I’ve been reading “The Untethered Soul” and one of the chapters focuses on our inner roommate. That voice in our minds that sounds like us and narrates life for us. But what if life is not meant to be narrated and instead enjoyed?

Maybe we focus so much on the narration we don’t live the moment.

It’s snowing here in Chicago. I tried to take my dog for a walk and as soon as went got outside, she saw the snow, looked at it and ran right back in and straight under the covers. She non-verbally said “not today”. Same, Nina. Same.

Finalmente! 🇧🇷 Isso que deveria acontecer nos Estados Unidos também.

Finally! This is what should’ve happened in the United States too.
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro and several aides indicted on charges of attempting a coup in 2022, police say.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

What’s your favorite movie of all time? I’m looking for recommendations!

Reading this right now and it is a MASTERPIECE. I’m not done with the book yet and it is already my favorite dystopian novel.
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Reading “Parable of the Sower” for the first time. Octavia Butler has not only accurately predicted much of life today but the way her writing sucks you in is insaneeeeeeeee. I can’t put the book down (besides to skeet this.. we’re calling it skeet right?).

So y’all know how communion is like a cracker or bread that represents the body of Christ and wine or grape juice that represents the blood of Christ? What would represent your blood and body?
Mine would be All Dressed Pringles and Diet Coke.
