ADHD is getting annoyed when people don’t get right to the point. ADHD is also over explaining to avoid misunderstandings. Now I know some of y’all looking at those two sentences like they can’t live in the same body, like a person can’t be the one tapping their foot while you tell a story AND the one who needs eleven minutes to tell you why they was late, but I’m here to tell you how it ain’t a c...

I got 4,000 screenshots in my camera roll right now, and I’m being honest too, because I’m not about to stand up here during ADHD Awareness Month talking about brain science like I’m outside the problem. Receipts, book recommendations, tweets that changed my whole life, a video I swore I was gonna make, a thread I promised myself I’d come back to.. I ain’t came back to it at all. Most of y’all rea...

A little old white lady clutched her purse when a Black man stepped onto the elevator, and in that one second she did more sociology than most PhD programs do in a whole decade, because she wrote his entire life off his skin, wrote the beginning, wrote the ending, and convicted him before the doors even closed, and she ain’t never even met him. Today we ain’t talking about her purse. Today we talk...

Christine Wonsley posted on Sunday, September 20. All she wanted for her birthday was to hug her son and hear his jokes. That Wednesday before, Nolan would have turned 19.

We are looking right at a cultural phenomenon that refuses to name itself, and that avoidance is precisely where the pathology lives. When you trace how dominant power structures operate across generations, you realize that the refusal to confront historical reality is not an accidental oversight; it is an active, engineered cognitive defense mechanism. Scholars across disciplines have spent decad...

I said there are certain communities that is always already viewed as being classless. Sit with that. Not poor. Not working class. Not lumpen. Classless. Outside the ledger entirely. Because a class analysis is a counting exercise before it is anything else, and if your state...
