My mood of the day... Now that I've learned to float. #Blacksky #BlackskyMusic youtu.be/ET_h_9_cF9M?...

It's nice to be appreciated round here πŸ˜‚

This is my mood for the foreseeable future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wT1...

This was my JAM. I already know what you're gonna say @lerougarou.bsky.social πŸ˜‚

🀣🀣🀣

I've been absent for a while. This is my hibernation time of the year but I've been creating, and ya'll know I've been reading. I just got into "I just keep talking" by Nell Irvin Painter and seriously go get it!

I'm gonna be there and you probably should too.

My heart is with the folks in the midst of the fires. We have been told and shown time and time again what climate change is doing. Can we move past thoughts and prayers to action please.

Cause this is me so much of the time.

(Seasonal) Depression and grief are strange bedfellows. I live in my bed except for short stints when I can fake being okay long enough to try to be something else. I'll be okay this too will pass but right now I think I gotta stay unfurled for a while.

One of my favorite poems from Mama Nikki

On your palest days, remember that gratitude is the antidote for stress. START your day remembering your blessings. EXERCISE gives thanks for a healthy body. MEDITATION is thanks for love and a deep sense of peace. And your CAREER actions are thanks for abundance and a community to serve.

Ya'll!! I'm excited for the cover reveal of @authorveronicaking.bsky.social middle grade. She's an amazing writer and person and I can't wait to have this book in my hands. @inimitablebooksllc.bsky.social is a wonderful publisher More info: inimitable.pub/agnesjaegers... #Booksky

My natural rhythm falls into the Ray Bradbury challenge. It might be a month; or a year but the more I read the easier and more plentiful the writing. I naturally read poems in the morning, then I'll read part of a novel or novelette. I'm constantly consuming essay. This is how I breathe. #writesky

Ain't this the truth

Libraries ARE indeed amazing. Once you get your card(s) because reciprocal memberships are a thing. Sign up for libby/hoopla. All the ebooks and audiobooks you can read. Also Kanopy for movies, documentaries, The Great Courses and various and sundry.

This book is so good! @richardwriteson.bsky.social you put your foot in this! this is a mix of two of my favorite things a fast paced, accessible read and serious thought to gender, class, intimacy and the ways people survive. Thanks @lerougarou.bsky.social for the rec #booksky

I don't know about ya'll but I'll be in that Sci Fi/Afrofuturism class and probably the horror one as well.

BTW: My locs turned 18 years old today. My locs can vote, they can enlist. Most of all they can keep being wild and free like me. #Blacksky #locsky

I'm trying to create a "good and light" space for myself here. I'm slow and picky about following folks especially news accounts. I get it, I went to J school but I don't know if I want that here. Also if you are wanting me to perform 'perfect' progressive/left wing politics eh it's a no for me here

Tonight's listen

He **REALLY* ain't like us, but we knew that. Carry on.

y’all are too quick omg πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I'm almost done with my studio purge and reorganization project just in time for the Sun to be in my birth sign of Sagittarius and as Pluto has moved into Aquarius. This feels like divine timing for coming home to myself.

Sunday Mornings are for poetry.

The world might be going to hell but I'm listening to "We're Alone" by Edwidge Danticat. She narrates the audiobook herself, its masterfully done because it's Edwidge Danticat. #booksky #Blacksky

It's looks like I'm doing nothing but I'm doing some of everything.
