The state of the outdoors today...the mud lake that is my yard...the thunderstorm that woke me up at 1 a.m. in February...
I am disgusted. This winter is disgusting.

The amount of times I have to stop myself from saying β€œfigure it out” to adults is wild. I extend a lot of grace but baby I need for you to……*whispers* figure it out.

Still no information from ICE on the 4 Oglala citizens allegedly illegally detained last month.

Steely Dan Donal Fagen? God I love Steely Dan. I think they're average problematic for that era. At least their hit was "Hey Nineteen" instead of "Hey any age that comes before that and is illegal".

Learning today it wasn't the absolute uselessness of the AI tool, but instead my poor lefty attitude that has led me to this place of disappointment.

Delighted to have contributed to the Detroit Public Library’s African American Booklist this year, which features a terrific profile of @authormsbev.bsky.social and a history of Black romance by my friend Dr. Nicole Jackson! d2qp1eesgvzzix.cloudfront.net/uploads/imag...

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

People not used to driving in snow REALLY aren't used to it lol. A younger friend thought she could drive her Impreza wagon through almost a foot of snow cause "it has 4 wheel drive." AWD and 4WD aren't the same, and you can't drive a car with 5" clearance over a foot of anything.

yinz stay safe. there have been several credible reports of ICE in dragging people out of their cars in uptown and camping out at upmc mercy. remember to call the casa san jose emergency response hotline (412 736 7167) if you see ICE activity.

With the election of Larry Fitzgerald to the Hall of Fame, Pitt is tied with Michigan for producing 11 Pro Football Hall of Famers.

Only Notre Dame and USC have more Pro Football Hall of Famers, each with 14.
