Black people would be better able to "extend grace" if: 1. grace were EVER extended to us, at any point, under ANY circumstance. 2. White people didn't have a 400+ year track record of lying to our faces about the anti-blackness we experience nearly daily.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? I promise, the porn never left Twitter. It's only beginning to find it's way over here.

I am OBSESSED. I played the song ALL AFTERNOON in my car yesterday.

Y'all. We are REALLY in DECEMBER OF 2025. HOW?!

If growing was comfortable, we'd all keep doing it.

Omg, it's really the first of November. How did we get here so fast?!

Y'all really gotta stop typing "The Guilded Age." It's The Gilded Age. Gilding is to cover and object in gold leaf. That's why the name of that period and the show makes sense. It's shit covered in a beautiful veneer, like a gilded cage.

I'm in a weird space of truth-telling. It feels a lot like putting my foot in my mouth tho.

I am more a morning person than I ever thought I'd be.

I have a new relationship my higher self, or intuition, lately. Things I couldn't find or understand before come to me surprisingly quickly now. All I can do is make use of the messages and say "thank you."

I used to think any life over the age of 75 was bonus and God's grace. Now, as black man approaching 48, I'm realizing EVERY SINGLE DAY is God's grace. We're leaving here far too early, these days.

Lately, seeing Cynthia Erivo sing ANYTHING makes me emotional.

Signs you're ignoring your intuition: You resist the urge to buy a huge pack of AA batteries twice this week. Now, you have to make a special trip because you actually need them today.

🗣️ AND DO!

Today, I realized singers who confidently sing incorrect lyrics is a pet peeve of mine.

"They don't care where they kick Just as long as they hurt you There are thieves in the temple tonight." Prince, "Thieves in The Temple."

I believe there's two kinds of lust: one that sees the entire person and desires them in totality, and one that ignores personhood, making you little more than a object to be possessed or a mission to conquer. When you know which it is, there's your answer.

Literally the moment I knew I wanted to make music. I heard things I never imagined before and wanted to learn how to do it.

Wednesday ain't the same since the Abbott Elementary season finale. 😔

People who constantly tell you how great their life is are also trying to convince themselves.

I finally saw the Hotel Reverie episode of Black Mirror. If you saw that and thought Issa Rae was just playing herself, you have no idea who she is, and you see all black women the same. That character was so outside of anything she's ever done.

I have a visceral reaction when DJs play R. Kelly now. Much like when I see a Tesla Cyber Truck on the road. Like "why would you do that?!"

"I can't imagine the bitter end of all the beauty that we're living in…" Janelle Monáe, "Oh, Maker."

I thought it was just me. That show could've (and should've) ended two seasons ago.

"If you don't have love, send money." A word for this season. Mark's a prophet and don't even know it. Happy birthday, friend.

The cool thing about learning and accepting you're neurospicy is you start getting good at spotting it in others in public spaces.

This cannot be stressed enough. With or without context.

I'm afraid I've peopled past my limit for the week, and it's only Thursday morning. 🤦🏿‍♂️

I pray the opportunity to rectify this finds you immediately.

"Rhinestones and diamonds both shine in the light…“ Beyoncé, "II HANDS II HEAVEN."

"Strobe lights make everything… sexier. Shadows dancing on the wall…“ Janet Jackson, "Rock With U."

When you realize boycotting Target gives you an excuse to go to IKEA to shop for housewares >>>>

I meditated for fifteen minutes for the first time in a few years. Feels like I hit the reset button.

CORY BOOKER IS STILL GOING. 😳

I always have the most creative mixing ideas/solutions when I'm nowhere near my computer.

Scheduled send: for when you can answer in less than 30 seconds but you don't want people to develop an expectation of it happening regularly.

The sad truth is a lot of us were trained to accept bullying and manipulation BY THE CHURCH. If our parents were our first bullies, the church was the second.
