Kicking off #BHM reading with this audiobook about Jacquotte Delahaye, a Black woman pirate who may or may not have existed.
I enjoy reading about pirates & how they challenged gender, race, & class norms.

This movie and this book are gloriously dark vengeful siblings.
(‘I, Medusa’ by Ayana Gray is their cousin.)
If you enjoyed Robert Eggers’ take on New England folklore, definitely read Brom’s ‘Slewfoot.’

The 4 books I finished in January 2026. Started the year with vampires, romance, & mythology, all with an undercurrent of destroying the patriarchy.
The books I planned to read for #BHM are still on hold in Libby 😒, so I’m digging through my TBR for something they have available.

![[Verse 1]
Haven't I showed you how much I care all this time?
Didn't we make it here hand-in-hand, side-by-side?
Was I bein' true when I said my heart was yours?
Of course, of course, of course, of course, of course, of course
Do I think that the sun rises and sets on you?
Is this night gonna end next to you, sexin' you?
Can I see your soul through the windows of your eyes?
Of course, of course, of course, because they never lie Were you there when I was down and out and helped me out
Were you my peace through my grief? Too much loss to think about
And did you pick me up when I fell down to the floor?
Of course, of course, of course, you did all that and more](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jd5snpwtj3q5tshysaxpixnb/bafkreia6zvdmermaentvjirs5ygboxpdztrvmmbp5tmv3tdkjifinwvdce@jpeg)

And y’all already know I’m ready to geek out over S3 of #IWTV this year.
And the most fun part of this little vampire/monster revival in pop culture is that young people are getting interested in READING THE BOOKS. This pleases me greatly.

I feel spoiled, really. I devoured the Dracula & Frankenstein novels in middle school, & it’s fun to see them come alive on film with directors, costume designers, & actors/actresses who enjoy the source material.

I’m just hoping the precipitation is light and the temps get above 32 degrees quickly each morning. Our power lines & pipes can’t handle ice worth a damn. #HoustonWeather

Of course we got out to visit a park on this beautiful day. I was inspired by these 2 massive trees. At their tops were leaves still showing their autumn colors against this clear azure sky. Moving to their own rhythm.
And the Heights remains one of my favorite neighborhoods (whiteness aside). 🌳☀️

Making stew today. These fat carrots are going into the crock pot soon. Gonna experiment with sautéing the leaves. They smell so sweet & fresh!

Ok so…Am I being overzealous if my first impulse is to block accounts like this when they follow me? (I would rather “remove follower” but we don’t have that option.)
Only 8 posts & following 2800 people? That’s engagement farming/bot behavior, right? Or am I misinterpreting?

I do want to get my numbers up in 2026, but I think I read a decent mix of nonfiction, smut, horror, historical fiction, & fantasy in 2025.
I don’t track reference books (although maybe I should).
I’m aiming to read a wider variety this year. More poetry & science. #ZodiReads #BlackBookSky

I strongly recommend you read these 2 books in 2026. Both of them in tandem paint an irresistibly lush picture of West African history and mythology. #ZodiReads #BlackSky #BlackBookSky

I read/listened to 32, and I feel like this is a low number.
What a sad state of affairs. A population of people who only read 2 books annually?

Alright. Technically at work today. Gonna do a little bit then tidy up & make some lentils or black beans (I hate black-eyed peas), greens, & cornbread.
My cabbages aren’t ready to be harvested yet. But here are some sweet peppers I picked yesterday. #ZodiGardens

This Bethlehem festival was pretty cool. I became overstimulated (as typically happens when wrangling my kid in crowded places) but he had fun. There were all kinds of artisanal exhibits like pottery, weaving, papyrus, leatherwork, baking, etc. Even a camel!

After that gross surprise with the AI-narrated audiobook (shudder), I am diving into ‘The Seventh Veil of Salome’ tonight. This one has a whole human cast of narrators. 🎉
