It's a Marvelous Music Monday. What new album has had you hitting repeat?

To Whom It May Concern is an amazing album. The loving the variety of genres of sound explores. The topics are varied and the features were all amazing. Not a single skip on it. I've been able to just let the album run and listen to it. Fav song so far is "Right Here Right Now" youtu.be/IQuFaR4q3Hs

I love BHM. This is insane.

Gaming discourse kinda sucks rn fr. Folks poo poo on every new game, every DLC, every trending title. And it’s NVR constructive. Just a bunch of negative Nancy-ing for clicks and views. I hate it here 😒

I am proud to announce your Melly Mel is now a Black Guild Mentor. I can't wait to help folks create AND keep safe their communities.

Also, a PSA if you use Kindle--they're shutting down the function that allows you to download your files and transfer them via USB on February 26. So if a book is taken off Amazon for any reason (being banned, for example) they can scrape it off your kindle as well. So back those eBooks up now!

Whoever stole my Microsoft Office, I will find you. You have my Word.

God will send the most unlikely folks to minister to my soul when I'm going through it. I just had a 15 minute convo with a homeless man and everything I asked God he answered. I crap you not.

So I'm just waking up. But bump music 3 dropped like 50 minutes ago. Give it a listen. open.spotify.com/album/7cePmR...

I'm thinking about doing a vision board on stream tomorrow. Also, maybe an accountability board (inspired by @blusatire.bsky.social ) to keep me on top of things. And if I still got some energy, I'll start a new game.

A professor of African American Studies accidentally started a movement on TikTok and now we have the very free and very real HillmanTok University. Check out the courses (spreadsheet not mine)— bit.ly/HilltokCourses

Not everyone will get my every reference. Everyone won't always laugh at my jokes. But dammit the ones who listen! The ones who chuckle just because they don't get it. The ones who don't know what it's from, but that i say it often. Are the ones who Leo me going
