Aaliyah would release her self titled third album 25 years ago today. We would tragically lose her 1 month and 18 days later.

RIP Nolan Xavier Wells is all anybody need to be saying right now and while it is important for Black children to grow up around other Black children making this moment about that is some weird ass victim blaming shit. An 18 year old child is dead. Period. Full stop.

Tuesday July 7, 2026. Thankful for a peaceful, calm, and stable life. I would rather have boredom than a life of excitement fueled by chaos and drama.
