It's so nice outside today. I don't wanna work.

LMAO THERE COULD BE NO CLEARER INDICATOR THAT BLUESKY IS FOR OLD PEOPLE Remember to take your blood pressure meds today, peepaws and meemaws

I've fallen for 4 online April Fools jokes so far today

I don’t think I realized I had any latent Challenger trauma until right about now My kid’s like “neat!” and I’m like 🫣

Ryan Coogler becomes the second Black filmmaker to ever win Best Original Screenplay at the #Oscars  He joins Jordan Peele, who was the first.

Helplessly watching while the country fumbled a Gore presidency for Bush is the moment that radicalized me.

A film honors America’s first self-governed town founded by formerly enslaved people

I assumed I'd be issued my own neighborhood bar.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

Jesse Jackson is gonna get slandered a lot today by "the others." Please dont help them. The problem with getting old is that you dont get to die young in all your glory and best days. People get to see your full humanity and imperfections. Like normal

No way you're telling me they think the firesty, fire sign, can't fight. Lmao. Sure, keep thinking that.

Oh no. 😔 First Prue, now Dawson. We're too young for this.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 3: Seeing racism everywhere! Why do Black people see racism everywhere?

I'm cool jumping out of perfectly good airplanes but scared to climb ladders around the house. Makes perfect sense.

Here's what I expect from Democrats. Their goal is to win big in the midterms. Do some tepid sanctioning of the Trump regime. Then hopefully win the presidency in 28. They want to reinforce that the status quo still works. They don't want to acknowledge the institutions are broken.

I'm getting pissed off over the expectations projected onto Obama over the folks currently in elected positions. Give them this energy. Or ask yourself why you aren't insisting Bush or Biden "do something".

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

And our boycott continues... Love how they keep giving me reasons to never change my position on never, ever shopping there again.

Because it shouldn't have taken this long to realize you were supporting an adjudicated rapist, 34-count felon who is also a fascist, authoritarian who would prefer you not exist than disagree w/ him politically. You don't get credit for finally coming around to what should've been common sense.

These TikTok commercials aint it...

I talk to MAGA voters a lot. They are open and honest about supporting mass deportation. They think it's a good thing, and they support the mission of ICE. The language they use to justify it and to excuse the horrors, is *exactly* the same language that centrist Dems use to justify US policing.

BREAKING: Now that TikTok is under US-based ownership, the social media app potentially collects more detailed information about its users, including precise location data. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

Cool, so he's implementing UBI then? 🙄

Whenever you're accused of being "Un-American," remember: Jefferson Davis said abolitionists "lacked patriotism & moral principle" The KKK said "America First" meant "love of country" J. Edgar Hoover said MLK was "motivated by hate for America"

Yes, Sinners!!! That's what I'm talking about! We need more Black art in the mainstream.

Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler by Susana M. Morris I always start the year returning to Octavia's work. This year I had this biography to digest for a new perspective. 💙📚 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Further proof that it's counter productive to let anyone suffer unnecessarily... eventually it's gonna turn around on you.

Let's see more of this, please

The black and white pictures are meant to deceive you. It was not long ago. #MLKinColor

Not me appreciating a polar vortex for the first time in my life. I shall never complain about it again.

The idea that health equals virtue is extremely dangerous. Who doesn’t like natural foods and clean water? But the idea that if you’re fat or sick or disabled, it’s your fault is dehumanizing and wrong. We’re all only ever one serious illness or accident away from disability. And life is random.

if you want stable and reliable software, give developers stable and reliable employment

The cheese graters are taking me out! 🤣Good night folks. Great game.

It's going to be really hard to not be insufferable on Monday
