I did one good thing today: I voted by mail! 💪🏾

Twenty-five years ago, I took this photo of the first tower of the World Trade Center from Lower Manhattan as the ground rumbled and shook beneath me on September 11th.

I was this close from the World Trade Center that day, 25 years ago, and I’m still in shock, honestly.

I use these wipes on my face, and every day, I see the most dirt after wiping my forehead. Do I really have a dirty mind?

Watching the Special Olympics Wrap Up show, and I’m so proud of and inspired by these athletes.

There are still slots open in @profsue123.bsky.social's Instant Gratification takes too long course. The five-week class helps you develop your ideas and pitch publications. Better still: She has three magazine editors a week who share the best ways to get into their periodicals. Get you some!

Won this fun pet hat at Bingo tonight. Wonder what I should feed it?

Today’s Knicks parade was anticlimactic for me, because we (a friend & I) could neither see or hear the celebration from my spot near the City Hall station.

I feel you, but you look good—not like me with Amber Mark. I cheesed too hard. 🤣🤣

RIP to my favorite tungsten-carbide necklace, featured in the fine photo below. The microscopic pin holding one of the links together slipped out, fell into the sink, and slid down the drain. It will be missed.

You know, those machines where you attach the pads and turn on the current to fatigue the muscles so they can relax?

I just came across this one, and it took me back to the late ’80s. What a (lighter) time that was!

Finished an audiobook today, Molly Jong-Fast's "How To Lose Your Mother: A Daughter's Memoir." Since my memoir is covering similar terrain—parent with dementia—I figured I'd give it a listen. Good stuff. Really grueling at points but good.

Yeah, I worked at Tiger Beat/Teen Beat (as a copy editor) in 2001, at the height of the Boy Band epidemic, and celebrities were the least interesting part of my job.

I feel indicted my @michaelharriot.bsky.social's comments on chicken leg eaters. Wonder what I'm talking about? Read Black AF History!

Dear Fellow Writer Folks, I'm writing to let you know @profsue123.bsky.social has a five-week book workshop coming up next week. It's a great way to learn what it takes to sell a book. Each week, you receive insight from industry professionals who help demystify the process. A true discount!

Don’t mind me, I’m just podcasting with @michaelianblack.bsky.social on @hignfy.bsky.social, playing games, talking about my memoir, and upcoming cover of Janet Jackson’s “The Pleasure Principle.” Episode airs tomorrow!

We ran a little late for taping, so @roywoodjr.bsky.social met fans for postshow photo ops—which struck me as thoughtful and generous. The show, “Have I Got News for You,” with @amberruffin.bsky.social & @michaelianblack.bsky.social, airs today. (And no, I’m not on camera.)

I dream of being on Michael Ian Black’s podcast. (There’s a raffle.) What we’ll talk about, I don’t know, but I’m sure we could figure something out.

Here at CBS Studios for a taping of Have I Got News for You with @roywoodjr.bsky.social @amberruffin.bsky.social @michaelianblack.bsky.social, where comedy is a form of protest.
