On this National Blackout Day, what do you have planned? What community agencies are you donating time and/or money to? What organizations do you support that are protecting democracy through their efforts to celebrate diversity, promote equity, and practice inclusion. #nationalblackout #blackout

Chia seeds and corn bread is a surprisingly good combination and contributes protein and omega-3 fatty acids for vegetarians also, great for diabetics and pre-diabetics. 🍽️

I'm rereading Morris's Origins of the Civil Rights Movement. In the first chapter there's a couple of passages that still stand out. Hell of relevant to the black community and allies today as it was decades ago. #civilrightsmovement #passages

@fleurbradley.bsky.social so I hear you like blue foot boobies! I captured this picture of a pair in Ecuador because their necks reminded me of a heart when they were standing next to each other.

I can't believe how fast time flies. My first class of students as a full-time prof at Niagara University made this sweatshirt for our history club. I miss them and those days. #nostalgia #greatstudents
Gray sweatshirt with purple letters that spell the quotation "history is everywhere" using famous people and events from history. The quote is attributed to Dr. V

I have lots of social commentary on this 'Pilgrim' salt shaker I came across at a secondhand store but I'm going to bite my tongue until after the meal. Have a Happy Thanksgiving y'all! #thanksgiving #pilgrim
Pilgrim salt shaker with phenotypically Asian features.

Yeah, this is how I get down vegetarian burger style. In my opinion, with the exception of a few local options, J. Alexander has the best vegetarian burger by far. I'm going to learn how to make this from scratch in 2025. #vegetarian #veggieburger
Veggie burger sliced in half on a plate with fries and roasted asparagus.

Can we please talk about how I cheered for this man as he fought against all odds, scrambling to survive In the ruthless streets of Gotham? Then for no reason--no reason at all---he reminds me why Batman wants to beat his ass in the first place.

Picture of Oz Cobb and Victor Aguilar sitting on a concrete block at night with street lights and trees in the background. There are patches of snow on slightly dead grass.

That Shyne doc on Hulu is a good tour on so many fronts--immigration, hip hop, lyricism, parenting, religion, and some well-deserved poetic justice.

Cover for the documentary featuring Shyne Barrow seated on a chair in the foreground with a picture of stairs to a Mayan ruin and a picture of his younger self as a rapper during his prime in the background.

Is it better than these? This combo of magnesium and ashwendaga does it for me every time.
Purple and white bottle of New Chapter herbal supplement with letters describing the contents: magnesium and ashwandaga pills with two times better absorption than the leading brand.

Sis put her family and her sanity on the line just to show us how difficult it is to practice cooperative economics as an African American. I love the fierce creativity at the core of this project.

Dilla Time is one of my favorite biographies. I love how Charnas explores ideas about time, space, music, family and culture throughout the life of hip hop's most important composer-producers.

I don't care what y'all say. I listened to this album at least a hundred times and I still love it like the first time I heard it.
Album cover of Lupe Fiasco's 'The Cool' a mostly black and very light gray imprints of a skeleton hand, a skull, and a heart-shaped locked in a triangular pattern. At the center the name of the artist, 'Lupe Fiasco's is written in a gold script to resemble Arabic lettering. A parental advisory explicit lyric label appears in the lower left corner.
