Book cover for Original Sins by Eve L. Ewing. Red shape resembling a bitten apple with black handwritten text. A small, silhouetted figure stands on the left. Subtext reads: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children.

@eveewing.bsky.social's 'Original Sins' is a necessary piece on the origins of the American education system. When even Home Ec isn't just about food within a system that, at its core, is meant to control differing populations, where do we go from here?

Book cover for The Man in My Basement by Walter Mosley, featuring a man in a suit standing in darkness with a bright light bulb hanging in front of his face. The author’s name and title are in bold, modern font above.

'The Man in my Basement' by Walter Mosley is an excellent show of power not being just a physical state but a mental, psychological hold as we watch the main character bend to the will of a man who seemingly has no control at all.

Main heading “Educational Resources” introduces the section. The first item is a “Peri/menopause symptom tracker” available for download, featuring a visual preview of the tracker worksheet. Below, a series of webinar replay listings are presented as separate blocks, each featuring the date, webinar title (such as “Discussing Hypnotherapy in Perimenopause and Menopause,” “Perimenopause 101,” “Nutrition Myths,” and others), speaker names—sometimes shown with a portrait photo or small icon—plus a concise summary sentence for each webinar’s focus. Most webinar entries include a bold “Watch Here” replay button; some require access passcodes shown beside the links. The webinar topics span perimenopause, menopause, nutrition, health equity, vibrational sound therapy, supplements, acupuncture, chronic pain, foot health, oral health, film screenings, cooking demos, and more. Visual content is integrated throughout, with speaker images, topical icons, or supplementary graphics associated with each event. The overall content layout is structured as a list of individual resource blocks for easy browsing and replay access.

YouTube video by HBO The Leftovers Season 2: Opening Credits (HBO)

I hate that I love this but... When I watch The Leftovers, the theme song gets stuck in my head for days...

YouTube video by whitneyhoustonVEVO Whitney Houston - All The Man That I Need (Live at HBO's Welcome Home Heroes, 1991)

When I need a pick me up, I watch this performance of Whitney Houston singing "All the Man that I Need". She had such a mastery of her instrument. In this performance, she makes all that power look so effortless. She didn't even make it to 50 but gave us so much.

Book cover for MEM: a novel by Bethany C. Morrow. The title MEM is in large gold letters over a faint image of a vault door. The publishers logo, unnamed press, is in the bottom right corner.

'Mem' by @bethanycmorrow.com In the first quarter of the 1900s, a Montreal scientist can extract memories, as versions of their subjects frozen in a single moment in time. But, meet Dorothy Extract #1, the 1st memory extraction that can create its own memories

I think people keep hearing these tech bros talk about just stealing artists' work and none of the practical applications, so I get it. People think AI is just "make myself in Studio Ghibli style" or "Watch Will Smith eat pasta" - they're not being presented real, useful use cases.

We need to understand the tools to dismantle the power, for sure. I'm very worried about BIPOC, particularly Black folks, being left behind in this.

I teach accessible tech to nonprofits to support their work, including some AI tools. Very frequently I'm met with skepticism and fear to end with "Wow, it doesn't seem so scary. This is useful". I've used it to find, sort, and build health resource databases, criminal justice reform databases, etc.

Not sure if the puppy is Toto or Cynthia's 🤔

But the costumes for the movie look like they're going to be great!

Book cover for Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond. The title is in large red and white letters over dark, clawed hands reaching for a plantation style home with blood spatters in the background.

Feels like 2025 is my year to go back to a love of Vampires. First, 'Buffalo Hunter Hunter' by @sgj.bsky.social , Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' , and now 'Blood Slaves' by @markusredmond.bsky.social . What a year for horror!

YouTube video by The New York Times What We Saw at a Job Fair for ICE

Shame on any Black, Brown, or other BIPOC applying to be ICE officers. ICE is looking a lot like the Slave Patrol and I'm embarrassed seeing some of the faces taking part. I hope your families disown you. I hope your friends spite your name. How F'ing weak minded.

Why do I feel like next summer that record is getting broken...

Tired of explaining why I don't want to argue about "empathizing with conservatives". Another day, more tears from people who refuse to see why I'm not wasting energy on people that aren't starting at a base level that I, too, am a person. F that noise. I'm preserving my wrinkle free peace #BlackSky
