It’s also one of the most cowardly.

“It’s a joke” is one of the most tired forms of being shitty.

Live Laugh Dove? I like that kinda cheesy happy nonsense. This one? RUDE and kinda misogynist.

My favorite chocolate is Dove milk chocolate. I used to enjoy the fun positive messages in each Dove Promise. But at some point the messages went from positive to assuming you have problems. Now, they REALLY get on my nerves. I eat the chocolates, but try not to read the messages. An example:

You're eating this while hiding from your kids, aren't you?

Ooh. Sad. I don’t care a lick about football and even I was familiar with his name and legacy, being from Chicago and a little kid back then. I remember. 😌

Race and ethnicity aren’t “skin”, btw.

@nnedi.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:08 AM

yeah, cuz that's literally what i'm referring to. just watch; they will have them for this guy's execution. the government itself has opened up the doors for it with this decision. the country's BEEN unwell.

They started saying “unalive” to prevent thier posts from being censored. Then people started using the term. So it wasn’t to be cute, but it was to make their posts “safe”. All these things are complicated and layered.

There will be parties when it’s streamed. They had them at the lynchings of innocent human beings only a handful of decades ago, so I expect it for this murderer.

What kind of society do we become when the state invites us to gather around a screen and watch it kill someone? 🇺🇸

@nnedi.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:11 PM

I don’t care how many people that idiot killed, an execution should NOT be made public. PERIOD. EVER. If you don’t understand my words, I cannot help you.

@nnedi.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 11:00 PM

Exactly. Yes! You see what I see! 🌳

Took this photo of my daughter days ago and I keep returning to look at it.

Anyaugo walking up a hill of grass (it’s Phoenix and that grass is a gigantic waste of water) to some kind of pine tree.

Imagine pouring your blood, sweat and tears into a work only to hear, “I was so happy to read more black writers! I’ve been trying to read more DIVERSE writers!” All you can do:

@nnedi.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:16 PM

So refreshing to hear another writer say this. Needs to be said more. 😮‍💨 I don’t think people understand how it makes us feel…AND how it makes them view others.

@nnedi.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:10 PM

Heh, I’ve had writing published since 1994 and had to hear this type of thing since then. It’s only now that I finally have said this quiet part aloud for the first time. I’ve thought it for decades. Was always nervous people would call me ungrateful. Feels good to not give a fuck and just speak.😃
