@eveewing.bsky.social's 'Original Sins' is a necessary piece on the origins of the American education system. When even Home Ec isn't just about food within a system that, at its core, is meant to control differing populations, where do we go from here? #BlackBookSky #EducationSky #BookSky

Book cover for Original Sins by Eve L. Ewing. Red shape resembling a bitten apple with black handwritten text. A small, silhouetted figure stands on the left. Subtext reads: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children.

'The Man in my Basement' by Walter Mosley is an excellent show of power not being just a physical state but a mental, psychological hold as we watch the main character bend to the will of a man who seemingly has no control at all. #BlackBookSky #BlackReaders #BlackSky #DiverseBookSky

Did the nerdiest thing possible after a dr appt. Looked at my dr's site while taking notes & decided to update her resources page look w/a couple hours' time to show my appreciation. Screenshot of old - Set up I made her: nurture-well-center-resources.tiiny.site #BlackDoctor #BlackInTech #BlackSky

Main heading “Educational Resources” introduces the section. The first item is a “Peri/menopause symptom tracker” available for download, featuring a visual preview of the tracker worksheet. Below, a series of webinar replay listings are presented as separate blocks, each featuring the date, webinar title (such as “Discussing Hypnotherapy in Perimenopause and Menopause,” “Perimenopause 101,” “Nutrition Myths,” and others), speaker names—sometimes shown with a portrait photo or small icon—plus a concise summary sentence for each webinar’s focus. Most webinar entries include a bold “Watch Here” replay button; some require access passcodes shown beside the links. The webinar topics span perimenopause, menopause, nutrition, health equity, vibrational sound therapy, supplements, acupuncture, chronic pain, foot health, oral health, film screenings, cooking demos, and more. Visual content is integrated throughout, with speaker images, topical icons, or supplementary graphics associated with each event. The overall content layout is structured as a list of individual resource blocks for easy browsing and replay access.

When I need a pick me up, I watch this performance of Whitney Houston singing "All the Man that I Need". She had such a mastery of her instrument. In this performance, she makes all that power look so effortless. She didn't even make it to 50 but gave us so much. #BlackSky #WhitneyHouston #MusicSky

Good classic read from 1931. With a "cure" for Blackness, can folks escape the bigotry that has been holding them back? What happens to culture and communities when people are offered the ability to blend in and lean into whiteness? #BlackBookSky #BlackSky #SciFiBook #DiverseBookSky #BookSky
