ANORA (2024), dir. Sean Baker

Hoooowwwww are we back here litigating the same shit all over again? Is it 2017 or 2025?

People can’t be canceled, but subscriptions sure as hell can be

Happy happy pub day Marya!!! Will be visiting my local bookstore to grab it this week! *kermit flailing arms gif*

A very huge happy pub day to my co-host and friend @lindaholmes.bsky.social! I’ve got my copy of her new book BACK AFTER THIS and cannot wait to dive in. The world’s a better place with her words and ideas and creations in it. 🙌🏾

Was just reminded of Eugene Ashe's sumptuous period romance SYLVIE'S LOVE, which I reviewed and adored when it came out almost five years ago. Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha sizzle, and the costumes and Sirk-ian production design are divine. www.npr.org/2020/12/24/9...

Still deeply affected by Benito’s latest album, I wrote a watchlist of things that complement it for @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/features/mov...

Just give me a supercut of Tom Sandoval looking perturbed, confused, and absolutely dumbfounded anytime anyone says anything during the TRAITORS roundtable

My go-to emoji for the indefinite future is 🫠

Screaming “IS THIS YOUR KING???!!!” into the void, forever and always

I wrote a book on Blaxploitation Cinema! Ya damn right! It's called BLACK CAESARS AND FOXY CLEOPATRAS: A HISTORY OF BLAXPLOITATION CINEMA. Available at bookstores, libraries and even an audiobook (read by moi). If you want to get a copy, ask yo' mama!

As I am back on the job hunt (and, in the meantime, the freelance work hunt), I'm dropping a thread of some of my proudest work here for consideration. Contact info and journalism portfolio are both linked in my bio. www.huffpost.com/entry/future...

Look, I know statistically I’m still far more likely to die or be seriously injured every time I get in a car (which is almost daily), especially with the way Cali drivers are out here. But my pre-existing fear of flying? Let’s just say Benadryl and I are gonna be besties when I fly in two weeks.

Evergreen self-care practice 👇🏾

Screaming “IS THIS YOUR KING???!!!” into the void, forever and always

I was waiting for that f-bomb, and then (for only the second time, *ahem*) Dolly let me down. Love this collab, though!

My bank account could not be more relieved that my lack of overall enthusiasm for COWBOY CARTER has released me from the shackles of desire to go into debt for those concert tickets

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

One of the more random puzzles I’ve completed.

My whole life just feels like doomscrolling at this point. I’m just doomexisting

We’re all being dragged to hell, and 10-hour adaptations of every movie you ever liked are coming with us goddamn it
