A friend did her big one & got me & the crew tickets to see “MJ” on Broadway while I’m there. My first actual Broadway show. I’m AMPED!!!! To see the King of Pop musical - hell yes!!!

Because i believe that even poor kids have the right to a good education
Even disabled kids, esp. those who check the boxes listed. (Read the thread for the rest of Solomon's thoughts, which I agree with.)

Sharing the highlights from my Tampa trip. I had an incredible time. What a way to ring in my birthday, that’s tomorrow.
Tampa owes me nothing. What a great time. But I’m glad to be home to celebrate my birthday this week. The pregame of Tampa was worth it!
Was outside for Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour. It was a grand time. Bruno never disappoints.
Another pan icon to love! Pan babes >>> (Says this Pan babe.)
NOH8 Campaign@noh8campaign.bsky.social · 4w agoGillian Anderson shared that she identifies as pansexual, saying in a new interview, “Pan, as in pansexual, as in attracted to all genders.” Anderson has spoken openly about her attraction to women and sexual fluidity for years, and now says pansexual is the label that fits her #NOH8
I’m officially OOO!!! Work, emails, & such have been sent & responded to. If it’s not “Happy Birthday,” keep it! Any drama or foolishness that may occur - keep it. I don’t care. I’ll be back in motion on 9/22. Until then - this Virgo is ✌🏾& is having BIG FUN.
The girls gotta realize that this ain’t our Grandmothers’ era - they can test for poisonings. If you listen to true crime, you already know this isn’t a good idea. The robbing though? Here for it.

I'm in-between speaking agencies, & the one booking a Boston speaking gig asked me if I had a rider. I said no, but I'd love to create one. Man... this feels like a big girl moment by finally creating one. These are good questions, btw, that they sent. New things in this work season, indeed.
As Fall season draws near, it's time to add new reads to our bookshelves. This month, I discuss a new book by two comrades I respect, Dr. Natasha Thomas and Dr. Adenike Webb. Read, subscribe, & share! vilissas-newsletter.beehiiv.com/p/simmer-dow... #Books #BlackAuthors #FallSeason
The last class of the Sundance course for Intro to Documentary has ended. I feel so empowered & prepared to take on this new endeavor. Hearing folks’ doc ideas & getting a good overview of this industry that’ll be new to me were perfect. Time to make documentary magic.
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Addendum - When I say popular, I mean worldwide popularity. Even if you don’t listen to their music, you know who they are. Ray Charles is an example of such a disabled musician. Trying to know of a white visibly disabled musician who had similar success & notoriety BEFORE 1975.
Vilissa Thompson@vilissathompson.bsky.social · 2mo agoAsking a #music + #disability question for research I’m doing - What are some white, visibly disabled musicians that were popular/beloved before 1975? When I say VISIBLY, I mean that we can literally see that they’re disabled. No non-apparent/hidden/invisible disability - VISIBLE. TIA!

One thing I'll never age out of - loving when female rappers talk shit about men & money in their songs. Kash Doll's "NWM" is my dating vibe. Between this & "AH HA" by Cardi B.... the girls are giving me LIFE. Entering my terror era as I dive back into dating. LOL.
I got a cool art idea rolling in my head. By 2028, gotta get serious about painting to bring it to life. 2027 is the writing year, so it’s on hold. But the images of the art in my head that I can see - gotta write it down. Several paintings. Gotta make it happen in a couple of years.
The short girl slander hurts my feelings to read. Call that lady daddy & she might share.
Solomon@solomonrmissouri.com · 2mo agoI’m not calling her daddy I’m not calling a person that has to stand on the counter to access the shelves “daddy”
A much needed word on this Friday.
Solomon@solomonrmissouri.com · 2mo agoMan listen… Make sure your people are good
