Went to a new dealership for my routine maintenance and……they didn’t pressure or use weird scare tactics to get me to fix/buy ANYTHING. 😮 Just straight up told me their recommendations with rationale, and said the quote is good for 30 days if I want to come back. Never experienced this 🥹

Tapping in to say if you’re an “emotional”, “empathetic”, “sensitive”, “introvert with extrovert ‘tendencies’” or just simply the person who no one listens to despite proven right, don’t give up and don’t change. Rather, harness and refine those strengths. Preaching to myself and those that relate.

I am confused. 😂😂 Is this not what everyone does? Like, especially for their public-facing windows?!

If you pull up with a kid in tow when delivering to me, I will automatically, undoubtedly pay more than my 25% tip, every time. I already feel guilty about using the service, cause there’s absolutely no one doing that work “for the love of it”. PSA: 🗣️🗣️”Overpay” your delivery people fam!

Euphoria 😌. Whatever this current weather’s known as here in NE USA, THAT’S my type. Lows don’t cross 60F, the highs don’t cross 80F, 45-50% humidity, 0 to minimal clouds and 0 precipitation. My skin, mood, productivity and sleep have all been in absolute equilibrium and I don’t want this to end 🥹

Agreed, even a “low maintenance & all natural” lifestyle is expensive. Taking good care of yourself inside and out is NOT cheap. I may not be spending $500 on makeup, but it’s cause $500 is going to natural/organic foods, nutritional supplements, quality skincare products etc…especially after 30 y/o

they go together.

Till this day, nothing has been a quicker, more soothing and therapeutic stress reliever than a shower in the dark with the right playlist on 😌. Undefeated

Through my experiences, I’ve seen how important it is to pay attention to the way we and others respond to variations of “But why?” It doesn’t matter if it’s a 3y/o to parent, patient to doctor, or constituent to elected official. The response reflects character. Being “challenged” is a tell all

Are Blacksky codes still only given by Rudy? I need dat

Had the most successful “executive functioning tasks” day. All the emails, all the texts, all the calls, all the forms/registrations to complete, doing laundry, making meals and EVEN scheduled mental breaks in between that didn’t lead to any procrastination. I feel so super human🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.

Private accs need to be a thing I damn near break my thumb to block bot accs, creepy or weird mfs.

Love my list! 😂😂 I have Storm, Nala, Barbie, Mia Toretto as some of my top matches. And looking at my least matched, also accurate. I need to watch Star Trek cause I have to see who this #1 is.

Sooooo is this one of the reasons Apple has been in today’s headlines for “pledging $600billion investment into the US”?? www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Why must prompt productivity breed more tasks that require further productivity?? 😩 This is why I prefer to complete most tasks at night, so the feelings of accomplishment lasts longer

Has anyone else been seen this new Netflix show “Hitmakers”? I’m surprisingly really loving this!! I hesitated cause I thought it was going to be another competition show, but it’s getting to see/hear them create multiple potential hit songs every episode based on the big artist they’re assigned to.

I’m really questioning my reading comprehension here, because am I reading this correctly: she’s suing a company for “harassment” b/c they were paying her for not 1, but 20 yrs, and she didn’t have to work?!?! Nah, I’m clearly missing something 😂😂

Am I the only person who feels like no matter how much I clean up my house is never clean? I didn’t feel like this until I became a parent. I underestimated how quickly a two year old could fuck up an entire living room hyped up on nothing but chicken nuggets and apple juice.

This actually happened to me and it happened on the morning of my final presentation in med school 😂. I kept walking up and down the block thinking “surely it wasn’t stolen, people just break into cars, not steal them”. My 1st call was to my professor, not the cops, just begging them to believe me😂😂

Ok, but like also, what was Sophie saying to Abby in the woods?!?! How did she even get there?? They just skipped an explanation all together and pivoted to Margo and her brother. Feels very “Acrimony boat scene”

I take in just enough of the “news” to stay informed without spiraling, but it’s mental gymnastics that’s BEYOND exhausting. Like, I literally tap out mid journal article all day. Everything is in shambles to the extreme. Genocide(s), climate change, human rights, healthcare policies, education etc.

