Thank you everyone for the well wishes, and thank you @nypoliticalmom.bsky.social for sharing our registry! Bumble is healthy (and chunky), I’m recovering well, and Bee is in love with her baby sister. Gonna get back to some serious cuddling now. ❤️

Given how the entire town responded to Rory’s first breakup…what was the reaction to that THING she did with the same guy a few years later? The THING that led to TWO public blowouts? Did they all just shrug it off because she’s their perfect little angel and the cognitive dissonance was too much?

Rep. John Conyers, for those who didn't already know. And just to make it explicit for the SEO. Bernie Sanders stole his signature policy plank from a Black colleague because he's a half-pound of white supremacist in a five-pound bag. Bernie Sanders has never been shit, and never will be.

Rep. John Conyers: black and white photo of a young Black male politician with short, textured hair and a mustache, wearing a suit, a striped shirt, and a silk necktie, standing in front of a bank of microphones.

My husband grew up in Queens. Yesterday, he rattled off a list of high-performing Black and racially diverse high schools across NYC off the top of his head. Choices were made here, and they weren’t in her daughter’s best interest educationally OR culturally.

All I care about is the kid. Baby Bee will be two this year, and the way I—a regular degular Black who DOESN’T have NHJ’s resources—have *obsessed* planning for her education to ensure that she doesn’t fall through the cracks…I cannot tell you how severely her decision-making pissed me off.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Gov Hochul is who you think that mayor is but you don’t understand civics, you buy that he’s responsible for everything his media team tells influencers to boost on signal, largely haven’t noticed her spearheading things he takes credit for during her reelection campaign, & she doesn’t get you off.

Bernie is a failure, and AOC is a poser!!! @africanprincess7.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

She could've put her child in a decent school while working to improve conditions in poor performing schools, but she chose activism over her child's education. Always put your kids in the best situations to set them up for success. Don't use them as guinea pigs for your pet projects.

We learned in 2024 that there are 75 million decent Americans. The rest are either stupid, evil, a mix of the two, or a literal child. That's America.

Our school day was completely stopped as we changed classes. The history teachers silently wheeled in a tv on a cart and we watched the second tower get hit in real time. It was so surreal that I thought it was a replay of the first tower. Our teachers were speechless.

Some in the media still claim that Trump is purely transactional, with no guiding ideology to speak of. They can only claim this because they refuse to recognize white supremacy as his guiding ideology.

Bernie Sanders helped elect Trump TWICE. Bernie Sanders built wealth for himself while accomplishing zero progress in his 40+ years in office. Bernie Sanders brainwashed an entire generation of people that empty performance is more important than doing the work and passing legislation. Fuck him.

Mommy Update: Bee has the start of a cold and was up all night, which means nobody slept in our house. She’s also fighting nap time… Meanwhile, Bumble continues to move more aggressively in utero—ostensibly getting into position at last—so I’m breathless and my back hurts. Pregnancy is magical. ✨

If you believe that Black people move the way they do politically because of “Zionist propaganda” just know that it’s insulting and you’re racist and anti semitic.
