I posted on Threads that I would be outside in Detroit this weekend. I invited uncs who read books to pull up…and they have pulled up 😂. Now I gotta really knock the dust off my dating persona and try to make something shake.

Pure ether 🔥

One thing Bluesky has over Threads is that it is not tied to my IG account.

Everything I know about narcissists, I know against my will. This includes that they will fuck you over repeatedly and when you finally get it and get gone, they will genuinely believe they are owed compensation from you for not having you. Like you owed it to them to stay and support them. Wild.

I have moments where I think I’d be willing to compromise some of my dating standards. But when I’m presented an opportunity to compromise attached to an actual human man, I understand that I have again overestimated my emotional flexibility.

The Nahtzee admirer/sympathizer/wannabe who is somehow in charge of the largest and most deadly armed forces in the world has something mentally wrong with him. Seriously. That picnic basket is short some sandwiches.

My dad sent my sister and I some crazy long message from a family member who needed money. Neither of us were willing to read all that. I had just one question, ‘who is it for?’ Because the reason doesn’t matter, the person does.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m missing anything having completely disengaged from corporate media. The answer is yes and for the best.

One thing Bluesky still has over Threads is the lack of ads and constant algorithmic manipulation. Both are so aggressive on Threads, at this point, that you have to fight to see what is relevant to you. They are heavy handed in trying to shape and direct thought. It’s a lot.

Sign me up. Immediately.

I was really rooting for us but Threads has really pulled out in front.

The money is never in the cure.

The rush to sexualize text conversations between people who met solely on a dating app is just weird to me. You don’t even want to see the person in real life before you start discussing sex? That is so strange. They don’t even get the hint when you try to politely change the topic. TF?!

I walked by and sometimes with homeless people from union station down the street to my law school. Miraculously, no crimes. I gave them money and food and they chatted me up about current events. I was, however, once assaulted by a very much housed man in a red state 🫩

I need an anti-head exploding device to help me deal with my ex asking about everything EXCEPT how he can help financially provide for his three children. Blessedly for me, I don’t need it. But for women who do, I just don’t know how y’all don’t be in jail at least once a month.

💅🏽

He knows I don’t ascribe to the fascist BS. He says to him it doesn’t matter, we can agree to disagree. Yeah, no we cannot.

I met a great guy. Tall, smart, financially independent, thoughtful, articulate AND Black! There’s just one problem. All of his views on politics are pure red hat, with the white letters. It is as surprising as it is horrifying. I am tempted to pretend that it doesn’t matter. Unfortunately it does.

The conversations are thriving on Threads and I hate that for all of us.

The way that Maverick City guy talked about gospel music reminded me of how Black men who choose to date white women try to shit on Black women. I wish these Black men could just do what they want and leave us tf out of it.

I know people are crazy online, but damn. Some of y’all for real need to go outdoors.

Still true.

All the restraint democrats showed is being repaid with the threat of prosecution and worse. And still, they do not learn.

I comment on Bluesky politics posts, so the following is NOT universally true. But generally, the comments are super unhinged left-wing hyperbole that is completely disconnected from reality and OFTEN from the actual post. It’s weird. Threads has much better and more thoughtful comments.

This is good. They aren’t caving, they are in on it. Some of this, I think, applies to universities as well. It definitely applies to large corporations backing away from DEI.

It’s ok to cancel demons. It is decidedly not ok to be one.

Hung out with my kids and decided to revisit the issue of a boyfriend. This canNOT be life 🤣

If you still think the democracy is holding, I would like to offer you the opportunity to purchase some land in your local swamp.

All Black Americans should consider other options for home. I’m not saying that we need to make plans. But we do need to do some research, at minimum. I’m not going to be anybody’s free labor. Neither are my children.

I just want yall to know that the Orange cult will never ever believe this new Epstein info about their lord and savior is true. They want to get other people. They have no history of holding their own accountable. Don’t entertain the idea for a minute. Because they will not.

Sickos.

This is so embarrassing…for Cuomo. Like, just stop.

I really wanted Bluesky to win but it’s not even close to threads right now 🤦🏽‍♀️

The Epstein controversy ought to finally reveal that there is no left or right or GOP or Democrats, there is only money and the interests it serves. Your team, whether you recognize it or not, is your class, not your race- CLASS. But, I have no faith these people can get this. They never have.

The Epstein controversy in the Orange cult is…something. Watching the followers be unable to cross the very obvious and accessible bridge between “they’re hiding something” and “orange is definitely in those files” or whatever, is sickly fascinating.

This GLP1 has made me forget about food. And for $500/month, that is the least it could do for me.

@deantekyle.bsky.social told us that we try to seek equity in degeneracy and the end of that pursuit is degeneracy.

Girl Bossing and Lean In era was absolutely WW trying to mimic the same behaviors they saw in WM to illustrate "leadership"... until they ran up against the same WM who told them to sit down some where.

Twitter circa 2015>>>Present day Blue Sky. It’s not even close.

People like me are not out here screaming about boycotts or cancellations. We just take our money, vote with our feet and leave y’all to argue among yourselves.

I’m sorry to any of you here who change oil but y’all are uniquely annoying in a way that needs to be studied and exterminated.

I truly had a list of random things I needed to just spew into the void tonight. Bluesky is good for that. Did anyone else think Bluesky was pronounced Blewskee?

I don’t love being the boss but I also have an extremely low tolerance for taking orders. There weren’t a lot of options.

Salamander in DC was made for me. Classy. Exclusive. Black. Oh, and the plushest towels ❤️

It’s always someone with nothing to offer telling you that you want too much. I mean, I get it.

Exactly ❗️

This has been studied. Extensively. What is happening here doesn’t get to enjoy being unique or all that creative. It’s not even new to THIS country.

I’ve been sober for 3 weeks. I don’t physically miss alcohol. I did not have a physical dependency. But my emotions? That’s another story. Apparently if you’re buzzed enough, you don’t notice things that will definitely bother you when you are stone cold sober. I miss the alcohol blur, tremendously.

I have not looked at my skyline here since July 1. I knew what those people in DC were going to do and I knew they would do it on the timeline orange set. I have not been in the space to process my own thoughts with the firehose of everyone else’s coming at me. It’s a lot. Be safe out here.

My lawyer thought of the day: everything is RICO and nothing is RICO. Thanks for your attention.
