I’ve been thinking about this a lot—Black K-pop fans, how do you stay into K-pop when there’s been racism from fans or idols? I’m not judging at all. I used to love SHINee and Rain, so I’m just honestly curious how you deal with it.

I don’t remember getting sick this frequently or Chicago weather ever bothering me this much, but the last 5 years have been a nightmare. I’m not sure if it’s a post-COVID world thing or if people have been nastier than usual — which makes sense given the rise in anti-vaxxers.

Classic film lovers 📢 What classic film made you fall in love with old movies? For me, it was Singin’ In The Rain! I love how playful it is and how comfortable they were with poking fun at the absurdity of early Hollywood, and the chaos of the silents-to-talkies transition.

Posting on threads is so embarrassing lol

Before there was the El Capitan on Hollywood Boulevard, there was an El Capitan on Vine Street. The top pic shows a variety show there in 1948. The venue opened in 1927 as the Hollywood Playhouse, changing names over the years, eventually becoming The Palace and now Avalon.

Hey Chicagoland! This Saturday, the Anti-Cruelty Society is hosting a pet adoption event beginning at 12:30pm. The first 100 people who adopt a pet will receive a $50 gift card from Amazon to buy the supplies you need to get started with your furry friend. #Petsky #Chicago anticruelty.org/kindness

My first ever book review 🫣 internally screaming

I’m so sick of rude, entitled people.

This man just sent me pictures of his ex in a “I thought our date went well but I guess not text” after I ghosted him. 🆘 I’m officially done with dating apps lol

Ah and LaTanya!!

This show has me till 8. Prayers up for Jasmine, Audra, Joy, and all things Buena Vista Social Club 🙌

I’m TIED but Beyoncé! Beyoncé, girl. That was a show 🥹❤️

My current state:

I don’t trust people who eat wasabi

Solo trips or nothing. I can’t do this again lol

Fancy dress for a normal dinner at Yamashiro? Yes.

This weather in LA is NOT IT

I’m an espresso martini and 2 cosmos in…

I just want to be successful and have a relationship with a strong, successful, faithful man. 🫣

I’ve convinced myself that I can’t have my dream career and deserve my dream man 🙃

#tcmff 😍

Talking non-stop on a 4 hour flight is a skill I do not wish to acquire.

That’s why I go to a ⚪️ church lol

There’s absolutely no reason why the choir should still be singing 45 minutes into the service.

Just found out Val Kilmer passed. I’m not ok 🥺

I’m not breaking the record because of Storm Thurmond, but despite his actions. I love it.

Cory Booker has officially broken the racist man fillibuster record. And what i love about it is he did it while understanding the moment and speaking to the Black history that has made this country and how it has made him the Black man that he is 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #BookerBuster

Like did yall have to use house 🫣

Disrespecting veterans is weird 🫣 Leftists are just as bad as 🍑 supporters.

I don’t like it but it’s not cancer 😅 so I’ll take it

If they weren’t going to make Doechii a headliner, the least they could’ve done was put her in that Thursday slot with Tyler. I’m not even interested anymore 😑

Y’all need to bully him the same way they bullied Biden

This is what I’ll be doing until further notice ☝🏾

I try to be as healthy as possible (still working on eating right — for my health and weight loss) so being this sick makes absolutely no sense. I don’t think I’ve been sick like this since I was a kid…20 (ish) years ago 😑

A lot of yall have stopped washing your hands again and it shows. 😡

I try not to use the skeleton. Too many folks are passing away. I’m not speaking that over me or mine — even if it is just an emoji.

I still feel like 😵‍💫 but I’m breathing so that’s something

Every general of the confederacy and Jefferson Davis should have been tried for treason and hung.

When Grant enforced amnesty rather than punishment for the Confederacy

I should probably go to the ER 🫠

I find it so interesting how these people are able to freely wonder around after their parades. God forbid Bud Billiken was ever allowed downtown. They’d have the sanitation trucks and police blocking things off the second it ended.

The drunks outside my apartment are chanting USA. I need these suburbanites and north siders to go back home 🙃

I’m adding “palatable” and “respectable” to my block list.

1. Velvet Rope 2. Got til it’s gone

The Army erased her. History will not.
