Watching tv with my mama and my godmother (her bestie and line sister) called. She’s been taking care of her dad and rarely gets time to herself, but met us at the JCSU football game yesterday.
Her: You were on my mind and I just wanted to call and tell you I appreciate you being my sister. I...😭

Today seems like a great time to remind you that the WWII Museum in New Orleans has an amazing 30-40 minute 4D, detailed experience of the war and impact that is narrated by Tom Hanks. Extremely powerful, and Hanks literally reminds the audience at the end why this should never happen again.

Am I the only one COMPLETELY pissed off by The Articulettes' performance wardrobe on Beyond the Gates?
They built up this reunion since damn near March, and THIS <gestures wildly> is the wardrobe they show up in? THIS <gestures> is what Chelsea *improved* upon?

Finished first two episodes of Washington Black last night, and omg! This show is sooo good, and young Wash is carrying the show on his back so far!
I really appreciate whoever wrote the script for the character of Barrington, because the knowledge he dropped in ep 2....whew!

Emmett Till would be 84 today.
Not 114. Not 104.
84.
He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.

Nothing demonstrates how absolutely trash some tech development is more than when I have to drive a car with touchpad controls. Nothing is tactile, and you can't do the most basic of shit like turn the air on without being fully parked, cause where tf is the control anyhoo?

Been thinking about this book since I saw Sinners. I was introduced to Dr. Foster in '21, when he gave a talk for Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's group on his new book, which explores why Black folks in Clarksdale, MS love but don't *like* the blues; bc of *who* now consumed it and *how* it impacted them. 🧵
