I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

I am contemplating First Lady Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend the Inauguration and also my favorite roadmap to refusal! We can walk away, leave, protect ourselves. All ingredients of refusal. #WeRefuse Thank you @kcarterjackson.bsky.social #IndigenousSolidarity

Most religions are hard to inhabit fully in everyday life, let alone for leaders. There's a faintly sniggering tone around any designation of a famous ruler as "the Pious". But when a person pulls that combination, it's a precious achievement for the ages. Ave atque vale, Jimmy Carter.

It just so happens that I wrote this piece tonight before learning of President Carter’s passing. It contains some essential history about Carter’s loss to Ronald Reagan in 1980. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Illinois has put an end to the injustice of cash bail. And it’s working better than anyone expected.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.

On this day of lore, let us embrace the purported and timeless lesson: show kindness to all—neighbors near and far, those native to this land and those who journeyed here. Open your homes & hearts, and make room at your table for them.

Next up.

Chapter 1- His maternal grandfather, Vincenzo Giovanni Gerardi immigrates (illegally) from an old Sicilian town, ironically named Corleone, & navigates to a six-story tenement in the South Bronx.

It’s going to take discipline not to jump ahead to the Heat diner scene filming backstory.
