A paragraph excerpt discussing James Baldwin’s connections to Hollywood during the 1960s. It notes his friendships with Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Richard Burton, and Yves Montand, and recounts a story about Ava Gardner suggesting she play Billie Holiday, despite being white. It also mentions Baldwin hearing about Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination while at Billy Dee Williams’s home in LA. At the time, Baldwin was working on a screenplay adaptation of Alex Haley’s Malcolm X autobiography, a project derailed due to FBI scrutiny and the studio’s alleged consideration of casting Charlton Heston as Malcolm X.

A secret service officer at yesterday’s parade reportedly said, ‘Nobody knows what’s going on.’ Shit, that line could’ve been on every group chat, press briefing, and mental health check the past six months.

A large, tightly packed crowd fills the National Mall during the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C. People are looking in various directions, some appearing puzzled or disoriented. A row of portable toilets and a raised viewing platform are visible in the background. The scene is partially shaded by tree branches overhead. The image caption notes that a Secret Service officer, trying to explain the general confusion, simply sighed and said, “Nobody knows what’s going on.”

Throwback to when I performed the “croc and block.” Big shout to @loganknits.bsky.social for naming the move!

I can say wholeheartedly say that I do not have this feeling at my new job. Previous roles? Whoa buddy…

It all tracks—if you don’t see undocumented people as human. The Constitution mentions due process in both the 5th and 14th Amendments. Not just for citizens. But I get it—if you don’t respect the Constitution, none of this matters anyway.

For almost 15 years now, @lolabeanyarnco.com has made me the same birthday meal: lasagna and cherry cheesecake. No frills, no fancy substitutions—just comfort, consistency, and love in every bite. And every single year, I go to town like it’s my last meal on Earth.

A close-up of a cherry pie topped with shiny gold number candles reading “45,” indicating a 45th birthday celebration. In the background, a baked lasagna dish with layers of cheese, sauce, and noodles is visible.

As y’all know, I’ve been sitting with a lot lately. One thing I’ve been meaning to do is rebrand—not just the look, but how I show up in the world. Huge shout to @landandworld.bsky.social for her patience and craft. She helped bring this new vision into focus.

I’ve read in a few places that the selective boycotting of places like Target is not an effective way to make changes. Well, I beg to differ. In fact, I think it’s picking up momentum.

Say that you’re pandering, out-of-touch, and tone deaf without saying you’re pandering, out-of-touch, and tone deaf. Target has lost BILLIONS in market value since their capitulation to TT and the Fuckalong Gang.

Then I read this bullshit from Uline—not an ad, a printed piece in their actual product catalog—complaining about “Nomads” aka workers who don’t stay more than two years. They framed this as a problem created by young people and other shit rather than a failure of leadership.

Alright, this isn’t the thing that had me mad earlier, but buddyyyyy…. I’m sharing this in three parts. The first part shows TN Representative Mr. Justin Pearson speaking about HB1392 which was an effort to roll back the permitless carry law.

So I pulled into a gas station to fill the tire up. It wasn’t filling up. Pulled out the spare tire and got to work. When I took the flat tire off and flipped it over…

Watching Eyes on the Prize stirred my soul last night. Please watch the series. Since it’s Women’s History Month, I want to highlight Dr. Rashidah Abdul-Khabeer, an activist and advocate who fought for Black and Brown communities impacted by HIV/AIDS—at a time when they were largely ignored.

As Executive Assistant at LBYC, I handle a lot, but if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that the Boss appreciates having clean pans—because that’s where the magic happens. It’s not just politics around here. We’re trying to make it like everyone else… As always, please be kind to yourself.

About halfway there now. I started listening to Dark Laboratory by @taoleighgoffe.bsky.social. I’m only an hour in, but my mind’s already blown. I knew some of these topics, but I never viewed colonialism through the lens of the Caribbean before.

This MAGA movement gave bigots permission to be loud. Not that they were ever silent, but now they don’t bother hiding it. They don’t whisper in the dark—they leave it in ink on receipts, say it at school board meetings, and proudly wear it on their hats.

An image showing a restaurant receipt totaling $87.84, with a handwritten message that reads: ‘ZERO, you suck’ and ‘I HOPE TRUMP DEPORTS YOU!!!’—because nothing says ‘God and country’ like racist tantrums because you didn’t like the server that was working your table. The receipt is next to a photo of the woman responsible, a real estate agent who later got fired when the restaurant exposed her. She initially lied, claiming her credit card was stolen, but CCTV footage said, ‘nah, that was you.’ Her employer, Century 21, swiftly let her go because, apparently, there are consequences for being a bigot in public. RIP to her job, thoughts and prayers, etc.

