Went up to Woodstock for the weekend and found all of these absolute classics in bins at the FLEA MARKET. Oh, and they're all originals. Music towns, man 🙌🏽

Me, watching the Doomsday trailer: ugh, whatever, I feel nothing, I'm so done with Marvel movies. Me, seeing Ryan Coogler on stage at SDCC in front of a logo for Black Panther III:

Passage from Wikipedia that says that while some people claim the term "redneck" originated in thr 1920s, that is false.

Getting this shark sightings alert sandwiched between heat wave and air quality alerts is giving real End Times, NYC. Please, enough 😩

Text from the NotifyNYC alert system that says there were multiple shark sightings at Rockaway Beach

I cannot stop watching this clip of Mr. Met not reading the room (or, perhaps, reading it perfectly) and dancing his ass off behind Gelbs as he talks about Mendy's firing 😅 The #Mets may be miserable to watch, but you have to admit they still provide a lot of genuinely hilarious content. #MetsSky

If you're in NYC and looking for something amazing to do this weekend, get to the Joyce Theater to see the Step Afrika! performance on the Great Migration before it ends Sunday. I went to the Juneteenth performance and it was beautiful. 🙌🏽

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. (I really had stoner humor even as a child)

Trying so hard not to have a parasocial obsession with my mayor but I am currently failing. Just elite levels of shade happening in #Mamdanistan 😂😂

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I think they'd find me...eventually?

Tried watching The Long Walk and had to shut it off halfway through. How are we still doing magical negro tropes in 2025? Like, it's so bad it's distracting.

I haven't listened to News Hour in months so I'm just gonna say Boom! Lawyered was my #1 podcast of the year (it already was in my heart). Thanks for giving me some sanity in a year that was absolutely bonkers. @rewirenewsgroup.com @hegemommy.bsky.social @angryblacklady.blacksky.app

Still on a high from last night's @resistanceschool.bsky.social panel at Busboys and Poets in DC. And whoever said don't meet your heroes would take it back if they met @karenattiah.bsky.social because she's dope as hell. What a joy it was to be in her presence. #WeMove 🙌🏽

Last class of @resistanceschool.bsky.social Race, Media, and International Affairs 102 today and the finale was SO good. If the phrase "meeting the moment" was a person, it would be Prof @karenattiah.bsky.social. What an absolute force she is.🔥 Forever grateful to have been part of this. #WeMove
