2025 was a weirdly successful yet lacking year for romance and the prospect of it. My heart is tired.

One definition of awkward is when you call your credit card company to cancel a flight and they ask you why you can't go, but you stop just short of answering that you and your girlfriend broke up after planning to go on Christmas vacation together 🫠

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

I hit cancel way more than I hit post. I just be like nope 😂

I've never been in love.

I'm seeing as I get older, my mind literally cannot compute interpersonal drama. Just shit or get off the pot. Be honest with each other. Communication is important!

Nobody is beating Nike in the immediate post-Championship commercial game. And the Kendrick was a nice touch considering the opponent and who was watching from a suite.

We're built different.

I think we are forgetting that Vince's poor jury management was a side effect of his poor STRATEGIC gameplay. He was manipulated (or chickened out) into making the worst decision for his game at every turn, and didn't own it. He never deserved a win even if the jury could be wiped of emotions #BB27

Well, that didn’t take long. #BB27

Ashley about whether she (and her dad) thought she could beat Morgan 😂😂😂 #BB27

my fave part below because YES but this whole interview is so emblematic of why she's great: gracious, confident, & earnest with a sprinkle of bonkers on top 🥰

Were the jurors bitter against Vince? Absolutely. Does that impact the validity of Ashley’s win? Absolutely NOT. All jurors are bitter that they aren’t in the F2 chairs, the whole point is, can you convince them to vote for you despite this - Ashley was able to, Vince failed #BB27

Exactly right!

a few years from now, newly minted bb fans will watch the #bb27 edit and try to post on reddit or wherever that vince was robbed and that is why i can never stop watching this show or being a part of this community because someone needs to be there who lived through it to tell them they are so wrong

Ashley might’ve won but Vince carried the season. He gave us everything. Strategy, Competitions, Mess, Romance, Tears, & Drama! #BB27 The Weasel King!

since the diversity initiative there has been -5 POC winners -3 black women winners -first Sikh contestant and winner -7 POC in the final 2 -10 POC in the final 3 -3/5 POC AFP winners #bb27

i’m fighting casuals in the comments what is mentally wrong with me #bb27

clearing out my screencaps, this was a moment .. che baccala

For #BB28 players, the moral of this story is, don't put yourself into alliance jail. You're not likely to win. #BB27

That taylor/chelsie/ashley pic is going to hit so hard #bb27

this lineup ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 #bb27

Cosign

Structural changes work. Surprise surprise. #bb27

Production is so pissed they did not give her a winners edit at all casuals are gonna be lost and angry #bb27

Are y'all seeing this? Vince just in the back for now, nobody running up to talk to him, man that's gotta suck #BB27

Vince walked out that house meek as HELL LMAO he knows he bout to get some READS from that cast #BB27

Wack as fuck.

White men*

Was there supposed to be a bonus prize if the houseguests suspected who the mastermind was? #bb27

Who is this white man from season 8? #BB27

I said this out loud in my living room

Vince squirming at the F2 talk - everyone raising their hand, including Ashley. lol this silly show #BB27 Jimmy getting to say Micktator sksksksk Morgan nodding along about how she manipulated things. Yas, we love a girl who owns her moves. Ashley apologizing for being in F2 - lmao this cast!

Ok it ain't unanimous lmao wow girl

Thank the heavens for Ashley coming through at the end to make this season somewhat redeemable

UNANIMOUSLY ASHLEY #BB27

Will gon do what Will wanna do lmao

Lmaoooooooooo Vince #bb27

Let her cook JULIE!!!!! #BB27

Man I forgot ALL ABOUT shower gate lmao go head Ashley! #BB27

Two years in a row where one person planned their speech/answers meticulously while the other didn't plan or practice anything... and once again it shows 100%. Vinny was not going to beat either of the ladies tonight. #BB27

The jury was wanting Vince to admit that tears were gameplay and strategy. They would have respected it! Not continuing to lie when you’re in F2. I do think some of the tears were sincere, but him crying in Will’s face, in Keanu’s face…. Cmon now Vince lmao #bb27

Let's claim it!!!

vince losing to ashley, whom he’s insulted and diminished for the entire game, is such satisfying karma LMAO #bb27

As much shit as we talking about Vince I hope we keep it game-focused. I've been on reality TV before and understand the microscope they're under - hopefully people separate the man from the player. Hope he lands on his feet outside of the game but he played a terrible game. #BB27

Ok I stand corrected. Maybe this was better for the jury to show Vince his game shortcomings as opposed to getting sent to jury where his game couldn't be read to filth #BB27
