“I don't have to beat your ass. Life beating your ass enough for the both of us.”

You see it in how ppl react to someone who is excitable and passionate about minute things. You gotta realize most people are mind numbingly miserable. Being able to look at clouds and feel joy is triggering to darkness. It just is. I remind them of their shit life and continue looking at clouds 💀

My prayers came true. Alex Isley is touring cross the country this year. 🙂‍↕️

Why did they cut them off like that? I know y’all are behind, but that was very rude.

Ryan Coogler gets his ‘SINNERS’ cast and crew to stand up for a round of applause during his Oscars acceptance speech. See the full winners list: bit.ly/OscarWins26

Them people really got my paycheck’s worth of work out of me today. Whew!

It was just 84 degrees yesterday and it is currently snowing hard as hell. Is nobody else concerned???

My weather app literally says it’s gonna be 74 degrees tomorrow with a possibility of 3 inches of snow. 😀

People have lost the ability to just be human to each other.

Being in bed and rubbing my feet together under the covers by 9:30pm >>>>

Fuckery afoot in Virginia.

This launch I’m leading is showing that some of the most intelligent and highest decorated people in the world cannot (read: refuse to) read and follow simple instructions.

She’s very pleased after a longer than usual walk around the neighborhood 🥰💗

Black-owned bookstores in the U.S. now have their own directory for the first time ever, launched by the nonprofit National Association of Black Bookstores www.nab2.org

Finished my Polaroid Lego set. 📸 I’m easily amused bc I was hype when I realized it actually “prints” photos and is functional. 🤭

So excited for sushi and drinks laterrrrr.

What was said about my goat Queen Latifah that made her get on IG and actually talk to us? 😂

Screaming and crying bc I missed out on getting the new Eadem shade from Sephora bc it’s sold out now. Missed out on the points.

Juvia’s Place liquid blush if you want a major pop of color. My favorite daily wear right now is Haus Labs in the shade Fire Moon. Honorable mention is Ami Cole’s cream multi stick… hate that the brand is gone!

Come hell or high water, the Book Club starts back up on Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to reading Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing with you all. See y'all on Twitch!

I read a theory this morning about Paradise and where the show is actually going and I’m legit mind blown.

It’s so nice out today. Was able to take my workout outside.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Said no DMV area driver ever. 😂

Gotta get out my head & in my body more consistently 🌱

It’s funny how people understand grace when they need it, but it becomes a foreign concept when it’s time to give grace to others.

"If you felt offended" - NOT an apology "If you were offended" - NOT an apology "That's not how you should've taken it" - NOT an apology "That's not what I meant" - NOT an apology "Sorry you feel that way" - NOT an apology "I am sorry." - IS an apology.

when you realize that routines are actually rituals of devotion to yourself & your dreams they become much easier to follow

Ppl online are so starved for human engagement, they argue as a form of primary communication. Also many are so unbelievably stupid. So it’ll be one or the other.

Nuance doesn’t exist on the internet. You better have every possible point and outcome for every possible community listed and GOD HELP YOU if you don’t.

Just watched Eric Dane’s last words to his daughters and man. 🥺 Can’t believe he’s gone.

Me on Fridays:

BREAKING: Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84.

Stopped by a local bookstore and did not buy any books. Good resistance bc my TBR is long enough and I’m trying to get more of my reads from Libby. But I did buy this sticker 📚🌈

Really hate what is happening to Highguard. Gaming culture is very YUCK.

When a meeting that you’ve overprepared for and you were happy to finally be done with suddenly gets… rescheduled <<<< 🫩

For those who don't know, this is a finding from 2009 by the EPA which stated greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are heating the Earth and that warming threatens public health and welfare

Watching the House Judiciary Committee hearing and boy, we are cooked, as the kids say.

Regina Hall for Collider

This continuous turning of private goods to toll goods is some capitalist bullshit

Today I’m reminded that some books deserve to stay on the DNF shelf. 😬 Either way, book number 5 of 2026 is finished!

Made it to my favorite episode of TV in my current Insecure rewatch: Lowkey Happy. 🥰
