The Sky and Aces game being referred to as “Halftime Game” day is so unserious LOL

Yo Hyde Park was so damn cute today. Black folks was out ripping and running. Got me a cute bracelet from a street vendor. And there’s a middle aged Black man live and in concert singing Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” and Sade. Like doing the whispers and all lmaoo.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me: “Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

Quick afternoon tea break to get over the work day hump!! ☺️☺️

#WNBA officiating could be better. But Sally Jenkins missed an opportunity to further platform the gender bias in sports med. This isn’t even a WNBA issue solely. “in women's football, players have been 4 to 6 times more likely than men to suffer from a tear” www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...

Yo this shadow period and retrograde has been whooping my ass worse than it’s been whacking Lady Minaj. Chile is there a shield or something I can manifest?? Lmaoo.

A jury has found Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty only of transportation for prostitution, the less serious charge. He has been declared NOT GUILTY of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

Now, hear me out…I said hear me out, don’t laugh. Recoupling happens. Random shuffle type of tea bc everything couples wise is mid already. Amaya La Papaya and overseas basketball (Chris) end up linking out of chance. The vibe is right, perfect even. And then…… #LoveIslandUSA

This entire cast can catch a flight at this point. British Mouth doubloons, chest tattoo, girls girls brigade all them….except for Amaya La Papaya. How do I get her all the moneys?? #LoveIslandUSA

I used to cackle at older folks saying shit like “people dying that ain’t never died before.” But when younger, seemingly healthy family & community members that you watched grow up pass suddenly, it hits man. …still random as hell 😅, but I understand the energy.

Why do people keep making Jasmine Guy do Caribbean accents 😂😂

Omg watched “Imitation of Life” (1959) for the first time last night and it’s literally the definition of beautiful gowns. The girls were dressed and acting DOWN! Also cried at the Mahalia Jackson cameo and Juanita Moore’s acting in the last Act.

Listening to Aretha’s “Ain’t No Way” and her sister holding that note in the background always gags me. Bring back background singers carrying on!

Like I’m singing this all week LOL #DragRace

CHICAGO — Yesterday, city leaders told reporters that federal agents were informed they have 48 hours to deploy to Chicago. Cristina Pacione-Zayas, the mayor’s chief of staff, said Chicago will see tactical teams, “many tanks” and “other tools” to carry out raids similar to those in Los Angeles.

As a Phee stan I obviously wanted the Lynx streak to last longer but Seattle chewed. The Seattle rook, Malonga, also needs to get her tens for shifting the momentum.
