My Christmas tree - which is usually up by the time I hear the first Bonnie M song in early November but this year I moved and it only went up after unpacking and arranging the whole house - is up!
Clap for me! 🤗

If anybody had told me that as the world fell apart around us the thing that would make me happier than pink in a rainbow would be TV shows about hotsadbatshitcrazy white men doing stuff...

... I'd say "sounds about right" 🥰

My brain hasn't wrinkled this hard since... I don't even know. My only quibble is this could've been 6-7 episodes instead of 9. Cuz the red herrings went rainbow at some point.
Excellent 🎯

I'm ready to purge this rainy season. Books I've put off for years, in 2025 I fini ready.

The world is in the toilet. Let the pouring tears and teeth gnashing begin.

I finally made time and started watching Shōgun. Excellent viewing! Maaan white pipo never beating the allegations, the eau de coloniale is top notch 🤣

Today, my chaotic opinion is that writers should get a free $1000 every year. To keep the "real books made by real humans" concept alive & AI off our backs a little longer.

Keep human writing alive! 💚📚💸📖💰🗞💵✍️🏽

My votes for location:
*Nigeria
*Ghana
*Kenya
In that order. This show needs some real chaos, African style.

Mwehn o (good morning), Womble! Rainy season is starting in Liberia and I'm pairing it with some deep reads: JAMES, THE VANISHING HALF & THE MARRIAGE PORTRAIT. Lightening it up with MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES

Good morning and America's gonna lose this trade tiff with China so bad becuz remember when we were kids and everybody used to laugh at "fongkong" goods then China (the whole Asia really) went quiet for like 20yrs and when they opened up they FLOODED the world with superior everything?

Don't fuck with Laura Lippman. Don't fuck with Megan Abbott. Or Tana French. Or Liz Moore. Don't mess with my White Girls In Crime if you can't do justice to their work. I was underwhelmed by Lady in the Lake, it felt forced. Now I've seen 2episodes of Long Bright River and what?? Nah mehn.

Women own every month. This month, this year, I want to be enthralled and in pain. Stabbing myself over and over with writing so good by authors so talented in their portrayals of lives so rich and desperate and triumphant that it's madness.

I'm sobbing and having the time of my life. 🌻💛🔥

What does a mom do when she's home sick from work? Runs a movie marathon of everything she's missed before her kid gets home from school 🤸🏽‍♀️💃🏽.

To start, the absolute WTFukkedy of 'Saltburn'! I was howling throughout 😆😫😭

Next up, the brilliance of 'Conclave'.

Bless Former President Jimmy Carter for living to the ripe old age of 100. Of being a rare breed of compassionate statesman and ally to the Africa in times when it wasn't popular. And passing away when Biden can give him the send-off he's worthy of, not Trump.

Everybody to me: Omg I know you're over superhero backstories but watch 'The Penguin'. Colin Farrell is excellent!

Me watching, looking for Colin Farrell: Huh? He's not even in this. Or is he a celebrity cameo? Did he die already in a gunfight?

*goes to Google*
Unholy hell 🤯

Prezzies I got for Christmas:
*handmade Liberian quilt (increasingly rare cuz the craftwomanship is a dying art)
*portable fan
*mini planters for herbs
*African boubous & Bluetooth speaker (gifts to myself)

What did you guys get? 🎁🎄🎀🎅🏾
December 26, 2024 at 9:14 AM
These 2 beauties. My twin brothers bought the portable fan, a lifesaver here especially when the next 5 months will be sweltering. The Bluetooth speaker I bought myself, amazing looks & sound quality. (Art book on Cezanne mine already)