I’m tired of jumping through hurdles to find fresh quality fish to cook and eat. I don’t want anything “farm raised”, nothing that’s been laying in a freezer for more than 48hrs and definitely no fish sold in a bag. I miss the Caribbean so much 😣

Besides the obvious, what gets me is that he gets pulled over by the cops at the 1 min mark, continues to talk till 1:17 and comes back 1:18 after the cop left to continue this ridiculous rant?!?! You had a moment to stop and think about it, and still thought this was a good idea to post smh

Swore a yard rodent tore up my kids’ inflatable water pool toy. (No proof, just me loathing rodents🫣). Today while cleaning the yard, a baby kitty was in the yard 🥺, just scared and definitely hot/dehydrated from this heat (our likely suspect). I put water in a bowl, and now I’m sure I own a cat 🙂‍↕️

“We’re going to do a social media ‘blast’ to welcome you joining the company on FB, IG, LinkedIn…” My social media presence on FB still doesn’t acknowledge getting married, and according to IG I don’t have kids…and now people will know my full name, where I work and what I do?!?! No big deal 🥲

Y’all..I finally “caught” my first mole in development! It’s always been “when did I develop this mole?!” But today, it’s on the palm of my hand, and as someone who vigorously washes their hand throughout the day, I knew it wasn’t there yesterday. #Smallwins

I’m not self diagnosing, but I think I really do have a touch of thalassophobia. This clip shouldn’t feel as frightening as it does. But, beautiful whale though.

Housekeeping for sure. Half of my procrastination stems from feeling like I have to first complete the mundane tasks of housekeeping before I can mentally function for real life tasks. Like I have to clean my room/office before I can process responding to emails. Basically “mess free, stress free”

You see that?! You feel that?! That’s the LOVE they’ve been missing all season on #LoveIslandUSA this year. We won team #NicOlandria!!! I need nothing else 😌😌😌🥰🥰

In good news: I finally landed my dream opportunity after being out of the field for a year, and actively searching for 6 months. If you’re reading this and working towards your goal: keep going, stay focused and be kind to yourself.

Kinda of always was, no? Uniforms, gear, tournaments/competitions, miscellaneous fees. And that’s just regular “for the fun of it” engagement level. Trying to go collegiate or pro level? Pshh now it’s also paying for trainers, camps, traveling etc. Now add in more than 1 child doing this.

Came on here, and there was a Gen X vs Gen Z carfuffle over silly social media questions? Aren’t Gen Z young enough to be Gen X’s kids?

So yeah, I’m going to stick to last minute plans for any celebrations like I used to. This advanced planning that people claim is better, is not for my brain. Too much time to find issues, solutions and revisions. That’s more work. Nope never again 👎🏾

Undocumented parents: Who will care for your kids if you’re detained or deported? Make an emergency plan now. Talk to trusted adults, memorize key numbers, and consider Power of Attorney. Protect your children—knowledge is power. 💛 #KnowYourRights #Pinks lascinti.org/wp-content/u...

Y’all!!!! I got a porch pirate to return their stolen items using community engagement, empathy, nonviolence (no 👮) and basic pettiness (cause they stole my baby’s bday decorations more than once 🫠). I can’t even explain it, but this feels so good to my soul. I’ll only elaborate if y’all want me to.

Wow 🤯 . I feel compelled to repost this because I know I can’t possibly be the only one born in the 90s who didn’t know that our USA 911 system isn’t that old. Like what do you mean it was only created in 1968 and not an official national emergency number until 1999?!?!

If “Prefer not to Answer” is an option, how about you just don’t ask anyone? Take it out.

I was just getting my life together for a few days, and now I feel like a new member of Bluesky because I am LOST yall! Who & What are yall talking about?! Sidebar: this also makes me happy cause it’s another example of how this is our “new place” after the great migration 😂😂

I can’t even express in words how proud and excited I am to finally be planning a kid’s birthday party in advance (like not my usual 3 wks before 🙃). I’m talking a bounce house, coordinating theme and actual games! IYKYK 😅😂

I naively thought the whole “using AI for schoolwork” thing was mainly the undergraduate and below levels. My friend, who’s a professor for masters level psych courses, just told me she routinely has to report her students for using AI with their assignments. Like WHAT?!?! Future “therapists”??!!

“The study’s results suggest that the participants’ colibactin exposure happened before they turned 10. This early “hit” to the gut microbiome seemed to put people 20-30 yrs ahead of schedule for developing colorectal cancer” 😨 apple.news/A0feK92OuSHS...

I want to see a movie starring Angela Bassett and Viola Davis. No particular plot, just as long as they both get to channel their exceptional “I am not to be fucked around with” acting expertise.

I no longer need hardcore proof to validate what my intuition tells me. If something feels off about a person/ place/thing, it’s because something is off. I’m not sticking around to discover what it is. My time and my energy are way too valuable.

When I post something, what feed does it show up on? Is it random or based on the one I’m viewing at that time? Why can’t I choose where it’s seen???

All I want is a very cold cocktail on a very warm day while sitting beside a lukewarm body of water and nobody talking to me for six or 19 days.

I love BlackSky b/c I’m the only Black person left who hasn’t seen Sinners, and not a single person has spoiled it for me on the skyline. We are kind, courteous people, seriously.

That process of grieving the life you thought you were going to have so you can make space for the one actually emerging is so damn real.

So real 😂. My first time in SF was in mid June, so imagine my surprise when we got there and I was FREEZING. Don’t even walk in the shade, easily 10 degrees colder.

Cause to know is to be enraged
