“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus” I believe Sonya Massey saw a demon in her kitchen and I believe that demon saw that she saw him. So he shot her in her eye. Historically US citizens have been conditioned to believe what we hear not what we see, particularly Black folk. And yet Sonya Massey saw him, she saw the demon and called on Jesus, and now we all see him too @jenishawattso writes beautifully, brutally in @theatlantic the Black woman particulars of this police killing of a woman in her home. It is a record, a eulogy and a traumatic prophecy – it will happen again. Photo: Sonya Massey’s daughter Jeanette, mother Donna son Malachi (Rashad Taylor /NYT) #SayHerName #SonyaMassey

“and her waist-length power braids, her hair having functioned as a sort of declaration of independence after leaving the East Wing. When her husband, Barack Obama, became the first Black president, she hadn’t felt the American people were ready for natural Black hair or braids in a First Lady” @vvfriedman for @nytimes @michelleobama image exemplified the power of Black hair as symbol of struggle, imagination liberation. #TheHairTales #PassTheCROWN (please tag hair stylist) ps her “power suit” was designed by @monsemaison Dominican Asian American design house.

no longer does one group, race or party get to claim, for the entirety of us, what’s country. whose country. big word that it is. Country. Look at country music, now. Charlie Pride must’ve been so lonesome. My Aunt Tiny says “going down the country” to mean to the farm, fishing lakes, rural areas. All my Sumter kin picked, shelled & ate fresh peas. I never had them growing up or fixed them as an adult. Made my first, pink eyes, flavorful l, tender, taste like a delicate black eyed, but they stay together. I’m returning to @thecookinggene first book for context & beginning to cook with his spices- the kitchen pepper is very special, useful, aromatic with deep memory. I let the first okra I grew dry in my kitchen window, I think I want to bronze it like a baby boot, next to a lone tomato that looks like a heart too little, too cracked to make it to the next dawn. (also @shaboozey fine) #PeoplesChoice #CountryLiving
