Don’t know if it’s supposed to be a promotion, but moving Ali Velshi (on MSNOW) to 11pm during the week is kind of a loss.

I love this damn town. I can’t help it. 🥰😎

I’m legit feeling for him right now! Exceptions gotta be made? Where is gonna be? Can the Mayor help??

Is Pulte the rich guy who used to do random mutual aid donations on the Bird app? This timeline is so perplexing.

I like this dude.

@wendyxu.bsky.social Hi Wendy - Thanks for the quality snacks and advice at the anti-AI playdate! Turns out my kids know your work -especially Tidesong - and now they are upset that they didn’t know you were THAT Wendy! So thanks to you (and of course @gregpak.net) for all you do!

Wow. Jen Psaki REALLY does not know how to read something for effect. But that’s literally her former and current job. She’s butchering this Scott Pelley statement. I don’t like her at all, but didn’t expect she’d be this bad…

A cop repeatedly punched a Black woman in the face in Shelby, NC while she requested mental health support. There is video. The cop has been fired. And I’m sitting here wondering what we don’t know… because police never want to fire cops for this. This cop likely has a *horrible* record of abuse.

@tepski.tech Oh. My. Goodness. I’m like “ooh, who is this doing IP law and culture?!” Then I hit the website and…Wait, WUT? Amanda (née) Levendowski! Hope you are well! Seeing your “redactive poetry from legal documents” project/pinned post made me smile!

Your TikTok Trad Wife Content Creators could NEVER! The thread is so useful and kind and collaborative and it might also be a recession indicator but idc idc Check it out! 🧵

I’m collecting (or reproducing) every single McDonald’s Happy Meal toy ever created. There will be a museum dedicated to this collection w/a McDonald’s PlayPlace on the lawn (that no one is can play on). Imma be as random as necessary to avoid becoming like those horrible dudes!

If someone put my name and likeness on materials claiming I was performing in a Trump event, I’d sue them for slander.

I love that more people know Edmonia Lewis’ name now. I did a short film about her (with a dear, dear friend) in college (Oberlin, where Edmonia also studied) and years later had my daughter do a project about her. Amazing woman, amazing artist, amazing life.

At the Peabody Essex Museum, a first-of-its-kind exhibition on sculptor Edmonia Lewis honors the pathbreaking artist’s Black and Indigenous ancestries.

Speaking of which: What is a show you watched that you were satisfied with how it ended? Is there a botched ending that still haunts you? (No images w/o alt text, please and thank you!)

I really wish shows (or fan communities) would crest a central list of when shows lose their way. That way you could choose not to watch, or choose to savor the quality seasons/episodes. 💁🏽‍♀️

Watching “The Boys” season five and I’m reminded of my respect and appreciation for shows that maintain the quality through to the series finale. “The Boys” is not one of those shows.

This picture was taken with someone of an appreciation of the WONDER that is a woman’s body… And I stand by my suggestion that Meg needs to explore and expand that appreciation. 💁🏽‍♀️😎

No lies detected. And while I take ownership of my mistakes, it is worth mentioning that, as a Black woman, I feel that others often have an extra willingness to consume and discard me. Vigilance is required to survive.

It’s the folded arms and gaze into the camera that does it for me. So serious! Listen, these are the “fail fast, fail often” folks, right? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ To the stars, y’all. Red Planet is calling…

This statement is *wild* even if you read it in context

I’m bummed that some of yall didn’t get my joke, but delighted to introduce you to one of my interwebz motivational coaches!

I don’t eat laffy taffy, so I am not here to judge. 🕊️ But I need to know… Do you also like the “booty end of the bread?” 😂😭

QUESTION for GenX & Xennials: Do you remember/know about extra warnings on film trailers with LGBTQ themes in the 2000’s? I’ve been told there was a red screen prior to the trailer playing in a theater (Like the space where it would say the trailer was fine for “all audiences.” I know not of this!

You know what would be cool? A resource that listed the most progressive and secure tech tools/services for small businesses. Big corporations are busy offering free stuff to entrepreneurs to get them hooked early, but I don’t want my ethical (🤞🏾🤨) business built on an exploitative foundation.

J.D. Vance makes me break out in hives. This would be the case even if he said things that weren’t awful. He’s doing a press conference and trying to be smooth like Marco Rubio was the other day and failing miserably. (No, I’m not a Marco Rubio fan, but he crushed it at that press conference…)

This thread 🧵 yup yup My two cents? Sit with the fact that these prepared girls and ill-prepared boys collectively have the same parents! Blaming moms for everything is annoying, but many women are reproducing some toxic cultural mess in their approach to parenting their boys. I’ve seen it up close

Never understood how the D’Angelo (RIP! 😩) song “Brown Sugar” is about weed and not a woman… Now I’m hearing that for the video for “Untitled (How Does it Feel” is about soul food (the director told him to think about his Nana’s cooking)… I feel like I’m being pranked on an episode of Soul Train.

