Anyone seen the cryptic NYC billboard ad for next year's Spielberg #movie?

It's a #UFO #film — and I'm already WAY too excited 😃

Thanks to @alejandroxpadi on X for sharing this photo.

#Booksky #Filmsky, this was a fascinating look into what makes your favorite main characters tick! 😀 So cool to see them all listed by MBTI personality type -- it may even inspire your next draft, as one tries to hone one's characters into their most compelling form! My Sister's article👇🏾😊:

Wunmi Mosaku has long been one of the most quietly powerful performers working today, but with her commanding turn in Sinners, she steps into the spotlight as a clear and compelling contender for Best Supporting Actress.

In case you missed it, Jamaica has won a gold medal in bobsled!

Shane Pitter and his 4-man team slid to gold in the second North American Cup race in Whistler in Pitter's 6th 4-man race as a pilot, beating out a pretty experienced field in the process.

It can't be overstated how horrifying it is that this was actlly being plotted.

This is what can happen when the #education system refuses to take a ethical stand that condemns past actrocities.

Goodnight my #bluesky friends! I leave you with one more for #MossyMonday!💚🌿💚

“Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are caused by too much future, and not enough presence.”

- Eckhart Tolle

#meditate #eastcoastkin #photography #nature #islandlife #sunset #moss #ALTpoetry
Twilight lingers, glowing embers, dwindling sunset sky. Mossy bedrock, leafless branches, kaleidoscope clouds sail by. These are the things I see when I stare, i repeat them, so my mind stays aware. Mindfulness mantra meditation, melding my minds medication. Inhale, exhale, inhale once more, I close my eyes and drift from shore. A vagrant soul in a vast universe, searching for meaning, in which, to immerse.
