Wanda Sykes has a new special on Netflix (Wanda Sykes: Legacy) performing at Hampton University, her alma mater. She's hilarious, endearing and she addresses what's going on now in a way that can actually hold up a mirror *and* make us laugh... and who doesn't need some laughter right about now?

I'm a Bsky slacker. I admit it. I'm going to try harder though. I know this post is lame but hey, at least it's a post!

February is Black History Month. Let's shed light on some unknown innovators before our current government tries to do away with even more history... Emiline King is now 67 and in 2021 she wrote her autobiography entitled "What Do You Mean A Black Girl Can't Design?"

Proud to call Seattle home. Please note this apparently happened a few years ago with a Greyhound bus driver in Seattle. I am posting it now because it is very pertinent today.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the bullsh*t happening politically right now. Heard a bit of advice from @dailybeanspod.bsky.social Pick a federal program you are attuned to and go all out to protect it! learn as much as you can and share information! Follow, listen, share grassroots journalism. RESIST ✊🏼

This makes me ridiculously happy

Optimism feels more difficult since January 20, but I won't give mine up. RESIST! ​haiku for Sunday (by me, an optimistic dork) hello dear Sunday I am happy to greet you bring merriment here (please note, this is a multi-purpose haiku and can be adjusted for any day of the week you wish. Handy!)

Bishop Mariann Budde spoke truth to power and upset MAGA. Good. "If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful toward the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ" - Rev. Benjamin Cremer

Caitlyn Jenner gushes her admiration for Trump but as of yesterday, she is once again "Bruce" according to Trump and US law. From the executive order: "Sec. 2. Policy and Definitions. It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable..."

Biden commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier who can go home after nearly 50 years in prison, accused of killing 2 FBI agents at the Pine Ridge Reservation shoot out in 1975. Peltier has long been thought to be a political prisoner wrongly convicted due to evidence whithheld by the government.

It would be fun to open up a nightclub for people my age... it could be called 'Get Off My Lawn!' and the theme would be lawn chairs and umbrellas. Music would be played at a volume somewhere between "it's too loud" and "I can't hear it". Drink specialty? The V & P (vodka and prune juice!)

possible New Year Resolution?
