Repeat after me: Saving black men is NOT a black woman's responsibility.
Waiting yall to stop this nonsense that its black women job to fix black men https://t.co/nAqVnEjObH

@Brasileirizada, tweeting about a scene in Childish Gambino’s music video for “Feels Like Summer” showing former first lady Michelle Obama hugging Kanye West. Many saw it as promoting the idea that black women are responsible for black men. Others saw it as saying West needs a mother figure, since his mother died in 2007.
This messaging is both confusing and infuriating. Black women have our own issues yet we're supposed to fix everyone else's. Who is there to save us? https://t.co/qubwvQmPzg

@donaldglover Just so you know, it is not the job of Black women to heal or fix Black men. Black women do not exist to be other people's mules. #childishgambino #FeelsLikeSummer

Fans are mourning the death of Claire Wineland, a YouTuber for whom her cystic fibrosis was secondary to her love of life.

@savannahbrown, reacting to the news that YouTuber Claire Wineland, who chronicled life with cystic fibrosis, died at age 21. Wineland underwent a double lung transplant on Aug. 26, but suffered a stroke soon after. The speaker and author was taken off life support Sunday.
i heard about claire wineland’s passing this morning and my head turned to mush. it was odd. i’ve been casually watching her for probably nine/ten months and in that time i’ve learned that she was incredible. she was strong and just wanted to improve the lives of those also

Had to sit and have a moment of gratitude for everything I have this morning after hearing about Claire Wineland passing. Been following her journey for a while now and I really thought she'd live forever. An inspirational and beautiful ray of sunshine. RIP xxxx

We all apparently missed the memo that CGI models are in right now, since there's such a lack of actual models to choose from ...
@Balmain hire real models! There are enough real models in this world for you to even think about this! 😠 pic.twitter.com/1FAV4xeMXk

@chungli__, discussing fashion brand Balmain’s decision to use a “virtual army” of digital models to front its latest campaign. Balmain has been met with considerable backlash for its decision to use CGI models, since human models often accept low pay to work in fashion.
In more missed memos, pole dancing is apparently appropriate for kindergartners to watch now.
So before our kids got out of kindergarten for the summer, there was 10 days of military "activities" and displays of machine guns and mortars at the door; now the principal has welcomed them back with a strip pole dance on the flagpole bearing the PRC flag. She's gone nuts. pic.twitter.com/BJr4UI6Oq3

@mstandaert, tweeting about how the principal of his children’s school in Shenzhen, China, invited a pole dancer to perform on the first day of school. A series of videos shows hundreds of kids ages 3 to 6 at Xinshahui kindergarten watching the questionable performance. The principal was later fired.
