Behold Opie the Mighty! My little 30oz rooster spotted a hawk diving at the run and protected all his girls. Got everyone to safety and kept watch until it was clear. He’s mean as hell but I love him.

My rooster, Opie the Mighty, after defending his flock from a hawk. Opie is a silver seabright chicken with black and white feathers and a bright red comb. He’s got a mean expression because a hawk chose to FAFO.

To my new followers, hello! 👋🏾 I’m Heather, a PhD candidate in Texas studying 19th century street vendors and other enslaved entrepreneurs. I tried to keep my twitter relatively professional and I hated it. Expect me to be my authentic black nerd self here as well as a historian.

A screenshot from the show, “The Legend of Vox Machina” on Amazon prime. It’s an amazing show based on the D&D campaign of Critical Role. Just go watch it.

Quote this with pics of water that you took.

Photo of a beach in Brazil. Gentle waves wash up on shore. White boats are in the water with green mountains and blue sky in the background.

A rocky beach in Brazil. Gentle waves wash up on large rocks. Two people jetski in the background on a nice sunny day.

A beautiful sunset on a Brazilian beach.

A river between two very green shores. It’s a cloudy day and you can see the reflection of the clouds in the water.

Does anyone know if there is a feed/starter pack for Black gardeners or Black women homesteading? I offer you an unflattering pic of my grumpy broody girl as tribute.

I don't get who this movie is for. It explores the "magical negro" trope but the trailer doesn't feel empowering to Black people. Who wants to watch a satire of losing power if white people aren't appeased? I'm not even mad at the rom-com elements, just which film they are in. What is this plot?

I got tired of the daily hate on the former bird app. I hear it's more peaceful here. I offer you this random picture of a capybara I have saved. So cute.
