Congratulations to everyone who had "One" for how many Black presidents it would take for racists to total the whole planet.
One final update: the haircut is complete, it's actually excellent, and my son has officially retained my daughter as his stylist for future haircuts.
I appreciate my family's commitment to fandom in moments like these.
Update: my daughter, also not a professional but quite adept with her own hair, arrived on the scene and announced, "We're gonna need a new hope."
She has taken over.
My husband is currently cutting our teenage son's hair (no he is not a professional) and I just heard him mutter, "Kanan". Should I be worried?

Darlings, I can't rave hard enough about this series. We've got authentic, complex queer female protagonists of MENA descent doing cinematic Indiana Jones/DaVinci Code adventures across N Africa/Asia. Heists, peril, romance, betrayal, family secrets, & gorgeously detailed locations.

Definitely was just reminded of this last week 🤦🏽♀️
I haven't been on the (formerly) bird site in so long, I can't remember. Other than group chats, what feature do they have over there that we're still missing over here? With Discord's freshly awful associations, I'm kinda hoping this place gets renewed life 🤞.

Sharing some girl power joy cuz we need it
I'm so glad we got this, and at the time we did
“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”
High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!
AI is the “asbestos of the internet”
Just give me one badass Bo-Katan scene, or Fennec Shand, or Hera maybe. I'll totally be at peace then. 🤞
Also, backwards character development for Embo for the sake of nostalgia. But it's Star Wars and it's all about fun, and I'll always have the books and comics to give me the stories and feminine energy that make it all come alive!
I'm joyful for Star Wars on the big screen again. I'm excited for all the aliens. I'm so happy for unmasked Pedro Pascal.
I'm bummed about all the normies celebrating the "end of the Kathleen Kennedy era" because there was basically no melanin and only Sigourney to represent women in that trailer.
Bad Bunny and his Super Bowl show dancers wave flags and instruments in the celebratory finale of the halftime show while the iconic "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" message is displayed in the background and the "Together we are America" message is printed on the football he holds aloft.
Peeking my head in here. I've been gone so long I have no idea what's the vibe 😬. I've been out there holding my family and friends close and living off the joy of the Bad Bunny Bowl for the past week. I got in a taxi in Morocco this morning that was playing Dtmf so it's safe to say I'm not alone!🎉
I've waited for this chance my entire life. Now I'm not even willing to set foot in the US and there's no way I'd want anyone else to risk themselves for a match, either. When FIFA gave that farce of an award to Trump, that's when I knew my family would boycott this event in every way possible.
Posting about ICE’s actions this morning has made me lose followers
Just in case there was some kind of confusion, here’s a reminder of a few of my opinions:
Fuck ICE
Fuck MAGA
Fuck Trump
My 2nd graders were watching this for the first time and most of them were too full of sugar and treats to have much of a clue what was going on, but one little guy gasped and shouted, "Why is HE in this movie?!?!?!"
That Boba Fett is the exact one I was looking for! Clearly I had made one when I took this photo but when I dug into my files I only had a few characters from TFA.
The Star Wars Sequels nostalgia has triggered a memory and query for the ancients like me: in the 2010s, this amazing artist Anthony Herrera would upload Star Wars snowflake templates every year. His website is now dead, but does anyone have access to any of the patterns? I only have 3 of them.

The cockpit of the TIE is filled with red and orange holiday lights. Next to the TIE fighter stands a Christmas tree adorned in gold and midnight green ornaments and warm yellow LED holiday lights, topped by a glittery gold star.
Holiday decor update 🎄
Last night at Friendsgiving my 12yr old told the table she's thankful for her health, both physical & mental. All the teachers & school counselors were struck because we weren't even aware of our mental health at that age. Maybe we're doing ok and the kids will be OK?
A crock pot of stew simmers beneath a ladle of lentils, carrots, and spices.
Thanksgiving feast was at 1pm and it was the most epic and classic American feast I've ever had, in or out of the US. Not sure how to proceed when dinner was lunch so now it's 9pm and I'm making curried lentil stew. 🤷🏽♀️
This but the Haitian team 🥹
I mourn the loss of Star Wars Twitter once a month because there was some real community in that space and now we're so fragmented, like Jedi post-Order 66.
Friends I used to nerd out with daily that now I just hope are doing well wherever they are on the internet....

My son spent a week-long school trip through Morocco visiting places like University of al-Qarawiyyin, one of the oldest universities in the world, founded 859 AD.
When I asked about the highlight of the trip, he replied without hesitation, "The McDonald's in Fes! It was the best one on Earth."😭
Watching Picard Seven be impossibly sexy in a leather jacket over 2 layers of practical shirts was like a balm to the younger fan in me that admired Voyager Seven but cringed to see her walking around in that horrific silver corset skinsuit and heeled boots.
