The @therapyforblackgirls.com podcast is one I listen to regularly. I appreciated the topic of this episode: the impact of weathering (i.e. living a life impacted by race-gendered actions and disparities) on Black women and their health. therapyforblackgirls.com/2026/07/29/s... #TBGinSession

My new recurring dream theme. What city am I in? What hotel is this? What book event is today? Am I in the right city for the day’s event? When I wake up, I check the calendar on my phone to make sure I’m not missing a book event. When I wake up in my bed, I’m relieved. 💜🌈📚 #AuthorSky #BookSky

Trying the Trader Joe’s Seafood Boil from their freezer section for first time. A perfect serving for a solo grocery shopper. Not bad for $9.99 (I think that’s what I paid for it). Scratches the seafood itch so I don’t go outside and spend $50 on a comparable dish. 🍤🥔🌽🦀 #TraderJoes #FoodSky

The freaking AI-bots & their author "invitations" -- to participate in events, to publicize, to consult -- are getting slicker & harder to distinguish from legit invitations. I was *this* close to clicking and/or saying yes to one, and then my discernment and intuition kicked in. #AuthorSky
