The beginning of Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me" sounds like they took the beginning of Amy Grant's "Baby, Baby" to me and I can't shake it.

Salt & Vinegar martini served with Salt & Vinegar potato chips?! I just heard the ancestors yell out, "YES!"

It’s vv rare that I start a book and don’t finish it but this one I’m reading right now finna get the hook

The best way to de-stress is to mind your own business. LOL.

I remember I saw an interview of Chaka Khan saying she HATED the rap part they added on "I Feel For You," and you know, I bet you rapping to them back then when it first emerged felt like A.I. or some shit to them LOL.

Feels like another one! Happy Tuesday!

The Brits snapped with “chuffed.” I like that one a lot.

“What the helly?!” LMAO where did I get this from?!

Took a nap to go out around 7pm and I…just woke up

I LOVE me some Charlotte Day Wilson! That's prolly one of my fave yt girls rn. Bags, she be in hers.

I walked into the first establishment playing Christmas music, so I am immediately tuning out their music for the one holiday song I can stand to listen to -- Andy Williams' "Happy Holiday / The Holiday Season" CAUSE HE'LL BE COMING DOWN THE CHIMNEY, DOWN!

It is triggering me to see and know that these people will get away more than likely with this heinous behavior and I’m trying not to short circuit. Like frfr. Is it just me?!

My life has shifted so much this year because my 2nd top album was meditation music 😂🫡🤗

Made some money today 💸

There is no way Comcast should be able to buy Warner Discovery, like, NO DAMN WAY.

Update: it was delicious.

Just a reminder that you are NOT what you "do."

Found a coffee shop in an office building that has a bar that opens in 30 minutes so yes, I will be having an espresso martini RIGHT AT THE SOURCE because whet!? I'm grown.

I'm in my hackathon era and it is EXCITING

In 2025, I am still meeting white people who be like, "OMG I love Matchbox 20!"

"Menty b" SENDS ME because who came up with that and WHY 😂

I feel like two shows I have been watching this year at least have featured lynch mobs and you know what?! I am just so very tired. So so tired. This place. This time. So tired.

Started off with Mary J. Blige's "I'm The Only Woman" and now I'm in my Curtis Mayfield bag for the day!

"Junkie walking through the twilight I'm on my way home I left three days ago But no one seems to know I'm gone Home is where the hatred is Home is filled with pain And it may not be such a bad idea If I never, never went home again" #MusicSky open.spotify.com/track/1dtAnQ...

Saw a Cybertruck with the license plate “Got ⭐️ Rizz” and I’m here to tell you, you don’t, driving that shit. Should have slashed the tires on GP.

So in today's adventures, I found a food cart with acclaimed paella AND I HAVE BEEN WANTING PAELLA FOR MONTHS, so I'm finna gallivant over there and see what the people talmbout.

I love Black people real bad. Real real bad! Like, we’re the sun, moon, AND the stars and they hate to see us shine. But we still do it, brightly, and blindingly.

Bring back JINGLES. Man, I haven't chewed gum in decades but I was walking around this morning singing, "Juicy Fruit! The taste the taste the taste is gonna MOVE ya!" The marketing used to at least be more enjoyable TO US while they pushed their shitty product, lol.

"Old Navy Super Cash" feels like such a scam and I know it in my bones but I feel like I need to take some data points to confirm

It is unfair that we (I) have to sit alongside these petulant idiots who continuously hoist themselves by their own petard.

I haven't seen anything made with poppy seeds in a while. Random thought lol.

My sister and nephew are on the way into town and I am *so* excited. I haven't seen them since Mother's Day AND it's my nephew's first time on a plane. It'll be the first time he's meeting the family in Portland since he's been adopted and I am just already crying in advance. 🥹

I don't think I know ANYONE that was homeschooled. I was at an EdTech event last night for my startup and it dawned on me I had left a whole market out of the mix. Because it literally never crosses my path. I don't think I even knew anyone growing up homeschooled!?

East Coast morning calls from the West Coast will always make me chuckle. Because we be for real still wiping the crust out of our eyes in PST while in EST, they are about to eat lunch. Just craziness.

You know, I have to just clap for myself this morning. I can really go into any environment and be fine. History has proven this. The present confirms it. The future will expand it.

Oh, now no one told me about Muji?! Randomly walked into one in downtown Portland yesterday and...I want all the things.

The Master lives in the center; the immature live on the edge of things, unsatisfied, always reaching for what is not. The Master lives in harmony; the immature pick and choose, accept some things and reject some, and make themselves miserable trying to control the world.

Haven't listened to Amapiano in a minute and I'm in here jamming and dancing in this chair at the office like I am all alone

I love when people sense they can show up as themselves authentically with me. Cause that's how I'mma always show up. I got a follow-up email from a meeting last week and it opened up, "I had a time with you last week!" Only Blacks folks say that phrase and I just LOVE us for real.

I ain't even looking forward to the food of Thanksgiving. I cannot wait to kick it with my lil cousins cause everybody else is SO DRY lmao.

People don't: Wash they ass Read books Drink water Wash they hands Eat green things Be kind Stop and think And you know, it's all a Venn diagram at this point!?

And then had to follow up with my favorite Mahalia Jackson song before I turn on the ratchet for the day cause "I Will Move On Up A Little Higher" INDEED, as I hit this bowl #MusicSky open.spotify.com/track/1D1PV0...

"Lord, I don't bother nobody I try to treat everybody the same But every time I turn my back They scandalize my name" SING INEZ #MusicSky open.spotify.com/track/4ujCcC...

"And they had her playing Harriet Tubman." I AM IN HERE WHEEZING!!!

Got my first thoughts from a published friend on my novella and he loved it. A RELIEF! Gonna keep writing. I want to finish this before the end of the year. Setting the goal now.

When you're actually hungry and need sustenance, sweets don't suffice. Consider that as you scroll endlessly today.

iPhone snapped with adding Phone Screening. I LOVE THAT SHIT.

Robespierre but Toussaint Loverture-style
