Alright, y'all have a little over a week to be obsessed with the conclave and then Extra Omnes aka "you need to leave!" once it begins on May 7. If you want a conclave, watch the movie or find some Kappas.

I’m not gonna hold you but as a Christian the last review I wanna see on Sinners is from a Christian. I should specify, from a specific type of Christian who will try their hardest to force the movie into a Christian salvific message where Christianity conquers evil and hoodoo

2. I need to start planning my Cowboy Carter outfit. I delivered for Renaissance but CC has me stumped on an original effort that does not find me as one of fifty-leven cowboy hat wearing people

A few things… 1. Trader Joe’s Sweet Plantain chips have me in a chokehold. One bag can’t last more than a day in this household and I am the household.

Earlier this morning I nearly had a heart attack. What had happened was, I pulled up just short of next to a car full of YNs, all wearing balaclavas. One was hanging out the passenger side window looking around and then all of a sudden he got out and one of them in the backseat got out…

That scene between them is BURNED into my mind. I’d like to see the uncut version, the director’s cut, the rehearsal, everything

Between Sinners and the Shannon Sharpe news we are ever reminded of the dangers of (some) white pu$$y. Been the downfall of many a Black man tho it is arguable if it was the downfall or the comeup of Stack in Sinners—I’m gonna post about this on the clock app soon.

You know you been living in Atlanta too long when a grill starts seeming like a good idea. Like I’ve never ever wanted one but this city is unduly influencing me and I been thinking about what kind I’d get but I also wonder, how do they clip on and does it scratch up your teeth?

I love Fellini’s Pizza and I don’t at the same damn time because why is it so damn tough??? I feel like I need to get a different set of teeth to tear into the dough and the crust

I’m happy to say that I’ve seen all but one of these. I didn’t know that Last Voyage of Demeter is considered a Black vampire film. I’m surprised that Vampire in Brooklyn didn’t make this list but Vampires vs. the Bronx because they are both comical in a sense

Sinners is a 10/10, 100/10, 1000/10, 10000000/10 film. Got damn that movie was good!

I’m going to make a shirt with the words “Rude but Reasonable” on it and put a likkle Jamaican flag on it, hell I’mma put the whole of CARICOM on it. “Out of many, one rude and reasonable people.”

Recently someone described me as “rude but reasonable.” I disagreed because of the example they used to describe me—re: turning lights off when you’re the last one to come in. But the more I think about it, especially as the child of Caribbean parents, “rude but reasonable,” is v. Caribbean.

Finally my TikTok FYP got right again and I am happily on TriniTok, JamaicaTok, and cute puppy tok. My FYP was messed up yesterday, sending me all the relationship content from jaded girlies and aggressive men.

I still want to go to the Kendrick/SZA concert but I don't want to pay a million dollars. Does anyone know if people are scoring reasonable tickets on the day before or day of the show? Reasonable is defined as under $300, preferably under $250, because yes, I am still living in the olden days

I’ve been playing hopscotch around Sinners posts because I haven’t seen it yet—going tomorrow. As usual though, y’all finna thinkpiece it to death. I understand this is the cultural moment we are in where we most articulate out, but lawdamercy we need an embargo so y’all can let it cook a little.

Lately I’ve been very much in my Catholic bag on TikTok and I feel pretty proud of my rundown of the conclave process. If you’re on there will you give the post some love or laughs 😂 Also not this still image making me look like a big-forehead evil one 😂

I am completely loving how Ally Love is conducting her Peloton classes without making any announcement despite the elephant in the room. In this morning's class someone in the studio asked her, "How are you feeling?" And she jokingly responded that people keep asking her that.

I am thankful I have real ones for students. I walked in, asked how they were doing, they asked me because I guess I wasn't really masking and I said, "I really don't have IT today." One student deferred to another who all but closed her laptop and was like, "I could use a work day."

One, this seems really obvious but two is, how would they even know if you watched them or not? Is there a test that assesses knowledge of the most obscure scenes of a film?

I wonder if my students will feel a way about me coming into class today like, “I’m not feeling it, go be free today.” I guess I’m about to find out because that’s what time I’m on and the class is called Wisdom of the Flesh and this is the wisdom of mine right now

I don’t want to hear shit from the worst Catholic in the White House, JD Vance. Keep Pope Francis’s name out your mouth, bro. Do not brag about meeting him because you had a gift in meeting him and mans was literally telling you to do better and be better and you just wanted a photo op.

Also, I feel Pope Francis transitioning on Easter Monday is so holy and respectful. I imagine he held on through the Triduum and Easter Sunday and released this morning so that the saints could celebrate the resurrection of Christ and not be burdened otherwise. Very mindful, very demure. Very holy.

Us living out a real life conclave this soon after Conclave was not on my bingo card. Rest in peace to, Pope Francis, the realest pope I’ve seen thus far.

I just watched the second episode of Pop the Balloon or Find Love on Netflix and they definitely ironed out the kinks. The show still doesn’t have legs on the platform, but at least it’s not a chaos circus as it was last week.
