I have this awful feeling (a fear, not a prediction) that if Tr*mp left this earthly realm things would get even worse. No simple ways out of this mess, I suspect. 😩😔

So. New York City’s new First Lady is bringing a significant amount of Domme energy and I am not saying we need to discuss this but I am trained as a historian and feel it should be noted for the record! 💁🏽‍♀️🔥😎

Even if the space isn’t mandating masks… …can we do something- ANYTHING - in terms of fresh air exchange, filtering?!! Folks laughing at anti-vaxxers…meanwhile they act as it the whole entire disease of COVID (or any airborne virus!) does not exist.

While Musk must be held accountable for his role in so much suffering and death… … at this point I need us to dismantle the systems that made this possible. His success is the manifestation of massive societal failure.

Me waiting for the bus omw to kick your ass

Lordy. I had almost forgotten how much I dislike being in non-COVID cautious spaces. And tonight my mask was off for part of the evening and now I’m left to worry about what’s next. Please let all end well…😔😔

Exactly this. Because here’s the thing, if you widen the damn tent to accommodate transphobes it is no longer covering my trans peeps or my cisgendered behind! Wide tents for political parties are cool, to a point , but they can’t cover every damn body. There are CHOICES TO BE MADE.

😂🫡🇧🇷

The Velvet Rope singlehandedly changed the landscape of music, shifted the conversation about purity culture in the Black community, influenced everyone from Beyoncé to Britney Spears and birthed alternative R&B. It is her magnum opus and one of the greatest albums of all time.

Submitted without comment! (…because I don’t know where to begin!🥰🔥😎)

Me, watching “Andor…” …formerly a girl-child who sincerely wanted to be the tail-gunner on the Millennium Falcon when I grew up… …I’m sitting here quoting Aretha Franklin (without the shade!)…”The GOWNS…beautiful GOWNS…” Much respect to all involved in Andor’s costume design and music/culture.

Y’all know this is a Charlie Kirk reference, right? I gotta give credit where it is due. This is clever.

Hi @msnbc.com! Can y’all send a message to Katy Tur? She needs to know that she doesn’t get to call Latina reporters (or anyone 💁🏽‍♀️) by a nickname because she believes doing so would be easier for her that saying the reporter’s actual name. Thanks in advance.

@lbarronlopez.bsky.social I saw the look on your face when Katy Tur decided that calling you “LBL” was going to be okay because it was easier for HER…😡 …and just thought I’d let you know you weren’t the only one who knows that’s NOT cool. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you for your service. Wishing you peace. 🕊️

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I’m ALSO realizing that this is the last election where MSNBC gets to use their (actually NBC’s) usual “Election Night Music.” That music is kinda upsetting at this point, tho’.

WAIT! I just realized that MSNBC loses Steve Kornacki in their split with NBC!! Nooo!! I love Ali Velshi, but no Kornacki at the MSNBC Big Board is yet another thing 2025 took away from me!

Jon Stewart is interviewing Joe Manchin and I’m pissed because this is the most nuanced conversation with a politician I’ve seen in years. This is on Comedy Central! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Such a sin and a shame. Mainstream news shows aren’t even trying for the most part. (And no, not saying Daily Show is perfect…)

Do GOP Congress folk believe think that the Exec branch is at all concerned with them? It’s so awkward. 😬 Thinking they are on the same team. Chests puffed up with low level grift, “living hand to mouth on a higher plateau.” Never noticing Trump looks down on them much like they look down on me.

They came for Teen Vogue and I’m so disgusted. Who is able to download previous articles? That archive in important. Meanwhile, no more climate change desk at CBS. I can’t even comprehend the implications of both of these changes.

AI “actors” in a damn TV commercial. Hate it so much.

“Andor” won awards for costume design, right? Because the costume designer did the damn thing with these outfits! And I love the music/culture elements…

So, I was gonna live post “Billionaire Bunker” on Netflix because it was awesome and hilarious! Like a post-apocalypse, Money Heist telenovela! But I just realized that, a lot of us here in the U.S. are being fooled. We are not billionaires, but a lot of us are in the bunker. Yikes.

Watching “Andor” and annoyed that the white men who wrote this can’t imagine revolution without sacrificing the queer women of color (especially once they find love). Bringing back the classics!

This explains why I like to discuss sharia law while sitting on a chaise lounge chair drinking chai tea. 💁🏽‍♀️😉

Much respect to Jean Chatzky from “Her Money” who used her interview on CNN to provide tips to SNAP recipients. Talking TO them, not just about them. I wish this moment could be used to really teach about these programs and FUNDAMENTAL FLAWS of this system that SNAP & ACA partially conceal.

