Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the American police system was literally built on the policing of Brown and Black bodies.

This is nothing new. We’ve always known that our very existence was a threat to the system.

#angelineboulley is such an inspiration. I love how she has woven her novels together w/o creating a trilogy. As a #girldad, I love these protagonists, such smart and confident young women. As a fellow Gen-Xer whose first novel was published in this decade, she gives me hope for my creative self.

Libraries are so cool. Whenever I'm away from home and need a place to hang out between things, I find a library. There's a bathroom, a water fountain, chairs, and I can read, meditate, use the computers, or just be, and no one tries me make me buy anything.

This is one of the oldest photos of my mom(upper left), probably 10. That makes this her 101st bday.

Sept is filled with alot for me, beginning with her death (9/8) & ending with her birth (9/22). She also struggled with trauma but she was cool, beautiful, stylish, & loving. Jai-san forever.

Buy the movie.
Use the library.

He was everything and more. The concert was everything and more. Stevie exuded such coolness & power. His volume & tone were unreal. I’m think I felt the air he was moving from his amps behind plexis. Amazing in so many ways.

Please find something that moves you like he and his music moved me!

41 yrs ago, 2 days after we buried my mom, & 1 day b4 my 17th bday I was going to my 1st concert!!! I was gonna get to see this mystical man, this beacon of coolness.

Wish I still had the sleeveless t-shirt that I had his declaration that β€œGod made Jimi and Jimi made music.” airbrushed on the back.

I adore the public library. I just put 15 picture books on hold for my kiddo, on trains (current obsession) and beaches (first visit soon). We'll pick them up after they're all gathered at our branch. This is free!

You all know this, I just feel the need to say it out loud occasionally.

Such a good band and a great bunch of guys. I've been a mule fan for all 30 years, which blows my mind to contemplate.

Ban gas-powered leaf blowers and gardening tools. I am in the 40th minute of listening to this shit for a property that isn't even that big. Even with noise-canceling headphones, it's crap.

Ban ICE and ICE (internal combustion engines).

I'm doing a lunch-and-learn about a topic dear to my heart: Nashville's Civil War Fort Negley. Enslaved and free Black people built and defended it to achieve citizenship after centuries of race-based slavery. It went from being a ruin to a UNESCO site through decades of careful public stewardship.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
