Hi, have you applied moisturizer to your skin recently? Winter can lead to painful itching and cracking. I like Cetaphil moisturizing cream and Aquaphor, but @jamellebouie.net also recommended cocoa and shea butter.

This is such a great thread 🙌🏾
Here's a fun question: what book and/or author do you now love because someone else put you on to them? For me, last year I was convinced to read Elmore Leonard's Swag (never read him before last year!) and I loved it. And Jordan Harper, also loved!
What about you?
What about you?
Someone sent me a friend request on Facebook and i know them but i don’t KNOW them. So i was hesitant to accept. But, i did. It’s FB. I’m not there very often and it’s not a big deal.
They just wanted to send me this message. And it made my whole day.

The avocado toast of 2026 is apparently rotisserie chicken, which is so common you can get it at the hot counter at Albertsons, and healthy juice which, again, readily available at any random grocery store.
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

I think the answer to this is: when the media reports on what Republicans say they want, many Republican voters say “well I don’t want that” and they trust their self perception over the actual words and deeds of Republican officials and assume the media is lying bsky.app/profile/jame...

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El Apagón it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago
Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I love watching the Olympics and absorbing the arbitrary standards. You end up watching a sport you are only dimly aware exists, frowning and saying, “Oo, that guy from Norway had his knees greater than 90 degrees, now he’s bronze at best.”

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
