Selena's birthday is 4/16. She would've been 55 this year.

I met Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, at the #GRAMMY Museum. A group of us toured the #Selena exhibit and screened “Selena y Los Dinos” (Netflix) so cool!

Dr. Cerina Fairfax is remembered as a mentor and community leader as officials call attention to the broader impact of domestic gun violence toward Black women

Bluesky needs a fail whale

Mr. Tendernism is a very quotable guy

Trailer begins: "Spoiler warning" Trailer continues: *proceeds to show a montage of re-enactments depicting one of the most well-documented, heavily dissected, and visually iconographic humans of the 20th century* www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIq0...

The saxophones are getting louder and louder. I need change. An overhaul. A reset. Ease.

Me with Raya:

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

Live Nation illegally monopolized the market for tickets, protecting its position through pressure and leverage, jury finds

In light of Dave Chappelle's recent remarks regarding the harm his "jokes" have perpetuated, I'm amplifying this op/ed I wrote in 2021. (insert eyeroll) www.them.us/story/profes...

I started listening to Raye's album 2 weeks ago, but I didn't finish. I decided to pick up where I left off today, and the song that started playing is "Life Boat."...wow wow wow...what a timely message from the universe. I had a rough weekend, and I have no choice but to look at this as a sign.

#Euphoria Season 3 Makeup Is All About ‘Capital G Glam’—and We Have All the Details www.allure.com/story/euphor... #euphoriaHBO

I have like 6 books on my bed that are collecting dust because I can't seem to lock down my attention span long enough to read. This is NEW for me, but I'm NOT going to embrace it. I pride myself on loving to read. I love physical books. I'm just in a different season right now. Feels icky.

if you can't tell, I'm trying to do less scrolling and get into more scripted tv again. I've somehow neglected it all over the last few months. I don't think it's healthy to be glued to the TV, but it's also not healthy to sit and scroll endlessly, hopping from app to app. See what anxiety does?

I'm late as hell, but should I try to get into Heated Rivalry? It's been talked about so much this year at events and festivals I've been to... weirdly, hearing sooooo much about it made any interest I might've had plummet.

I'm catching up on #HacksHBO, and not for nothing--I admire Deborah's tenacity, no matter how wacky she is. You need that type of spirit to sustain in this town long-term. My flicker is on life support, 13 years in. lol.

Euphoria will be wrapped up by 6/1

okay, so I didn't fully hate the #euphoriahbo season 3 premiere. I'm interested to see where everything goes. I've read a few reviews on the first 3 episodes that went out to certain critics, and they've been mixed (leaning negative)--but I'm going to see for myself. It's just 8 episodes.

I'm such a fan of Melina's work. This should be interesting. Watching this, while simultaneously living it.

Media update

Yet another sleepless night 🥱

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I'm going to give LinkedIn another try by dropping some updates this week. I haven't been consistently active on that site in YEARS, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Connections, don't forget about me!

Although my overall interest in the Housewives franchises has waned, tonight's #RHOA premiere was a lot better than last season. I know they're just getting started, but I have faith because K.Michelle simply doesn't do boring reality TV. 😅*fingers crossed*

COVER REVEAL!!! My new book AND IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE is now available for preorder. It picks up where All Boys Aren’t Blue left off. bit.ly/411iTr9 preorder today 🙏🏽💗💕💗

random. I just downloaded an app...why are the only options "Allow Tracking" or "Ask App Not To Track" instead of just simply "Do Not Track" ...why do I have to ASK the app not to track? (I'm tired; today was a travel day.)

...and this month's dates dircetly mirror March 2020! Idk if that means anything, but it's something I noticed this week.

New film poster for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2.’ Out May 1st.

I don’t know if it’s age or stress, but i used to have better willpower with food while dieting. Let me tell you, i have been violating my own boundaries for weeks now! 2 steps ahead to go 6 steps back. 🤧 The “small bites and open bar” have been wearing me out at these events!!!!

I hate liking men, but I also love liking men. help.

The US economy is just a half dozen billionaires Venmoing one another while the rest of us starve.

Oliver “Power” Grant, an original member of the seminal early 1990s hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan, has died, the New York City-based group says.

a tier system in place to go and enjoy the picture show? kiss my ass.

we don't need this.

In yet another shakeup in the local TV news space, a number of longtime anchors at stations in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago have been laid off.

I've had so many people recommend that I watch this damn 4-hour youtube video essay (exposé?) on Tyler Perry. I just turned it on. I will report back.

I've been plotting to leave CA for a little over 24 months now--because of personal dissatisfaction in a few key areas of my life. I've recently changed my mind and weighed the options of my overall quality of life and well-being. This state is likely the best place for me to be for the time being.

Today’s @blavity.bsky.social town hall—all about the current state of affairs with #hbcu— check it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgMD...

We are going to have to openly boo Meta glasses like we do cyber trucks. I hope establishments start banning them

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

so much fun! Thank you for sharing! #furiousthoughtspod
