i just did a deep dive on model pat running bear evans. she's mainly recognized as the model on the ohio players' album covers & as a fashion model. she was also a make-up artist (for folks like aretha franklin) & a wardrobe stylist. hayes was a client.

Attention everyone, if you live in Atlanta, GA, my PhD advisor Dr. LaShawn Harris will be having a book talk on her new book Tell Her Story: Eleanor Bumpurs & the Police Killing that Galvanized New York City on Thursday September 25th at 6:30pm. Please come out if you can to support her work.

Much of the violent, racist rhetoric from the man arrested for allegedly threatening the life of Zohran Mamdani is almost indistinguishable from what top GOP politicians were saying in the days after Mamdani won the primary. (Also similar to what Girdusky said to me on CNN!)

‘Men don’t know why they became unhappy’: the toxic gender war dividing South Korea

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Folks out here doing and dancing with evil must think the wheels of time and fortune are static or rusted shut, so let me remind them—and the rest of us—of one of my favorite proverbs: He who shits in the road catches the flies on the way back. Get ready, the plague is coming!

Today I just got my very first briefcase I bought on September 5th on eBay back from restoration. It’s a vintage mahogany gladstone briefcase made by Coach in February 1998. It also goes by the name Briefbag & the original value of this bag was $594.

On the Jimmy Kimmel situation, all I have to say is listen to Black women the first time. *stares in Robin Thede and Amber Ruffin* #blacksky

Finally got the rest of my books for my classes.

Fascism is a man’s wet dream it is also humanity’s worst nightmare. Men do not aspire to be leaders, they aspire to be dictators. Fascism, capitalism, & patriarchy are the trifecta of death that will lead to the end of human civilization.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are reviving ‘THE MUPPET SHOW’ as a Disney+ special next year Will also star and be produced by Sabrina Carpenter The goal for the special is to greenlight a new season of the iconic series. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...)

Yesterday, I said out loud, "A Black man was lynched today." I'm still processing that. Please elevate Trey Reed's name.

First CBS cancels Stephen Colbert Now ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel If there’s anything that needs to be said is that fascists and conservatives hate comedians, but most of all they hate the truth being told.

lol if you're inviting bigots to your campus willingly, I'm assuming you're a bigot because in 2025, this makes no sense.

Black Women you are Appreciated!! Black Men you are Appreciated !!! THAT IS ALL

This is very disturbing as hell man.

It took porn for y’all to love dark skin women??????????

RIP to Robert Redford. My introduction to him was The Great Gatsby (1974) and his pink suit will always be captivating to me along with his fashion style.

Fascism and Jim Crow never died, it simply evolved. His name was Demartravion "Trey" Reed and he was lynched at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. This picture will remain relevant.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

“But, beyond that, there is also a need to make it part of our national reckoning with the history and traditions of racism in the United States. It is long overdue to end the Court’s undemocratic role in U.S. society.” - Dr. Keeanga Yamahtta Taylor

VICTORY FOR MSU BABY!!! GO GREEN!!!

I’m so impressed by the survivors and I’m behind their efforts to get validation, conviction for those involved ! Enough is enough! #jeffreyEpstein

Welp this is the number of books I had to check out for two of my classes this semester and I still have seven more books to purchase for the classes. This second year is no joke, but I look forward to reading them.

Go Green

Today is the first week of classes as a 2nd year PhD student. This one is going to be intense but I know will get through it.

I want to be wanted.

“A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for the Negro.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Because it’s Black August, I want to let everyone know my PhD advisor Dr. LaShawn Harris’ new book Tell Her Story: Eleanor Bumpurs & the Police Killing That Galvanized New York City comes out on August 26th. To every Black woman, & Black New Yorkers, get this book.

Since 2019, I have spent time revamping my wardrobe that was outdated. Now, it looks so much better. From acquiring vintage OG-107 trousers to a pair of 3sixteen jeans & a Barbour Beaufort jacket secondhand, I’m very excited about my wardrobe & how far I have come with my style game.

This morning, as I think about the 4th of July, there’s nothing to celebrate today after yesterday’s horrific bill passing that will hurt millions of people who rely on Medicaid, & SNAP and much more. This isn’t the land of the free, this is a land of confusion.

I’m about to get my wisdom teeth pulled today. Wish me luck and I’m so nervous.

Sorry for the delay, this is 29, my last year being in my 20s. Today’s outfit is in honor of Black Music Month. It’s a replica polo made by the Scott Fraser Collection in tribute to Muhammad Ali wore in 1964 while cutting a track with Sam Cooke called “The gang’s all here”.

Before tonight ends, today would have been the late Dr. June Dobbs Butts’ 97th birthday. She was a pioneer and trailblazing sex therapist who was ahead of her time on Black Sexuality. My dissertation will continuing the work I started at Georgia State by expanding on her legacy.

I couldn’t sleep last night because I started thinking about what if I don’t have children due to finances especially after I get my PhD in four years. The thought of it especially what’s going on in the world is making me sit down with this thought and be realistic with myself.

Fascists want peace at the expense of marginalized people. They want peace at the expense of continuing to be violent towards the world, women, the LGBTQ, Palestinians, and Indigenous people. The goal is to liberate all oppressed people from fascism that bring about freedom.

To kidnap and remove immigrants from the U.S. is to keep America white because their population is in decline and will become a minority in 2045. White population decline is inevitable. All of this is an act of fascism and white supremacy.

With my birthday next Wednesday, I decided to buy two new fragrances which are Electimuss Trajan & Xerjoff Alexandria II after following a Black Fragrance reviewer & seeing her recommendations. The next picture is my current fragrance collection. Excited to step up my fragrance game.

After seeing Sinners, we need to start doing Halloween Sinners theme Juke Joint parties, because it would be so lit 🔥.

Librarians are heroes. Library of Congress staff refuse to give access to or *recognize* Trump appointees as they show up, insisting that Congress must have input. They call the capitol police, recognize the *LC* deputy director, and call on Congress to act. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

As a treat for completing my first year of PhD, I bought two new shoes I always wanted. On my left are the Colchester Rubber Co shoe & they’re known as the world’s first basketball sneaker. On my right are the Chuck Taylor High Top Chuck 70. I wanted these since I was a child.

Bought the Superfine book from the Met Museum and man it’s huge but it’s beautiful. Sidenote: my bookshelf is now full to the brim, and this is what it’s like being a History PhD student.

I think the Twitter to Bluesky transition mirrors society at large rn. People would rather hold on to what they know even if it’s falling apart rather than building something new altogether
