I needed this drag. Letâs change guys and not look back
working out your brain is a must!!
âą hydrate it by drinking lots of water
âą eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!
âą play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!
âą read books. Itâs simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.
âą do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!
âą learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!
âą go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching
âą watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth
âą cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns
âą play or learn an instrument!
âą develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)
âą when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors youâre perceiving!
I hope this helps :)

You know she comes to us; raw and authentic, this girl that has never been exposed to filming or recording and you would never know it. Itâs a lot of something Iâve never done, but I know I can do it.

THIRST AID KIT | S6E13 | GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD THIRST
And⊠SCENE. *deep bow*Â
We came, we ushered in a glorious age of elucidating female desire, coined a few salient expressions of desire, and poof! like magic, we were gone. Thatâs right, we did it, folks: weâve decided to wrap up Thirst Aid Kit as a weekly podcast.Â
We want to thank you â all of you â for your ears, your enthusiasm, your tweets, your sent-in drabbles, your Asks, your Thirst Sommelier requests, your marriage proposals (1) and your gifs. Thank you, even, for the requests (that we did/do no take! đ). Thank you for allowing us to find a home on your podcast feed these past few years, thank you coming to our live shows both at home and abroad. Thank you for rocking with us when we lost our first home, and then GLEEFULLY welcoming us into our new one.Â
Thank you letting us share our thoughts, our expertise, our knowledge, our analysis, and our laughter with you â and in turn, thanks for sharing yours. Thank you for coming to the movie nights, and yelling out thirst at the screen with us and for gasping with delight and lust with us. Thank you for whispering a heartfelt âbitch..!â with us (well, with Bim, because NICHOLE đ). Thank you for being giddy with us whenever we landed a celebrity Thirst Object and also⊠for noticing when we asked them the questions you wanted answers to. đÂ
Thank you for letting us be Black women expressing Black joy, desire, pleasure and exhaustion. Thank you for allowing us to widen the understanding of what matters to Black women, besides the usual (narrow) diet we are fed. Thanks you to the producers and editors, the advertisers, the teams of people who made the show possible in all forms. Thank you, thirst-buckets. Thank you, friends.
Consider this final episode as a song of joyous gratitude and pride. Two Black women talking about female desire, race, and culture week in, week out? Yeah, we did THAT.Â
WITH ALL THAT SAID⊠We do not think this is the end of Thirst Aid Kit! Yes, the weekly podcast has drawn to a close, but weâre hopefully not done with Thirst Aid Kit just yet. Once the world opens up again, we hope to be there: movie nights, live shows, maybe even a live tour? Wouldnât that be nice! What weâre saying is: STAY TUNED.
But please do not despair. (also important to note: this was OUR decision; no need to start any campaigns to save us! đ) This is just a perfect example of one door closing in a mansion full of other doors and windows. The weekly podcast is ending, but we remain. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Tumblr for updates on what weâre up to and where. This isnât the end, but we will miss you.Â
You can listen to the whole episode RIGHT HERE (more ways to listen are listed below).
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
Weâre on Apple and Stitcher and Podbean and Google Play and Overcast and iHeartRadio and Spotify and and and⊠Search âThirst Aid Kitâ wherever you get your podcasts, and weâll come up. Promise. All our episodes are also up at Slate.
Weâre on Twitter at @thirstaidkit, and though weâre gonna go dark for a bit, any and all updates will be found there. You can reach us via email too, at [email protected].Â
Stay healthy and thirsty; the world needs it. We appreciate every single one of you, now and always. Goodnight! â€ïžđ§Ąđđđđ
Ryan Cooglerâs statement on Chadwick Bosemanâs death has gutted me again. âHeâs an ancestor now.â
Before sharing my thoughts on the passing of the great Chadwick Boseman, I first offer my condolences to his family who meant so very much to him. To his wife, Simone, especially.
I inherited Marvel and the Russo Brothersâ casting choice of TâChalla. It is something that I will forever be grateful for. The first time I saw Chadâs performance as TâChalla, it was in an unfinished cut of âCaptain America: Civil War.â I was deciding whether or not directing âBlack Pantherâ was the right choice for me. Iâll never forget, sitting in an editorial suite on the Disney Lot and watching his scenes. His first with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, then, with the South African cinema titan, John Kani as TâChallaâs father, King TâChaka. It was at that moment I knew I wanted to make this movie. After Scarlettâs character leaves them, Chad and John began conversing in a language I had never heard before. It sounded familiar, full of the same clicks and smacks that young black children would make in the States. The same clicks that we would often be chided for being disrespectful or improper. But, it had a musicality to it that felt ancient, powerful, and African.
