Let’s get a thread of support going for #Juneteenth If you’re Black, post your payment links below (paypal, venmo, ko-fi, gofundme, etc). Everybody else, pick someone to donate to and repost. 👇💕

Edith Edmunds, who is 99 years old, the art of quilt making is inextricably linked to the Black struggle for freedom. That's why she plans to be sewing Thursday on Juneteenth.

Seriously, #GH, what are you doing? Drew is now a villain, but your music choices, CM's acting choices, and some of the writing choices push him being heroic. WTF Mob stuff had its heyday. Stop. Where's the romance? Stop torturing Sasha. Focus on Trina, not Kai. Bring back Taggert and Gia.

#GH fumbles so many pairings that have chemistry and many fans like. Romances that fans can invest in are part of why people watch soaps. I don’t get it.

Need to have better follow-through. Currently have over 10 WIPs, twice as many books to revise/update, a book club idea, and a few workshop ideas, not to mention craft projects. Another issue is there are so many ideas/projects, I freeze, not knowing which to pick. So nothing gets done.

love these two lovebirds ✨ what song do you think kermit is singing for miss piggy? (wrong answers very welcomed) #kidlit #kidlitart #muppets

A fun way to learn some African American history is to read Beverly Jenkins' historical romances and follow what interests you. I'm over halfway through her historical romance books and they're entertaining and inspire me to learn more history. Or just read for fun! www.beverlyjenkins.net

🍵 RARE JOB OPENING 🍵 🫖 Our Seattle café-store is seeking a full-time closing shift tea server. Beginning wage at $21/hr with wage review at 30 days and annual raises thereafter.

Feels weird to promote my podcast after all the news this week but I also know a lot of you hate AI as much as I do and we had a really funny and good conversation about it on the pod this week.

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed. One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Because shit’s hard right now, and I’ve seen some misinformation floating around, I’m sharing the below crisis resources for others living in the US. Please reach for help if you need it. We deserve to outlive the fuckers who hate us.

It’s world pollinator week! 🐝 🌿 These little guys have massive impacts on ecosystems. We need them. You can protect them by growing native plants, refusing to rake/blow leaf litter, and rejecting pesticide use. Ask your local elected leaders to make these practices policy in public spaces, too!

Black Love Matters is a must-read!

Fellow #BeyondTheGates fans, if you've been buying Febreeze and Tide, please consider skipping it this week and donating that money to the NAACP, who are also part of bringing us #BTG naacp.org/donate?emci=...

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, knee braces, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

Everyone who gardens or farms, they are the real deal. #BlackSky #BlackFarmers

Seeing the impact of those billionaire dollars w/ a wave of negative coverage -- if you're in NYC, help the Mamdani campaign out if you can. He can make the city better. And please, whatever you do, do not rank Cuomo.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

African American History IS American History 24/7/365 scdailygazette.com/2025/06/19/h...

I have two books out that feature Black Texans. 'Fall into You' which takes place in a small town in the Hill Country and More to Love that takes place in a fictional city named Milagros. Fall Into You: books2read.com/u/bxr0M6 More to Love: books2read.com/u/bwyrAO

Nature + Fiddle

And it's uncomfortable cuz you probably got teased as a kid if you weren't immediately good at something and you probably have adults in your life now that'll say you're wasting your time, so your kneejerk reaction is to avoid criticism. But dealing with the discomfort is also a skill you can learn.

Happy Juneteenth from your fave all Black, Queer, Trans iconic gang~ 💜🧡 Looking for ways to support us, both free and monetarily? • Sharing our posts/shows! • Recommending us for various endeavors (stares in sponsorships) • Sharing resources • Commenting on posts! • And ofc, ko-fi.com/baddiebards 👈🏿

I'm excited to add another London event next week! We'll be talking about Copaganda and how contemporary mainstream news coverage contributes to rising authoritarianism. The new event is Wednesday, June 25 at 7pm at Newspeak House. Please share widely. lu.ma/pfusy25r

Remora House is great to support on Juneteenth! Nearly 90% of the unhoused in DC are Black.

Happy Juneteenth; have you considered dropping some folding money on the Black folk on your smedia who have educated and entertained you over the last 365 days? You should!

I’d add The Porter and The Book of Negroes from BET+ but otherwise I can only say that once again @anibundel.bsky.social secretly read my mind 😂

This also applies to media. NYT and other genocidal rags are seeing growing trans anger and mobilization (outside the Gay Inc framework that's traditionally tamped those down) and are terrified they might actually start facing some consequences. So it's a full barrage of "the transes went too far."

Help Jodie & her sister out!!! ❤️

I will never shut up about reparations. This country owes Black people a massive debt that accrues by the day and has zero statute of limitations.

In my #GH offscreen soap, it's because Yuri and Terry are off on a romantic summer vacation. 😁

Another way to celebrate #Juneteenth Support a Black library or museum. Link to the Association of African American Museums in the comments. booksforblackkids.com/black-librar... #blacksky #booksky #blackbooksky #blackculture #blackhistory #libraries #museums #diaspora #edusky #parentsky

Okay, the world is a hot mess, so I'm going to share this: I sold my iPad over the weekend to an older gentleman. His offer was a little lower than my listed price, but he was so polite, I went for it. When we met up, he mentioned he had just come from lunch at a local Mexican taqueria -

Going to work and pretending things are fine is really off-putting.

Just in case this wasn't clear, this session is for everybody everywhere, not just Philly people. ok ok just wanna make sure.

Reminder: always but especially during stressful, uncertain times, it’s psychologically protective to have something specific to look forward to. On Thurs, I’m birding with a friend before work and playing D&D with friends after work. Choose to put light at the end of tunnels wherever you can.
