Hey! I don't be on here lol. Anyway! Two things: My debut @washingtonpost.com story, about Bayou Classic and HBCUs in general was in PRINT SUNDAY! wapo.st/4fSubVm Also the 501(c)(3) paperwork for my nonprofit newspaper, The New Orleans East Sunshine Weekly, was approved!

I'm not sure why they're having overflow problems at lunch. Students can walk to the UC at UNO or leave campus for lunch as long as parents sign a permission slip. I can't remember if freshman can leave but I know upper grades can. My son & his friends would walk to Burger King, Wendy's, Popeyes.

I took a little summer break but now I'm back at work. I'm working on a sci-fi graphic novel that's part of a classroom set [grade 6 ; astronomy unit]. I have never written sci-fi before but I'm super excited! Next up: I have a graphic novel about Lewis & Clark coming out in Jan. #KidLitChat

This has been a problem for awhile. My son graduated from Franklin in 2019. During his junior & senior year they used UNO's education buidiing for some classes & finals.

I'm writing about therapeutic hypothermia. After a traumatic birth, this 72-hour treatment lowers the infant's core body temperature to slow/stop potential brain injury. Interested in talking to any parents/families who've gone through this.

Nah, they divorced ages ago. He's been married to Faith since 2020. By the way, his fee to sing at wedding is $25,000-$39,999. 😎🍾😇

She's married to Kenny Lattimore, if I'm not mistaken.
Myra Faye Turner (@myrafayeturner.bsky.social)
This reminds me, one time I cussed her out on twitter. I lowkey forgot all about that! I was a huge fan of her work but she went off the deep end and I was forced to tell her to shut the fuck up. [Well, not forced to, let's be honest.]
Myra Faye Turner (@myrafayeturner.bsky.social)
Yeah, I have never understood her appeal. She's mediocre at best. (shrug)

I shrug when someone blocks me. I'm an acquired taste, so I do not care if I'm not your cup of tea. If I had to guess, I would say the people who block me are mainly white people who dislike when I post about racist white folks (if it don't apply, scroll on by OR people who don't like profanity.

It literally IS about race & racist white folks voting against their own interests in every single election. White supremacy ideology is why we're here. Period Black folks aren't going to fix this clusterfuck. We have NO power in this country. Our focus is on protecting OUR community.

It's looking more & more like they WANT the show to fail. From pushing boring-ass vanilla latte Ashley down our throats, white savior Joey & KKKenny & the rest of the poorly-written storylines, who exactly is this show for? #BeyondTheGates

CBS is definitely on some bullshit. None of the other soaps are taking a break. What was the point of renewing #BTG for a second season? #BeyondTheGates

This is one time when overcooking (so it's dry) is okay. Also, day-old cornbread works because it will most likely dry out a little.

Basically, it's a mix of crumbled cornbread w/sauteed veggies like onions, celery, flavored w/chicken or turkey broth, herbs [sage, thyme, etc.], then baked in the oven. In my family we add chopped chicken gizzards to the mix. I'm a good cook BUT my sister makes THEE best dressing I've ever had!
Myra Faye Turner (@myrafayeturner.bsky.social) reply parent
There are different variations, w/recipes handed down from generation to generation. So, Black folks are most likely to make their dressing the same way their granny & mama made it.

They need to lock their doors on this show! But, I'm dying laughing at Silk Press telling Nicole to get out. She should have waited until everything was settled first. Again, I need her to learn how to move in silence like a real villain. Ok, that's a wrap. #BeyondTheGates
