A black woman is the antithesis of who and what Donald Trump is. So, of course, he wants her fired. What a fucking pussy.

I love Jon. Not when he tries to be a comedian [which he probably is, although an awful actor] but when we speaks from the heart. No one comes close to him. I missed that from 2015 to 2025.
Someone posted on reddit how we would have moved on by now if Kirk was a 6 year old. Tragic.

I stood with PBS & NPR by donating a $100 for each few weeks back. I stood with Stephen Colbert & Jimmy Kimmel by cutting ties with Hulu yesterday I stood with the 1st Amendment by voting Democrat in the 3 elections I was allowed to vote in. What more? Blood?! I vote 👍 on #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Go for it.
I didnt mind my country. Had to come because my husband was here. Anywho, ahead of you on the boycotting. Cut my ties with Hulu yesterday. Read what it says at the bottom of image.
Yeah, I am a black woman and a naturalized citizen with two people who depend on me for survival. So I would sit that one out. My white bretheren and sisters can afford to stand tall and be heros though. Be on the right side of history and what is right, for once.
No, I think that is in the books already. The worst outcome of this is no fair hearing. No legal battles. Guantanamo, babe.
I wonder what all those people who found Hilary Clinton not-left-enough/not pute enough would say when they found out how their throwing their vote and voting for a 3rd party candidate brought this country/this democracy down. America, your patriots are designated terrorist now.
That would be a best case scenario.
I dont remember the last time an Antifa member shoot up a school room full of children, or a grocery store, a church or a synagogue.
Just cancelled my Hulu subscription. They actually do ask why you cancelled. I wrote Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.
"Standing with" includes doing more than typing on a keyboard. This is equivalent to giving "thoughts and prayers" on gun control issues.

He is looking more and more like a young Woody Allen.
2 many hippies in that one. 😁. But, yeah, it is👍. Forgot "The Silk Worm". That is a great one, too. Not a fan of Career of Evil or The Running Grave. CoE has the author trying to make us c the world as a serial killer would. Always a bad idea. The later has 2 much Robin in it. Liking her less & less
You mean this guy? Thought they were friends. 😞 youtu.be/jMbLjJjRhgs?...
What a fucking dirt.
JD Vance is an embarassment to the people of Appalachia.
I used to love Steven Colbert on The Daily Show. Didnt care for the late night one. Still, what a loss!
This is some bullshit. McClarnon, if not the director too, should have won.
It looks like Ge'ez alphabet meaning AJAB. So Ethiopian!
Dark Winds, cast and director, were snubbed again, I see. In the words of Mr. Omar from "Everybody Hates Chris": Tragic! Tragic!
Violence is never the answer except in cases where the question is: 1. Nazis? 2. Pedophiles? 3. Cannibals?
Speaking of a piece, just saw this dedication on reddit by a black punk UK group. share.google/iZEuwbWn8e8f...
I am sorry. I feel partly responsible because the first time I voted, after waiting for 6 years on pins and needles, was in 2016. Clinton. She lost. And it has been going downhill since then. Just like John Oliver I fear I broke America.
All this drama can be explained by one verse. Proverbs 21:29: The face of a wicked man is shameless; but he who is upright amends his ways.
Nah, I am good.
Stop whining on Blusky and get yourself a fucking gun. Get two guns. They are readying themselves for war while you guys waste time her whinging about how unfair this all is.
Fuck me? What did I do? 🙄
Kash Patel is an embarassment to the Countey of India, to Indian-Americans, and FBI Directors.
Was the dog right-leaning?
We have a saying in my country. It is clunky and awkward in English. "She stirs somebody else's sauce while her own sauce is burning". Your post reminded me of that saying. At least, the Americans' response part of it. 😁
I agree.
I no longer believe in Democracy or care what happened to America. But I am still a fan of #NPR and my local public radio station #kuow. [The only friend I had when I came to this country 16 years ago]. It is Fall Fundraising Drive today and I did what I can. You can, too, by going to kuow.org.
I read the book after watching the movie and was surprised to learn this is one of those rare times in which the movie is better than the book.
They won"t take my blood and, if they do, they would dump it. [I was in Ethiopia 7 months ago. They wont even let you donate if you have been in a country where malaria is a major killer. The israel army, on the other hand, did it just out of racial-spite]. Might as well keep mine.
I dont say this often, and certainly not about humans under the age of 26. But that kid is my hero!
Take away the phones and give them books.
Tell me abt it! Went back home in February to see my folks after 4 yrs and all I did outside eating and using the restroom was listen to all the 7 Strike books. [Some of them go upto 32 hrs.】 By the end, I was hearing Robert Glenister even in my dreams. Listening to TIBH @ Heatheow Airport was 💎👍
I also think the sex vs. gender thing got to where it is because of British bloody-mindedness. Seriously, she should fucking keep her opinions to herself. One of the reasons why I dislike The Silk Worm. Her politics fouling her writing just as much as her persecuting groups of ppl she doesnt like.
It is my third favorite Galbraith book. 1. The Ink Black Heart 2. Troubled Blood 3. THM 4. The Cuckoo Calling
See a clinic full of cynics Who want to twist the peoples' wrist They're watching every move we make We're all included on the list … The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum
I liked his better. Less is more. But both good.
Hey, but at least they are killing one another. 🤞
He is a conservative??? So that is why his dad called the cops on him.
One wonders what immigrants' prayer would be when it comes to Governer Specer Fox.
But the bible also says those who live by the sword, die by the sword. Charlie loved the 2nd amendment. And I am sure he is smiling up at us even as I type.
I wonder which 3rd world country they were hoping to invade next.
People have every right to be jerks. But they should also recognize getting punched in the face is part of the deal.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage." - Charlie Kirk I WANT to feel empathy, but I don't want to damage anyone's feels.
I dont like the guy's politics but I will NEVER celebrate a violent death. Sending him thoughts and prayers. Although I have a feeling he wont have granted me even that was I or my kid shot by a person who should not have have been given a gun to begin with. Also, I do not pray.
@sherrysjoy.bsky.social : So, what does it take to help have my #blackbook climb out of oblivion? Also, is #blackbookmatters interested in only books by America/n-born blacks, or blacks of every stripe? Say by a woman whose work is described as "Ethiopia's Jane Eyre"? read.amazon.com/sample/B08M8...
"Saying, rather handsomely, while, as a general rule, he yielded to none in considering me the world's premier half-wit; he was bound to own that, on this occassion, I had disaplayed courage, resource, enterprise, and an almost human intelligence."

