Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann. While I have your attention, please don't forget to ❤️/👍🏾 this post. 🙏🏾
This was another one of our more drammatical [sic] polls, because we started off with a 3-way tie, and then had to have not 1 but 2 runoffs to select a winner. Congratulations to Lisa on another win!
Some of y'all will remember that I reviewed the film adaptation of this at the start of the year, and I...
Well, let's just say that I'm excited to read the book, because I definitely needed a do-over after that movie. We'll chat about Killers of the Flower Moon on Saturday, November 23rd. Then, we'll close out the year in books with our final #ClassicsClub meeting at the end of December. 🤓

Whew, chillay! This daily steps challenge has been transformative, and I'm really grateful for the experience. Please don't forget to 👍🏾 this post, and let me know below if y'all would want semi-regular ongoing check-ins (bi-weekly? weekly?), to keep up our steps together. 👇🏾💬

It's day 5 of my "10K steps by 10AM for 10 days" #fitness #challenge, which means that if you started your version of this with me on March 1st, we're officially halfway through our quest to 👏🏾 GET 👏🏾 THESE 👏🏾 STEPS!
I've done a lot of fitness challenges over the years, and this is easily one of my favorites (perhaps thee number one favorite!), ever. It's just so simple. There aren't a bunch of rules or opportunities to fall short day-to-day, which is making it very effective for me to commit to and succeed in using this as a launchpad for an overall lifestyle/routine change.
How youse doin'? 👇🏾💬
Hey Locals communiTi! Supporters already know about this, but after about 2 years of trying to make "fetch" happen on here, I'm hanging it up. No new content (free or premium) will be posted on this Locals page, beginning February 1, 2025.
I have many reasons for shutting this page down, not least of all needing to be more focused in my energies and efforts with content creation and community-building. Running both this platform and Patreon requires a great deal of duplicate work.
Uploading and processing for just 1 video takes hours, even on the days where there aren't technical difficulties with the platform and/or my ISP. So, imagine having to do that twice for every post. Then, add in the issues with Locals interface itself with regard to formatting limitations on posts, the fact that I NEVER receive the notifications I am supposed to receive, plus general glitches and frustrations with the platform, it is high time I cut Locals loose.
I appreciate you all for following me on ...
Waaaow, this is the last/one of the last posts I'll be making here on Locals. 🥲

Anyway, family ONLY LIVE today at 5:00p PST to keep my #TwitchTuesday momentum going. It has been a longass week since the last live, chi... 😮💨 Hit the ❤️/👍🏾 if I'll see you in the live chat!
We can also talk some about this Drumpf DEI stuff and the possible boycotts, but I'ma tread lightly on those as much as I can, since I'm working on a YouTube video about this exact topic, and I don't wanna bore y'all with hearing my rant two times over.

First livestream, since the fires fucked my whole shit up! Let's kiki LIVE, 4p PST. This will simulcast to YouTube (unlisted/family only link), as well as to Twitch, since I know some folks prefer Twitch + I'm getting back into my #TwitchTuesday groove.
Let's talk about how y'all spent your MLK, and some other old tea that I wanted to get to before/while I was temporarily displaced last week.
