Val Kilmer did what needed to be done.

Getting back into the IG swing: @jaedawnchong.

Hoeing prolly (speaking for self)

After some years, I returned to AFROPUNK with a piece about Kelela and ethio-jazz. #musicsky afropunk.com/2025/02/in-t...

Baby’s first Grammy Awards. ✨ #musicsky

The inconvenience is small but damn I’m gonna miss my Tazo teas from Target. Willing to expand my drink palette at other stores.

Wrote a Genius dedication to three-time #Grammy nominee Doechii and explored how being a nonconformist on ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’ made her a star. #musicsky genius.com/a/how-doechi...

Okay, some expenses have actually hit me during my evacuations that are impacting my transition to stability. Give if you can. Share if you're willing. Worded VERY specifically for reasons. gofund.me/8b577d7c

Y’all seeing ‘One of Them Days’ this weekend? Peep producer Issa Rae’s thoughts on SZA’s music during our chat for Complex. #filmsky #blacksky

I already know that my things aren't really *mine,* but the threat of losing it all to this wildfire.. It tests impermanence on a spiritual level.

LA wildfire still surging. This is about to be the longest day ever.

The way she validated the thoughts of children on that album is everything.

Okay so I’m not alone

Unexpectedly got teary eyed at this one.

I remember the ‘For Colored Girls’ author being pissed that he got his hands on that book. May she rest.

#NickelBoys was the first film to make me sob in years, so after two screenings, I had to interview the director, RaMell Ross. For BET, we got down to the grit of ‘Nickel Boys’ and talked surrealism, trauma and finding survival through brotherhood. #filmsky #movies www.bet.com/article/pnsc...

Hmmm.. first time I’m seeing my writing in a press email. Trying to get some words on billboards next.

Next publicist who calls me is taking me on a date because never have they gotten this comfortable on my phone

Being exposed to conspiracy theories all day has really fried a lot of peoples brains; caused paranoia and destroyed their abilities to discern truth from lies.

Someone told me my questions “are not normal” while interviewing them today. Where’s my Pulitzer

I’ll always read Tiny Buddha stories to destress and decenter myself from whatever I’m feeling in the moment. It’s a gift to transmute pain into wisdom. #reading tinybuddha.com

This is interesting. I think people in positions of power are meant to keep subordinates on their toes to some degree. Or at least show them that they’re not to be fcked with. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I know it isn’t being debated that Kendrick Lamar can’t carry stadium shows. Not after that last tour.

@heylaurenash.bsky.social Random, but are you still in social work? I was watching this new movie called ‘Nutcrackers’ and thought of you.

Eminem preparing for his first grandchild and losing his complicated mom has to be a mindfck.

Remote working is a privilege that I’ll never take for granted. Even when I feel tired or overwhelmed, at least I’m at home.

For BET, I wrote about our favorite former child stars entering motherhood and why we need to ease up on the judgment. *ahem* #blacksky www.bet.com/article/6asz...

Just because a film is popular doesn't mean it's good

Ridiculous that this is happening at all but no way that CHIPS are being locked up.

I’m tickled whenever I see my video of meeting Rihanna still make its rounds. That was already a surreal moment, but being able to relive it is sweet.

OSU’s karma for publicly congratulating JD Vance.

We all have the itis, yes.

Artists tolerated criticism from white pubs/expected hagiography elsewhere.

People who hate P4K reviews misunderstand how much timing has to do with those scores.

Any #blacksky #vegans here? I’m interested in what everyone’s cooking this week.

For BET, I interviewed R&B singer-songwriter Raiche about her new EP ‘Making Room,’ healing from toxic relationships and how she’s started over with her partner Teddy Swims. www.bet.com/article/z1qb...

Being in the gym and knowing exactly who’s been to prison just by their workout style is so funny.

Makeup is about to be my Black Friday downfall, I fear.

That shit is wack

The way De La Soul attacked Marcus about his biography on them disheartens me but also makes me relieved that I expanded my journalism into more than music.

Period dramas have been reinvented with this one.

That trend of posting movie scenes before letting people have a chance to watch it is aggressive. How did we get here?

No other new album is letting me off of ‘Saaheem’ for the time being. Facts.

He’s been so relentless about making bail that it might actually happen smh.

My brain is still adjusting to having two weekly writing gigs but when the deposit hits it’s ✨magic✨

I feel this way..... most of the time ngl

Doing my second-ever moderation tonight if anyone in Los Angeles wants to hear some new Annahstasia tunes. #music

I sometimes wonder how many people dislike me because “I” don’t respond to or follow them on IG. Meanwhile I haven’t had an acct in four years.

See this is why Beyoncé didn’t play their game.

Catching another ‘Nickel Boys’ screening for the first time since September. Bringing my bf along so I can sob in his chest like the last time I saw it wah
