School is kicking my ass.

I work in downtown LA, and if anything, it was eerily quiet. No cars, no pedestrians. It was like the world disappeared and I was the only one in it. So, yeah, don’t let the media fool you.

I live in Los Angeles. I’ve been crying every day since Friday at seeing people being kidnapped. Taken from everything they’ve built. Taken from their loved ones. Everywhere is empty. People are living in constant fear. No matter your legal status, no one is safe. I’m very angry.

Celebrating that Clipper win by gardening and plying my Switch

Preparing to move into the next chapter of my academic journey and I’m not going to lie, I’m terrified.

The infamous fail whale

Take yall children to those black history events that will be held at some local libraries. It starts at home

Serious question because I’ve been so disconnected from the news, but, are the Dems doing anything? It feels like they’re just sitting on their hands allowing this to happen. All I see is negative news. I need hope.

Vulnerability post: I’ve cried every day this week because of what life has been throwing my way. To say I’m overwhelmed is an understatement. I wake up exhausted every day.

It’s only 2 days and I’m already tired of the bullshit.

Only 15 days into the new year and I’m ready to throw in the towel 🥲

Crying as I set my alarm after being off for 2 1/2 weeks 😭

I stand by this.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

Y’all my research proposal PASSED!!! 😭😭😭😭

I used to always encourage parents to give their kids Red Bull or caffeine to see if their kids might have ADHD. Turns out, maybe I have it, because how can I drink a cold brew, and espresso and be this sleepy. I was fine before the espresso 😭

Energetically, things are funky. It’s a strange feeling. Like there’s fuckery afoot…

Did I just see Busta in a Walmart commercial? 🤨

I’m only two episodes in to Like Water for Chocolate, and I’m wrecked.

Found this on the 215 south near Riverside. Last week it was Daniel Penny 👀

I keep re-reading my research proposal hoping I didn’t miss anything 😭

I dipped. For context, it’s one of me for 17 schools. I’m supporting 436 students. My time is extremely limited. This is just disrespectful.

I was supposed to meet with an assistant principal today to discuss the increasing absences in his school among homeless students. It’s been 15 minutes since this meeting was supposed to start, and he’s not here. Should I dip?

My heart is full. I worked my ass off on this research proposal and my professor emailed me telling me how proud she was for having conquered the hardest class in the program. And today, my boss treated me to coffee to celebrate my completion of my research proposal.

I can’t wait for this semester to be over. I have not know peace or sleep for the last 4 months 😭

My only beef with Kendrick is … why so close to the holidays? 😭

Soon. #Cosmere | #WindandTruth | #BrandonSanderson

Setting boundaries, especially with Mexican families, is very hard… But I did it. I had to because in the end, they’re not going to do anything for me. It may sound selfish, but I’m not sacrificing this research to waste time on meaningless tasks.

Bluesky, looking for a home for an adorable bonded brother and sister born in the same litter in Northern VA. Kitties are 16 MO and need a loving home. These are 2 super affectionate and adorable furballs. Help me amplify this message to find these little ones a home this holiday season.

…”the study provides insights that could inform policy changes and bolster support initiatives for this vulnerable population.” I wrote that. Such simple words brought renewal and drive to FINALLY finish this research proposal.

I just finished “IF” and it wrecked me! Got me crying in front of my kids.

Okay, Clippers

Oh, she had no idea what kind of day it would be 🥴

My favorite hip-hop musicians keep returning to the essence. Brother Marquis, Chino XL, Ka, DJ Mister Cee, DJ Clark Kent, DJ Polo, Saafir, Boss, Fatman Scoop. Forever grateful. Gone but not forgotten.

Just heard Doechii for the first time and I am a fan!

I want to put together a travel group for Black women. 🤔

Well, that was just wild. Omg #ClipperNation

Finally! Some raccoon content for @leeese.bsky.social

My work BFF is leaving, which will make me the sole person working with Homeless and Foster students across 17 schools. I’m sure I’ll be crying by the end of the week with how overwhelmed I’ll be with all 420 of these cases 🥲

41 💁🏽‍♀️

I miss cross stitching…

11 … trying to get two more before January. That’s when my tattoo artist moves to Texas 😭

Just a little tip. Especially do this before you delete your account there for good.

Seeing a lot of Parable of The Sower content on my timeline, and I love it! Such a good book, will have to re-read soon.
