TANK THE RATINGS

Did you know?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Great message. www.youtube.com/live/AXaCEYr...

The only effective way to protest is to stop bankrolling the fascism.

Because things are better when you have a bingo card.

America is living in it's own Black Mirror episode. Too bad so many people will fail to catch the plot.

It's snowing here in GA. My weekend plans include drinking lots of tea, reading, and playing video games. My may even nap.

Reevaluating my money spend in 2025. Recently cancelled Kindle Unlimited. Not planning to renew my Amazon Prime in a few months. A few other services are on the chopping block. I've been overpaying these people way too long. #lowbuy #nobuy

On another note, I have 4 Orange Theory classes left between now and Thursday. So I guess I got to double down this weekend and hit the gym on both Sat & Sun. Holiday traveling got me behind, but I'm going to put energy into being productive.

It should be concerning. When politicians demonize and pit American against American, MSM factionalized every issue as a game of us vs them. Gun violence is unavoidable and normalized. When kids get shot we can at least virtual signal T&P. Now we celebrate death. This world is broken y'all.

Was out of the country for Thanksgiving so I didn't know we were boycotting Walmart. I generally avg about 2 visits a year. So you telling me to never step into a Walmart again. Ok bet.

So one of my favorite things in 2024 was joining a SciFi/Fantasy bookclub.

Unfortunately, we're ending the year on a dud, Ministry for the Future. Not a bad book by any means, it's just not a book for me at this time. I'm yearning for total escapism.

So going to DNF, and cont 3 Body Problem.

So Orange Theory kicked my butt tonight. I'm looking forward to hitting my bed.

But I wanted to share this amazing interview from Maria Ressa regarding social media degradation of facts. And I will def pick up her book soon.

First post here! Here's to me being hopeful and as optimistically engaged on bluesky as my younger years on that other site.

Now to find the geeks.
