In the early 90s, my brother got a job at a grocery store in a suburban area solidly considered middle/upper middle class. He came home talking about the number of white families spending food stamps. When I tell you our flabbers were fully gasted! 🤯

As someone who is old enough to have been able to enjoy BOTH bands when their music was first being released 😎, I will watch this clip every time it comes across my social media timeline.

MORNING!!! The lil’ knot I’ve been ignoring on my ring finger joint is now sore. I guess I need to see if I can have it removed or at least figure out how to get three more so I can retire my brass knuckles.

🤣🤣🤣 And they are all beautiful! I’m in Memphis and from my house I can see a lil’ pink. 🥰

The way Ms. Eva would have danced!

God bless @skincarebully.bsky.social for sharing her expertise, especially in these fiscally challenging times.

Never had a McRib & don’t knock those who do. Treat yo’ self! However, in THESE times, I ain’t playing around w/ mysterious meat. That goes for Arby’s & those ibex elbow nuggets. Fuck around & order a McRib & discover down the line that this year’s edition was made out of processed muppet muscle.

YES!!! 🥰 🥰🥰 I IMMEDIATELY started singing Carole King’s song version of this!

NOBODY: ME, watching Gary Coleman on Good Times: I’da been whooped Gary’s ass…

Yep! Left inner forearm. It’s faint, but it’s still there.

Nobody: Common: TICKA-THAH, TICKA-THAH, TICKA-THAH, TICKA-TICKA, TUH-THAH!

Day after day of garbage wears the spirit, & all this election news is a much-needed load-lightener. But I am SUPER cautious. I don't want folks to get in the mindset of "it always gets but so bad before folks change things" & "someone else will do it". We cannot let up on the gas.

NO DOZE! 🤣 Back in the 1900s, when I was a freshman in college, they put a lil' pack of No Doze in the free welcome boxes. Bestie & I took 'em one time. We ain't even need to stay up. Just doing shit. When I tell you, wide-eyed, heart-racing foolishness occurred?!? Scared the shit outta us!

Funniest part to me is the moment Tichina hit Alijah with the "Hey, hey, hey!". She saw her baby lock eyes with the camera, heard that turn-up tone change, and KNEW her baby was about to go there. She had to rein her in! 🤣

Hey sweet thang, This is your reminder that every living thing in the world slows down during these next months. You’re not lazy cuz you’re doing less. It’s okay that the early darkness makes you tired (it’s supposed to). Humans the only ones who keep fighting against the natural patterns of life.

Convinced The Husband to watch Divorce in the Black with me today. We’d never watched it & the way we hollered at things we KNOW weren’t written to be hollered at?!? Wheeeeewweeee!!!

And… hear me out… CHOCOLATE!

“Magic Man” by Heart

We should always make space to give in to the whimsy. You’re never too old to be a SillyBilly!

I love this! The best thing (besides the genuine surprise and beautiful smiles) is that each one took the lollipop. One guy even tried to deny the kid in him, but quickly gave in.

THIS is how you reject a faulty premise. Don’t rush past the facts to argue with a straw man. Remind everyone of the facts first!

Now Silk, you had 27 years to let the beat catch up to ya lyrics!!!

Tamar up there, too?!!

Did I see Kelly Price up there?!

Meh. I’ve seen enough. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Today is the day! 💐 Join us at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall for a free Simulcast of Misty Copeland’s historic farewell with American Ballet Theatre. For more information head to bit.ly/ABT25_MistySimulcast 📷: Gene Schiavone. #AmericanBalletTheatre #ABTFall25

I know Diamond Doris Payne is sitting back with a nice glass of wine, giggling to herself about that Louvre jewel heist. 💍

That cat 🐱 was sick of her mess 😂😂

Home Depot is offering free training for trades like HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Painting & much more.

It’s all so ridiculous! The other day, a site wanted my email address TO PRINT A RECIPE!

For the love of god

Cheryl Hines’ appearance on The View is giving exactly what I expected it to give. Wide-eyed. Dulcet-toned. Complicit.

Too expensive to eat in OR out. Let me plant this chicken

Be kind to yourself always but especially these days. If you haven’t been able to focus or execute like you usually do, give yourself grace.

skincare hack don’t leave the house don’t talk to anyone

I'm sorry I have plummed the plums in the plum box They were so plum and plum I plum you plummed to plum them Plum plum Plum

Whoooooa, boy! This is why I always have a bag of Ghirardelli chocolate chips available. They’re the lil’ nibbles I have as I decide what actual snack to choose. A “temporary snack”! Never had a term for this until now.

THAT BIKER IS OUT THERE PLAYING “DISCO INFERNO” AGAIN!!! 🤣🤣🤣

BENNY!!! 😫😫😫

This is the difference between the WHAT and the HOW. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

It was authentic. Nobody was doing that shit for clicks or an engagement check.

All these folks in an uproar about non-English language music at the Super Bowl, but let “La Bamba” come on at Chili’s and see what happens. BOTH versions of that song topped the American charts. Hell, Los Lobos’ version was #1 on Billboard and it won an MTV Video Award.

Most of the images have a glossy look to them. Look at any lines in the image and see if they look blurred or smudged. Zooming in usually tells the tale.

I’m doing it every time now. It’s about awareness so yall can notice the patterns.

Auntie really likes that new Doja Cat album. The 80s influence takes her back to some of her favorite moments in music. It’s me. I’m Auntie.
