I stopped listening to ✨ that pod ✨ about 5 years ago because ✨ that host lady ✨ was absolutely insufferable. It goes beyond the “gag” of the show when you’re mean & nasty every time you’re on the mic. The other guy was funny & it sucks that you can’t only listen to him 🤷🏾‍♀️

I get to tell my therapist I got some *intentional* sunshine today 🌞

Last thing on *gestures wildly* (for now): Any “Biblical teaching” that suggests empathizing with your oppressor is trying to unalive you. Physically, spiritually, psychologically, emotionally… That’s not a “word” from the Lord. IDC IDC IDC.

The sermon today did NOT address that man and tbh I’m kinda glad. I would rather that than a message to empathize with him because NO I WILL NOT. Ase and amen 🙏🏾

I KNOW that I was an aggravating Christian in my younger years & got on everybody’s nerves. S/O to the folks who extended me grace until I figured it out 🙏🏾 We thank God for growth & learning to mind our business 😭

I'd rather not have revival with people who want me dead or in a cotton field

Must be 2 Heavens if y’all think we’ll have to “share space” with white supremacists in glory… Ain’t no glory for oppressors.

How are folks navigating the new stipulations for the COVID vaccine?

I know Ciara hates she didn’t just name that baby (Future) Jaden or Michael or Brandon… 😭😭😭

My “toxic” trait is sending my mama group pictures and asking if she can find me like she’s not my whole mama…

I met my new therapist today and let me just say… I LOVE BLACK WOMEN 😭😭😭

Apparently it was a hoax. This is so sickening & terrifying. So glad everyone is safe.

Frantically searching for updates saying the news at UGA tonight is a hoax and I absolutely hate it here.

I wish something like this existed while I was working on my PhD! What an awesome community 💜 Join & write, friends!

Y’all Whitney is really gone. Like… our auntie is supposed to be here 😭

There are really 2 different sides of the internet.

Fitz looked Liv square in the eyes and told her that he was NEVER going to be over her. While he was at work. Standing in the Oval Office. Married to his whole wife. That man was unhinged and we LOVED him for it 😭 #Scandal

I’ll be 15 in 💕💚 this year… And I’ve never missed a chapter retreat in 15 years. One time for the financially AND socially committed sisters 💕💚

Being an overstimulated introvert at a large sorority event is so hard lol The Goldens are so concerned that I’m sitting at this table by myself but I was so overwhelmed & moved myself during a break at the Chapter retreat… They keep coming & telling me there’s room at their tables 🥹💕💚

They’re about to try to make being Black illegal next smh Everything is terrible.

My healthcare team is comprised (almost) entirely of Black women: - Therapist - PCP 💕💚 - GYNO 💕💚 - Dentist - Dermatologist 💕💚 Just have to find an optometrist 💁🏾‍♀️

Now madame supreme 💕💚 knows she’s wrong for planning Founders’ Day in Ghana 🇬🇭 when Boule is in Vegas next summer!! Where am I supposed to find $1 gazillion to do both?!

All y’all had to do was vote for the smart Black lady.

I’m trying out a new natural stylist until I can save enough for locs & I got the dreaded “hey boo” text 😭 I didn’t crash out because it was 4 days in advance & she accommodated my schedule for the new appointment… But this is scary lol

Decision fatigue is hitting hard today. What kind of YUMMY snacks are y’all eating?! Please don’t send recommendations for flavored grass… I want actual food 🙃

If Reba or Kelly Clarkson ever betrayed me, I would be distraught 😭 IYKYK!

Okay so not allowing kids to have their phones on during the school day is going to be a nightmare safety concern. With the rise of school s*ootings, this feels so irresponsible.

Tamera loves telling (and showing) us that she loves that r*cist white man and I just… ugh. She is BLISSFUL with that man’s bigotry. YUCK.

It’s looks like the people had a TIME at ABPsi!! What’s the vibe over at the National Association of Black Counselors?! 👀 #NABC

I know some of yall in real life who keep going to that young man’s concerts… Yes, that one. Gross.

I submitted a manuscript tonight that I’ve had on my “to do” list for FIVE years. No idea if it’ll be accepted, but it’s (finally) out to my hands for a little while. Here’s to getting things OFF my very full plate 🙌🏾 #AcademicSky

I saw a commercial for a new Lifetime movie with Kyla Pratt!! I hope she can carve some space for herself here like Tia Mowry does during Christmas movie season.

Boo-Boo Kitty, Andre Lyon, & Rudy Huxtable are all in the same lifetime movie and I am PRESENT. They’ve definitely typecast boo-boo kitty 🙃

Beyonce is my favorite rapper!!

Scholar friends! What’s your favorite qualitative research journal? #AcademicSky

I’ve told y’all before that I’m not a fashion girlie… So if somebody makes some gauchos & puts them in a store, I WILL be buying them. THEE MOST COMFORTABLE CLOTHING ITEM WE EVER HAD.

Sending kids back to school on a Thursday just feels so wrong. Just wait until Monday!!

Fall semester starts in like 10 days but whatever 🙃🙃🙃

GRADES SUBMITTED!!! I made it, y’all. Hallelu 🙏🏾

I have SIX papers left to grade & then I’m done with teaching for the summer semester. SIX PAPERS LEFT. SEIS. I want to finish before I go to sleep so I can FINALLY sleep in! #AcademicSky

I hope VP Harris is somewhere with her most luxurious robe & slippers on, hair wrapped, snacks prepped, & sitting somewhere cozy with Doug. Leave these people in the dust, Madam Sis 💕💚 They got it.

I’ve been coming to the same Panera for a few days in a row to finish grading. The people come in here and have full on BIBLE STUDY. Full on prayer while folks are kiki-ing over their You Pick Two.

I did this again today but with earrings… One more day of grading 🤦🏾‍♀️

I know Beyonce’ is scrolling these apps using her burner accounts & seeing folks “anticipate” her retirement announcement after Act 3. 1. Anything is possible & 👑🐝 is unpredictable. 2. Remember that Beyonce LOVES Tina Turner, who performed well into her 60s. 3. Bey also has multiple littles, so 🤷🏾‍♀️

Any lists of teachers needing donations for school supplies circulating round here?

Jesse Powell don’t have NO business being gone!!

No one teaches us how to do p&t letters so these resources are extra valuable!

I just looked for my glasses… while wearing said glasses 🙃 I need to be finished grading NOW.

I’ve somehow become a #glasses person… I haven’t worn contacts in almost a year. Is this life in your (almost) mid-30s?! Because I really want 👓 in every color…

Y’all. I was just introduced to Albanese gummy bears & OH EM GEEEE!! S/O to Dr. Joy’s favorite things 😋
