Vanessa Williams as Calypso >>>

The Trojan horse on full display at AMC Citywalk. I saw #TheOdyssey Friday night and absolutely loved it. Amazing film + great cast + one of my fav stories

there's something fishy (to me) about the push to use passkeys across all websites/apps that require a log-in. Maybe I've been scarred by headlines and news, but it feels a bit nefarious.

- happy Jackie Washington day!

Saying that “everything can be funded with ads” doesn’t take into consideration how uncomfortable we have all become when exposed to ads. I just sat down to watch a film I ACTIVELY want to watch on Prime, and switched it off immediately because of 3 minutes of ads. Going to buy it on DVD.

It’s funny because way too many people are still convinced the only politics that can be co-opted is identity politics for marginalized people.

Happy belated birthday @therobmilton.com 🎂

- and get that laundry done before Wednesday, y’all! you know what happens on #JackieWashingtonDay!

The states allege that the deal would harm movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and audiences.

My favorite thing about my life is that I can just one day say “yeah, this is over,” and completely shift directions. I’ve been pining over a certain aspect of my life for about 4 years now, and I’m at a point where the saxophones are so loud that I’m probably gonna have eardrum damage.

so many big changes coming q3 and q4 for me. whew.

The more I listen to #MORNINGDEW, the more it gives me 2004 Destiny's Child vibes...like, it is the cousin of "Game Over," imo

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

Check out my full interview with Laverne Cox here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9fx... We discussed her memoir, #Transcendent, racism, that one 'controversial' ex of hers, and what Hollywood was like when she hit her stride in her 40s!

Your clarity must come from within, if it cannot come from above.

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.

I really enjoyed this year's #BETAwards. The Lauryn tribe was superb. I was not prepared to see my friend Ty in the "in memoriam" segment, though. That was intense.

It irks me that the basic plan for HBO Max has advertisements/commercials. HBO (the actual channel) NEVER had ads. HBOGo never did me wrong, either.

Ever.

This is the first year in a decade that I'm not working the BET Awards. Crazy to think about, but it was time for me to transition out. I knew I was stepping away at the top of 2025. What's wild is that so many of my peers aren't working it this year either (for various reasons)...feels strange

The myth underlying this is that trans people (trans women specifically) were ever "invisible." We were objects of fascination, scorn, mockery, and fetishizing long before 2014 (for about the entire history of mass media really). What really broke a lot of brains was the idea we deserved dignity

(I am so powerful. Wow.)

Watching the Grand Opening Ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center. I cannot wait to get back home to visit!😩

How do y'all maintain your health (mental, physical, spiritual, etc) when life seems to ramp up with consistent, sustained, pervasive external stress?

Because this morning’s episode of #TheView was such a hot topic in and of itself, I had no choice but to dust off the merch.

I'm chatting with Ms. Pat and Jordan E. Cooper today in about 30 mins over on GLAAD's instagram. Hope to see you there!

This isn't just about Laverne, this is a story of trans people being purged from all facets of employment. The functional unemployment rate for trans people is roughly 30% or higher. Trump has made it convenient for companies to not hire trans people at all. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I have a super wild theory that because I have an active, supportive, present family and solid friend circle--it's been scaring men off who claim they want to date me. It's become a bit of a litmus test... because, why are you seemingly banking on me being alone and without community???

I just realized today is my LAversary. Twelve years🌴🥂

okay, so. yeah. this is batshit.

I had to unfollow Trevor Jackson.

The way i haven’t been able to sleep this past week or so is giving me major 2020 flashbacks. YUCK.

"Baby Girl" was definitely on my lockdown soundtrack. This album is so damn good, but feels like another lifetime ago.

Just finished Laverne Cox’s memoir, “Transcendent.” I commend her for her vulnerability and transparency. Her childhood upbringing was wild. I enjoyed her stories about her early adulthood, and I could definitely relate to some of her dating +relationship fiascos. I give it a 7.5/10!
