Would love to know how in the clouds you have to be to create this. This took TIME. Absolute cinema.

Happy August 5 to all who celebrate.

Happy birthday to Bull City legend, Ernie Barnes. In addition to the Sugar Shack, my parents have this one: High Aspirations. One of my faves.

Albums later, and it will FOREVER be Eve for me. Did Rapsody know how hard this was gonna hit when she finished it? She had to. My GOD, this album. And fwiw, I’ll continue to scream THE GRAMMYS ROBBED HER WITH NO NOMINATION.

I'm writing about bell hooks currently. Not in the way anyone would think. But a great time to plug one of her works.

Steyer should've never been considered serious after this bs in 2020.

Yesterday, my mama handed me three pages of images that my surgeon gave her that showed my torn rotator cuff, loose bicep, and bone spur that she fixed. What was most impressive were the drawings on the back of one page. This is so easy to follow, yet thorough. Science for the win!

Three drawings of normal shoulder, pre-surgery with torn rotator cuff, loose bicep, and one bone spur, and post-surgery repairs. Sketched created by surgeon to explain process.

One of the things I love about this show is Kevin Carroll's range. My guy went from Calvin's punk ass in Paid in Full to Franklin's flawed-but-voice-of-reason dad Alton in Snowfall, to Bechir sick-of-everybody-and their-shit Clemmons in Widow's Bay. RANGE!

Kevin carroll playing sheriff bechir in the tv show widow's bay. He is wearing a short sleeve, brown sheriff uniform while holding his hat. He is a Black man with a mustache and beard.

Picture it: NYC, 2021 I got us tickets to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert the day we landed, and the first night of previews for Clyde's on Broadway, starring Uzo Aduba, Ron Cephas Jones (RIP), and Kara Young (of Is God Is) in her Broadway debut.

Can't even remember where I got these (I have two here and one in my office). But what a great reminder of all the women of color at NASA who made it possible for the moon joy we are still riding high on. I need to get these framed. #NASA #ArtemisII #WomenOfColor

First weekend of Black Farmers Market in Durham, and Queen Muva and I went SPECIFICALLY looking for the honey man. I bought the vanilla bean from him last May and I was SICK that he never returned last summer. His folks were selling for him today, and I grabbed two. It's almost summer, y'all!

Two jars of honey with name Beehive Yourself on labels. One jar is vanilla bean and the other is ginger infused raw honey.

Fab Five on the Michigan game is 🤌🏾. Everyone's personality shines. We got an I'm Gonna Git You Sucka reference, jonin', shout out to the Blacksonian, SC women, and BIG DAWN! Also, they look GOOD! SO good seeing Webber smiling, laughing, and having a great time with his guys. AGAIN Monday! #FinalFour

Trick Daddy and Alpha Kappa Alpha never belong in the same sentence, let alone room. Never. This dragging is embarrassingly well-deserved. Could've called Cupid or 803Fresh and all we would see right now are a ton of attendees line dancing and strolling while having a time. *deep sigh*

I’ve been watching Nurse Emma from The Pitt all season and trying to figure out who she reminds me of. I could never put my finger on it. Watching Sportscenter right now, and it finally hit me. Y’all, hear me out. It’s Azzi.

This acct on 🧵that originally posted bc Crockett lost, "Black people shouldn't vote in November. I stand with the 92%." Black folks en masse called out this acct (created Jan 2026) as a bot/opp. To be clear, no one claiming to "stand with the 92%" would ever tell Black women esp to not vote

Threads post from fuckyouagency with tag Texas Senate Race that reads: My point is Americans keep throwing the overqualified Black woman under the bus for the underqualified white man. I stand with the 92%.

The prior post they made (which this is in reference to) is no longer available, which stated because Crockett lost "Black people should not vote in November elections. I stand with the 92%."

This person was deservingly critiqued for a myriad of reasons, including feigning support of Black people while urging Black people not to vote.
