Not me saving this because the song is a bop

Happy ‘Sinners’ Day!

One year ago, Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners,’ released in theaters.

Them: Oh you're a writer? What are you writing??

Me: Chaos.

I love how much these humans love each other, how much they love their families, love our planet, our moon, our universe.. it’s beautiful to see.. #ArtemisII

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

Suddenly and for no apparent reason, I would very much like a hug from a manatee 🤗🤗

This is ssooo good and makes me think even more about what this show is saying about love, humanity, and community ❤️

I'm currently standing in a library, aka the happiest place on earth... I haven't visited this branch in over seven years because I married and moved to a different branch. One of the librarians just saw me and said, "How are you? I haven't seen you."
Libraries are a place to belong 💕💕

Clarice Phelps is the first Black woman credited with discovering a periodic element, Tennessine (Element 117). She works at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and now mentors the next generation. Black women belong in STEM. When we see ourselves in science, we know we belong there too.

And tomorrow will be even crazier. Whew get me outta here 🤭

If I wrote an account of my day out as a scene in my novel, my agent would flag it as unrealistic and ask for edits...
And you know what? Same.
I cannot (and will not) make this stuff up 😩😩

What once felt scattered now knows where it belongs.
This chapter is less about proving yourself and more about living in alignment. You are building with intention now.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections.

Here you go, I list and explain them one by one.

Aaannnd we're back. I'm glad I resolved it but my what a jump-scare. 😔🤭

I wrote most of my last draft in Scrivener. Luckily, I copied it all to Word because now Scrivener can't find the draft or any of my research notes. This is an epic fantasy novel based in mythology with present-day worshippers. All my research. Gone.
I am not panicking but I am not happy, either.

Amazing, congratulations 🎊 👏🏾

During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4

This morning: slipped on ice

Now: icing my whole body 😩

I'm still here...deeply focused on revisions and...oh yes, the winter storm that has us eating by candlelight tonight. It's actually kinda romantic, except my kids are here too. So it's mostly crisis management 🙃 🤪

#BackInTheFabLane had me feeling a way...a good way.

I love a good ostentatious, luxurious lifestyles of yada yada type of moment...and this was done just so

Plus, nostalgia: Baby Phat + the girls + mild ex drama.

If we're not getting a second Crazy, Rich Asians, at least Kimora came thru 🫶🏾

My boundaries stayed firm and intact for yet another holiday season. And it has been the merriest yet. I wish I had learned this a decade ago 😩

Merry Christmas!! 🎄 🎁 🎄
I hope it is filled with joy and love and PEACE above all.
You don't owe anybody anything. Protect your peace and make good memories. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

Happy Negro Solstice to all who celebrate. And remember to keep those powers quiet unless you want them in your business, Beloved.
