Today I submitted my letter of interest for the interim board member position in the Hickman Mills School district. I can't keep talking about her and ineffectual leadership. I have to put some skin in the game and do my part. This is step one. #BlackEduSky

Got to step out with my lovely girlfriend @kieyul.bsky.social to see The Color Purple. I'd not seen the stage version of the musical. @kcreptheatre.bsky.social did an amazing job.

The problem in America ... Its belief that bigotry is a value

Just migrated to #blacksky Now to get to my other projects.

That's not top 3. 3 of the top 10 though, for certain. Book clubs (I know what you're reading, some of you are reading my old pieces...STILL), Slice of life anime fans #IYKYK, Goth/Emo/Scene/Alt folks in professional job associations.

Listen, when this came on for the first time, I saw a guy with cowboy hat, guitar, a metal suit, and flying a spaceship. I thought I wished it into being. I pleaded for these toys.

I feel like SEVERAL people said this was coming if what had happened, did happen. We are now in the, "we did see this coming but we were scared to say something," space. Just gonna try a couple of my go-to folks who gave this premonition. @moreandagain.social @redganjaguru.bsky.social #PoliticalSky

MESSAGE!

I really want to know where this misinformation about vaccines is coming from in the Black community. If your granny or great granny is alive ask them about the polio vaccine or how kids were dying from chicken pox and rubella.

“Aye Dot, can I get a drop? I’m like niqqa naw” 😂

I was at a town hall meeting last night for the school district I grew up in here in #KansasCityMissouri. I saw so much that I need to write a piece. I was taking a #SubStack break until next month ended, but I'm coming back early. I also need to get ready for December 9th. My turn...

You have to organize. I don't know what else to tell people. And organizing is not sexy and it is difficult and it matters that you be persistent. We need long-distance runners right now.

Q: “Are you worried all this pushback could provoke Trump to follow-through with sending the National Guard?” MAYOR @brandon4chicago.bsky.social Johnson: “As a descendant of slaves, can you imagine if my ancestors had that same rationale?“

My cousin was the first to teach me how to make your profile into a table so you had a border and changeable pictures. Once she got me right, I took off. I had tons of HTML self lessons just so it would look great on BlackPlanet. When myspace came? Folks had an experience on my page. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'll do one nice correction on accommodations with friends and family. If it gets ignored, I start backup booking a different location.

The lawyer quip is "indict a ham sandwich" not the guy who threw a ham sandwich. They got the wrong potential defendant. Mistakes happen, they gotta get that sandwich before it's too late.

Every person you come across is not going to be forthcoming or extroverted in their communication style and if you enjoy that person enough, it would really benefit your connection to learn how that person communicates

Of course, once you've 'asked nicely' for people to stop using VPNs a logical next step is implementing the Great British Firewall to start blocking them. Probably starting with demands against largest ISPs. Space to watch.

(13) Same question as above bsky.app/profile/eric...

You shouldn't encourage corporate to step on it. We have too many lightweights and light drinks as it is. Let the cutwaters be cutwaters. People need to learn the consequences for overestimating their abilities.

I feel like the right song to start with is Audio Two's "Top Billing" A lyric folks get wrong, a track now so we'll known it is forgotten about. And from a time when DJ culture was also as big as MC culture. youtu.be/krTLRQOOFAw?...

No. We are not doing this anymore. It is 2025. Usha Vance stays with her husband because she agrees with him. There is no evidence that she loathes him at all. Yale-educated women can be fascist too.

Sleepers. 4th grade.

A complicated man who once believed he was only worthy of being the broken toy of others. And now sees his own light when before all I saw was my own darkness.

Sometimes as co writers, sometimes as castmates, other times as audience members in the book of life section that includes my pages.

I don't know. I only understand what it means to be me.

That the people who often need help are passed over due to others great that helping them will expose their own failings. They would rather the strong friend die on their white horse, than witness they fell down and need help.

Caring for myself was as important as what I do for others. BONUS: Everybody can't come with you to the place you are evolving to.

My ability to detach from the emotional and psychological effects of others actions towards me and the positions they leave me in. As someone who's battled depression, I know exactly how little care from others I need to survive. That is a very dangerous thing to know when you try to be with others.

Constantly taking care of others while disregarding yourself and your own needs.

Putting the focus on the things needing accomplished and not on my elevation from them.

Physical power, mental control, and emotional balance. All through both difficult and peaceful times.

Prior to his passing TotalBiscuit aka The Cynical Brit. Since then, if he counts, Bomani Jones. One of the people I'd really like to sit down and talk sports, music, and politics with.

The thought of what I know is truly possible.

Suzie-Qs.

Incremental steps that don't require repeats.

Inability to enjoy the silence of a beautiful sunset.

It was either Muppets take Manhattan or Sleeping Beauty.

Being confronted with your limitations alone.

Heading a story today about how I was as a kid from an elder who's known me my whole life.

Seeing that I was helpful to someone who needed it. Seeing progress on the goals I've set for myself. Completing a task.

Feeling wanted.

Physical media conversion supplies so folks can take their digital stuff into analog physical versions. All with high quality though.

29 but it may be 30, I can't remember if I flew through Seattle or not.

I pray the biggest blessing sliding into your life this week! 🙏🏾

Mamdani leads among Jewish voters in New York, despite the media trying to whip up hysteria about the safety of Jews in NY if he won. One of the most despicable campaigns from the media in recent memory. Nice to know it works on precisely nobody.
