I had a good day at work yesterday. We have given away around 150 trees all different types. Mad compost also. I was doing house tours and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Yesterday was my first time doing a tour for one of the descendents of the Wyckoffs, but second time on a tour with the family. That house predates america. 1652. It was built in 1652, the oldest structure in NYS. Possibly the oldest dutch structure in this country. All in the planet Brooklyn. #alwaysfunkyfresh
Body shame
Does everybody have to
Body Shame?
Why?
You’re too fat
You’re too skinny
Like for what?
Society doesn’t know nor
Have a body type….
Even if they prefer skinny
But do we have to shame people
For who they are?
Like titties are too small or too big….
It’s all bull shit….
That’s why body shamin leads people
To commit suicide….tellin they’re ugly…
Words do have the power to hurt somebody….
What’s worse?
A person who body shamin
His or her self….not just words
But abuse and neglect
A person who listens to
Other people’s opinions
Judgement after judgement
To lose weight
Gain weight
Stop body shamin….
It’s terrible
People do realize people have
Feelings they have hearts
They have self esteem
Sometimes when you bully someone
Their insecurities grow like poison ivy….
Why do people have to be a certain way
To fit in?
You know kids in school
They body shame other kids
Too….mockin them, make a whole web
Of inappropriate things without parents acknowledge
Even on TikTok.
Shouldn’t body shame anybody at all…💯✊🏿©️ Kai C. 4-21-24
What do you like to learn?
What do you like to learn?
Black history from books
Or twerk?
Which one?
Pick one?
Black history or twerk?
I think most would go for a twerk…
Cos nobody wants to read….
Nobody has a desire….
Some say none…
Maybe others say they don’t care….
This is why
Black people turn the other cheek
And prefer dancin
Cos life is so much easier….
They don’t wanna hear nor talk
About racism
Yet trauma is still repeatin itself…
Don’t wanna google
Don’t wanna have this hard discussion
About being black in America
Being black in the world
With your children….
You know they have questions…
Why twerkin?
Why not pick up a book
Instead of shakin your ass?
Don’t need to twerk on TikTok
But hey it’s on you….
Still today
On repeat
Teach me how to pop my tail
Let’s do a Megan thee stallion challenge
I don’t wanna learn about slavery
I don’t wanna talk about white supremacy….
No books
No discussion
Let’s have fun
Black people
Be dancin
Makin up their styles
Not realizin
We’re at war…..
What do you wanna learn?
I wanna learn how to drop it low
Instead of goin to the library
I wanna twirl my butt to sexy red
I don’t care about Sara Baartman…
Twerkin is the winner,
Black history lost its battle….
And all we still hear is
What’s happenin….
Not a whole lot of
Critical thinkin around
Just ignorance
It’s too sad…😢✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 4-21-24
