When I use 🙂 this is what I mean😂😂

it appears some need reminding: 1) indigenous peoples (native americans) are not immigrants 2) black americans are not immigrants

I’ve never been more stressed about a sport I don’t even watch.

You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Y’all what is that miserable white conservative lady’s name? She has a longish face, big teeth, long hair, she gets made fun of regularly for looking old, but I’m pretty sure she’s under 30. I’m not talking about Lauren.

Prayers up for the government workers who gon be missing funds because of this stupid ass administration.

If you're seeing this, drop an old pic you still love

Guys, am I the problem? A Jamaican man that I met and gave my number to yesterday is calling me “baby” and “babe“. He was talking about how when I become his woman, I can leave from his house to go to work. He told me that he’s happy. I don’t have kids, even though he has 2🙃 I’m already annoyed

PLEASE watch Kelly singing 7 Rings. youtu.be/ptTiZpCnREY?...

Bring back white people making garage band music that is fun, weird and campy.

Left Eye, Trina and Missy are criminally underrated and underappeciated when it comes to the rap conversation.

JoJo and Tori Kelly deserve the same success as Ariana and Sabrina.

Sometimes I hate being the DD. I’m ready to leave in 2 hours but I can’t because I brought the people that like to leave last😮‍💨

Please look at the quotes. Please god. Look look! 😭😭😭😭

Someone said, when we avoid difficult conversations, we are trading short comfort for long term dysfunction….. woooh 😳

The increase of streaming platforms has really ruined television and movies. Nobody needed hundreds of platforms that range anywhere from $6 to $20 a month each. They are now more expensive than cable, and sometimes it’s nice to go out to a movie theatre

WA peeps, please share!

I need to figure out how to bully a publishing company into bringing the kids Smart Alec workbooks back into print. They were easily the best workbooks for the kids in my family. They were so effective without being overwhelming. They got them doing math & reading comprehension in the 1st grade.

If the way you treat your child is based entirely on how you and your child’s other parent are getting along, you’re a shitty parent.

Pierre is making this bullshit announcement in Brampton instead of somewhere where he would get more backing, for a reason😒 I would love it if Canadian politicians would get over their obsession with southern Ontario

If you want to smell good all day: Shower-> exfoliate-> body oil on damp skin -> lotion on almost dry skin -> body spray -> fragrance (pulse points, inside elbows, back of neck, behind the knees)-> get dressed -> another layer of fragrance *scents all products should compliment each other*

Let’s just be very clear. I don’t care how much I post about being depressed and not wanting to be here if I’m ever found hanging from a tree, under no circumstances did I do that to myself. Same thing goes for if I ever end up in jail. Ima just be alive n miserable OK, I’m glad we had that talk

The last 2 series that I read, the FMCs pissed me OFF. So I asked 1 of my FB book groups, for recs with a FMC that has common sense/isn’t a doormat. Guys I’m 28% into this book, & I’m already calling her a dumb bitch out loud😭

I like structure, but I don’t like to be micromanaged. I need balance.

American politics has ruined country music for me. I wish I could freely state my thoughts on anyone that ruins music for me without being contacted by a three letter agency🙃

Non sexual turn on: consideration

300,000 Black women have left the labor market in a three month period this year, and it's estimated that the unemployment rate for Black women is as high as ten percent but none of this is getting much traction. So, I wrote about it on my blog. blackgirlinmaine.com/commentary/f...

Watching shows with subtitles is like reading a book but being given the visuals so I don’t have to imagine

A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation

Never in my life have I worked with so many other Guyanese people😂😂😂

For the first time since I started working at my job, I’m being forced to take a week off during our summer shut down. I’ve never done this. I have no idea what to do with myself that does not involve spending money🥲

When someone in authority treats you with dignity and respect #blackwomen #92percent

Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, his family says

I will never argue with somebody about their prices, but this is audacity at its finest. And I just know that there is someone out there actually paying this

Not everyone is sad or depressed because of love or a breakup. Some of us just need moneyyyyyyyy.

Another word for your vocabulary bank: COGITATE #auntiebevspeaks #vocabulary

A street in Toronto has such chronic speed issues that since the city put up speed cameras last Nov, it has generated over 60k tickets & more than $7M in fines. They put up the speed cameras because 2 elderly died. But people keep tearing down the cameras. Isn’t it time for speed bumps or lights?

Does anyone know what kind of lettuce this is? The kindergartener brought it home from school a couple of months ago and we took care of it, but it’s still not looking like lettuce that I recognize.

I need to cuddle and have my back rubbed while I’m affirmed and attacked with kisses

It was supposed to rain on Tuesday. Instead, we got full sunlight with a high UV index, as an open stadium dome. How the fuck am I supposed to fix this?😭

I'm in violent agreement w this video! I wish I could like it 100x! I lament the devaluing and loss of critical thinking & interrogation of ideas every day. Lacking intellectual curiosity is one of the most unattractive traits to me. It dries the 🐱 right up! Just tumbleweeds rolling down there.

If you say this isn't one of the cutest things you've every seen, you a liar and the truth ain't in you! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
