Making progress, Friday’s matchup will be a nail-biter — 909 vs. 128 #Grazer (the reigning champion) 🐻👑

Imagine… a tree *inside* your house 🌳

Redesigning your kitchen or dining areas? If at all possible, ask for low- or no-silica quartz countertops. Stonecutters have been developing silicosis - a painful, incurable lung disease - to cut those slabs for too long, and only a $52M lawsuit made American companies consider alternatives.

I was part of a working group on AI and Fraternity assembled by the Vatican. We met in Rome and worked on this over two days. I am happy to share the result of that intense effort: a Declaration we presented to the Pope and other government authorities coexistence.global

Why I’m still on Bluesky — y’all are alright.

Indigenous African nations had a variety of ways to address gender diversity before colonisation, which didn't usually include dehumanising trans and queer family members. May this case in Kenya set off a wave of Africans decolonising gender in their laws. 🙌🏽🖤

This helplessness and stupidity of this scene is still as enraging as the first time I saw it, even though it’s far more… relevant.

Antoni Gaudí to Eusebi Güell:

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Had a really beautiful day full of great conversations with friends about the importance of gassing each other up and looking out for each other and making room for joy and friendship.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

They are (were?) planning a cost increase — it’s been on my calendar for me to CANCEL.

I would not mind total planetary eco socialist revolution, but could settle for vaccines, equality, solar panels and BEVs everywhere.

Lacroix bois for the win

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

Absolutely loving the prevalence of the term ‘chucklefuck’ lately 😏

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Happy Fat Bear Week to all who celebrate 🐻

Happy Retirement, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 🇯🇲 ❤️

Two things were crystal clear tonight: Bad Bunny loves Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico loves Bad Bunny. The care. The inclusion. The production. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Woke up this morning thinking about one of the sustainability advocates I had the pleasure to work with, who repeatedly said “this planet will be just fine without us — it’s humanity we’re trying to save.”

Literally passing the baton to the next generation. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the LEGEND that you are! So proud of Team Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Good morning it’s their day

Bucky found a stick and spent the next 20 minutes just twirling it around and holding it like he's some kind of bear wizard with a magic staff. #katmai #FatBearWeek

I am loving this 🥰 So much pride & joy 🥹

It is very hard for me not to cut and paste passages from my book into posts at this point. I have been told by my editor not to give away the goods. That said. The difference in scale of outrage between Attiah’s firing and Kimmel’s suspension proves a whole point about canaries and coal mines.

I would really like for some of this chaos to slow down. What can I do?

Sorry I missed this - good news!

I wonder what Herman Melville would think if he knew his First Mate Captain Starbuck had been transformed into a coffee shop chain. At AC Marriott Hotel, Kingston. 🇯🇲

People who own axolotls 👀 also need to have this conversation with themselves

People keep talking about tech firms in relation to the H1-B $100k fee but it’s gonna really sink universities.

What? Warby Parker doesn’t have at-home try-ons anymore????

I first encountered these as West Indian (or Guyanese) Samsonite, then learned about “Ghana must go.” LV needs a new bag. Literally.

Good Morning ☀️

She’s beauty, she’s grace, and she just won the whole Junior Villa race. IT'S BIGGIE 🎉 We'll see you next week for the big Fat Bear Week bracket reveal.

“With 267 followers, her Instagram account usually had modest reach but the post of her child attracted nearly 7,000 views, 90% from non-followers, half of whom were aged over 44 and 90% of whom were men.” OMG

When did seeing people’s socks become a thing? Bring back the no-shows.

this exists it is called thinking

We are planning to migrate to the UK, after nearly 40 years in our beautiful home in Kingston, Jamaica. Our buyer just dropped out, leaving our plans in disarray. So I am taking a chance and posting details of our house here. It's a personal thing, I know. But let me know if you are interested!
