I am a proud African-American LGBTQ+ man. I am a writer, author, and poet. I am an Adult Services Librarian at Brooklyn Public Library. I am. I have a love for Blackness, literature, music, pop culture, film, television, soap operas, history, and Jeopardy!
I am still reading LINDEN HILLS by Gloria Naylor and am determined to finish it tonight.

I am in my Dorothy Zboniak era of curling up with a good book on a Saturday night.

I almost forgot about Linda Dano's beauty book.

I am stunned by the death of Diane Keaton.

I need to spend more time over here because that other app is not going to change for the better. I am taking care of business over there and once I am done, then I am shutting that down over there. I cannot deal with racists, MAGAs and Black self-haters who love Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day!

He is the only one I commemorate today.

Good Morning Everyone!

I am still reading BABY OF THE FAMILY by Tina McElroy Ansa.

This is the book I didn't know I needed.

I am glad I am reading it.

Lena McPherson is a little girl who was born with a caul. She has special powers.

Her older brother, Edward, has a stutter.

@michellevisage.bsky.social Hello Michelle! You may not remember me but my name is Donald. I used to email you when you and Brooklyn's Own Joe Corsi hosted the MIX Morning Show 20 years ago. I am a public librarian at Brooklyn Public Library now. Congratulations about Beyond The Gates, Michelle.

@zmheard08.bsky.social Hey Zakiyyah! Didn't you follow me on here already or is this the first time?

Beyond The Gates will premiere on February 24, 2025 at 2 PM on CBS. I cannot wait! I wish my Grandma Sally, my Aunt Rogina, and Miss Alberta were here to see history unfold #BeyondTheGates

Some people on the other platform are so used to drama, dysfunction, negativity and toxicity to the point they find Bluesky boring. It is not boring. It is new and refreshing. The world needs healing right now. The same ones will be over here soon once the other platform shows their butts to kiss.

Bluesky is a breath of fresh air. I am happy about setting up a new beginning, chapter, day, and start here. I am glad we can write our posts with 300 characters. Like Becky Buckwild told New York on Flavor of Love years ago, I likes this!