We all should be demanding that every corporation that has profited from their utilization (exploitation 💁🏽‍♀️) of Jamaican/Caribbean resources STEP UP RIGHT NOW. I don’t want some puny check. I need a HUGE check & cruise ships filled w/MREs along the West Coast. Now.

Just got a text from a Black(face) SuperPAC warning me that Mamdani is a threat to the Black community. 😡 I’m thinking these pathetic scare tactics from Cuomo means that Mamdani’s efforts to win over Black voters are working! Yay! 🎉

@mtc-nyc.bsky.social Hi! Please remind the folks connected to your show “Queens” (about undocumented immigrants living in a basement apt)… …that they shouldn’t refer to the characters in the play as “illegal immigrants” as they did on “Morning Joe.” I’m hoping it was an accident. Thank you!

Question: How much of a geek do I need to be to get into 3D whistle printing? How fancy a 3D printer do I need? 🤔🤔

Oh pretty please people, let’s include alt text when answering these fun questions! It’s one of those circumstances when it is extra EXTRA useful! (I feel like when folks see these “post a pic” things they think it means they shouldn’t include the alt text)

Hurricane coverage by mainstream white media has pissed me off MY ENTIRE LIFE. I really need to just watch The Weather Channel and not raise my blood pressure. At least this white dude speaking on CNN (Jonathan Petramala) is trying to be a proper ally to Jamaicans.

I just saw a ASL translator communicating with a Jamaican accent! 🇯🇲✊🏾🥰

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

After a certain point… …after it’s gone on for almost full work day, …doesn’t a baseball game officially qualify as a cricket match? 😏🤔

I’m gonna respectfully (for now) ask everyone on here who apparently wants to take this moment of anxiety and grief in the Caribbean diaspora… …to say “I told you so” regarding climate change without a word of empathy for the people at risk…. DON’T DO IT. Discard that effing draft.

This “Sandals” (all inclusive resort in Jamaica) is making me want to cry…and also cuss somebody out. All those images of a beautiful island, brought to you by a demi-colonialist exploitative corp. Bob Marley song on the ad, “Don’t worry/’bout a thing / Every lil thing / gonna be all right..” 😔💔🇯🇲

They might need to put a content/trigger warning on these images of Hurricane Melissa approaching Jamaica. I can’t just say “thoughts and prayers” I’m battling tears and panic. To everyone counting the hours and tracking latitude/longitude…I see you. ❤️‍🩹🇯🇲🇭🇹🇨🇺✊🏾

Did I just watch an Acura motors car commercial that used an AI generated voice over?!? What are they thinking?

It amazes me to hear people just chuckle at the thought of Trump serving a third term. Especially when they say, but “That’s illegal!” “Look at the 22nd Amendment!” It doesn’t say someone can’t serve a third term. It says that the can’t be ELECTED a third time. Spirit of the law? Please stop.

I keep seeing posts on here and they are so basically true but mean and judgy and odd. I don’t how to describe it other than feeling that tons of people are in a particular type of pain and this is how they cope. My struggles don’t manifest like that, but I sympathize somewhat. I guess. A little.

@jessicawluther.com Hey - thanks for the follow back! I really appreciated your posts back in the other place and it was cool to find you on here!

Karine Jean-Pierre is on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” and every host is going in hard. Which is annoying when these GOP white dude offer nothing but sound bites and lies and cable hosts are like “thanks for your time!” Mad disrespectful. I’m no KJP fangirl, but I’ve got priorities, damnit.

Random observations: In TV shows & movies set in imagined worlds (e.g Star Wars universe), the fancy important people always sound like BBC1 English people. Also:,The Oura ring 4 battery is trash. Absolute trash. It lasts a day and the low battery notifications raise your stress score!

This thread right here. 🧵 THIS THREAD. I am not naive about this evil ass system, but MY GOD

I volunteer to lead us all in singing the original Ewok song of celebration as ritualized symbol of our forgiveness! (@chanda.blacksky.app )

All trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated? (Trump didn’t like some anti-tariffs ad. 🙄) Please don’t let him start w/that 51st state ish again! I swear these people read slave narrative cliff notes (or The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu) ad wanted to make sure we couldn’t flee to Canada.

I was in a mom-and-pop type discount shop in NYC today. And everything was so expensive it was downright scary. But then I found a random plastic organizer thingy that was only 7 bucks. Cool. At the register, the cashier gasped. “This must be wrong.” The plastic thingy was the last of its tribe.

He is a white man who wants something! Are you REALLY gonna tell him he can’t have it because he did/said something that was unkind* (😏) to marginalized people?!? That is downright un-American, friend! Thats a slippery slope!! This is a matter of principle! ✊🏻

Prediction: Trump will blame the contractors for destroying the East Wing against his specific instructions… (because he LOVES The White House, remember?)… …and he uses it as an excuse not to pay them. 💁🏽‍♀️ Kidding/Not Kidding
