Was it the outdoor stadium? The magic of watching a literal star perform under the stars? The fact that Tottenham Hotspur was leagues better than NRG as far as stadiums go IMO?

When trad publishers throw up their Met Gala looks + books to match posts today, those lists are going to heavily spotlight Black books written by Black authors, right? Emphasis on the heavy. 🧐 Otherwise, you’ve missed the plot.06 May 2025 12:12 +0000at://did:plc:o2sro5vuevfdhuaciopkdevk/app.bsky.feed.post/3loiu6edyzs23https://bsky.app/profile/niadavenport.bsky.social/post/3lnsrtba4as2xOnly my son would score his first ever touchdown and run up to me and squeal: CAN I GO TO THE ZOO AND SEE THE KIMODO DRAGON AFTER THIS?!!!
