I can't see why anyone would have a problem with this, especially since a convicted felon will soon be sworn in as President. I hope this passes! It's only right.

Welcome home! Help! I don't get the punchline, lol.

We don't need Harvard. We never did. We have our HBCUs.

The semicolon works for a research paper or a non-fiction essay, but it doesn't work in fiction at all, does it? I think it's better to revise the sentence to eliminate the need for one, but that's just my view.

The verdict acquitting Daniel Penny, the cock-eyed murderer or #JordanNeely is disgusting, obscene. I'm angry but not shocked.

If you remember, Road Runner got through the tunnel, but when Wiley Coyote tried to follow him, he smashed into the wall! Lol...

The Mayor does not want to. He'll find a way to fund it.

Remember December 1, 1955! Mrs. Rosa Parks sparked the Civil Rights movement with the word "No." Our ancestors fought fascism with dignity, purpose, strategy, and resolve. Never let anyone deny our history or reduce it to a supplementary pamphlet in somebody else's story. Africa!

She is a master of narrative voice, isn't she?

Today my book club is discussing "Neighbors and Other Short Stories" by Diane Oliver (July 28, 1943- May 21, 1966). This is one of the best things I've read in 2024. I've read it twice already. Miss Oliver died in an accident at age 22--already a powerhouse. #upallnightreading

Is she still on that? Sheesh!

The Book of Clarence, definitely!

A little taste of African culture sent to you with love from your brothers in Chicago!

The problem is the Dems did not register enough voters this time, not like the other side did.

How I look at people who don't support local books elders. You see what I did there? 😁

It's good to see you!

Actor Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax conviction overturned by Illinois Supreme Court The state's highest court ruled a special prosecutor's decision to re-indict Smollett violated his constitutional rights after Cook County prosecutors previously dropped charges against him.

But this dude lied, though.

California police release details of Pete Hegseth sexual assault report Police released more details from a 2017 investigation into sexual assault allegations tied to Pete Hegseth, tapped to lead the Defense Department.

This is the proposed Sec of Defense. Let's be honest--he probably isn't the first wiith such tendencies. America is through pretending. They're like, "Hey ,at this point, the stakes are too high to play games."

45/47 wants to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits, which are food stamps. Most people who receive SNAP benefits are yt folk. I wonder how many of the yt SNAP benefit recipients or the cousins of recipients voted for 45/47. #Wetriedtotellyou

My thoughts exactly.

Physical books for me. It's a relationship. I must touch them, hold them. I love the smell of new pages when I open them. Once I've read a book, I'll sometimes listen to the audio book if it's read by the author to see how lines are meant to be read by the creator, compared to how I read them.

Yep. They want Black people to help them understand how the racist system they built works, then take them in our arms and rock them and comfort them. "Doan yuh wurry, chile. Eberythang gon' be alright." Nope! Let's focus that effort and energy on our community. We need each other.

☺️

I knew this would happen. I came here following people from the other place, but I'm already seeing those disgusting yt nationalists here. They're so miserable they have to bother others. Black people know this. During segregation, we built our own thriving, fly towns, and yt folk stalked us.

This is it! Let's follow suit.

They talking about us, y'all. The social media migration.

Nice to see you!
