Hi! I'm here! Every time I join a new thing, it's like, "Who do I follow: the hotties or the smarties?"

If you're smart and hot, come find me!

Uh... What?! Yeah, I'd say 11 months preggo is pretty far along.

I love a good first line...

I'm reading 3 books right now. Do I choose all of them or...

I've just started reading this book and already the opening pages have been suffused with so much emotional, quirky meaning that makes me think of myself and my life and my choices.

Am I ready to be this introspective?

It occurs to me that I might be morphing into a gym rat. I cleared 3 hours in the gym today. I swear I never planned to do alla that.

The main thing is that it didn't occur to anyone to have water at arms reach at all times because we drank tap water.

Like, the schools had water fountains and classroom telephones. There were some things we didn't need.
Millennials at last have their own "we walked to school in the snow/we drank from the garden hose" style meme.

I've been reading this memoir for a several months. I start the book, get really angry, then stop. I am determined to finish it. It's just hard to stomach what I'm reading.

This standoff has been going all day, and it's hilarious.

I made myself very brave and scrolled through this thread, and as I did, I felt a scream rise in the back of my throat, threatening to escape.

Then I showed my son, and he said, "Are those WORMS?!"

Yes, son. They are worms.

Dahl is a complicated author to like, but one thing he did was show show the horror of childhood.

Matilda is psychological thriller/horror for children. Matilda walked so that Coraline could run.
The way Black millennials love ‘Matilda’ should be studied. We don’t play about our girl.

I think I need to get wine drunk on a rooftop or a patio somewhere with someone who makes me laugh a lot.

Yeah. That would fix me.

Whaaaat...?

Seems fitting for 2025...

Holy Ghost.

Someone else mentioned all Coogler movies today, and I could be down with a BBQ and Black Cinema Day.
Happy go to a BBQ & watch Will Smith save the world day! Enjoy time off (if you have it. hope you have it!) & a nice long weekend. The enslaved weren’t free on July 4th, but I’m free-ish now, so I’ll watch some fireworks & burn some hot dogs. Now that’s what I call a close encounter #BlackSky 🤎🎆🙏🏾🎇✊🏾🎉

Juneteenth Redux. Anything but the fourth
July 4, 2025 at 12:57 PM
I wanna see this so bad.
July 4, 2025 at 12:37 PM
And another one

Here goes another one! Lol
Happy Juneteenth Remembrance Day!✊🏾❤️💚🖤

Again I'll say:
We need to talk about how Love Jones launched a generation of Black creatives and bohems. This movie was aspirational for so many Black people and no one talks about it.
Most Definitely. “Love Jones” (1997) (the movie and the soundtrack album combined) almost single handedly motivated me to move to Chicago in my 20s in the late 90s. I wanted this lifestyle, wardrobe, love affair, friend group, the entire aesthetic, all set to this amazing neo soul sound 🤎🎶🙏🏾🎶✊🏾

Anything except the fourth! Lol. What else are y'all branding today with?
Happy Black People BBQ Day!

I *might* consider getting a cat if he's a funny little guy and a stone cold killer who likes to cuddle when I feel like it.

Don't tell my bff.

I use #whatireadtoday to share what I like and why.

ALWAYS share what you're reading. What you're listening to.
I've bought three books today just from 'overhearing' Bluesky conversations.

Point being, if you like a thing, help the creator by talking about it.

You ever have a day where it seems like everything that happens and comes up has a similar theme?

And if you're not online, you can't blame it on the algorithm.

It occurred to me long ago that anguish can send me into a flow state. I cry in prose. I warned myself against it because I didn't like the Pavlovian response of my creativity called forth by my acute pain. Yet, here we are.
