This is how progressive politics is done.

Deadass, if I have to expatriate myself, I wanna live where I'm not the minority. Kenya and Ghana were on the list already. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxK2...

Passed this one around the family group chat. Behold, my son, the contrarian. Takes after his pappy. I'm going to agree with the others that I could do without pumpkin spice. Starbucks marketing ploy

We could have had this bad ass black woman as president but nah, ops be hating so hard they'd rather kts with bad laws, infrastructure, policies. I was doing fine until I remembered that she's fine.

My mom grew up poor so even though we were middle class, my Halloween costumes were poor. Had a glow in the dark Jason mask and an ugly sweater that reminded me of Freddy. Walked around with a cheap Dollar Store axe. For several years. Best costume? I had some Ninja Turtle... pajamas

For real. When the headline said he had 14 kids I was like, ain't no way a sista-- well I stand corrected. From the looks of things, they wanted a boy and kept striking out so they can just kept going And going. And going....

Bought this LEGO in 2022 to support Disney's support of Black Panther. At $350, it was both expensive and unpopular. I procrastinated and didn't take it back. This year, I discovered that someone made an alternate build that's more accurate. I'm excited to spend an additional $17 and get started!

Speaking of retail therapy, the Steam Autumn sale usually happens during Thanksgiving, so I know a recession is here if even Valve is pushing this 2 months ahead. At any rate, my wallet is ready! 🎮 #gaming #blackskygamers youtu.be/aJZko_5b4KE?...

Ok that's a lot of politics out of me the past few days. Need to transition ironically to being anti-capitalist while doing capitalist things by coping though buying things. More books, video games, and LEGOs for me!

I also find Wolverine boring. His one saving grace is that he's Canadian.

Black people hate racists* That includes the kind Harriet would have left behind on the plantation.

In this job market, would need to be $15-$20 more per hour to be worth the risk.

I hope @jay.bsky.team and her "Updated Community Guidelines" sees this.

It was easy to boycott Target. Just shop elsewhere. It was easy to cancel Disney +. Just a few clicks. But caffeine is a drug, which is why Starbucks is still in business. Good luck.

Good for those students! They succeeded because that guy probably showed up without a permit. The problem is, Tennessee State University is a public school, so they could get permission first then try it again...if they're smart (lol, but also yikes).

Nah, when said DEFUND THE POLICE we absolutely 100% ten toes down stand on business meant that shit. Giving a fk where the money goes is the negotiable, after the fact. DEFUND THE POLICE is not, never was, never will be.

Reconstruction bros have long understood that in the American context, "socialism" most often means "integration and equality" bsky.app/profile/bren...

I'd like to be able to search for terms within a feed (like #blacksky) instead of all of Blue Sky.

Another thing that sex on the beach gets wrong is that at dusk, crustaceans emerge from the sea & shimmy onto the shore where they nest & sleep for the night. If you think sand in the unmentionables is an inconvenience, imagine an unannounced Pinch of DEATH in the dark. ...in the unmentionables!

I see the singles are talking about that "use me" clip. My wife and I have a thing. She dramatically and femininely says, "I need a man!" And put my fists on my hips and poke out my chest while declaring :*I* am a man!" Then she tells me what she needs. Cheesy, but we enjoy it.

My 19, 18, and 16-year-old children find sex scenes in movies repulsive. They even find make-out sessions cringe. It's because they're emotionally intelligent enough to understand that spectacles of physical intimacy are unearned within a 90-minute movie.

For our marine biology friends

WAS??? We have engineers designing transforming LEGOs now! Transformers: Soundwave 10358 | LEGO® Icons | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US share.google/XETOBptc7TEc...

I remember when stuff like this was FREE when you pre-ordered. I still have my Tenchu tee and Sonic Colors hedgehog hat.

Her being the only billionaire willing to keep HBCUs afloat tracks.

Okay so it was 1TB. I forgot. I mean, look at that layer of dust, lmao! About to load this joker in right now though.

They were internment camps camps before. Now, they have undeniably escalated into concentration camps. Going to need intenationals-the EU-to stop being cowardly and intervene. Sovereignty should end at crimes against humanity.

The easiest casting call ever. deadline.com/2025/09/spid...

RIP, Rudi Johnson. In memory of him, the greatest call I've ever heard for a running back on live television. youtu.be/JNf6xDqTPVk?...

Why did I suddenly remember that I purchased a 2 TB SSD drive like 3 years ago that I never bothered to install onto my PC because I have to unmount my video card to access the mobo slot for it. And now I have an irresistible urge to install it as soon as I get off from work today. 🤔🤔🤔 😏😏😏

While all the rapture talk is a fun diversion in Black discourse, the source of it is American Evangelicalism (yes, even exported to South African pastors). It obfuscates Rosh Hashanah. The intent disparages other faith traditions. That's why I'm not participating.

Thanks for the book suggestion. Add: Thomas the Cat AND his mammy owner.

This sounds like someone who has grown accustomed to trauma and is normalizing. Boring is good. Routine. Predictable. Reliable. Comforting. Trustworthy. Secure. Chill. If you want the antonyms of these adjectives (bad, uncertain, chaotic, vexing, pernicious, mendacious, etc) then please stay away

Because as so many have said already, in Thr Handmaid's Tale, white people are the victims, not the bad guys, of Imperialism. Appeals to Jane Austin tone of sentimentality, that WW are victims of the Empire rather than willing participants.

Resist the surveillance state by choosing non-participation. That means don't shop there y'all.

This is facts. Those of us who work in pharmacy are having a giggle.

Asking ppl to cancel their luxury, first world problems Disney + subs is as minimal effort as writing this post. Asking people to stop paying their taxes under the threat of federal retribution that includes fines & garnished wages for life, or jail time, would kick off another American Revolution

I know she does it to piss off her white make billionare peers and we love her for that. (Especially cuz my daughter is a direct recipient) www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/b...

Man when we can search within feeds (such as only searching for LEGO under community.blacksky), it's gonna be OVER!

My Weekend in Video Games (with alt text ofc)

We should spam this thread at everyone who says we should go back to that place.

So YouTube has this new, probably LLM-driven feature where you can type in what you like and it will give suggestions. I put "Black women content creators" and out of the four videos and my YT experience is already 1000% better than it has ever been.

How she could fit those hips in that Photon costume was a minor miracle. Mein Gott!

LMAOOOOO If this happens, folks still posting Tik Tok links on here are OPS deadline.com/2025/09/fox-...

I'm not a hater, but I'm annoyed that so may "gaming" feeds are full of ppl trying to get you to watch their Twitch streams. There's very little dialogue or interactions.

Disco Elysium is one of those rare games that everyone says is a 10/10, and even if you try to approach it with intentionally contrarian incredulity by the time you finish, the best you can muster is that everyone is wrong, it's actually an 11/10. Sublime experience.

Because "machine learning" in oxymoron. Machines will always do precisely what they are programmed to do. That's why I refuse to LLMs "AI."
