Tonight I opened the bag of cacao powder I bought in Tabasco, and I brewed hot chocolate drinks--or at least a close enough semblance thereof. 🍫 Hot drinks for a chilly evening remind me to find peace in the small things. ☕ #ValentinesDay

Let me say this: Jasmine Crockett has become one of the strongest members of our party. She hasn’t stopped fighting and neither has she kissed the ring like so many others. She’s a future House Speaker.

Per an old Taoist story, this could all just be sleeping Elon's dream, a lifetime gaining wealth and power, only to be branded a traitor and left to die an old man in jail--before he wakes up to realize the error of avarice. We're just the NPCs in his morality tale. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wor...

February is #BlackHistoryMonth, and I will be making videos on how Native and African descendants exchanged ideas since the colonial period, as well as how these interactions have contributed to Latin American culture. These images come from last June's visit to Bogota, Colombia!

Remember that subplot in #Babylon5 when EarthForce military took over the ISN news channel on live TV? It went dark and then reopened a few episodes later with a bubbly, pro-president newscast. I am denying any connection with yesterday's prompt. Nothing to see here. ... #Tiktok #Propaganda
