"Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks / Within his bending sickle's compass come: / Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, / But bears it out even to the edge of doom." (Sonnet 116) #ShakespeareSunday

Saturday cleaning vibe is The Wiz soundtrack. Just what I needed for motivation. Quincy Jones did his thing on this! Definitely one of my favorite soundtracks 🥰 #vinylsky #blacksky

My favorite genre is any and all genres that fall under Afrofuturism. I can’t narrow it down to just one specific genre.

Happy Black Speculative Fiction month! It spotlights my fav genres: horror, fantasy & sci-fi. I finished The Reformatory by @tananarivedue.bsky.social this weekend to kick off the month. It was phenomenal! I was locked in from the very beginning, but the last 100 pages - WOW! 5/5 ⭐️ So good!

I have a few “musical therapists”, and one of my favs is Ahmad Jamal. No lyrics are needed. After listening to some Ahmad Jamal, I always feel better.

Great questions @astoldbynai.blacksky.app ! What does R&B mean to me? It’s the music of my life…my soundtrack! I will always see R&B as created by us, and all of it sounds like home to me.

I had to run an errand today and in the span of 15 minutes I saw two Tesla trucks. The sight of them still makes me angry. 😤

Music is my happy place with all that is going on right now, and my favorite way to wind down on a Sunday evening is to spin some jazz. Nancy Wilson and the Cannonball Adderley Quintet from 1962. The vocals…the arrangements…musical perfection❤️ #vinylsky #blackgirlslovevinyl #blacksky

Today’s spin is in honor of Walter Scott, whom we lost this week. The Whispers were some of the coolest to do it! This album, Love For Love, was released in 1983. The Whispers were definitely part of my childhood soundtrack and one of my favorites! #vinylsky #blackgirlslovevinyl #blacksky

Spent time in the morning thinking of my ancestors, known and unknown. I then spent the rest of the day relaxing and reading (books written by Black authors, of course!)

A friend of mine turned me on to this book, and let me borrow her copy - They Dream in Gold by Mai Sennaar. Finished it up over the weekend. It wasn’t even on my radar. I really enjoyed this read! So grateful for bookish friends and my reading partner & book rest Maximus ❤️ #booksky #blackbooksky

Sunday evening vibes…Dinah Washington. The album: Late Late Show, released in 1963. This is the only album of hers that I have, but I am looking to add more. Her voice, her sound, the way she sang a lyric…obsessed! #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #blacksky

Today’s vibe. Doing some Saturday cleaning with a classic. The Glow of Love by the group Change, released in 1980. The title track is one of my favorites, highlighting the iconic Luther Vandross prior to his illustrious solo career. #NowPlaying #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylcommunity

Tonight’s vibe…a little Cannonball Adderley. The album: Coast To Coast. This is a reissue of 2 live albums: The Cannonball Adderley Sextet in New York recorded in 1962 and The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco recorded in 1959. Absolutely love these recordings 🥰 #vinylsky
