Mel is haunting the narrative

Please help if you can 💜

Hey, it’s DJ! I know it’s been a minute but I had to come out of hiatus for this one: BNC Co-Founder, Brilliant Writer, and Community Builder @yanawroteit.bsky.social got her first book deal, y’all! 🎉

Really feeling the phrase joy is an act of resistance tonight

One of my most woke opinions: France needs to pay back all the money they made Haiti pay for their independence (with interest).

The way people don’t understand that it’s a privilege to not care about politics given everything that’s going on

There's a reason why Trump praised Hitler and runs concentration camps, why the KKK used his name on their recruitment flyers, why David Duke said he and Trump share the same message, why the KKK endorsed Trump, why Trump uses a KKK slogan, and why Trump uses ICE to commit KKK-worthy terrorism.

Rewatched the pilot of Interview with the Vampire this morning and it’s still so good! They really did such an amazing job casting Jacob and Sam

If we met this year I want to apologize. I’ve been depressed as fuck and basically forgot how to people

Love that I’ve taken zoom meetings with rollers in my hair or pimple patches

I told myself this October I would watch more scary movies yet here I am watching The Thing for the second time this month

Why yes I’ve had the Vampire Lestat extended first look on repeat and I’ve been passing it around to friends and strangers like have you heard the good word of these messy vampires

Helped my brother shop for a suit for the funeral. It looks really nice. If this is the only thing I end up accomplishing this week I’ll feel proud of at least taking care of one thing. I’ll save my speech for Monday

Grief on top of regular depression is a little too much to deal with for my poor meds. Maybe it’s time to finally watch Wicked

I’m really trying to get better at not apologizing for things that aren’t my fault but damn is it hard

There’s nothing like watching Alien: Romulus on an 8am flight

I’ve been going through some health and work issues so I’ve been isolating myself rather than reaching out. Finally taking a break and going on vacation next Friday so hopefully things will start looking up

Sad I’m missing Gally this weekend but the 3 tires I have to replace on top of the other car repairs are telling me it’s better I stay home

That feeling of going through a depressive episode and your therapist fails to show up for your session. Yup everything is going swell!

Trying very hard not to spiral every time I watch/read the news

Something I want to get better about in 2025: not spiraling after social interactions and thinking of everything stupid I said or did over and over again

I’ve never seen a group of actors that look like actual vampires than the cast of the Interview with the Vampire show

What I would’ve given to see Hayley sing Burning Down the House live

Finally finished updating my resume and cover letter (template)! If you know of anyone hiring remote gigs for someone with writing, photography, content creation, and social media strategy experience, please hit me up! Visit constar.media to see examples of my work.

I’ve been sick so I’m late to this but Assad, Delainey and especially Jacob deserve so much better

Watching Suga’s concert with my mom and she has moved 2 feet from the tv when JK came on 😂

Me every other chapter while reading Immortal Dark. That was a journey!

Reading a book where a character makes a mistake and then a bigger mistake and then and an even bigger mistake so now I have spend chapters yelling at the book while waiting for it all to catch up to them

Me trying to get through this week

For the next few weeks, you can pick up a pretty incredible ebook bundle of Ursula's work—up to 30 books!—and support Portland's Literary Arts in the process

Spoke to the cast & creator of the new Amazon Prime Video series #Cross! Check it out our convo here: youtu.be/ny4VrA6_-cE?...

Watching Winter Soldier and remembering seeing it with @countessmary.bsky.social and having the best time

When I say this movie had a formative effect on me when it was released. I have never recovered

I took a gummy and watched The Fellowship of the Ring extended edition last night and the way my anxiety calmed down for the first time in weeks. I needed that

Declaring yourself a “safe” person or “ally” has the opposite affect for me. If you’re truly “safe” or an “ally” you’ll prove that by doing the work; not stating it. Seeing so many folks declaring they are “safe” for marginalized folks to be around makes me weary & wary.

Is it me or do fandoms seem to be getting more toxic and I’m not talking about just big ones like Star Wars? Like even mid size ones too

Still trying to figure things out #AddToBlackSky

I'll always respect people that got into Sailor Moon in the mid 90s. That series came on at like 5:30 AM and had only the slightest trickle of a marketing push. You had to WANT to be a fan of Sailor Moon.

After the 2016 election one of the ways I coped was listening to A Seat at the Table non stop. Think that’s going to be my album of the day

After the kind of week this has been I think I deserve a cheese plate as big as a king sized pillow and I don’t care if it fucks up my system

When you’re upset about reality, turn to your coping mechanism show and then that betrays you too

Me and my fellow Black queer coworker sitting there dead faced telling each other we wished we called in sick today while our white coworkers joked and laughed and had a great time in company meeting this morning

My therapist canceled on me today so yes I am day drinking on a Monday

My anxiety is off the charts. I’m sitting here trying to calm down with a mixed drink and a movie while I wonder why the fuck I have to work this week

I just love it when someone can’t describe something they’re watching or reading without including major spoilers with no warning 🙄
