Y'all

They had to skip lunch (Pg.50) “It’s gonna take us all lunch hour.” this meant their plan is going to take a while. It was raining so they dug a hole for the bus to fall in on each side of the road. The white kids now had to walk. (Pg.55) “Girl, all y’all gonna be walkin’...” People do bad things so they need to pay for what they did. Cassie is a very courageous person in the book. Not everyone stands up for themselves. Not everyone risks getting hung. Cassie did those things, that's why i…

Women aren’t the only people who need access to abortions. Say it with me. Women aren’t the only people who need access to abortions. Y’all. Trans and nonbinary people need access to abortions. Women aren’t the only people who need access to oral contraception or IUDs. Women aren’t the only people who need access to pap smears. Women aren’t the only people who need access to mammograms. Women aren’t the only people who need access to "Women's Health care." Yet the narrative around reproductive…

A majority of the tactics demonstrated in the second video tie in with the concepts suggested in the book “For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood… and the Rest of Y’all Too” by Christopher Emdin. He discusses how using elements from aspects of neoindigenous (African American) culture, such as the call-and-response utilized by both church ministers and rap MCs, in the classroom will increase engagement among students. The class shown in the second video appears to be actively engaged while also…

Ok little organizees (see what I did there?), this article on the contents of the Daddy Diaper Bag is going to be short and sweet. As I share in Daddy to the Rescue, you sometimes have to make things simple to set them up for success. Instead of making hubby carry around a girly diaper bag I got him his own! So, I was fortunate enough to get him the Boxum 3 in 1 Portable Bassinet Diaper Change Station, which is a dream. For one it comes in this very manly color (Ok, it's beige). There may be a…

Dear Mother and Father, Last time I talked to y'all, I was in a trench on the battlefield, and now I am in a hospital in France. It all started out when I was in the Firing Trench, which is the first trench on the battlefield and is right behind No Man’s Land. It is 45 yards in front of the Cover Trench, and it is where we fire at the Germans. The trench has a dugout, duckboards, and firesteps. In the dugout, all the soldiers ate, slept, and rested before battle. Since there were so many people,…

can’t show their southern heritage and pride, it takes away a part of that person. Zach Comer, another Virginia high school student, showed his southern heritage by wearing a shirt with a Confederate flag inscribed with the slogan, “It’s a lifestyle, y’all wouldn’t understand.” These people have grown up on this lifestyle which has nothing to do with racism. They should be able to express their beliefs. In addition, Confederate flag apparel shows southern pride for many people, but only offends…

Have you ever been in a situation where you are looking at someone struggle while they work on something and you're just there like why is he/she doing it like that instead of doing it this other way? Well I have and probably with one of the most stubborn person i know. That would be my dad, he hates it when someone does something he can't. But at least i got something out of working with him, and it was that not everyone has the same way of doing things there can be more than a single way to…
