I'm in this weird in between place where I need to be in the know to protect myself in this shit ass political climate while recognizing that knowing negatively impacts my mental health.

I read the entire Project 2025. Here are the top 10 ways it would harm Black Americathegrio.com We read Project 2025 and compared it to Trump’s Agenda 47 to see what a second Trump administration has in store for Black America.

It's been almost 26 hours without power and we're under a heat advisory. Hanging out on the UofH campus charging devices. Praying the power is back by the time we go home. 🥹😬 Our fence is down. 😭😭 It's hawt. 🔥🔥🔥 And not in a good way.

I line up for a covid jab just as soon as the authorities say I'm eligible for one. You should too, if you can. (I have friends who can't get jabbed because they're immunosuppressed. I selfishly do not want them to get sick.)

I will absolutely be getting one, I have a book tour and international travel in the fall.

The year is 1986. The actress is Grace Jones. The movie is Vamp. I just KNOW it's not going to stand the test of time. But I'll watch it anyway.

It's been almost two years since I found my bebe Zorro. I love him to bits and pieces.

Woke up wanting pancakes. Made this instead. No regrets.

We're all excited But we don't know why Maybe it's 'cause We're all gonna die. And when we do What's it all for You better live now Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

I just saved this lil birb baby from Zorro.

So... Next season, I'm going to have to find a way to keep my tomatoes plants off the ground. They're huge and close together and I can't tell which is which. Some are on the ground and have clear lil nibbles. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Mr. Cinnamon Swirl came to share in Zorro's food. I am unintentionally becoming the cat club.

I believe these are sunflowers. Not yet flowered.

Not feeling my best today but trying to stay busy and productive. My garden is 50% food and 50% weeds.

Zorro has a buddy. I like to call this chonker Cinnamon Swirl. He's very handsome, sweet and cautious, but not scary skittish.

Look at the growth. Honestly it's almost too much for me to manage but I'ma try to lrune this stuff back a bit so I can see my tomatoes, some of which are laying on the ground being eaten by the bugs.

All the expensive ugly ass gowns and outfits (I love seeing them - it's a glamorous spectacular spectacle) costing 50 g just to go. It's excessive and pretentious and a little gross. People are doing their best to not look quite like themselves. It's a circus. www.instagram.com/reel/C6vJixY...

I'm Garrus Vakarian and this is my favorite spot on the Citadel.

A baby eggplant.

Old McDonald had a farm...

You’ve robbed a bank. Who is your getaway driver?

Tubi is definitely its own thing. I have no words for what Tubi is. I'm watching Lord of the Ring fanfic. I'm obsessed.

First harvest.

So... I've played just short of 600 hours in Cyberpunk 2077. And I love the cyberpunk aesthetic. This is a picture of the Eid gift The Baby gave me. 😍

The older I get, the more I hate wearing clothes. Not that I want to be naked, it's just I don't like the the way clothes feel. They rub, fold over, pinch, confine, get stuck between cheeks and rolls and never look as good as I'd imagined they would.

By now I'm sure it's obvious that Zorro is my heart. Just seeing him come around the corner brings me joy.

I was HONORED to be asked to narrate this. It does so much in such a small space and by the end you’re cheering but not too loudly because the road to the end should have never had to happen to begin with. Such a great story ❤️ Also, I think this story is a bright example of stories we NEED

Zorro is joining me.

Sitting in my messy garden, listening to sweet @mightymur.bsky.social on I Should Be Writing. This is a midpoint between staying home and going out. Hopefully the sun will burn away the blues. Also, I've got an adorable visitor.
