Sister of the Yam

If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself.

Watching Bernice call on her ancestors … oh my goodness.

Probably explains why I’m STILL seeing political ads on the old bird app.

Very Dystopian. Sadly, his supporters lack ability to grasp this concept. 📺📡🤖

Netflix is so wild to me. There’s a first rate production of August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson” starring Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Deadwyler and John David Washington and I only know about it because of a post on BlueSky.

Like, I’m watching it now while reading along and it’s BRILLIANT.

If those in power now, standby & do nothing… well, I think that says something.

Great list. I’d also add Sisters of the Yam by Bell Hooks!
