Hello all. I am a lady identified person, quite fond of books, my family (blood kin and chosen), cleverness, craftiness, cusswords, true kindness and those who value the same.
On the bird site I operated under my oldest online handle, Imaget.
May the skies here never darken as they did there.

There's someone promoting Roald Dahl's adult horror work. It brought up all my rage about his bigotry ruining my childhood favorite stories.
Charlie taught me honesty and humility.
Matilda was a childhood best friend.
I always wanted a witches' purple eyes.
Dahl taught me adults are awful.

Follow the quoted thread all the way down to the little girl who saw through all the things between her & space & said, "Eh, no biggie."
I aim to be like her today.
May all that stands between her & all her best dreams crumble.

I watched reruns of #StarTrek as a little Black girl in the 70s. I wanted to be like Uhura/Nichelle Nichols when I grew up (but a lawyer, not an astronaut😂). Mae Jemison & I are both Cornelians and President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) alums. I hope I get to meet her someday! #BlackSky #LLAP 🖖🏾

I want everyone to post their hometown slop (if you don't have a cuisine that qualifies then your town has zero culture).
This is the sandwich that I want when l return to the DSM. Usually from Bebops double drive through on the way home from the airport.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Trying not to take it as punishment for the unkind thoughts I just had about the liar in chief.

I just had to walk a half a block out of my way to exit Union Station, & the rage that has filled my spirit as a result...
That child molesting monster who is destroying this city is doing Lord knows what to my favorite architecture in the city. May I live to see him shamed and justice triumphant.

There are some musicians that qualify as a musicians' favorite musician. Jacob Collier is one such musician. Watching recordings of his concerts and the way pulls from the audience to make joyful walls of sound... It's beautiful, but I could never.

Did I just fall down a tiny rabbit hole to finally educate myself on the difference between the definitions of a Blep and a Mlem? Yes.
Did I like the answer and am I now considering disregarding all evidence contrary to the way I used the onomatopoeia heretofore?
Also, yes.

Why is The Diplomat so absofreakinglutely good? And at the same time too short?
I told myself I was going to slowly parse out this season, cause Lord knows when/if next season will come. Next thing I know I'm two episodes down on the first day.
