No one is surprised that 2 gemini men are being messy in public.

I'm really upset that we have to be in the middle of their homoerotic breakup.

I'm about to scream. I'm so upset that this damn shampoo stripped my green hair that I worked so hard to get the right shade. AND it said it was color safe. Count your days Pattern!

DEI, DIVIDE & CONQUER The Sec. of Ed. claims black history is “DEI”, while holocaust ed. is not. Those who don’t want you reading Frederick Douglass, don’t want you reading Anne Frank. If any of us are unsafe, all of us are endangered.The Nazis STUDIED Jim Crow to kill. #BlackHistory #Holocaust

Hey. Hoodoos, woowoos & Black spiritualists in between. Can I be real? We can know &do all the astro things we want to make happen but if them spirits say no. It's not gonna happen. & that sucks b/c even the celestials be on their side. So sometimes you just gotta sit & wait. #blacksky

Any suggestions for good newsletter programs/sites/software that is not substack? I don't care for mailchimp. And am currently using hubspot.

Still in bed because I did too much yesterday. But I'm about to get up. Got a large to do list today as well.

I laughed at this more than I should

During my panel yesterday I meant to add this advice. "Don't let someone else's success make you feel less. They're on their journey. You're on yours." Beverly Jenkins.

Passionate about research on biological and artificial minds? my lab @preparedmindslab.bsky.social is hiring! We are looking for a 2-year postdoctoral researcher interested in modelling and animal Cognition qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/... write me for informal inquiries 🐣👾🤖

Always. Memphis is Black history.

Yall president asking the Supreme Court to allow him to do mass federal layoffs.

I'm so close to finishing all my to do's for today.

All Job Corps centers will be fully paused by June 30, 2025. The impact of the pause has already been felt across the country, with tens of thousands of students being sent home from their programs. www.localmemphis.com/article/life...

Homelessness is a structural failure, not a personal one.

It's Men's Mental Health Month. It's time for a check in! To my sky homies, scale of 1 (bad)- 10 (amazing), how's your mental?

It's crazy that we're already through half of 2025.

Y'all pull up a chair and read this. #HoodooSky blesstheroads.substack.com/p/hoodoo-for...

"Harriet Tubman, along with Black soldiers, took part in a daring Union raid of Combahee Ferry near Beaufort, South Carolina. She became the first American woman to lead a major military operation when she and at least 150 Black soldiers helped to rescue more than 700 Black Americans..."

We now have the details of the federal 2026 budget proposal, and it spells the end of IMLS. The request is $6,000,000 to "conduct an orderly closeout of IMLS." Whatever happens in the 2 court cases would be moot if this passes. bookriot.com/the-2026-fed...

Still gives me chills!

Thank you @ruha9.bsky.social for the wonderful twin Tanner lectures: the first a critique of the ‘Artificial Intelligentsia’ and the destructive ideologies that fuel their technologies: youtu.be/ZseJigkUhuE?...

HAPPY PRIDE Y’ALL 🫶🏾

*me trying to enjoy my solo birthday brunch* *roaming spirits acting up downtown* Me:

Welp make this birthday #4 of me crying on my birthday. And this time it was when the clock struck 12 while eating cheetos 🤣🤣🤣 Crying for four years straight on your birthday is crazy work but alas. Sitting in gratitude and testimony this year. Cheers to turning 31 on the 31st! ✨️

In the 19th century, a New Orleans doctor sent the skulls of 19 Black Americans to a doctor in Germany, where they were used as part of now discredited racial science. The remains were recently returned to the city, where they will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Life in Gaza is no longer bearable. Even bread is gone. All we have left is you. Don’t forget us—be the humanity that the world has lost.

It’s a little known fact, but there are genuinely not that many planes available for deportation to be carried out on. ICE doesn’t have its own fleet of aircraft. It contracts with private companies to provide charter air service. And there aren’t that many unbooked airplanes + crew floating around.

They don't normally set up shop in *very* Black neighborhoods/cities, but they will put warehouse based operations in them. They want you to come labor for them, but not actually be a customer roaming in their store.

Gonna go out on a limb and say the problem with young men isn’t that no one listens to them but that they have been conditioned by society to believe strength and power are masculine traits. With few exceptions they’ve been gender segregated to some extent since they were children.

I don't want a Sinners 2. I don't want a spin off. I don't want a prequel. Sometimes let art be.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

One day I'll sit down and make dashboards to track stuff on excel. But not today lol. I want to use it to track the ideas I have (writing) and my progress on them. If that makes sense.
