from The Sun does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton

“Can they put me to death while you are investigating and we’re appealing?” I held my breath.

“No, Mr. Hinton. They can’t put you to death while your case is in the courts.”

I put my head down on the table and took a few breaths. When I lifted my head back up, I knew I had tears in my eyes, but [his white woman attorney] Santha didn’t say anything about that [which was a kindness].

I honestly don’t know which makes me laugh the hardest. The fact of what the lyrics actually are or the hysterical laughter of one of the men discussing this. This is my favorite video of the year so far.🩵🦁🦁🦁🩵

Lovely Peeps, the newspaper link no longer works (which is a shame because it was a great article) but I still love the idea, so am moving over my original post without it - & now there is a website! 😊

. .. ...

🚨​ Love this! 😃​

#BlackMenFlowerProject, a nonprofit centering the health & well-being of #BlackMen since 2021, is asking #Black men to nominate others they know for flower delivery as a way to show appreciation & build community.

Already in a few cities, #florists in more are enquiring about joining, and there may soon be a nationwide network of Black men connecting with each other through nature. 💪​

@thispastorslife, a white pastor wrote the below. I mentioned that they are white bc over 75% white people are racist - source below; so it's worth pointing out when a white person is cool.

The Bluff released in 2026 made in Australia which might explain why it's racist.

includes an asian woman unconvincingly acting as a Caribbean woman most brutally attacked by Black Men reinforcing negative stereotypes so I rated it 1
