@ynb.bsky.social I’m watching you on Celebrity Jeopardy right now and I feel so nervous right along with you, sis. I’m sorry, but the South African dude sailing through African geography really sticks in my craw 😬. You’re having a comeback at this point in the game. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Please look at (and share) this incredible illustration by Portuguese artist Zez Faz. If we don’t stand up to this oligarchical government overthrow now, then when will we?

The #StarTrek scene where Uhura pretended to seduce evil Sulu paved the way. Nichelle Nichols was so badass! She keeps giving shades of Bey!

I felt like today my therapist was like “You need to go see somebody.” She needed a tissue FR.

Does anyone know what wine pairs nicely with the next 4 years?

I tried to make Tini’s famous baked mac & cheese. A couple notes. 1. pasta and cheeses are different here in Portugal.

2., for somehow I went heavy handed with the paprika she recommended. I don’t normally use paprika, but I went from 0 to 60 on that, lending it an odd taste.

🤔 If I was back on my bicycle 🚲 in 1982 and rode through a portal that landed me in Dec 2024, I wonder what would be among the most shocking discoveries?

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."

I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

Just checking something. Who would go to someone’s house for Thanksgiving and go into their kitchen barefoot 🦶?

I’m curious. 🧐

I watched and loved “A Man on the Inside.”

That scythe is coming, and we can view it grimly or with joy. I opt for the latter.

My mom has dementia and the portrayal of the descent is accurate and poignant. Still, somehow, we were able to laugh thru a lot of the episodes.

Great job, all. #Netflix

The #Scottish government officials did not mince words about how they view trump, nor about their affection for Americans who embrace democracy.

This is an interesting article in yesterday’s NYT about a white family who passed down Lakota artifacts but finally decided to return them to the Lakota people. @lakotaman.bsky.social have you seen this?

I’m afraid for all my friends in the US. I’m trying to figure out how we Americans living abroad can get together to plan for and provide refuge outside the US for those who find themselves in acute danger starting 20 January 2024.

Y’all! I have to buy a slow cooker from that horrible little man’s app because they do not sell them here in Portugal.

What brand/type to buy in 2024? All suggestions appreciated. 🍽️ #cooksky #whatsfordinner #BlackSky
