Different Brushstrokes

#TheWhiteFence Saw a post saying that writers post their books without talking about what they are about, so I thought I'd talk about my book. The easy response: TWF is about falling in love for the first time set against the back drop of the civil rights /1 www.amazon.com/White-Fence-...

Louder Please!

Reminder to liberals and Dems during this time: you can celebrate the death of Lindsay Graham without throwing spares at the LGBTQ community.

Why do we keep electing people to office who act like they are powerless to do anything about corruption? Adam Schiff is posting "Trump is wasting your governement dollars" as if we're the ones who are making $174,000 a year to do something about it.

Not speaking ill of the dead is prioritizing a person's reputation over their victims peace of mind.

With Lindsay Graham, and (eventually) Mitch McConnell's passing, democratic members of the House and Senate will talk about how he was a colleague, some might even call them friends, and therein lies the problem. Dem leadership sees Graham and McConnell as friends, not enemies of the republic.

Most of what we call "AI" is the equivalent of that person who always insists on interrupt you when you're telling a story, and then you have to go back and correct what they inserted. "So I was going to-," "The movies. Yeah me, too. I saw" "No, the bank." "You made a withdrawal, too" "No."

I really wish some one would fund a billboard campaign along every highway in America that says, "You struggle to pay your fare share of taxes, why should big businesses not have to?

I was sexually harassed/assaulted by my roommate, in front of my other roommates, and when I asked if they would support me if I brought charges, they said no. Remember this when you ask why it took them so long to come forward.

Every day you should try to be more like a cat: hyper-focused, but not afraid to momentarily abandon a hunt until every hair on your arm is in place.

The "All Lives Matter" crowd has been suspiciously quiet lately.

Join me and my cat as we learn about the Harlem Renaissance and build with Legos! youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk?...

Think you know everything about the Harlem Renaissance? Think again! youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk?...

Start off black history month right: with Legos! I talk about the Harlem Renaissance and put together the Lego Jazz Ensemble! youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk?... #BlackHistoryMonth #Legos #Jazz

Now you see in real time the “just comply” argument when you said with your own eyes them executing that man…

We asked in 1938, can the state stop lynch mobs from lynching. In 2026, the question needs to be asked again. Can the state stop lynch mobs from killing American citizens?

How do you stop your soul from hurting day in and day out?

Starting to think that the reason media is so keen on using AI to write news stories is because the people with a conscious have either been fired or have quit by now.

Legos, Harlem Renaissance, and cute cats. Need I say anything more? youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk?... #booksky

Had to limit my social media intact because it was bad for my mental health. Came back today and see videos of ICE detaining 5 year olds, and signs being taken down that talk about slavery.

Did you know that there weren't public schools for white people until after slavery ended? Black History is American History. youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk

Trump's Board of Peace reminds me of this:

Did you know you can learn about Black History when it's not Black History month? I'm shocked too! But if you would like to learn a little bit more about the Harlem Renaissance, check out my YouTube Channel! youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk

Need a break from your week? Like Legos? Literature, or both, and want to learn more about the Harlem Renaissance? My inaugural video for my channel, Legos & Literature, has just dropped! Check it out here: youtu.be/g9x8mgYAnOk

Every time someone says that [fill in brown country here] is full of greedy, war mongering people who institute religious regimes that are harmful to minorities, I am reminded that there have only been 29 years in our nation's history where we were not at war with another country.

The CNN article about Rob Reiner is full of AI Slop, and switches tenses in the same paragraph. Is this the best we can do, now?

After driving in the Bay, including San Francisco, I have come to the conclusion that if you want to stop your cities from smelling like urine, maybe try providing public bathrooms for people to pee in.

Good morning, just a friendly reminder to be kind to others, and give yourself grace. That is all.

Reposting for anyone who needs to see this again.

Todays News: A temple of stolen objects from other countries had some of their items stolen, and part of a house that was constructed by slaves was demolished.

Took a break from social media to focus on my mental health. Came back today, and I need another break.

I did a thing, so if you’re scrolling through and just want a little positivity in your day, check out my YouTube Channel! youtu.be/uUWa7xO_xL8?...

This is why racism is a cancer. They have been perfecting this for years, and black people saw it, and warned people, but because we (black people) were the targets it was ignored. You don’t Trump overnight, you set the infrastructure in place using a Trojan Horse dog whistles.

Charlie Kirk being able to say whatever he likes is protecting the first amendment, but Jimmy Kimmel’s firing is….

My poem, “Blind Spots” is all about how the media narrative shifts and how we are conditioned to blame minorities for the violence that is enacted upon them. Watch and Share. youtu.be/iHhF8hOLoC0?...

And this is exactly why we should never placate the right wing. They don’t care about facts or reality, they care about spreading hate, and every time a liberal/leftist/Dem says we should be “divisive” while they’re dividing the country up just helps the right wing win.

I can think of no more just outcome than for Charlie Kirk to be swiftly forgotten by his so-called friends because the person who killed him didn't make him as useful a tool in death as he was in life.

We are losing because the right is calling for our deaths and the left is just like, “Let’s just hear them out. I don’t think they mean it the way that they say."

How many political people right now will try to tell you that violence is never the answer, but will continue to vote for more wars?

Buckle Up, you’re about to see a lot of right leaning Democrats condemn the actions of a man who would sooner tell his listeners and followers to kill them, then he would agree with them, and not because he believes what he’s saying, but because he knows if he says it, it makes money.

The problems in this country didn’t begin with Trump, and they won’t end with him either. Unless we are willing to actually look at truth and respond accordingly, we will remain fractured as a country. Charlie Kirk is an example of the very rhetoric that costs people their lives.

The Civil War would also like a word...

We are rich people’s wealth. Without us, everything they have, do, or own would fail. We make up their cleaners, their workers, their police, their educators, their chefs, their cooks. Labor is what drives the world. We need to start remembering that.

In the entire nearly 250 years as a country, America has only been at peace for 17 years. We don’t talk enough about how violent America is as a country.

Don’t be fooled, they have definitely been in full effect harassing the homeless and the vulnerable.
