A decent plane movie. Gave an extra half star for Ryan Gosling’s hotness.

Alicante, Spain • February 2025

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Guess where I’ll be in May? #yaya

This is diabolical and the level of pettiness I strive for daily. trumpgolftrack.com

The amount of hope and will to live that Beyoncé gives me can’t be measured.

Second film of the year and it was good y’all!

Y’all it’s 2025. Stop flicking your cigarette butts out your car window.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Got my first hate mail today. Folks can stay bothered. I said what I said.

You can get an out of state library card for $85 to support the Salem Public Library and keep it from closing!

Every time a book gets removed from a shelf my blood boils. In Knox County Schools, 48 titles were banned last month. This first round of bans is just the tip of the iceberg and we need to keep talking about it and fighting against it. Read my op ed! #bannedbooks #blackbooksky #booksky #resist

Immediately 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was so inspiring and I’m grateful to the ancestors for showing us the way through the world we’re living in now. Resist resist resist! Refuse refuse refuse! #blackbooksky #booksky

This feels like a really timely word of the day…

Started the process of moving my funds out of a big, corporate bank over to a local credit union today. The level of service and kindness I experienced honestly took me by surprise. I’m excited for this journey!

Instead of saying “I love you” at the end of a phone call my dad just shouts LOVE and then promptly hangs up before I can say it back 😂

Made a goal to watch more films this year and my first one was The Last Showgirl!

Ignorance truly is bliss because I mentally checked out the entire day and I had a great day.

Just set up a monthly donation to the ACLU. They’re gonna need it.

Just spent the most relaxing morning at my local spa, tactfully avoiding the news. I feel refreshed and ready to continue celebrating MLK Day. I hope Martin is looking down and smiling at all this Black joy I’m creating for myself. #supportsmallbusiness #mlkday #knoxville #tennessee

My MLK Day read ✊🏾 #booksky #currentlyreading

This book was the perfect thing to read as I awaited the new season of Severance. The Dream Hotel feels so on the nose for the times we’re in now. Book clubs should read this because it helps readers ponder issues of incarceration, corporate greed, and the fight for our privacy and data. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Curious how these states celebrate their confederate holidays. Like is it kinda a racist Christmas or what? Are there parades? Reenactments of losing the war?

Literacy rates across the US are at a staggering low and here I am working at a bookstore lol

Nancy Leftenant-Colon, who became the first Black nurse in the U.S. Army Air Corps after President Harry S. Truman desegregated it in 1948, has died at age 104.

How are folks finding joy and not giving into the intense anxiety of this hellscape? Asking for a friend

Back to work and I think it would be fun this year to be the most likely employee to act a fool.

The Wicked sing-along healed my soul.

I’m out here having the Christmas I dreamed of having as a kid 🥹

My top moment of joy from the past week was spoiling to someone that the Santa in “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was really the dad. Their flabbers were gasted 😂

Here are my top 10 favorite sad Christmas songs: 10. Blue Christmas 9. River 8. Winter Song 7. Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 6. Mary Did You Know 5. Hard Candy Christmas 4. Christmas Shoes 3. Last Christmas 2. Please Come Home For Christmas 1. I’ll Be Home For Christmas

I’m giving myself 22 days to finish 8 books. It won’t be enough to make my reading goal for the year, but it would surpass what I read last year. I’m prioritizing books I started but then put down, quick reads, and audiobooks. I’m not above throwing in some childrens books if I have to.

I spent the whole weekend introducing people to the song Christmas Shoes.
