“Rich Black folks choose their own interests over the community’s all the time.” 🫰🏽 🫰🏽🫰🏽

I’ve always wanted to do this to a man; they just seem so repressed.

I appreciate that Kennedy Ryan is using her platform to talk about how many protections and ventures were dismantled to stop their mission of lessening the economic disparity between Black people and white people, but honestly I would’ve been fine if this was left out. It’s just a sharp reminder of reality.

“His words water my dry places” 💞💞💞💞

Bi-curious George is hilarious

I hate that I’m such a completionist. I haven’t touched that book in weeks but I still keep it in my Currently Reading and for what?

Okay here come the waterworks 😭

Why is Hendrix me when somebody says a long grace? 🤭

“Father, forgive me for I have whored.” 😂😂😂
Hendrix’s story being the funniest completely tracks

“pre-Sunken Place Kanye” 😭

Mav really has a way of throwing in fully weighted statements that niggle their way into the heart.

“Masturbatory streaming” 😂

Damn he’s making me melt too 🤭

Thinking back, the scene with the assistants felt very trope-y. Like way too on the nose. It feels out of place but I only know Kennedy Ryan’s work from this series only so that might be her thing.

I’m into Maverick; he’s sensitive to other’s feeling and needs, and doesn’t bother with bullshit or fake shit. Plus, he’s kind of funny too.

I’m about to be sobbing at the end of this, ain’t I? 😭

I’m predicting Zere’s mogul boyfriend is going to be checking for either Hendrix or Chapel.

Isabel Wilkerson is dropping gems and the text is surprisingly aware for the times it was published in and the NYT gave their seal of approval.

“…carried out by disaffected whites against groups perceived as threats to their survival…riots would become to the North what lynchings we’re to the South, each a display of uncontained rage by put-upon people directed toward the scapegoats of their condition.”

Jesse Owen’s was so brave for even going to Nazi Germany and he was spot on about the difference between American and Germany being negligible.

Okay so I knew that Irish immigrants in America at one point were considered non-white, but I feel like in modern times people take that combined with the fact that Ireland supports Palestine as proof they aren’t racist or that they are allies when that’s not historically or currently true.

I used to live about 20 miles from the border with Beloit, WI and I never would have guessed it was part of the Great Migration. History is all around us.

I just realized Audre isn’t just named after Audre Lorde; she’s named after Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison. Cool

I loved this so much I have to read again while I have it checked out.

Yeah Edward gotta die cause how you gone do that to your “princesses”?

“Rin had been living so long on the extractive capabilities of the empire she fought for, she’d never learned to forage for herself.”

A picture of modern American life.

They are so cute together 🤗

Wait is the phone still recording?

Inez is going to find out and give Soledad hell for it

Ain’t no way!

Damn Judah 🤭
