May she rest in peace and power in the ancestral realm. Ase-O *rings bell 🔔 *

we're talking general hospital levels of script writing.

Why, yes. Yes, I do.

a big part of the issue surrounding the use of chatgpt/LLMs in academic research comes down to process vs. product. a lot of us know that the process of doing research matters because that's where intellectual work is done; but some "academics" and lots of techies only care about a fast product

Are there any US lawmakers fighting to protect the rights of Black/African immigrants that I/we can support? Because oof- what a dismal way to end the year/start 2026 and I've heard not a peep from any of our representatives: abcnews.go.com/Internationa... #Blacksky

Those who have studied precision medicine before the AI boom warned folks about it It's because the information we're pulling from for the algorithms is racist. Like... been talking about this since 2010....

Fam heads up on a call for submissions: please share with a Black Horror writer who you know would eat this up. Look at that dream editing duo: @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and @chesyaburke.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥 Deadline January 14th, 2026...! blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

I really want to tell news organizations not to feed such sensitive information contained in the Epstein files into ChatGPT. That's further harming folks by feeding sensitive information into a plagiarism/privacy violation machine. You shouldn't have to do that to search these documents.

This week, we learned 21 states are eager to dismantle your First Amendment Rights. It should be bigger news. Here's the story, and here's what you can be doing about it. These are YOUR RIGHTS that the states want to steal from you. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

It's also never driven by anyone who studies higher ed so it's always "I applied to some jobs and sat on 2 committees and I know everything" but the media never let's a sad White man down

Important!

Sounding like a choir!!! >>>>

We've been talking more about community and accountability. We've been talking more about family dynamics and what is love. Jupiter in Cancer is amplifying this. In our new episode of Astro en Negro/Astro in Black we dive deeper. Take a listen @lyszflo.bsky.social youtu.be/Ac2-czXPXj4?...

I see a lot of people talk about going more analog and the return to the physical. Did you know that there is an astrological transit that says this? @lyszflo.bsky.social & I talk about this on our podcast. It's wherever you get your podcast but here's the YouTube link youtu.be/RWNBizDvfoo?...

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

What I look like letting Donald Trump's lineage outlive mine?! Yall not living out of spite enough for me baby! Not doing ancestral veneration enough for me or you'd be on the same type of time. You can mentor, adopt, foster, and/or having babies, etc. to continue lineage. Pick your lane & do!

I would like to remind everyone this goes back to underfunding public health on all levels.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.

The myth that white men are victims of systematic discrimination has been central to the white supremacy since so-called “redeemers” claimed white men would be disenfranchised if Black folks voted. The revival of this claim in the mainstream is indeed a bad sign of where things are headed.

Dang. Should I finally start Lucifer? 🤔

*supernatural dvds* Because I'm tired of yall playing with me

It wouldn't let me go to the next episode. Supernatural is really gone off of Netflix. 😭

No. Y'all, I'm going to say this as firmly as I can. How are you protecting Black press by feeding into a plagiarism machine propped up by people seeking to erase our communities? Why would you feed a machine killing our environment and making us sick? Our ancestors would weep at your betrayal.

Ever year I try to dodge the how many books did you read fake controversy talks but it always shows up. Who brings it up every year?!?! Like... Just read your books and show us your top ones. That's all we ask every year

This is hilarious because Dylan also reads and writes (allegedly; iykyk). A deeply unserious man 🤣

A comic book artist and a sculptor decide to share custody of a shelter dog. Romance happens! (they do it) A Walk in the Park is available now in ebook and audiobook! rebekahweatherspoon.... 💗 two plus size MCs 💗 forced proximity 💗 a sweet doggy #booksky #romancelandia #blacksky

Also currently sad because today is the last day to watch Supernatural on Netflix. I'm on S3 E7. Starter a rewatch to finally finish it but now 😭

I'm so bad at advertising my services. I wonder if it's me being tired or me doing this for a long time or... idk!

Took a Sources in Policy Failure class for my public policy doctorate. Enjoyed the readings from this book. Talks about decision making. Not necessarily theory but can be a supplement.

1. Yes; the more you are infected, the more likely you are to get infected again. 2. Yes; it's most likely a different strain. It is still mutating and getting smarter.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Pauline Copes Johnson, a descendant of Harriet Tubman, has died at 98. She spent a lifetime guarding that legacy from the small city where Tubman spent her final years www.kolumnmagazine.com/2025/12/11/t...

Can't wait for this one!

I did this event in Detroit with Jason Reynolds. Had a really good time. That’s always nice. It’s also nice when Orlando is your interlocutor. He gets me to say things like this

I'm thinking about getting Letterboxd as I get back into TV and shows

Based on true events, THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED is a contemporary gothic horror set in a cursed manor on a coconut plantation—it’s got ghosts and witches and creepy crawlies and demons, plus a sexy gravedigging scene—and it’s out now More info ⬇️

Okay but this is cool.

And we cannot move towards abolition without this conversation because: The cultural hatred for Black and Brown teens, particularly those who are queer and/or disabled shapes ALL of our discourse on crime.

I watched the knew Knives Out last night and enjoyed it. Still solid storytelling and acting

I haven't read a lick and really need to

Exactly this

Something about this Brown University shooting doesn't give this was/is a student too me. I'm truly flabbergasted

It’s the holidays, so please buy my book. It’s a great gift for anyone who’s ever thought about destroying their student loan company, and it weighs enough to throw at your relatives who say shit like “but in 1972, college only cost a quarter!” www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pa...

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

The Temptations is on Tubi?!?!

Yes you are tired. Yes you are worn out. Yes you would rather not. But who is honored when we shirk our responsibilities? What kind of life can we expect to build if we cannot be counted on to honor the promises we make to ourselves?
