Man, I wish someone had told me about Readymag earlier. I’ve been having SO much fun refreshing and migrating my website 🤗.

@npr.org Bow Wow Tiny Desk for Black Music Month. That's a freebie for the people.

Yes, I’m always on my phone. But, I’m not always on the PHONE part of my phone. YounowwhatImean?

The “Mammy Dearest” episode of A Different World… Debbie, you wild for that one.

Wrote about divas for Black History Month, and for my own sanity. www.dilettantestudios.net/blog/on-divas #blacksky #writers #BHM

i asked an art elder for reassurance recently, i said “what is the role of the black artist in times of fascism?” he said: “to create a world for us to imagine and calculate through art.” for me, my task remains that simple.

Definitely one for the books.

These are SO cute! 😍

it's important to remember that black history isn't just about movements and towering figures. some of you are the first in your family to graduate, own a business, own a home, educate others, seek therapy, master a recipe, share your art, rest, come out a closet, etc. that is black history too.

"Effie I have a SOOOOOOOONNNGGG..."

✅ Just put this on hold at my local library.

Ok, Benson!

Forty years after her first nomination, the legendary Sheila E. just won her first Grammy

all of my writing is created using 100% certifiably organic intelligence. by which i mean i'm raising my freelance prices by 20%. if anyone complains, i'm including the word artisan in there and raising my prices by another 20%.

So proud of Doechii 🥹.

No pins?? Beautiful work 🤌🏾.

Marvin Sapp?? Let's go!

I will never forget how it felt riding the CTA again after returning from my first trip to Japan. “Is this a third-world country? 🤔”

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Legend.

Another day, another right-wing backlash to how threatening and sickening I am.

Happy Gail Bean-joins-the-cast-of-Harlem Day to all who celebrate 🎈.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie! And disappointed I didn’t see more chatter 💐💐💐. Let me go watch it again…

Oh if they’re on the menu, I’m getting ‘em. After I confirm they are chips and not spears!

why are you making me watch a video

Manifesting a paid career in books and writing for 2025 💙📚

Me either. I’ve only seen, and enjoyed!, the Hobbit movies. 🫣.

The way y’all talked about Megalopolis I thought it would be trash. But that may have been the most fun I had at the theater all year 😅. Big, wacky, fun.

Whole album is diamond in my house at this point 😅

@governor.ca.gov just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern California wildfires. Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

A good read for "Quitter's Day". www.dilettantestudios.net/blog/on-a-wo...

Sometimes when I talk to homeless people in the Bay Area, I ask them how they became homeless. Sometimes, they say that they lost their homes in a wildfire. More painful than seeing people lose their homes in a forest fire, is watching them lose their humanity, as our empathy for them evaporates.

Loving this.

This song sounds like Bresha Webb's character, Renee, from Run the World 😌

A tee hee 😂.

🚨🚨🚨

The fact that you can't stream A Different World online anymore should be radicalizing a lot more people right now. We used to be a country.
