just starting the new forsytes show and my first thought is that everyone is too hot

The fact that the court is even hearing this ridiculous, racist case is a disgrace. Every new breach defies credulity and yet.

I feel like I saw it coming as strange new worlds and then lower decks both got cancelled, but it still bums me out to see starfleet academy cancelled after such a promising first season - definitely the end of this era At least I’ll always have this glorious star trek sf library card 🫶🏾🖖🏾

the best character arc in downton abbey might be daisy’s awakening class consciousness

Bittersweet, but I do love seeing a show go out on a high note and on its own terms. Definitely relieved that season 6 wasn’t the last one, it really felt like the Miss Scarlet writers were hedging their bets.

We'd all be happier if we lived somewhere walkable (The Deep Space Nine space station)

this is what I’ve been saying every time someone complains about this - this slate of age verification laws getting passed all around the place are the true culprits. They’re not good and are not actually solving the problems people think they are.

It took me so long to realize that so many people listen to music lyrics first. I’m 100% music first, and then if I love the song maybe I’ll learn the words, but it’s totally optional for me. This is me at live concerts for most of each song

like the symbolism was so clear our ancestors slaved away in cane fields. he opened the show with cane fields and puerto ricans working the fields. even without understanding spanish surely folks can connect the dots.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

It’s all of our flags 😭😭😭😭

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

I’m not over that halftime show like from the opening with the cane fields, the casita, the guest performers, the imagery with the power lines, closing with the all those flags of the caribbean and latin america 100/10 no notes except I wanted it to be twice as long

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

and yet it feels like it’s barely making headlines, I only found out it was happening yesterday by talking to someone at the gym.

I don’t know where my fellow finding your roots nerds are but this season has been sooo good. I was so locked into Delroy Lindo’s story in the latest episode, it’s giving Black Cake but real life.

okay I finally watched the first two episodes of starfleet academy and it’s actually pretty delightful? loving the energy we’re getting from the combo of it being about cadets and it being about the academy restarting after the burn

finally, we're living through precedented times

god today was a bleak news day from beginning to end like desperately trying to cling on to christmas spirit but today has really been disheartening

waking up to see that melissa has strengthened even more and that she’s making landfall near where my grandmother and a lot of that side of my family lives was not on my bingo card

I hope those who like to indulge in the occasional Caribbean holiday locks it in. I hope you’re ready to move differently and direct your resources toward locally owned establishments. As Jamaica rebuilds, I hope you commit to avoiding resorts that hold their beaches hostage. Support the people.

my mom (in kingston) just lost electricity while I was talking to her, things are definitely heating up

melissa currently stronger than katrina stressed 😣

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

well that earthquake woke me up

so sad that only murders in the building is on THAT streaming service, season 4 has been so fun and also has a subplot of oligarchs being the new mafia and trying to control the narrative which feels eerily on theme

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

so glad I got the nudge I needed to cancel some more subscriptions

really ready to spend my weekend with some books, some outdoors time, the latest episode of gbbo very much need some cozy time not spent on my devices

not gonna feeling lie, that season finale of strange new worlds got me a little teary eyed 🥺

I can’t believe it’s finally happening, two of my faves colliding, lego and star trek 🥹🥹 youtu.be/C4gbBGp92RU?...

to see two of my faves go through to the quarterfinals on the same day, venus and naomi, both on their own come back journey, it’s giving me all the happy feels 🥹🥹

Star Trek SNW is intentionally a genre-jumping, tone-shifting, exploration of ideas. It’s okay to not like that, but it is definitely the whole point. So was TOS. Go watch Catspaw, Mirror Mirror, City on the Edge of Forever, and Squire of Gothos, then try to tell me SNW isn’t doing the same thing.

My only Cardi B take is that is she looking particularly…. Vulcan these days?

ever since I cleared out my credit card debt and it got reflected in my credit score, instagram has been advertising real estate to me in the oakland hills and luxury properties in jamaica and I just have to say the timing is suspicious 😒😒

10/10 no notes lmao

for the love of god can we not just build more housing? truly the dumbest timeline

truly such a lovely week in oaxaca and getting to spend time with Lex and all of their amazing humans they’ve attracted in life 💖💖

brains are so weird, because why did I want to say can I stop here in spanish, and my brain returned cerrar (close) instead of parar (stop) 😂🥲 but also the taxi driver got what I was trying to say so I guess a win is a win lol

honestly this I think is one of the single largest issues across the world and I don’t know what it will take for this to be actually addressed

Proof that people are having fun @kamilah.dev @christyprice.com @itsrobyall.bsky.social

The vibe is so high it’s unfair to other vibes @kamilah.dev

Hierve el Agua 📍Oaxaca, México @holapame.bsky.social @kamilah.dev @walkerking.bsky.social

very kind of lex to share that shot and not this one where I’m rethinking all of my life choices

wtf I have no words

Caught up with @kamilah.dev in the Castro over hot cookies and wine. We’ve known each other since we were 13 and 14 and we lived together in San Francisco once upon a time

this is a dark day

this is a really interesting thought that I’ll be musing on for a bit… it’s not the only way I think that having so many independent governments has held the area back - see also, transit

This is the flaw in always hammering in the concept of checks and balances as if there’s a guarantee that one branch of the US government will rein in rogue branches, when really all along this has relied on a system of norms that are not enforced.
