Book title for Kings and Pawns: Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson in America by Howard Bryant.
Currently reading this book, I was lucky enough to get on the waiting list early at my library for the audiobook. I definitely recommend it to everyone. The Narrator is J.D Jackson for those who are fans. #books #reading
That makes sense, I'm in bed at 11pm. I'm baffled by the let's go out at 10pm people. What?
Be thankful that they fit. It really hurts to put on real pants (American) for the first time in a while and then not be able to button them.
The club? My 42 year old ass was very confused by the lack of book after the word club. So I wasn't sure until I re read the sentence why it was so awesome!!
An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

I haven't thought about Ricky Martin since he broke my heart in the late 90s, but did I instantly recognize him while watching the Amazing halftime show staring Bad Bunny? Yes! And he is still 🔥
An image of a black cat sitting almost under a Christmas Tree acting very suspicious and giving the side eye. The tree is freshly cut and hasn't been decorated yet.
Quick question for the room, those who have a living Christmas Tree and also have pets. Do you have to water your tree extra because your pet has come to understand that the tree is just a new water bowl and gets mad when it's not filled ? Asking for me, myself and I.
A picture of the Arc copy of The People's Project. Curated by Saeed Jones and Maggie Smith. The cover is has an slightly off white boarded with a bright sky blue center. All the names of the contributors to the collection are written around the boarder.

My library hold for Blood in the Water by #tiffanyD.Jackson just came in and I thought why not take a peek even though I'm falling asleep. Oh I'm hooked at the prologue! Mistakes will be made tonight.
I just noticed a notification from Tok Tik from this day in 2023 asking if I wanted to share it. It was a mid May reading update. I had read 14 books by mid May. Me two years ago is a a$$hole. #bookbsy #enjoytoday
Can we get +2 for having it on our TBR, +5 if we have a physical, digital or audio copy either owned or on hold at the library and +10 if we started it? 😉

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books
Currently reading Invisible Rulers on audio book and the author just listed a few influencers that "you may not have heard of if your over 25" and Candice Owens was one of them. Seriously? Owens is 35, and unless you pay no attention to politics you know who she is. #booktok #reading