Too much drama in my home right now, so it is great to offer this “fancy woman skyline enhancement” to myself and others. You’re welcome. There are beautiful women (the interesting, cool ones…I’m unconcerned with the others…)who look their age and those who don’t. I appreciate them all. I truly do.

Sharon friggin Stone, yo. Her entrance is “Casino” was where it started for me. And it hasn’t ended yet. Also, she’s apparently smart as hell and held her own and then some in an Albert Brooks (LOVE HIM) movie. WHEW. 🔥🔥🔥

There’s a vid crossposted over here w/Black ppl eating from boots and toilet plungers. AI generated, I’m assuming. Fascinating and frightening. It is in service of racist stereotypes created by white people and now disseminated by Black people. I reflect on who decided to tell this lie, and why.

Eggs, sausage, hash browns, (maybe) fruit and OJ! I’d make different choices, but this is U.S. diner food and I gotta tip the waitress AT LEAST 2-3 bucks. 💁🏽‍♀️ I love when diner food is done right, it can be hard to find though. 🫤

Five days later and I literally just went looking for this clip in my liked posts. It’s the confidence and the smile that got me willing to forget the shit that went down on TWD. 🥵😏

So is my face (which I have been trying to care for, as of late) breaking out because I got a facial or because I dyed my hair? Because this is a bummer, yo. (The rise of U.S. fascism is worse, but STILL…)

Thoughts and prayers go out to the translators tasked with figuring out how the hell to convey Trump’s soggy word salad into Mandarin. WHEW.

Why is the acting SO BAD in ads for those “guaranteed life insurance, no health questions, rates won’t increase” ads? We have a DEEP bench of talented actors in this country that would love a paid gig! So why do these people sound like they’ve never been in front of a camera? 🤨

And a Trans woman was fucking murdered last night on a college campus. Your Trans friends and neighbors are literally being targeted by maniacs via state propaganda. It is a fucking nightmare and ending it should be a requirement for any Dem fucking running in the midterms.

Today a nurse said to/warned me that testosterone gel “is a controlled substance, like OPIOIDS.” I’m still rolling my eyes! Ma’am, I get what you are saying, but WOW. Remember that scene in “Dopesick” where the Sacklers consider pushing “Low-T” pills instead of Oxy on an unsuspecting nation? 💁🏽‍♀️🙄

Imma be pissed (selfish rant here, I know there are other implications…) Imma be pissed if they robotaxis become a thing in NYC, because I don’t think I can deal with that and the Lyft/Uber apps eroded the livery car ecosystem in Brooklyn.

Did my friend just use genAI to respond to my text asking for her help/opinion? It is entirely possible that what she wrote just *sounds* like genAI (she is formal in her presentation), but it feels pretty awful to even wonder. This brand of worry is among of the challenges of this moment.

@jmdswim.bsky.social I see your posts so often, I didn’t realize I wasn’t following you! I’m here with a skin happiness question!

Did I tell you how twenty years ago I reclaimed the ability to WALK after becoming among the first to have a cutting edge surgery from a MacArthur Genius Grant winning Dr (& yrs of physical therapy)? I’m offended that I ever let people treat me like something other FIRST EDITION TREASURE that I am.

I am a Black woman over the age of 50 who has three advanced degrees, am among the one percent that has never had chicken pox, and am one of the three percent of people in the world who is a universal plasma donor. I’m a friggin UNICORN. Give me my flowers, or I’m taking them. 💁🏽‍♀️😎

Water nymph R&B girl group! OBVIOUSLY! (I need to unpack why I am so emphatic in these answers! I lose all chill! Over here rolling my eyes at people picking the boy band! 😭)

We used to be a COUNTRY

I’m lovin’ it.

Safety? SAFETY?!? I really wish people would stop using words that they don’t understand. Also, if he straps his kids into that thing someone needs to call Child Protective Services on his narrow behind!

Whew….this is dangerous stuff to put in my timeline! I need to just back away slowly from this post…it is activating parts of the academic nerd in me that need to slumber! But it is an important message for others though!

Marco Rubio sounds very Presidential when they let him speak in public… …and it worries me greatly. (I’m not saying he sounds like Kennedy or FDR, but as far as things go these days…)

I’m in Brooklyn and wanna learn how to do a new thing (art or movement based) with other Black/POC folks! Where yall at? What you up to? I look at everything from ceramics to capoeira and it’s pretty white. Even the “queer BIPOC centered” choir I just signed up for is mostly white! Help a sista!
