“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

It did try to warn us, didn't it?

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

Amen and ameen!

(I've been saying to myself all week that we Americans need to realize that other countries aren't just failed attempts at being or becoming us... we're being left far behind, and the world is moving on without us at the center...)

Other cultures and societies around the world have a long-term view. The U.S. does not.

Ancient Iran (Persia) has roots stretching back to the 5th millennium BC.

Yep, of course! I loved it but adored the version @ the Brit Awards.

Her live versions are SO much better than the record. I prefer them, to be honest.

She has such a soul and jazz heart. Truly. And talent for days!

I've rewound the last 45 seconds of this about five times.

My Lord and my God. Soul music ain't dead yet!

Raye sang her FACE off on this live performance of "Nightingale Lane." She's healing my Amy Winehouse-loving heart (and achy lungs!) right now.

Can't wait for her album later this month - "This Music May Contain Hope." Get into her catalog and thank me later!

Close-up profile of pelican with bright blue eye. It’s breeding horn is evident on its bill. The background is frothy water.

Putting in my bet on this year’s American White Pelican arrival in Saskatoon (it’s an annual event - there are prizes!) has me thinking about how much I’m looking forward to seeing those gigantic prehistoric weirdos again. Can’t wait #birds

This is some straight up cartoon supervillain shit

a public utility does not need to turn a profit. this is intentional.

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

Lived long enough to see the country honor his efforts by…shitting on them

Again, we’re losing the civil rights generation right as the conservative movement is actively and gleefully putting their accomplishments through the paper shredder

Bernard LaFayette, Selma voting rights organizer, has died Voting rights organizer Bernard LaFayette has died. LaFayette's son says his father died Thursday morning of a heart attack. He was 85.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

👍🏻 what I’ve come to think of as Variety Pack television. Each season could have a whole bunch of different tones, Spotlights, character-focused episodes, moral dilemmas—you really just got a Whitman sampler type of thing. now it’s just, here’s everything mashed into 8 or 10, whether or not it works

…

Not as if we really had a choice in the overall social media sphere considering everywhere else but Black folks were 110% right to be hesitant to move here.

*taps the Blacksky addy* …as well as carving out our own space to boot.

Importantly they are planning to hire these people on 2 year contracts so what actually happened is they fired everyone so they could rehire them with worse working conditions and an easy revolving door with industry 🫩 🔭

A basic organizer for your desk designed to hold a bullet journal or planner (5.5x8 or 6x9 fit best, but larger notebooks will probably work as well!) It has a slot in the back for a journal, four containers for pens and markers, a smaller slot designed for stickers, postcards, or sticky notes, and three cubbies in the front that can fit paperclips, washi tape, stickers, or anything small you need to keep organized!

Good morning! 18 days left until surgery, so we're back to Sell All the Things so Bree has to close the shop and actually take time off to heal. (Ugh sounds terrible tbh, but here we are.)

We have 8 different colors of journal/planner stand back in stock today!

she is absolutely not.

It’s entirely possible that this was at least partially about ending their association w/black and queer people. Now they will try to rebuild as the “safe” third space, by which they mean a space where white people feel safe.

The problem is the usual one. We make shit cool.
