Let’s be honest here, I’m just posting ramblings, but if you’re lucky, you might see pics of my cat, food, fiber art.

If you want to follow me, fine, but don’t get mad when we get lost.

Is it my age because I heard cordyceps lol then realized it was quarter zips.

I legit was like, they’re putting mushrooms in the matcha now? (Which isn’t too crazy considering the ‘shrooms craze going on)
So, my pal @jinxungoh.bsky.social sent me a vid earlier abt the quarter-zip trend taking hold among young Black men on TikTok & across Gen Z more generally.

Of course, I have a few quick thoughts (for whatever they're worth).

A brief thread. First, here's the TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@whois.jason...

We are in the times of, (white people) have more babies, but also, let's make it so that those babies are at risk for childhood diseases we got rid of years ago.

so it's a gamble again and women will be forced to have 14 babies because who knows if they'll survive, and men need their "legacy."
As Canada loses measles elimination status…there’s a lot we might learn about public health approaches from other parts of the world. African countries are doing some things well. Public health leaders & politicians really threw us into Victorian-ass times over here

Naw, fts

I want and deserve gifts

I deserve to give gifts to whomever I want to give them to

my friends deserve gifts, family too

the rest of y'all can kick rocks this holiday season
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

I can just see the ads now:

Meta an NYC "retail space today, a 5,000-square-foot concept space at 697 Fifth Avenue. The pop-up, called Meta Lab, wants to be less “store” and more of a show-and-tell for Meta’s products, a hands-on playground for every wearable, headset and sci-fi-adjacent gadget coming from Reality Labs."

I love this idea!

even as a photographer, I don't take shoot myself.

my first photo taken by someone else that I loved was by a Black photographer who did free shots at an event I went to for artists back years ago and that's my best photo

I have another fave also taken by someone else.
"If you are a professional, you need to get professional photos done."

My avatar? It was done on an old Samsung Galaxy A20 phone. Actually, most of my photos were taken on old ass phones. All you need is a tripod, a remote bluetooth shutter, and a phone.

no more blue no matter who

we need people of substance, with grit, and the will to fight

otherwise, just combine the two parties and make the color purple and be done with it
We watched MAGA invite racists, neo nazis, pedophiles, criminals, trolls and outright traitors into the GOP because they value power over all else

If we do the same, we are just as lawless-and our country will be destroyed

Yes-the Democratic party has a big tent

But even tents have boundaries
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

We got Neneh Cherry with Buffalo Stance and that means, I gotta get up, dance a little, and clean up that project so I can get on with my day.

When a Black person starts out with this, you put down whatever it is you're doing, you tell others to hush/give you a minute, and you lock in.
Baby let me tell you something….

This is a great idea! I should try to implement something similar to help me focus.

Let me bookmark this for the future.
3. I created a new Focus mode and scheduled it to appear from the time my alarm goes off until 9 AM on my gym days. It also does not show any notification badges, nor allow any notifications except from members of my family.
