Don’t Forget On Pride Month

You will meet many disabled and mentally ill people who won’t fit into your idea of how a mentally ill or disabled person is supposed to look and act - and the solution to that is to let them expand your knowledge of what mental illness and disability can look like, not insisting that they aren’t actually disabled or mentally ill because they don’t fulfill certain stereotypes.

I've noticed that a lot of people are doing whatever they can to not acknowledge that Toyin was murdered by a Black man. That she was the victim of Black men throughout her life.

But we need to acknowledge that sexist violence is real. That many people who support Black men or are even anti-police brutality more broadly still will casually abuse, assault, and even murder Black women.

Black women are under attack within our own community. Just as women of all races are under attack by the men in their communities.

But if BLM as a social movement is going to work out we need to hold our community to a higher standard and actively address, call out, and correct the violence Black men impart on Black women.

That starts with naming the problem. And "good" Black men need to take the most active part in addressing the problem because it's their acquaintances, their brothers, friends, cousins, etc who are friendly and in solidarity with them all while they abuse every Black woman around them other than their momma who are the problem.

the toronto police killed a black woman today at one hundred high park and there has been virtually no reporting on it. you can look at her brother’s instagram video here. her name was regis korchinski-paquet.

For those who don’t know, I launched my hair care company not too long ago. I’m currently selling a unisex hair & beard growth serum that’s all natural, high quality, coconut oil free, and makes your beard & scalp feel like it’s chewing minty fresh gum 🥰

I make everything by hand, my formula came from my own creativity and research (I didn’t buy from a private label like most new hair care companies are doing).

As someone who suffers from extreme shedding due to old chemical burns from the relaxers I used to get, breakage because my natural hair is super dry and super, gross dandruff that’s induced by stress - I can honestly say that my oil is pretty bomb and it can alleviate any mild scalp issues like dryness, flakes and itchiness. As for beards, this oil will give you an extra boost if your main problem is shedding.

This serum contains several different carrier and essential oils that promotes hair growth and will reduce breakage and excessive shedding. However, it’s important to take care of your hair and beard - you must wash and condition your hair or beard due to the fact that oils are not moisturizers, they just seal in moisture. Meaning, this is the last product you apply when you are doing your regimen.

You can use this product while wearing protective styles by applying the product to your scalp and edges but be sure to moisturize your hair as well.

This product is not intended to cure or to sell anyone false hopes and dreams. This is to give you an extra boost! If you can’t naturally grow a beard, this can’t help you or if you have any underlying health issues that’s affecting hair growth on your scalp, I think it’s important to speak to a doctor to help your figure out the most appropriate treatment for you.

This shouldn’t be used by pregnant women because some of the essential oils can probably induce labor but it can be used during your post partum period because that’s when extreme shedding occurs.

I’ve compared my product to the others on the market - what sets mine apart is just the quality and there’s no fillers in it (soybean oil, corn oil, mineral oil or petroleum).

It’s truly amazing. This thing have grown my edges many times after I ripped them out after detangling incorrectly 😂

Support ya girl please 💓

Google Has A Secret Page That Records All The Things You've Bought Online

Google has a page, tucked away deep in your settings, where all your receipts from shopping online are sorted and saved… [I]t includes anything else you might have bought online too (in which a receipt was sent to your Gmail): Amazon, prescriptions, movies, stuff you paid for using Square. And there are the orders placed using Google services, like Google Play Store, Google Express, or through the Google Assistant.

Here’s the link to the page (you have to be logged in):

https://myaccount.google.com/purchases…

There is currently no way to mass-delete your purchase history in Google, although you can delete the transactions one by one. There’s also no way to turn the Purchases page “off” or to prevent future purchases from getting sorted into it.

CNBC, which reported this feature today, points out that there isn’t a clear way to change this setting on the Purchases page itself, and it’s hard to find it to begin with.

At a moment when users are extremely on edge about their privacy, there’s a general distrust of how tech giants like Facebook, Google, or Amazon’s handle our personal info. After so many screwups and breeches and leaks, it can be hard to see their promises to “take your privacy seriously” as more than lip service.

Learning that Google has been sorting out and storing our shopping habits — and we didn’t even know it! — is a little freaky, and it’s reasonable to be skeptical about why it’s keeping this information.
