What was Dru Hill 5 steps from? And how come they never got within 2 steps of anything?

"Alexa, play 94.1 KPFA" Beautiful tribute to D'Wayne Wiggins happening right now 🤎

Such a loss for music fans. His contributions to Destiny's Child's The Writings on the Wall album might be my favorite work from him.

I had no idea! I'll be sure to tune in now that I know.

I love when my students remember how they felt or what they learned in my class almost a decade later 🥰

My ex husband and his family do whack shit. When the kids ask me about it, I tell them the truth, but it's always coupled with compassion and understanding because it's just their generational trauma. Then they want to be like, stop saying bad things about us to the kids. 🤡

Is Jasmine Crockett the only Democrat left in Congress? What are they doing while she's out here ringing the alarm?

Alexa, play 84.1 KPFA "Don't disturb this groove..." 🎶

If you are hoarding eggs, I get it. Just please make sure you consume them. Don't let the rationale to hoard lead you to throwing away expired eggs.

There's a fascinating trend of AAU basketball teams having a Black coach but not a single Black player. These kids live in communities with no other Black kids--which is certainly an intentional choice that their parents made--but somehow they find a Black man to coach their white/Asian kids.

Make time to watch #SkyLives this Black History Month! He's a Vallejo legend who was deeply influenced by the beautifully diverse community that he grew up in. The documentary didn't dive into Vallejo as much as I would've wanted, but it's definitely an integral part of the band and their sound.

I can't prove it, but the teachers at Abbott Elementary helped the Eagles win that superbowl.

Me getting a beehive pre-sale code in my inbox when I thought I missed out by not signing up on time

Not "all white people" are wrong. But when it comes to race, the majority of white Americans have been on the wrong side of every single racial issue in the 248-year history of this country. So why would anyone even care what they think about Black art?

if you too want to know the joys of walking around in a circle, talking **** about your biggest opps, a picket line might be the place for you

I wrote about the biggest rap performance of all time, Kendrick’s positioning of anti-Drake-ness as part of a larger pro-Blackness and justice for Serena Williams andscape.com/features/gen...

Do I need to go stock up on maple syrup? 🥞

All of our family movie nights in February feature movies about Black History. Any suggestions of good family movie we should watch #BlackSky? My kids are 12, 10, 7 and 4, but the younger ones never make it past the first 30 minutes.

Costco sells menstrual cups on their website! Maybe I will be able to boycott Target and Amazon as a single mom with hella kids. Or at least shop there less than I did in 2024.

My son loves the Desmond Cole series which has similar energy. I wish the kids loved the books I loved, but I'm happy that they at least love the books that they love. 📚

Me and my book club buds are finishing reading “Children of Blood and Bone” by @tomiadeyemi.bsky.social ✨ In February, we’re reading LEGENDBORN by @tracydeonn.bsky.social! We start reading on February 7, 2025. I’m excited for this read! ❤️‍🔥 fable.co/club/mychal-...

Sleep and nothin. Works for me! 😴☺️

Guess we gotta celebrate Black History Month like it's the last one. I'll take any reason to go hard for Black History though. And partying through facism is my plan anyway.

Last week's episode of Abbott Elementary was so much more realistic than folks realize because I've been on hella field trips with teenagers on a party bus 😂

And checking them out from the library! 📚

And another film about a Vallejo legend!!! #707 variety.com/2025/film/ne...

He's from Vallejo!! 😁 #707

I just feel like we need a new word for mother-in-law. Having "mother" in it feels hella misleading. She's my ex-mother-in-law, but still

Happy birthday @kaisminutiae.bsky.social !!! I love celebrating with you this weekend. Hope this year brings all the joy, rest, and growth that you desire. And some extra $$$ for your traveling budget. 😉

Alexa.. Play Auld Lang Syne by Mariah Carey

I remember learning about how bad wealth inequality was in college, and that was 20 years ago. I can't believe how much worse it's gotten. Did the Occupy Wall Street movement have any impact?

This was my exact family yesterday 🥲

My son is tryna keep watching this game and my daughter is watching something else on Netflix and I'm not able to rewind and rewatch Beyoncé because only two people can watch on our Netflix account at a time. 😒

Tryna learn the official line dance that Beyoncé & Blue did for #TexasHoldEm #BeyonceBowl
