This is sooo scary y’all. It’s giving #Chernobyl. Via @blackwomenslivesmatter • Vinyl Chloride, a deadly chemical used to make PVC pipes and other plastics, has contaminated the Ohio River due to train derailment. 50 cars on the Norfolk Southern train, including 10 cars carrying thousands upon thousands of gallons of the deadly chemical, derailed in a fiery crash on Friday, February 3rd. Livestock and fish as far away as 100 miles away are dying, seemingly from the fallout of the chemical exposure. The deadly chemical was slowly released into the air Monday from five of those cars before crews ignited it in a controlled environment in an attempt to get rid of the highly flammable, toxic chemicals which ended up creating a dark plume of smoke. Vinyl Chloride only gets more dangerous while it’s on fire. Via @CBSNews: “Officials warned the controlled burn would send phosgene and hydrogen chloride into the air. Phosgene is a highly toxic, colorless gas with a strong odor that can cause vomiting and breathing trouble and was used as a weapon in World War I. Phosgene is considered safe at 0.1 parts per million during an eight-hour exposure, or 0.2 ppm for a 15-minute exposure. The eight-hour exposure threshold would have to be even lower when measuring inside people's homes, where residents often spend more than eight consecutive hours. Hydrogen chloride is a colorless to yellowish gas with a strong odor and its primary effect on humans is skin, eye, nose and throat irritation. It is considered safe at 5 ppm for an eight-hour exposure.” According to rail operator Norfolk Southern and the National Transportation Safety Board, there were no casualties or injuries sustained in the incident. However, exposure to vinyl chloride is associated with increased risk of liver cancer and other cancers, according to the federal government's National Cancer Institute. Residents of the area are outraged and scared of the potential risks involved with them having such close exposure to vinyl chloride. Many were ordered to evacuate last Monday and have not yet been able to return to their homes. It unclear when they’ll safely be able to do so. #BWLM💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/ContzjQL8vv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I hated that my hair refused to release the moisture and kept me tethered to the dryer for longer than sixty minutes. I've gone back to a salon only once and was reminded why I quit in the first place. #blackhairproblems #beautysalon https://www.instagram.com/p/CSZMuOzFYxyJeQWR7D-HBBldftlGGe6h3ga4kw0/?utm_medium=tumblr

This shit is soooo crazy to me. Wtf do they mean by that last part? “Lawful, historically accurate content”?! SERIOUSLY?! This is soooo scary. Via @blackwomenslivesmatter: ✍🏾: @theclosetratchet Florida governor #RonDeSantis has officially banned the inclusion of the Advanced Placement African American Studies course in the state. In a letter obtained by @ABC, DeSantis’ administration penned a letter to the Florida College Board notifying them that they are rejecting plans for the AP African American Studies course claiming that it “significantly lacks educational value.” “Please allow this letter to serve as confination that the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) does not approve the inclusion of the Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course in the Florida Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments (adopted in State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09441, Florida Administrative Code),” the letter reads. “As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value. In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, FDOE will always be willing to reopen the discussion.” Excuse our French, but WTF do they mean by “lawful, historically accurate content”?! Make sure that we lose no recipes, queens and kings. Teach your children our history! Take them to every single museum that you can get to, because they’re really trying to erase our history which IS American history! #BWLM💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnnd8p6Jxmb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sister You are allowed high standards for yourself and those with access to you. You are not a tool. You are not an endentured servant. You are allowed to have dreams. You are allowed to say NO. You are allowed to want more. You deserve great love. You deserve whatever you want. You deserve extended effort. Your life is your own. Live for yourself.

I literally thought the opposite would happen and that we would be doomed. I’m so happy Meg is getting Justice!! Now they need a separate trial for Miss Kelsey’s lying ass! Via @blackwomenslivesmatter: ✍🏾: @lexisryann A Los Angeles jury on Friday found rapper #ToryLanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star #MeganTheeStallion that left her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet. The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for one day before convicting the 30-year-old Canadian rapper, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. The counts could lead to up to 22 years in prison. Lanez has been taken into custody and will be sentenced on Jan. 27. #BWLM💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmh5cLOJXeq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I absolutely LOVE this. Repost from @blackwomenslivesmatter • By now, you’re all aware of viral sensation, #TanishaGodfrey aka “It’s a chicken salad” right? Well, our good sis recently struck up a deal with Weight Watchers after Google offered her a measly $500 to buy her viral sound. “I’m still learning how to work TikTok,” Godfrey told TikToker @Bdtrelilbrother in a virtual interview. “Y’all know I was new to this but I’m not dumb. So when you say you want to buy my sound and you’re offering me $500, it’s a f-cking problem.” Godfrey was hesitant to name the company who lowballed her, but it turned out to be Google! “It was Google,” she said. ”And they offered me $500. Then, $1,000. Then, $2,000. And I said, ‘Have a good day.’” Godfrey ended up hiring someone who has been able to steer her career in the right direction which led to her new partnership with Weight Watchers! The company announced that it had teamed up with Godfrey and now, “The Nisha Chicken Salad” is featured in its list of over 12,000 recipes. “Y’all better come up and get (or make) this #chickensalad,” Weight Watchers wrote. “TikTok star Nisha Godfrey came to visit us at the WeightWatchers test kitchen and made us her dream chicken salad. The key ingredients? Raw mushrooms and banana peppers. Loaded with other ZeroPoint faves like pickles, grilled chicken, and tomatoes, this salad only needs a sprinkle of Parm and a bit of vinaigrette, plus a dash of lemon pepper for superior flavor.” Speaking on the new partnership, Godfrey said that the bag that she was offered made the deal “gorgeous.” I know that’s right, Tanisha! And Google tried it!! We can’t wait to see what’s to come. What if she got a Super Bowl commercial?! 🔥🔥🔥 #BWLM💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClmF2UoplPw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
