Here to share a short story I wrote in 2023 for class. It made me think about Sinners. Please read and subscribe. She's here! dabakerwrites.substack.com/p/the-devils...

We celebrated Sirius being ten and Trinity being with us a year this weekend. I can't believe I occupy a house with a dog and a ferret lol.

I finished my Statement of Purpose essay and I think I could even afford to cut it down. Proud of myself.

Waymond Wang. The world is chaotic, indifferent, and often cruel; all we have is each other, and we’re all hurting. Sometimes, a little understanding can be life changing. Waymond’s entire character is about fighting back with radical compassion - and sometimes a fanny pack if he needs it.

AHAHAHAHA

Sirius is truly an old man. He's barking whenever the youth drive by playing their music too loud lol

Writing like my grandmother 🥲

My baby is turning 17 Monday. What will we dooo 😭

I am not at that job anymore but the moment I showed that I was overwhelmed with the lack of organization and support I was told I was not a team player and had a whole narrative created about me. I spent 4 1/2 years trying to get out of there 😭

When I worked with the #missmillies I was fighting for my life to get my things and go.

I always really liked Hackman, I loved the way he tenderized awful characters, making you hope for their redemption despite it all. So sorry for Hackman and Arakawa’s families, such a bummer.

Who is taking part in the blackout today? I'm all in Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

Burying my head in my hands and crying like that one video of Thandiwe Newton when she cried about being better than darker skinned Black actresses.

My nephew was supposed to come over this weekend and we were gonna celebrate birthday shenanigans but my baby's sick sooooo - I'll be working on my Master's SOP essay instead. If anyone has their Masters and has advice, please throw it at me. Thank you!

Finally started the app process for the Masters program next year. I don't think today was a good day to do that though because my eyes are so heavy 😭

My bank account is so happy Target chose foolishness

Coyotes look like they hang out at the corner store and smoke Newports. I will not elaborate

Pee-Wee's Playhouse episodes on Youtube. And I'm up in that bih like I'm 4 years old in Louisiana again

Mans having conversations with Death in real time so I imagine he won't be

I've been watching youtube videos about mobsters and gang members all day and it has been VERY insightful

No!

Being excited about my car insurance premium going down is the most washed middle-aged thing in the world but I did milly rock so IDC this how I feel rn

People are taking dogs to Home Depot. They do not want to be at no fucking Home Depot with you running errands. They want to be curled up, snoozing, getting a break from y'all needy asses.

The big, giant development nerd in me just did a Page speed inspection on beyonce.com and to the surprise of no one - greens across the board

Why did I say it aloud to see and OOH WEE lmaooo I covered my mouth!

There just has to be a better alternative to Ticketmaster artists can use. These fees???

My mom liking Kendrick more than Drake on the simple basis that he's cuter is her brand and I love that for her. (He is cuter)

This weekend, I wrote about Birds of Prey and its compromised (for lack of a better word?) release. Under better circumstances, I think we would've gotten at least two more of these bsky.app/profile/io9d...

LET THIS BE A LESSON EVERYTHING ALIGNED WITH DONALD J TRUMP WILL CRUMBLE UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE SPIRIT OF MY ANCESTORS

That man need to go sit down somewhere (in a community for 62 and up)

Y'all said y'all were gonna be our alLIES in 2020 and you never disappoint me when it comes to my distrust. Start disappointing meeee

MORE BLACK ACTRESSES

Okay, so joy as resistance has been completely removed from its original context, and that’s why what you know of now doesn’t really work. In the Roaring 20s, during the Harlem Renaissance, Zora Neale Hurston found herself at odds not only with conservative whites but also neo-abolitionists

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! she shouts into the void

Don't threaten me with a good time

I was watching a Youtube video where someone did a breakdown of Cape Fear the movie vs the book it was based on then I had a dream about Cape Fear and Robert DeNiro was about to take out me and my whole crew but then a Pokemon appeared and tore his ass UP. I love my dreams.

In honor of BlackHistoryMonth I'm creating a buy list of the quintessential African American Literature Canon. These are the books that we would save from a burning library #booksky #blackbooksky I'll make the list public when we get at least 50 responses. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

Leave your government job like this. They can't carry you all.

What makes people want to get married on plantations.

And considering where the Nazis got their whole playback from ch...

We are facing challenges to our civil rights and severe antiblackness. The stability of this county is precarious. However, I still need you to buy my products because if you don't I will be poor without civil rights when I'd rather be rich without civil rights. You understand, right? 🫶🏾

it was less than 6 months ago a lady threw away her entire career to have an emotional affair with a man that looks like Krang from the ninja turtles

IT ME. :) If you're in the Cincy area this Saturday around noon, swing by the Downtown Main Library and see me and other talented Black writers and creatives at CHPL’s 6th African American Read-In! chpl.org/blogs/post/b...

Y'all blame political parties for being weak but you haven't done your part. Democracy doesn't end in the voting booth every 4 years. Take responsibility for this shit too. Many of you are lazy, uninformed,and performative. You are too scared to write, call, or talk to people. Y'all are the worst.
