Can we just stop photoshoots until after the Panini? This can’t be what the photographer or the subject wants. That second shot is giving... Image
Wasn’t a single Black person at this shoot but LaKeith. How do I know? Brotha’s lineup.... ain’t. Taco meat ain’t the move on the chest. And his elbow looks dry as Karen’s mac n cheese. This isn’t a ding on LaKeith. It’s about this industry forcing these shoots. Image
Fire everybody. Michelle Pfeiffer looks like she’s headed into a dentist appointment.
The photographer seems to have brought everyone in LA(?) to the exact same street. Didn’t bother to blur out license plates or anything. I don’t understand. The tree really isn’t that special.

“Black Panther @theblackpanther is hands down the crowning achievement of the @Marvel universe.” ~@RobertDowneyJr

“Chadwick played great men and he was a great man. Bringing real life characters to screen with amazing humanity & nobility. The only actor we ever discussed to play T’Challa was Chadwick Boseman.” ~@Kevfeige, President of @MarvelStudios #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty
~@ForestWhitaker shares that, during the coronation scene, Chad said to him that he could feel the energy. That it was as if a transformation was taking place. #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty

Thanks to @MayaRupert for leading the live tweet. Let’s go! #WakandaForever is our hashtag.
The story I read is that Sterling's character N'Jobu was planning to break out of prison his wife, Erik's mother, who was being held as a political prisoner. #WakandaForever
Notice the details this time. The Public Enemy posters on the wall, for example. We will see Huey Newton image in the rattan chair later. Those are thanks to Hannah Beachler, @chinchilla1970, the production designer, who won an Oscar for her work in this film. #WakandaForever

My mother just texted me that I need to turn on Rev. Al. I turned on the TV and he said "We have too many holy punks in the pulpit." I sat straight up.
Rev. Al going straight at @nflcommish & the @NFL: "Don't apologize; give @Kaepernick7 his job back. Don't come w/ an empty apology as you take a man's livelihood & strip him of his talents. When Colin took a knee, he did so for the families in this building." #GeorgeFloydFuneral
~@TheRevAl: "God took an ordinary brotha from the 3rd Ward housing projects, that no one thought much about. God took the stone that the builder rejected. They rejected Floyd for jobs & positions. God took Floyd and made him the cornerstone that is going to change the world."

I've been struggling for a week about whether to share this, because it was a personal moment. But I think it may help someone with perspective, so here we are.

When I travel, there's always something nice waiting for me when I get home. Never expected, always appreciated.
This time, the gift didn't wait for me to cross the threshold. When I got off of one of my flights on January 2, my phone was blowing up: "Julián is out." It took me a minute to process, but I got it. @JulianCastro had ended his 2020 presidential run. I was blown.
My top 3 candidates have always been Kamala, Julián and Warren, in no particular order. They all had their strengths, but the only "weakness" that @JulianCastro had was that he wasn't getting the media attention others were. He had experience, solid policies, a path forward.

Hi! I'm April. Inspired by Roxane Gay (don't @ her, she's busy), I'm doing an international mileage run this weekend. I leave tonight. Nah, I haven't packed. And I'm going to try and do it with just an overnight bag, not my usual rollerbag. Come along for the ride, won't you?
Wheels up!! ✈️✈️

My first time on @VirginAtlantic.

See you in the morning, London!
London! First stop is the @VirginAtlantic Revivals Lounge thanks to my @Delta status where I can take a shower and apparently get a facial and have something ironed. The water pressure is better than my house and this cute little room has everything I need. #TrierTaughtMe

A quick #thread about how I understand qualifying for the Dem debates work. I could be a bit off but you'll get the gist. @TheDemocrats say you have to qualify two ways: unique donors (people donating to your campaign who haven't before) & poll numbers at a certain threshold. 1/
Let's use @JulianCastro as an example. Strong policies, working hard meeting folks all over the US. But the media are focused on whoever the flavor of the week is. Right now it seems to be Mayor Pete. Pete gets the coverage, folks find out more about him, his poll numbers go up.
When you don't get media coverage, you have to spend more money to be heard. This is how Tom Steyer qualified for the Dec. debate. NO media is talking about Tom, but he's rich so he can buy ads. Folks see the ads & when polled, they remember his name. His poll numbers increase.
