#SINNERS was incredible. Made me laugh, jump, swoon, and cry. #RyanCoogler is a genius and gave us not just one but two of #MichaelBJordan?! 🤌 the score & whole cast were incredible and seeing #WunmiMosaku in it, wow! Made me think of #LovecraftCountry on HBO, which ended so shamefully prematurely!

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Sen. Booker just quoted the Langston Hughes poem "Let America Be America Again"

"America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath—
America will be!"

"It is we ourselves who must answer the questions that life asks of us, and to these questions we can respond only by being responsible for our existence."

#ViktorFrankl #MansSearchForMeaning #Fable #BookSky
We had to learn ourselves and, furthermore, we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather, what life expected from us. It is we ourselves who must answer the questions that life asks of us, and to these questions we can respond only by being responsible for our existence. The salvation of man is through love and in love. Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.

AOC: Mayor Adams.. the only permissible way to refuse to answer a question during a congressional proceeding is by pleading the fifth amendment. Is it your intention to plead the fifth?

Written over 20 years ago. 🤦‍♀️ Same issues. “To many people, our nation's acceptance of corruption as the new order of the day began with the unprecedented exposure of presidential dishonesty and the lack of ethical and moral behavior in the White House.” #bellhooks #booksky #fable

#allaboutlove #bellhooks #booksky “Fundamentalist thinkers use religion to justify supporting imperialism, militarism, sexism, racism, homophobia. They deny the unifying of love that is at the heart of every major religious tradition." Sound familiar?
"The basic interdependency of life is ignored so that separateness and individual gain can be deified. Religious fundamentalism is often represented as authentic spiritual practice and given a level of mass media exposure that countercultural religious thought and practice never receive. Usually, fundamentalists, be they Christian, Muslim, or any faith, shape and interpret religious thought to make it conform to and legitimize a conservative status quo. Fundamentalist thinkers use religion to justify supporting imperialism, militarism, sexism, racism, homophobia. They deny the unifying of love that is at the heart of every major religious tradition. No wonder then that so many people who claim to believe in religious teachings do not allow their habits of being to reflect these beliefs. For example, the Christian church remains one of the most racially segregated institutions in our society. In Martin Luther King, Jr.'s letter to American Christians, in which he assumes the persona of the biblical apostle Paul, he admonishes believers for supporting segregation: "Americans I must urge you to be rid of every aspect of segregation. Segregation is a blatant denial of the unity which we have in Christ. It substitutes an "I-it" relationship for the "I-thou" relationship, and relegates persons to the status of things. It scars the soul and degrades the personality...It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible." This is only one example of the way in which organized religious worship corrupts and violates religious principles about how we should live in the world and how we should act toward one another. Imagine how different our lives would be if all the individuals who claim to be Christians, or who claim to be religious, were setting an example for everyone by being loving."

Finished #allaboutlove by #bellhooks and 🤍 her writing about #loveethic as a practice in thinking about the issues and divisions that persist today. “When we let our light shine, we draw to us and are drawn to other bearers of light. We are not alone.” #booksky
"Sadly, many of our nation's citizens are proud to live in one of the most democratic countries in the world even as they are afraid to stand up for individuals who live under repressive and fascist governments. They are afraid to act on what they believe because it would mean challenging the conservative status quo. Refusal to stand up for what you believe in weakens individual morality and ethics as well as those of the culture. No wonder then that we are a nation of people, the majority of whom, across race, class, and gender, claim to be religious, claim to believe in the divine power of love, And yet collectively remain unable to embrace a love ethic and allow it to guide behavior, especially if doing so would mean supporting radical change...An overall cultural embrace of love ethic would mean that we would all oppose much of the public policy conservatives condone and support." "To live our lives based on the principles of a love ethic (showing care, respect, knowledge, integrity, and the will to cooperate) we have to be courageous. Learning how to face our fears is one way we embrace love. Our fear may not go away, but it will not stand in the way. Those of us who have already chosen to embrace a love ethic, allowing it to govern and inform how we think and act, know that when we let our light shine, we draw to us and are drawn to other bearers of light. We are not alone."

#loveisblind and @netflix.com #netflix you no longer have the biggest fail for a livestream event with that reunion. You know the one. Biggest fail now goes to #Hulu for cutting the livestream before #bestacress and #bestpicture were presented! #oscars

My Hulu livestream just ended my Oscars viewing right before best actress announced. Said “live has ended” did this happen to anyone else? I can’t access it again on the Hulu page either. #oscars #hulu
