Kendrick Lamar showed the world that art is a powerful form of resistance. He proved that he really is the biggest hater, and I love that! #kendricklamar #halftimeshow

The irony of getting a Black History Month email from Target when they literally just got rid of DEI. It was always performative. If you REALLY want to support Black businesses, shop small and shop direct. Look up Black owned businesses in your area and direct to consumer online.

I plan on throwing myself into my writing: the hobby I hope to make my career. I also plan on throwing myself into the hobbies I plan on keeping as hobbies, such as knitting and embroidering. The amount of crochet cat and hand knitted sweater tutorials I have saved somewhere on my phone is obscene.

In my F-Amazon era, and I need people to tell me if getting a Kobo is worth it! I currently have a Kindle and KU, but the Kobo looks really nice and their KU equivalent seems like a better deal than Amazon. #books #booksky #readersofbluesky #ereaders #kindle #kobo

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Sitting with my kid, who insists on snuggling with me while they play the Switch, and that makes me happy. Why? Because once upon a time, I used video games to escape my verbally abusive parent. Mine chooses to connect and snuggle while playing games instead. Breaking generational curses? Who knows

I’m just another American riddled with terror, so I’m gonna be a good therapy student and focus on the things in my control: 1) being a present and loving person to my loved ones 2) reading books I enjoy 3) writing stories I and others enjoy 4) cuddling my cats 5) maybe starting a community garden

Making it past the first round for the NYCMidnight 250 word Microfiction contest with a story about a bisexual fish debating whether to do the nasty with the only other fish in her tank is a plot twist I didn’t expect! Either way, I’m excited to be moving on to round 2! @nycmidnight.bsky.social
