The way my mom puts the Black American “s” at the end of everything that didn’t ask for it, but calls Netflix “NET-Flick” is fascinating.

My vote is for Kim, Lauryn or Doechii but I’m flexible. Just thinking of whose voice and pen would be most complementary

I’m enjoying this new Clipse so much, I can’t help but to consider the potential impact of hearing a woman rapper featured on such a high quality, high profile return album as Let God Sort Em Out. If you could add one woman to this list of rap features who would you choose?

This Di**y verdict is another opportunity to exercise your “mute” “block” “hide” “unfollow” and “unfriend” buttons and boundaries. Don’t be afraid to do so, some of the post trial takes are as wild as what we learned during the trial.

Do you find it suspicious that Amanda Seales wears extensions but never wears boho braids? Like… she wears all kinds of Black girl braids and twists. But not the boho braids that match her hair texture. I find it very suspicious.

My current therapist is a 60+ Black woman from Harlem and I cannot emphasize enough how healing that’s been. Finding a Black therapist who also speaks Bronx/Harlem-fuck-is-you-talking-about (or whatever your regional/cultural mother tongue is) is wild helpful.

Still thinking about how some early reviews of Sinners mentioned a lack of world building for the vampires, when in reality most people know more about fictional vampires than the real life 1930’s Mississippi Delta and its people - for which Coogler builds a whole universe #Sinners

Some of your Sinners takes are revealing how ya’ll feel about spirit. Not religion, but your spirit and the spirits of others, and it’s scaring me.

There’s a new #Sinners review in your podcast feed 🤎 pod.link/841142610/ep...

I block people who post spoilers, even if I saw the film already. Today it’s Sinners tomorrow it’ll be something else the director intended me to enjoy spoiler free.

#SINNERS *spoiler full* REVIEW is up on Patreon 🤎 www.patreon.com/posts/sinner...

*calls office in the Bronx* Me: Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me about my… Office stranger: omg, ya killing me. Yo, how you don’t know your *blah blah* Me: *laughs in Bronx* Yo, it’s been a lot Office stranger: ok, give me your number and I’ll call you back. I’m in good hands.

Where does DMX sit in the pantheon of horrorcore? I will accept “in there” as an answer.

Why isn’t Oliver a bug-person or a person-bug? #Invincible

We gotta get back to treating Donda’s son like the elders did. “Oh, that’s Donda’s son, we don’t pay that boy no mind.” I keep seeing Black people share Donda’s son’s bullshit, and you’re kinda the problem in this situation. We know not to pay that boy no mind. Don’t forsake what you know.

I feel like the BET Awards are gonna have to come through with an epic Quincy tribute. They’ve been nice so far but I need a 15 - 20 minute musical adventure.

I'm so overwhelmed by the outpour of support I've received! Thanks so much for the kind words, shares & donations. I'm almost halfway to my goal. I've paid towards back bills including rent. I still have a ways to go but I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Please continue to share & donate🙏🏾💖

It's taken me a long time to post this. As a person that's known for helping others and promoting community care, it was hard to say I needed help too. I've been looking for regular work for over a year. I primarily work freelance, but am not making enough to make ends meet... gofund.me/ec2e2c31

I’m mostly joking but, the wealth of varied takes amongst Black folks are reflective of our varied intersections and perspectives - and an example of why coalition building is important. Bc what are yall talking about? 😂

These post half-time takes are wild. We’re cooked!

W*sley Morris referencing the “Black on Black angle” of the Kendrick/Drake beef during his post half-time spot on CBS Mornings was a choice.

We need a version with Kendrick on it lol

My blue-skyline hasn’t realized that I only want to see Kendrick content for at least the next 6 hours and I hate that.

I’m not super familiar with Pamela Paul and I like that about me, but this article by Andrea Long-Chu is a great case study of the far center and folks whose entire politic is “I’m all for *insert freedom* but I’m pretty free so it can’t be that serious.”

This makes sense in terms of style evolving as years pass, but more importantly WHAT FUN STYLE CHOICES ARE WE GETTING INSTEAD!!!!?????? (Don’t spoil it for me but like, please have them)

I know a lot of ppl were upset by Bianca’s nudity on the red carpet, but I will NEVER get over seeing Kanye’s naked m*ga fanny on that boat in Italy. Never.

$100.

This is big RoboCop, big Demolition Man energy.

I’m not saying the Desus & Mero split had a hand in getting Trump elected, but I feel like somebody should say it.

I’m going to come back to this after my album drops and we gon’ discuss this right here in particular because SOME of y’all have yourselves fucked up thinking you have to go through life “alone” when you’re really saying “life without romance”. Love can come from your community. Whew, work. To. Do.

URGENT: Here’s a list of campaigns to support Black families displaced by the LA fires. Bit.ly/rebuildAD h/t: @ykreborn.bsky.social

[Paper dragon room] I want to draw more dragons this year, so the first painting of the year has to start off strong

Mom: What’s that? Teen: My friend drew on my hand Me: Fun, lemme see Teen: NO! Me: Why not? What is it a d*ck or something? Teen: AUNTIE! Me: What? It’s prolly a d*ck or something vulgar since you hiding It was a d*ck.

10 yo Nephew: Are you listening to a podcast? Me: Yeah Him: Shouldn’t you be doing your podcast job??????

Also that lil squiggly curl. Grab your freaking popcorn, what’s not to love? #Superman

There’s a dog in this trailer, and a can bounces off of Superman’s head like a rubber ball. I’m in.

Back on my comic editing services! Who needs one? 👀

I contemplate relationship dynamics a lot, including interracial dynamics. Whenever I have seen Nikki Giovanni’s partner on camera she is being of service. Pushing Toni Morrison’s wheelchair, wiping Nikki’s face to keep her looking and feeling well 1/2

Love these connecty braids Doechii and the dancers were moving through on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social 🤎 I need the bts rehearsal footage

Joke's on you, Shakespeare. I'm discontented every season.

I dreamt I was at a mega beauty supply looking for multiple colors of a particular wig, but the staff kept bringing me wigs I didn’t ask for in colors I did not want. My own wig was also a mess. It was a nightmare.

Ok but do yall think James and Fuhad are somewhere dying a lil rn? Bc I would die. You gotta read that like Jack from Will and Grace bc I WOULD DIE!

Moms, what do ya’ll do when *YOU* forget to take the meat out the freezer? I’ve had too much therapy to still blame the child but not enough to accept that this is my fault. Thx in advance.