Oh yeah. Thought I was being clever.
Here here. Tell her I loved her in "Kill Bill". 😄
Here are a few. open.spotify.com/user/31kobne...
They are a sign of good luck, from what I heard.
Say what you will about her gender-politics, but J.K. Rowling sure knows how to write books that are hard to put down. My favorite, so far, is "Ink Black Heart". But I only started "The Hallmarked man" this morning. We will see.

So, it has spread to the rest of the world, too? Shucks!
I love American poety. That it doesnt have to rhyme. It aint easy, you know. This rhyming business. Not everyone can do it. [*Scratches chin* I think I wrote myself a non-rhyming poetry, folks. LoL]

Hm. Good question. Maybe if I didnt come to it after listening to a narration of "The man who forgot Ray Bradbury", associated it with Faraneit 911 and how good that was, and pilled high expecations on it, it wont have been so bad. I found it misogynistic, silly, and dated. Also, the writing was meh
I am no book burner, but I wont mind very much if I saw Faranheit 451 on top of a bonfire.
Books being carried on horseback to schools in the countyside of Ethiopia. This is why I hate the slogan "Send a laptop to Africa". I say send them books. They spend a whole day on Facebook when you send a laptop. #books #booksky #bookchallenge #30daybookchallenge #EthiopiaReads #ChildrenBooks

Isnt he a pedo?
Hope we will see you on Ethiopia Book Forum on clubhouse one of these days, too. It is a weekly discussion of Ethiopian books by authors and readers right from Addis. [Have heard Adam Retta is a fan]. www.clubhouse.com/club/ethiopi...
Like mother, like daughter 😁. Very cute.
LoL. Cute.
Abdullah is a muslim name. 🤣
I guess you would have to be born in the right country, huh?! 😉
Lucky you [& congrats]. My debut novel "Virgins Always Bleed", my love letter to Ethiopia & Ethiopiawinet, has been hanging out at amazon kdp since October 2020 without so much as a "howdoudo" from more than a handful readers. It is the one truly Ethiopian book written by someone born & raised there
Is an Indie Author different from a writer-wannabe whose work has been rejected by mainstream publishers, so has to rely on more tolerant media like kdp while she kept her day job to pay the bills? Guess I am an Indie-Author too. Dont see why I should be allowed to pass a hat to ask for money tho.
Yikes.
I wasnt raised in the culture of "if you have nothing good to say, dont say anything" so.. I must say.. sounds like a very stupid book with a theme that has been done to death.
On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: "One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this." #books
Musk has something to do with that.
Meanwhile.. in real America...
Read ur article abt being proud of your daughter and her firing. Smart move, blocking replies 😉. I think most of them would've been of a gloating nature. On how Karma was a bit(ch, and that the sins of the fathers shall be revisited upon the daughters. Me? I just laughed. And laughed. And laughed.
On the bright side, the world is coming to an end. I cant wait.

Get a gun. It is still legal.
Maybe America deserves to pay for its mistake. There is only so many times Democrats can swoop in at the next electiom and save this shitty country.
Colbert has stopped being funny ever since he ditched "The Colbert Report". But I like the man and I will support him in all the reasonable things he decided to do.
Donated to 2 #NPR stations, $100 each, after my lil sister, who works at Walmart, asked me if she can donate through me. Neither she, nor I, have money to spare. But #KUOW NPR has been my onl and bestest friend since 2011. Danke. Shikuren Gracias Enamesegnalen for it all. #pbs #supportpublicradio

Strawberry embryo.
America is the laughing stock of the world. And rightly so.
The bad part of the book wasnt the baseball part. It was, in fact, everything else. But.. to each her own 😁. Enjoy.
Wouldn't say "Beartown" made me literally sick. But it darn came close to. I am attaching a screenshot of my Goodreads review of it. It felt like one of those lip-service literatures which a writer comes up with to be on the right side of history and/or relevant. Like he hasn't put real effort in it
