The one wearing green sleeves. I'll see myself out...

Jesus' grandmother to Mary.

Soak some pecans in a lil' butter, vanilla, a lot of brown sugar and bourbon* for awhile, then lightly salt and roast them. Scoop them into a dish. When they cool down - YOU'RE WELCOME. *these are the measurements: a 'lil and a lot. #food

Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet

I love every way this post has gone and been quoted. I'm tearing up in pride and love for my people.

Full of the faith...

Let it resound loud as the rolling seas

I want to thank all the commenters here for reminding me why I've been wanting to fight Mr. UncleDaddy Shoeblack since 2009. And only partly because of this stupid look!

Today continues my 16-year fight-on-sight dislike for this man, looking like a shoe-black Tin Man. "A-Teenie...a-Teenie..." 😡

Billie Jean Brandy The whole Barbara v. Shirley saga

Reader: she made not one but two whiskey cakes before her Tuesday doctor's appointment. The first one barely lasted 24 hours.

Ther are now 3 generations who don't know how she got up and did something. Here friends were dying. Rock Hudson's death really shook her to her core.

How quickly can we get some medieval-style castles built in the US? Because when this horror is over, there needs to some heads on pikes. And dungeons.

I wish you would jump up the second we land. Do. It."

How come I got leftover dessert and I'm thinking about making a whiskey cake? I'd better save that idea until after Tuesday's doctor appointment. #food

Historical facts 😂😂😂

Predict the next great French heist. My guess: Le Creuset

So I'm watching this film "The Family Plan 2" set in London and there's a scene with the family sitting in a car, and somebody explain to me why the steering wheel is on the left?

Two must go. Ham because I can't eat it. Green bean casserole because I won't eat it.

"You'll be visited by three spirits." The three spirits:

I'm so glad this is back!

A movie that takes place where you're from.

A Marks and Spencer in New Jersey would fix me.

For no reason, learning about Sulla in undergrad is coming back to me lately. Yeah. No reason whatsoever. #USpolitics #history en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulla%2...

Just this morning I was saying to a group of Lutherans how, if you wanted to, you could break away and form an independent Lutheran church, but that opens you up the potential abuse of power and people. Because crap like this happens. 🤬

Me at first: WHAT???? Me after a few seconds: Well, their predecessor did make bank on the slave trade, so this tracks.

He put a hit out on a member of Congress.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

August 17, 1870, my ancestors were counted for the 1st time. (More in the alt-text) Ed & Ginnie, my 2nd g-grands. Their daughter Mary: my g-gmother. Next door was Thomas Callahan, first known in that line in my family. Next, the Herndons. Alonzo (12) was my 2x g-gmother Ginnie's 1/2 sib.

As 'spensif as this Lyft ride is, don't ask me to talk. Just drop me at my door.

Thank you, Progressive Insurance ads, for trying to teach people to leave strangers alone. It's not working but thanks anyway.

Who knew that #Macy's downtown Chicago had a "likka sto" in the basement? @dradambanks.bsky.social you need to see this!

We've reached the dance portion of the night and oh, my lord, what are these people doing? Is this because of the pandemic? Have we lost something? Panicking. At the disco.

Two more are here. One is the bride's sorority sister. Did their school not have D9? The Lightskin Sister is still avoiding me. I should go over and breathe on her.

I sense that I unnerved her because I'm visibly Black and she could...a l m o s t...pass. (skinfolk =/= kinfolk) OH WAIT. A BROTHER JUST WALKED IN. WE BLACK NOW.

Wait. Another just arrived. I...think...she's Black? She made eye contact, so almost the nod? Stay tuned.

Y'all pray. I'm the only Black person at this party.

In an argument about ableism, "Did I stutter?" I'm never leaving these skies.

Our greatest museum is actually the @thelouvreof.bsky.social, for treasures like this.

Let's talk about how the Jurassic Park franchise are indeed Thanksgiving films...for dinosaurs.

The way commenters are getting dogmatic over this, when no western language had formalized spelling or grammar rules until recent centuries, and despite the fact that colonization changes the rules, even English. It's all relative.

Mine will read, "WHAT ROXANE GAY'S TOMBSTONE SAID."

Watching Jurassic World Rebirth and rooting for the dinosaurs. Because, humans.

Resign it then and leave thine insolence. Since thou wert king—as who is king but thou?⁠— The commonwealth hath daily run to wrack, The Dauphin hath prevail’d beyond the seas, And all the peers and nobles of the realm Have been as bondmen to thy sovereignty.

Not #target with the holiday ads trying to woo the biracials. Hold the line, clear ones! We're counting on you!

Mamdani is going to implement Shamong law. Everyone will be required to do a Michael Jackson song plus dance moves every day.

So many great things to this weekend but my favorite might be the 2 year-old in children's choir rehearsal at church today sitting there all uncooperative like, "I'm just here so I don't get fined."

This is the foolish joy I need in my life.

I still wanna fight the Creative Writing college prof who didn't know how to teach so they made us read a book on Watson & Crick's discovery of #DNA as the only textbook for the entire semester.
