NorCal and SoCal may as well be two different states; North California and South California. Culture, vibe, lingo, feel, politics, economy….all different as hell.

Some of you claim that you want people to learn and do better. Yet your first instinct is to berate and belittle those people. This is not how you achieve that goal, especially with folks that don't know you. You are encouraging animosity instead of understanding.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Bill Nye is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

TWO THIRDS of the people who were detained in Alligator Alcatraz have disappeared without record. Their families & lawyers have no way of finding out where they are. They're just gone. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

New week, new opportunities for dopeness to follow the dope ones! Here’s to blessings, good fortune, joy, and healthy living this week.❤️

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

I get the obvious and hella aint the point here but I’m wondering where she found an open, thriving mall?

The Warriors’ season opener against the Lakers in LA is exactly one month away

Only the elite: 4 MVPs < 30 The only 4 players across the WNBA and NBA to be named Most Valuable Player before age 30 are Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, LeBron James and NOW A’ja Wilson 🏆🏆🏆🏆

It's a beautiful day to be a beautiful person. 🤎💫

It's official: D.C. taxpayers are on the hook for over $1 billion to build a new stadium for the Washington Commanders. The team's owner is a private equity mogul worth nearly $10 billion. Here's what you should know about the billionaires' public subsidy stadium scam.

Another WNBA game that’s a nailbiter in an elimination game? Isn’t this what people always complain about not getting in the MNBA Playoffs? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? (c) Maximus Decimus Meridius

Social Security isn't insolvent, they're just stealing your money from you

“You only get half a bar” is such a dope, concise line.

Gon’ be a whole lotta these in this series.😂

LISSSSSEEEEENNNNNN!

When I say that blocking on the Sky is AMAZEBALLS!! You: a stranger, responding disrespectfully, condescendingly, or otherwise talking greasily when I’m hella open for dialogue and ideas exchange… Me, blocking without even responding:…

Democrat leadership are some hoes. No other way to express it.

these is bars

I will never shut up about reparations. This country owes Black people a massive debt that accrues by the day and has zero statute of limitations.

ANYONE in the field like this would get my vote. I see your policy in action.

Part 2. Yeah, forget crying I am BAWLING! 😭😭😭 Their lives are changed FOREVER!!

Part 1 of a 2 part story.

What a good day to remember who the f*ck you are— and why your real self has nothing to do w/ what your bullies and abusers tried to make you believe. Breathe; blink; focus.

Healing from my complex trauma has changed my life more than anything I've ever done and it's not even close. The wildest part? I'm not even done yet. There's more change to come. And I can't wait! #HealingWorksWonders

One of the best and most useful skills you can pick up in your adult life is learning to forgive. Not because anyone else necessarily deserves it (in many cases they won’t). But YOU absolutely deserve it. No need to struggle carrying something we don’t have to. Let it go, for you.

come on somebody! this, this, this. allow yourself to grieve. [and be with people who can hold you and not minimize your grief]

ANY loss is grievable. Not what others deem is grief worthy, what WE OURSELVES feel is a loss. We owe it to ourselves to honor and tend to what hurts us…that’s what prevents us from being further injured down the line, not ignoring the pain.

Note to self: keep going.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

I can tell this site needs more sports knowers because everyone's been yelling about canceling Disney+ and Hulu all day and I literally haven't seen anyone yelling about canceling the new ESPN app, which was just rolled out and the success of which is existential for ESPN.

Shifting how we talk to ourselves so that we consciously, purposefully refuse to echo how our bullies & abusers talked to us is a daily discipline that we're not going to be great at at first-- & that we get better at w/ time & practice. Just keep trying. It's all practice.

People don't understand what a big deal it is for a childhood trauma survivor to depend on others, & god forbid, ask for help. When you've had to be dependent on people who hurt you, you try to not need people. If you know someone like this please be patient, clear, & kind.

“The Loving Parent Guidebook” from Adult Children of Addicts & Dysfunctional Families (ACA) has been by far the most helpful book I’ve had in learning to heal my inner family and reparent myself. Couldn’t recommend it more strongly for childhood trauma/Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) survivors.

One washcloth for body, face cleansed with hands.

So many words simply don’t go together here, as well as the accompanying image.🤢

Why be ruled by the tyranny of “or”?

What Barack has to say…

LL Cool J, “Hey Lover”:

Seen multiple takes that the administration is acting like they won’t ever lose power. While true, they’re also acting like Democrats are some hoes that wont prosecute them even if Dems get power again, and given recent history they’re not wrong.

“‘Cause every now and then you gotta ask yourself, do you REALLY wanna win, or just look good losing?” (c) Phonte, prolly talking about Democrats

If I could punt Democrats into the sun I swear I would. With no fair catch either.

My sympathies are saved for those forced into homelessness, riddled with treatable illnesses they can’t afford, burdened by unpayable debt, hated for the color of their skin or how they choose to love/be loved, or how they choose to present to the world. They are the ones I stand beside.