I had a whole other stream of consciousness I was gonna share, but you know what? Fuck it. Let me just pick up these needles and knit. Tomorrow’s a new day, and God willing, I’ll be here to share my thoughts then. So be easy, and be kind to yourselves.

I chuckled a whole lot at the caption on the first image. If you worked with or for the DOD and had to access information systems, you should be well aware of Jeff and Tina. They’d do a better job than DOGE at this point. Now back to work I go for a late meeting 😞

I don’t know who originally wrote this, nor do I know their exact intent. But I do know that the erasure and selective framing of history aren’t accidents—they are deliberate choices.

Take a good, hard look. The way things are going, this is about to become nothing more than a paperweight. They’re wiping their asses with the very document they swore an oath to serve and protect.

Jimmy Colvin @jimmythemodel.com · 13/02/2025

The wild shit is how many videos are in circulation with this dude talking recklessly about how they plan to dismantle every institution meant to serve the people. In this clip, he sounded very assured that despite the pushback over Project 2025, that they would be just fine after the election.

When the rule of law conflicts with your agenda, what do you do? You create your own fucking laws. They told folks exactly what they planned to do. People have been sounding the alarm for YEARS. And every time, it was met with “The courts won’t let that slide.”

My blog, ‘It’s Not Just About Politics, It’s Personal,’ is now live at jimmythemodel.com! It’s a work in progress, but it’s real, raw, and rooted in honest conversations. I hope those who visit find something that challenges, resonates, or sticks with them. Check it out—let’s start the dialogue.

For decades, conservatives have pushed the idea that government should be as small as possible. But that was never about efficiency. It was about shifting power. 🧵 1/11

The image features a quote from Grover Norquist, a conservative political strategist. The quote reads:

“I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.”

The image includes a photograph of Grover Norquist speaking, wearing a suit and tie, with a neutral expression. The text is overlaid on a black background, attributed to him, and sourced from AZ Quotes.

He was originally on his back with his little paws in the air. As soon as I got the camera app open, he rolled over. It’s like he knew I was up to no good 🤣🤣🤣 Hope you are doing what you need to do in order to maintain balance and attain peace in your life.

All this madness reminds me of the plot from one of my favorite films—Network. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but for me, it’s hard not to see parallels with the here and now. Hyperbolic? Maybe. But what if this is all part of a bigger, nefarious play? Truth is often stranger than fiction.

Speaking of buildouts… I picked that bad boy up over a year ago. I initially wanted to use it as a Proxmox server. I don’t know what I want to do with it now though. The specs are amazing for the price I paid (Dell refurbished: >$400). I’ll likely spend more on upgrades than the machine itself.

The image shows the internal components of a Dell Precision 7820 workstation with its side panel removed. Visible are the motherboard, populated with multiple RAM sticks and a CPU cooler with copper heat pipes. The interior layout is clean and organized, featuring labeled components for easy upgrades or maintenance. There are cooling fans at the rear, neatly routed power cables, and storage drive bays in the lower section. The removed side panel is positioned next to the workstation, displaying a diagram for component installation and configuration. The system is placed on a carpeted surface, showcasing its robust, modular design.

Nerding out a bit this morning. Leaning into this whole AI thing to help me build out a personal tech project. Anyone else enjoy tech or nerding out?

The image shows a three-monitor setup on a wooden desk, featuring a MacBook Pro in the center with Visual Studio Code open, displaying a coding project. To the left, there is a smaller monitor showing a terminal with build logs, and to the right, another monitor displaying an error message in red text. The desk also holds a USB hub, cables, and other items like a tissue, contributing to a working-from-home environment. Bright, colorful artwork and a refrigerator are visible in the background, giving the space a lived-in feel.

First and foremost, resolutions are not laws. There are three types of resolutions: Simple, Concurrent, and Joint. Of these, only Joint Resolutions can lead to a bill that, once passed by both chambers of Congress, is sent to the executive branch to be signed into law. 🧵 1/7

Greetings and salutations! Allow me to reintroduce myself: I’m Adella Colvin’s husband and proud supporter of all things @lolabeanyarnco.com. A lover of tech, creativity, and community, I speak with intention and act deliberately. The goal: attaining peace of mind. Happy to be here!

The image shows a man sitting on a carpeted staircase, looking directly at the camera with a relaxed and confident expression. He is wearing a navy blue sweatshirt with orange text that appears to contain a slogan or design, along with blue jeans. The setting is indoors with neutral-colored walls and soft lighting.

What’s good? Nice to see so many of you making the transition away from Meta. Hopefully things will be better over here. It’s been a minute since I’ve shared anything of significance on any of my socials. Been in a different headspace as of late but I’m about ready to talk my shit. Stay tuned.
