During the pandemic/quarantine, my granny was diagnosed with stage zero ductile breast cancer. She’s my 1st teacher, she retired when I was born. She then became a sitter for fam & friends. Today we celebrate her 89th birthday. I love her so much #YazooCityWhereItAllGoesDown

A must-read: Patrick Chandler Brown — named after the PCB chemicals dumped in his community — purchased the plantation where his great-grandfather was enslaved and is in the process of transforming it to serve farmers like him

The mother of one of the acquitted spoke passionately to reporters about standing by her son. The mother of one of the murder victims went to her son’s grave and wept. My article on the verdicts in the YSL racketeering trial: www.legalaffairsandtrials.com/p/jury-acqui...

I will never, ever get over this.

A little bit of Andromeda in my life A little bit of Andromeda by my side A little bit of Andromeda’s all I need A little bit of Andromeda’s all I see A quick and a of a bit lazy #astrophotography shot with my Redcat 61 and ASI183MC last night from the New Hampshire Seacoast 🔭

As I’m approaching a new year, one if the best things I experienced was an ego death tied to employment. When I worked a PT retail gig, we were talking abt our “day” jobs. A lady who worked two “gigs” replied to our explanations with…

My thought for this Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️

I need a job in video production. Teaching is cool, but it is unfulfilling.

praying i get to 18k on here so that when this kickstarter is said and done i can eradicate my bird account :-)

Anything anti black American will get you blocked by me. I stand 10 toes down for my people.

Y'all know what to do Bluesky! #FindAuntPat

If you're meated up and don't know what you're doing you won't get a second chance over there buddy.

Be present for yourself like you work to be for others in your life. It’s ok to take time for yourself & relax. Don’t feel bad for just laying still & doing nothing 🥂🍾🫶🏾

I'm not playing your freaky card game. We gon talk, get tested and ruin a room at the Westin like adults

Don’t you ever in yo muthafuckin life dim yo light for NOBODY

A personal favorite. The older I get, the more poignant it becomes...

Not Cross’s granny being bad ass too 🫨. Iktr!

Randomly I find myself singing “Pearlie’s pearls of wisdom” 😄. I used to watch this cartoon whether I was babysitting or not but it was a cute little learning show. Most people probably don’t even remember it.

1/ With more users joining Bluesky, we know how important it is to identify which accounts are real. Users deserve confidence that the accounts they interact with are authentic. Sharing some details about our impersonation policy 🧵

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Snow seems to be sticking SE Michigan ❄️☃️🌨️🫤

Have y’all not watched “Kiss the girls” or “Along came a spider”? I’m asking bc y’all been fussing abt “Cross” & how long-winded it feels. That’s how the character & storyline layers in, bc it’s a psychological thriller as well as a crime drama. Hell there’s more clues given than usual

Me again for 2025

I’ve been dealing with a lot lately but today I reflect on what I’m grateful for. I’m helping my granny (88) make her holiday dinner & she let me make her quiche! I appreciate every family member who has helped me, like I’m truly fortunate 🥹🫶🏾🥂🦃

I just had this conversation. I forget that in business it’s recommended to write at a 6th grade level because a lot of adults here read most comfortably at that level. Gotta use more penny & nickel words so folks don’t get confused 😬🫣

Yes, also one in my kitchen for the extended cabinets

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

Me: I cleared the table for dessert. Her: Why did you leave these cranberries out? Me: DON’T TOUCH THEM!!! Her: What…Why??? Me: You have to let them linger.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

I’ve figured out what I’m enjoying about this app…I’m not inundated with doom & gloom or arguing. It’s less anxiety driven over here. I still peak in on the hellscape but I’m finding myself scrolling here more than over there.
