i was not happy.

baristas could apply an "asshole tax" to cheapskate or dickish customers... no one but me ever admitted to using it — bsky.app/profile/upfr...

i really try to avoid posting political stuff on weekends, especially on sundays, so "my bad" to self. there are so many folks out there with better grasps than me on the political & cultural landscapes - im just a hot-take poet. nothing but joyful shit from me for the next couple days, i swair!

🚫 ai! 🚫 nazis!! and especially 🚫 rodents!!! (rats, squirrels, cats, hamsters, etc)

without exception.

Although he's been gone almost 28 years, brother Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael is still teaching you just gotta listen

the level of hatred it takes to condone cruelty to children is a self-replicating evil condemning one's soul to total damnation (whether or not "hell" even actually exists)

I am, by all accounts, a coward, an overthinker, and a waffler, and I don’t think I’ve ever had greater moral clarity about anything ever in my life. ICE is so absolutely morally repugnant that there is no way to live wirh yourself if you do nothing.

One job of a properly functioning government is to keep the horrors of American policing far away from the lived reality of median white voters. Many can only support "tough on crime/illegals" in theory

##dreamjournal #dirtsdream 2 dreams. the first one really doesnt make sense: surreal dystopian shit. i was among a band of survivors searching for resources? or other people? we stumble across 3 giants whose gowns/clothing were cages/torture chambers for regular sized people... we wanted to end

Poem

im sick of police procedurals, but will watch the occasional detective show - & almost none if set in america... but the british detective series, ludwig, is pretty good and worth the watch. reminded me of old school columbo or monk. 4½ aights.

in the past 90 mins i done created art for a friend's bookcover, scrolled a hundred pages on tumblr, watched 2 eps of Mr. Loverman with Crys, put in a food order for bbq, been in 2 group chats, and got 2 outlines for poems floating through my head, while counting down to watch basketball in 25 mins

You’re supposed to lend what you can from who you are to the struggle. I do words so I’m lending words, not just online, but trying to get work out there that advances us. Everybody has to look from their skill set & find what it’s special for them to give.

Some of us didn't hop online in the 90s or the 2000s to get rich and famous, man. Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free! Baby, we grew up when it cost a zillion dollars to call long distance! We had pen pals at school!

yes, for the societal changes we need it'll take the solidarity emphasized in this video: a white-led decentering of whiteness. otherwise, its just same regime/kinder tone - & thats not the bandwagon for black folk: better to face the racist we can trust to be racist than disingenuous allies.

how can a 4 min video have more interest, intrigue, and character development than a 120 minute movie? björk ALL IS FULL OF LOVE youtu.be/9JE6rUwfckI?...

predator badlands begins as the klingon movie we've all wanted to see... but in the end, i self-revoke my yautja card.

video on what i call "joyride liberation" — too late; did not watch — *gonna come back to this after waking up: maybe i delete it, maybe i expand on the commentary / idk* youtu.be/HoLM5Q1yJ1w?...

has any scholar or historian detailed the relationship between rural land ownership and doomsday prepping? it just seems to go hand-in-hand... not that preppers cant or dont live in cities but it just seems like thats more the mindset of rural rubes owning tons of acreage.

crystal: im sorry, the rice is a little mushy. me: give me that stuff, that sweet, that mushy stuff... ...Yooooo-HO!

the audacity...

In a world drowning in grief and conflict, we crave what keeps us alive: joy—our daily bread; hope—our living water; kindness—the roof over our souls.

no. the colorization is cool, but the facial distortion is too much - i didnt recognize her at first. her squared jawline is one of her most defining features... this is totally disrespectful.

"Wanna be Damballa, 🎶 shot caller, 🎵 20-inch blades 🎵 on the Impala 🎶...."

you know what, new republic, these ARE closer to MY father's democrats than whatever passes as a democrat today because their progresses are exactly what this era of dems has allowed to be taken away: civil rights, gay rights, women's rights/abortion rights — elder dems fought for those.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

and now im thinking back to a former white coworker who told me of his brother's court case that day (a third strike with tons of jail time) before pulling out an envelope wuth $10,000 in it — "this is for the judge." *jaw droppeth*

discussing with crystal the dropped cases of 2 UK students charged with rape: she wondered aloud if they were black before saying their names and i was like "naaah, they white af. & rich." — this is a popular game within every black household of america.

my granddaughter is a living, breathing rube goldberg machine...

a granddaughter will be 10 soon and she has been the clumsiest child since birth — she's the only person i know who can sit still and still knock over a bottle of water, salt & pepper shakers, & table ornament all in one small motion. her gracelessness is a wonder to behold... a true work of art. ❤️

i dated a bi sista yrs ago & she asked if i would mind if she had a girlfriend & i was like "cool, i'll get an extra one too!" & she got so mad: "you knew i was bi!"; i said "im not denying that, but i did think you were monogamous. but if you want 2 partners then so do i." she was not amused.
