For the first time ever I'm excited about Valentine's Day because Friday the 13th is right before, therefore, officially making this year's V-day spooky. Any recommendations on sultry horror romance movies/TV to watch this weekend?

#AffordableHousingthemovie was inspired by the true story of trying to find a cheap apartment. What's the craziest thing a building management company or broker had the nerve to request of you right out the gate? For me, it was six months of rent upfront. Chime in.

@sharai.bsky.social writes a funny and well timed article on why bad taste is the killer of good romance or any kind of sexy vibe.
A Black woman wrote this. Your welcome.

Remember: Pam Grier was the first woman action hero. Yes, a Black woman did that.

“What calculations can be made to demonstrate a loss of imagination? “

Yes. This.
News of the abrupt closure of the California College of the Arts and its acquisition by Vanderbilt University sent shockwaves through the Bay Area community. But we shouldn’t be surprised that San Francisco’s tech titans didn't step in to save it.
San Francisco's Tech Billionaires Don't Care About Your Art School
Behind the closure of the California College of the Arts is a widening wealth disparity that is now taking on national dimensions.

In Dec of 2023 Malik Yoba came to the set of my horror comedy short film. I talked to him, casually and calmly about my film and my plans. I fully freaked out days later. That film will premiere in Feb next year at the Winter Film Festival in NYC. I’m still freaking out.
I boarded a flight to LA from JFK and a tiny person in a big hoodie said, “You’re Roxane Gay” and I said I am and she said “I’m Zoe. it’s so nice to meet you, I’ve heard great things from Chan.”
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
