education ruling on racial integration? There was “Massive Resistance” in the South. Excellent new book on racism and gender, by Rebecca Bruckmann (@historleans). (For illustration, I’ve added photos of protests & media).”

“Being big your body is politicized.
Being black your skin is politicized.
Being a women your gender is politicized.