I learned later that there was much conversation over how TâChalla would sound in the film. The decision to have Xhosa be the official language of Wakanda was solidified by Chad, a native of South Carolina, because he was able to learn his lines in Xhosa, there on the spot. He also advocated for his character to speak with an African accent, so that he could present TâChalla to audiences as an African king, whose dialect had not been conquered by the West.
I finally met Chad in person in early 2016, once I signed onto the film. He snuck past journalists that were congregated for a press junket I was doing for CREED, and met with me in the green room. We talked about our lives, my time playing football in college, and his time at Howard studying to be a director, about our collective vision for TâChalla and Wakanda. We spoke about the irony of how his former Howard classmate Ta-Nehisi Coates was writing TâChallaâs current arc with Marvel Comics. And how Chad knew Howard student Prince Jones, whoâs murder by a police officer inspired Coatesâ memoir Between The World and Me.
I noticed then that Chad was an anomaly. He was calm. Assured. Constantly studying. But also kind, comforting, had the warmest laugh in the world, and eyes that seen much beyond his years, but could still sparkle like a child seeing something for the first time.
That was the first of many conversations. He was a special person. We would often speak about heritage and what it means to be African. When preparing for the film, he would ponder every decision, every choice, not just for how it would reflect on himself, but how those choices could reverberate. âThey not ready for this, what we are doingâŠâ âThis is Star Wars, this is Lord of the Rings, but for us⊠and bigger!â He would say this to me while we were struggling to finish a dramatic scene, stretching into double overtime. Or while he was covered in body paint, doing his own stunts. Or crashing into frigid water, and foam landing pads. I would nod and smile, but I didnât believe him. I had no idea if the film would work. I wasnât sure I knew what I was doing. But I look back and realize that Chad knew something we all didnât. He was playing the long game. All while putting in the work. And work he did.
He would come to auditions for supporting roles, which is not common for lead actors in big budget movies. He was there for several MâBaku auditions. In Winston Dukeâs, he turned a chemistry read into a wrestling match. Winston broke his bracelet. In Letitia Wrightâs audition for Shuri, she pierced his royal poise with her signature humor, and would bring about a smile to TâChallaâs face that was 100% Chad.
While filming the movie, we would meet at the office or at my rental home in Atlanta, to discuss lines and different ways to add depth to each scene. We talked costumes, military practices. He said to me âWakandans have to dance during the coronations. If they just stand there with spears, what separates them from Romans?â In early drafts of the script. Eric Killmongerâs character would ask TâChalla to be buried in Wakanda. Chad challenged that and asked, what if Killmonger asked to be buried somewhere else?
Chad deeply valued his privacy, and I wasnât privy to the details of his illness. After his family released their statement, I realized that he was living with his illness the entire time I knew him. Because he was a caretaker, a leader, and a man of faith, dignity and pride, he shielded his collaborators from his suffering. He lived a beautiful life. And he made great art. Day after day, year after year. That was who he was. He was an epic firework display. I will tell stories about being there for some of the brilliant sparks till the end of my days. What an incredible mark heâs left for us.
I havenât grieved a loss this acute before. I spent the last year preparing, imagining and writing words for him to say, that we werenât destined to see. It leaves me broken knowing that I wonât be able to watch another close-up of him in the monitor again or walk up to him and ask for another take.
It hurts more to know that we canât have another conversation, or facetime, or text message exchange. He would send vegetarian recipes and eating regimens for my family and me to follow during the pandemic. He would check in on me and my loved ones, even as he dealt with the scourge of cancer.
In African cultures we often refer to loved ones that have passed on as ancestors. Sometimes you are genetically related. Sometimes you are not. I had the privilege of directing scenes of Chadâs character, TâChalla, communicating with the ancestors of Wakanda. We were in Atlanta, in an abandoned warehouse, with bluescreens, and massive movie lights, but Chadâs performance made it feel real. I think it was because from the time that I met him, the ancestors spoke through him. Itâs no secret to me now how he was able to skillfully portray some of our most notable ones. I had no doubt that he would live on and continue to bless us with more. But it is with a heavy heart and a sense of deep gratitude to have ever been in his presence, that I have to reckon with the fact that Chad is an ancestor now. And I know that he will watch over us, until we meet again."
