@roxanegay.bsky.social years ago (like 2012) I use to subscribe to Letters In The Mail by The Rumpus... is that still a thing? I would love to join up again. Who doesn't love reading letters :)

A little of this, and a little of that. I enjoy books, Star Trek TNG, sci-fi, regency romance, technology, aviation, 90s-2000s hip hop, & most things nerdy. I will probably like all things posted about Toni Morrison, Tracy Chapman or James Baldwin #Philly
Sitting on my porch in Philly.... I can hear the jet planes circling for the #AllStarGame #MLB.
MLB All Star Week is in Philly.I think it starts today & sitting on my porch I've easily just heard at least 8 jet planes fly over overhead (unless it's the same jet circling) before the start of the show.While it's impressive it's also crazy loud, I can't imagine what a sonic boom sounds/feels like
@theedogg.blacksky.app Hi! Where can I read the rest of your bio? Dawn is one of my favorite novels and now see all alien "abductions" as being rescuing...
"I’m comfortably asocial — a hermit in the middle of a large city, a pessimist if I’m not careful, a feminist, a Black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty and drive.” - Octavia E. Butler #HappyBirthday
In my quest to own physical media that matters to me, since the streaming and leasing model of digital media is “sus” (as the kids say), here are my latest acquisitions. Star Trek Deep Space Nine (Complete Series), SpongeBob SquarePants (S1-2) and Eyes on the Prize - America's Civil Rights Years.
This is what Du Bois meant when he said Black America stepped briefly into the sun and then fell under the veil.
Still one of my favorite ads. The music, the dancing, the diversity, the clothes, the youthfulness…ugh, I’ve watched it soooo many times. youtu.be/g_l-ps0Hrv4?...

The duality of humanity never fails to amaze and vex me. We literally have humans flying in a spaceship near the moon (furthest ever in space) and fighting wars on Earth. And here I am, on the couch, watching both.

It feels like the majority of knowledge I gained from social studies classes in middle school about civics and American government is useless now. I was promised three branches of government and checks and balances.
Scene: In bed, Sunday morning. Camille has been lying on her side, scrolling on Instagram. A film bloopers account catches her fancy. She hasn’t moved in 45 minutes. She is not strong enough to fight the algorithms. The dark patterns consume some of our most skilled players.
I’m starting to think more people should understand/experience not everything works out the way you want it, and yet life still goes on. We can’t force labor on someone. I’d love to read new ones but the others already gave me much joy.
IGN@ign.com · 8mo agoGeorge R.R. Martin has said that if he never completes Game of Thrones sequel Winds of Winter (or the book after that), there's no plan for anyone else to step in. Instead, his Song of Ice and Fire series simply "won't be finished."
FYI for the train nerds (which includes my son who’s obsessed w/ trains & Big Boy is his favorite). The largest steam engine in the world will go on tour in 2026. A pretty big deal in the train world. I’ll definitely make sure I see it in person. #trains #locomotive www.9news.com/article/life...
Big Boy No. 4014 will return to the rails in a 'big way' in 2026

I always feel a bit silly making inconsequential posts when so much is happening in the world… but then again, there’s _always_ so much happening in the world, so I might as well embrace a little whimsy. Anywho, I’m making progress on my latest LEGO endeavor. #StarTrek #lego #TNG #Enterprise
Happy Kwanzaa! ✊🏾 I hope everyone finds their tribe and community this season. Life is much easier when you travel together and have support. You’ll be surprised how many people want to help and are rooting for your success (I’m rooting for you!). 🕯️
So here’s my priority hobby for the next two weeks (or months). I finished the Shuttle, next up Thee Enterprise. #lego #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration
My Spotify year in review is accurate. I had an OBSESSION with the Sinners soundtrack for a good two months after seeing the movie three times. And yeah, I ❤️ Tracy Chapman. But! clearly The Arthur Podcast is not my favorite #kids #Algorithm #Spotify #Sinners

Finished the first episode of Plur1bus… yup, you got me. Totally right up my alley.
For the last 13 years we’ve had a robot on the PLANET Mars (it was a 352 MILLION mile journey). We get damn near daily photos from the SURFACE of Mars… and yet…
Hear me out: go register a domain, build a blog, make RSS available — and let’s bring Google Reader back. Yeah, I want the internet to feel like it’s 2009 again.
Definitely enjoying this season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds but what’s up with these wigs… it’s almost like they are bad on purpose.
Saw the new Superman movie and really enjoyed it. There’s something timeless about Superman…the hope, the clarity, the belief in doing the right thing, even when it’s hard. This one felt closer to the original ‘79 film to me than other iterations. #Superman
