(The podcasters know this too.)

This. It seems like everyone is trying to have a collective experience when we’re actually here to have different experiences

pls stop calling yt ppl who are settlers in any country on the African continent anything that includes the word 'African', no matter how many generations ago their violent genocidal settler ancestors have been there. call them dutch settlers, german settlers, etc.

Expensive af and honestly, now everything feels like a very costly tracking device. 🙃

Everything that brings me joy doesn't have to be monetized.

Happy Valentine’s Day, BlackSky. 😉 youtu.be/b5HyMZdrNLY?...

I companion planted lavender and rosemary and now I can’t tell if both or only 1 was successful. I do enjoy the mystery stage of “what did I do” of early sprouts

I asked for this handmade apron for Valentine's day and it's a million times better than I imagined. It's so so so cuteeee

It’s really absurd that blocking someone doesn’t remove them from following. Like that doesn’t even make sense

The Vampire Lestat - Mini Trailer Happy Valentine’s Day 🩸❤️

Listen to who his examples are 📚 🤓 Cuba 🤎 North Korea 🤎 China 🤎 Vietnam 🤎 This world would be so much different if Brown people were in charge instead of white people 👀

Got my son a little 37-key keyboard for Valentine’s Day. He loves it! Glad he has something new to occupy himself with today since it will be too rainy for the park.

Happy death of Captain Cook day to the Hawaiian people and all others who celebrate it! The Hawaiian people 💀'd him today in 1779. Dr. Haunani Kay Trask talking about how these white people knew wtf they were doing. A great reminder to not let these people revise history and play in your face.

These Buddi infused seltzers ain’t nothing to play with. I was good & lifted last night. My lil last-minute kickback was a success! No point is dragging our middle-aged asses to the club when we have drinks, food, & vinyl at the house. 😋

This makes me so happy. I nerd out over these old animation styles. Never got into anime heavy, but this? Obsessed. Sidenote: Tubi actually has a good library of old movies, if you’re into that.

The legacy of ATL's Black grocers of Reconstruction www.ajc.com/food-and-din... Black entrepreneurs of the late 1800s capitalized on low grocery prices to build businesses that served Black people's needs and influenced Atlanta’s present-day institutions. #TeachReconstruction #BlackReconstruction

Wow.

I have zero connection to animation other than having watched it, but this article about technical lighting effects in cel animation and how these analog processes created effects almost impossible to replicate digitally is INCREDIBLY interesting!

It’s not frou frou-frou to say there’s power in the arts

"I'M IN THE KITCHEN... MAKING THE DINNER THAT I KNOW YOU LIIIIIIIKE!!!!"

This is how I feel being 40 with a 4-year-old. 😆🫩 Got me out here climbing playground equipment on Friday evenings while my friends with big kids are at dinner sipping nice wine.

I learn so much from you folks. The rants and random posts contain gems from time to time and I soak it up. Y’all smart and stuff.

do not use bsky DMs for anything you don't want the bsky team to read. as Rudy points out, if you need to use bsky DMs at all, use Germ:

please check any celeb photos you see for that Generatoxic @ or logo. That image is AI. Also assume any celeb photo you see that is not sourced is AI. This is too much.

Black residents’ lawsuit against Louisiana parish may proceed, judge rules. Community organizations allege that St. James Parish has discriminated against Black residents by allowing chemical facilities in majority Black areas, dubbed “Cancer Alley,” ray levy uyeda reports.

This is so irksome. That’s why I’ve been trying to point to links more, instead of photos, because there’s too much slop to sift through.

I love her! Blessings to the elders.

Shit i guess somebody better go tell Frantz Fanon, Simone de Beauvoir, W.E.B Dubois, bell hooks, Judith Butler, Alain Locke, Harriet McBryde Johnson, Paulo Freire, Hannah Arendt, The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., & just a shit ton of other people that they can't be scholars & activists. Damn 🫤. 🫠

I hope the rain does not interfere with the shenanigans I have planned for Saturday. But rain or shine, I’m rocking this new red dress. 😆 Y’all just please be safe on the roads tomorrow. ❤️

Please read the sweep series it’s so good. Also the mambo Reina series so much fun.

Being alone on Valentine’s Day is not a failure. You are loved and your community cares for you. Please be gentle with yourselves. ♥️🎁

Happy Friiiiiiiiday!!!! We made it pals! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Happy payday to those who observe.
