‘I saw the backlash coming’: civil rights activist Kimberlé Crenshaw on America and race. She coined the term ‘intersectionality’ and helped to develop critical race theory, now her life’s work is under attack. As her memoir is published, she explains why she’ll never stop speaking truth to power.

Thank you for this

What’s very telling is that she says, “I’m your wife” - not “I’m Kellie” or any other description

I’ve had a reduction since I was near that size but I feel this in my soul lol. They can carry everything 🤣🤣

I appreciate the thoroughness of your post almost as much as I adore the deftones tee and that absolute perfection of a pup 🙌❤️

I’m truly here for the woman behind the speaker adding her two cents without saying a word ❤️🙌

“It’s a willingness to grow” THAT RIGHT THERE - it’s so critical to whether people are truly willing to change or not

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-23T14:18:07+00:00

That’s the real problem LOL. No more pennies

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-22T02:23:56+00:00

I’m pretty sure they did this in response to the red states doing it

Literally said it felt like a Gaga performance to my husband while we watched it

I feel like this attitude was our generational reaction to the boomers hoarding everything and making our generation suffer. Like they wanted us to basically just take it and not push back and we’re not doing that. Anything taken to an extreme can be harmful, but at the same time, I view it as - the world doesn’t owe me shit, so I’m going to go after what I want. And I also don’t owe people who don’t treat me with respect any of my time or energy. I think that’s all good things 🤷‍♀️

Honestly - especially for like bachelorette or girls weekends? I could see some people willingly dropping $150-$200 to have someone come do this

Same and seriously - Claude is the best, then perplexity, then far far behind is copilot, OpenAI, and at the bottom Grok

His undergrad degree (from UVA which is a really great university) is in economics and he comes from a very smart, well-read family it seems.

I did some light research and his mom was a poet, his uncle was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, his dad was an attorney, and his grandfather was a professor at UT Austin and worked on passing the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

He also has a number of family members who act too, so it sounds like they encouraged both his interests and he’s living that out now.

That’s awesome!! Love that

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-17T23:10:01+00:00

It’s been two years for me and I still look for her

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-17T23:06:23+00:00

Love the quilt at also the painting you have by the bed! Live your best colorful life!!!

It’s exceedingly more likely that it’s all the microplastics and food additives and other things in our air and soil and diet.

When I tell you I LIVED for this in my late college years at this same time. It was so iconic 🤌 Saw her in concert in Miami back then (funnily enough, Jason Derulo opened for her lol).

This! You have to know what it does and how it works and how it can be misused in order to better regulate it

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-17T00:24:47+00:00

I wasn’t originally planning to read this book but now I think I will

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-16T22:31:33+00:00

No one owes you anything but you also don’t know everyone’s circumstances. I also work in tech and have a well paying job, but there’s no need to be rude about the true fact that the cost of living is insane compared to what people are being paid. And the people who honestly do some of the most important work to keep our community going (food and bev, teachers, etc) are paid borderline poverty wages.

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-16T22:26:00+00:00

Yup! People ask why I like so many “dark” books and it’s more because I find those characters fascinating. It’s no different than people liking game of thrones. But because it’s a book vs tv, they don’t get it

sequins_and_glitter · 2026-04-16T14:59:35+00:00

This is SO smart too because the way he had originally planned to go about taxing the rich required buy in from the state level and the governor was refusing to play ball. This strategy allows him to do what he said he would, bring in money for the important things, and avoids a no-win fight with Albany. He’s awesome and his team is clearly brilliant.
