This week on @fixitpod we’ve got another installment of the Round Robin games! So instead of just one topic we’re watching sharing things we’d like to fix. First up, getting a new therapist! The idea of bringing a new person up to speed has Fran stressed out!! Have you made the therapist switch? How did you handle it?? Or what about seeing your therapist in the wild?? It’s just too weird!

Do you remember when everyone was talking about #TheNewBlack mindset? Well, this is not new concept! In the early 1900s, it was the New Negro where NAACP co-founder W.E.B. DuBois shared the concept of the Talented Tenth. Though it was viewed as progressive by some, this led to major beef with civil rights leaders Booker T. Washington who had opposing views and backlash for being elitist. Share your thoughts on the Talented Tenth concept below?👇🏾 Hear more on my new podcast #BlackHistoryForReal co-hosted by @chescaleigh wherever you get your podcasts

Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen was long considered a shining example of W.E.B. Dubois’ “Talented Tenth.” So much so that W.E.B. was eager to marry him off to his daughter Yolande. But whispers surrounding Countee’s sexuality along with temptation at every corner threatened their union from the start. @theconsciouslee and I dive into this fascinating story and the ways in which homophobia continues to thrive in even the most “progressive” spaces on episode 7 of #BlackHistoryForReal “Dilemma | The Talented Tenth” listen wherever you get your favorite podcasts! New episodes every Monday!

When BlackPlanet went live in 1999 — nearly three years before Friendster, four years before MySpace, five years before Facebook, and seven years before Twitter — the internet was still seen by many as a giant library. Sure, the web had chat rooms, bulletin boards, and listservs. But BlackPlanet expanded what it meant to commune online: The site arguably laid the foundation for social media as we know it.
Now, nearly 25 years later, looking back at BlackPlanet’s glory days can be more than just an exercise in nostalgia.
“Today’s social-media platforms often seem designed to reward the worst in humanity, subjecting their users to rampant hate speech and misinformation,” writes Hannah Giorgis. “Perhaps by revisiting BlackPlanet and the story of its rise, we can start to envision a different future for the social web — this time, one with the potential to be kinder, less dangerous, and more fun than what the past two decades have given us.”
