Ripping out one page at a time of my "gifted student" program catalogue and setting each on fire while whispering "you ruined my life" over and over.

Continuing to dig through old things and somehow came across a 20-year-old catalogue of special summer/pre-college programs for "gifted" middle and high school students. I should set it on fire.

Pretty sure my late granny was romantically involved with this exact same no-good gambling scoundrel Bessie Smith is singing about in this short film. Also the 1920s went crazy, what do you mean the director of Bessie Smith's only (all Black!) film also did an experimental film with Ezra Pound??

Opened my Ulta skincare delivery and discovered that they gave me a tester product that was 1/3 empty and covered in makeup. Now I'm praying for whoever has to deal with me at the return counter tomorrow.

Just found out that Jhené Aiko has a skincare product line called "jhenetics" with the talking "nourish your nature" and man, 20-year-old me would have went so hard on an essay about this and the new eugenics movement.

For 25 years I've convinced myself that my memory was too poor for successful recitation. Then two weeks ago I asked myself, "What if I actually tried?" And now I've memorized a (small) passage of writing.

Being a human is so embarassing sometimes, why did I just trip over my own foot and slow-motion fall down my brick steps.

the black excellence / representatioon matters framing that most digital black media has shifted solely to saddens me bc the legacy of these (storied) pubs is to generate ideas not simply react to them. what could we generate if our visions of tomorrow were not constantly on the defensive?

The Good Wife came out in 2009, (which is 16 years ago btw) and it’s almost disturbing how much the television landscape has changed since then. Please bring back 20+ episodes a season to build stories properly 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Was going through some of my old high school stuff buried in my grandfather's attic and it turns out I owe my alma mater's library a few bucks for a never-returned Edith Wharton novel.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The two upcoming special elections in deep-red FL congressional districts are going to be an interesting barometer for where the public is on all this.

Among all the other reasons I'm rooting for team Kendrick is because he and SZA are actually using samples well and we've been overran with whack samples in hip-hop and R&B these last 5 years especially.

In 20 degree weather I had to run outside with my dog in just PJ t-shirt/shorts and my plush robe, and what I have learned from this experience is that a fur coat and lingerie ensemble would be more comfortable than I realized. Taking note for the future when such a gesture would be warranted.

"He sounds like the ex-dude trying to woo his old girl by showing off his copy of All About Love only because he needs somewhere to stay." Incredible take on the new Drake (🙄) album.

Every film should start by showing someone's hand flipping the pages of the adapted text on what appears to be a red satin bed cover.
