There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

How they mad at “perfect” now ? SMH

It’s people dead that ain’t got no business being dead

Everyone, I wanted to let you know about the sad news that despite everyone's best efforts Bluestockings will close at the end of the year: www.bluestockings.com - I want to thank every single person who sent books to them through my book drive [will share more later]. A tremendous loss to NYC.

John Lee Hooker with a diagram of the evolution of the Blues.

Just a reminder that a staggering number of Black women have also lost their jobs due to capitulation to this administration. That deserves more outrage.

If you found that Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled due to FCC coercion was a heinous attack on free speech (& it sure as hell is!) wait till you hear about the 10,000 books that have been banned in schools & libraries! If you're an author, join the fight @authorsabb.bsky.social We're stronger together!

Man of Your Word into What’s Goin On?! CHEFS KISS

Fucking hell Cardi

I found my prom photo while packing I’m so nostalgic, and idk this dress still eats 😂

Librarians as a group are sensitive to the bans and who is being harmed by them, but other ppl seem okay with denial for now ☹️ Imo libraries are our strongest defense here, but they need our support. Activists have taken up building open access “little free libraries” that include the banned books:

Grand children of slaves are alive today.

Do people not recognize how people who aren't from NYC talk about NYC???? They talk about us terribly, all of the time. LOL.

Sabrina Carpenter having a breeding kink makes me feel so seen 😂

The freak shit i like 😂

My favorite classic book has always been Wuthering Heights—it’s a great story, but 90% of the draw is that the hero is NOT white. Ms mamas changing all the things & making my mans Elordi is not a vibe. I’d rather she’d just called it something else so i can enjoy its weirdness like i did Saltburn.

Social media conspiracy theorists getting their information:

There’s no world in which you can explain this based on merit. There just isn’t.

liberals will tell you with a straight face that fascism will win if you don’t vote for him.

He was the best actor in this movie out of B2k lmaoo

i'm actually a big believer in drafting by hand. i think it helps you think in a different way then typing on a screen

Dude is like everyone who was mad at that lady on Twitter who enjoyed sitting in her garden with her boo.

Girls Trip is truly a solid ass movie. Loved that i got to watch it in theaters with my girls

30 years since Jagged Little Pill came out and the way it still feels fresh?!

None of those qualifications are mEYE fault?!

This is dark sided

Honestly me. My brain to mouth filter needs an update 😂

Was literally just listening to Used to Love Me. Sis was DEEP in it 😂

The only people who think Russell is corny are corny ass niggas. The projection is INSANE

White people aren't well. Period.

Wow what a time. We need a archive of it all 😩

Nah. But I’m pretty so we gonna have to take the wins with the losses 😂

Exactly this. Please think about how many people will die in a civil war. If we have the same proportion of casualties as last time, we are looking at around ten million deaths. And I think it'll be worse.

People are so excited that we might be on the verge of civil war. I’m not. I’m a basic bitch who likes basic things like pumpkin spice lattes and not getting shot at in the grocery store.

Demascus deserves an Emmy my god

Demascus is funny as shit 😂

Bro if we ever reach the other side of this fucking thing the documentary is going to be bananas. What do you mean his mistress is influencing policy?!

"I use AI because I want to draw but drawing's hard." I'm not entitled to be an astronaut or a sculptor or a math professor or a decathlete simply because I feel like being one and learning to do it is hard and maybe, for me, impossible. Dem's da fuckin' breaks!

Because here's the story. Kaepernick started targeting Black comic book creatives. He was at San Diego Comic Con last year in artist alley with his "engineer". When they ALL pushed back, he ended up at a Newark charter school fabulizemag.com/black-creati...

He's also been out of work for almost a decade. He became a board member of Medium claiming to publish marginalized authors. That never happened. He got an imprint KP publishing. He published one graphic novel and handful of kidlit. He complained about books taking too long.

I wish I could find a publication to pay me to investigate these claims. Nobody is asking what he's doing with the content these kids are feeding his AI slop. Nobody is asking if the content is deleted or stored. Who owns it? Who has the rights to it?

At this point it’s what they deserve. I have performance anxiety for him.

The type of African American Aliens I’m waiting on to beam me up. (Yes I know , pls lol).

I’ve resigned myself to never catching the Don’t at the end of the Bryson Tiller song.

I can’t tell if it’s AI or yt people absolutely butchering the lyrics of some of my favorite songs, but I have beef with Apple Music. And it’s usually our shit. Like bitch?! 😂😩

The more I think back on this, the crazier it is.

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.
