The ocean. Ain't nothing down there that I'm willing to see or roll up on. The deeper you get down there, the scarier, darker and deadlier it gets. Ain't a bit of equipment or underwater travel device that can protect you from the unyielding horror of a potential watery grave.

Stop living to get the pride of your parents and live to hear im proud from your kids

It’s important to note that boundaries and standards are two different things. Boundaries are something you set to protect yourself. Standards are what you expect from others! Do with this information what you will!

I love seeing folks make their way back to themselves. 🥹 Because baby … trying to operate when you’ve lost yourself, will take all the bandwidth you have.

A Black Woman needs help after losing her first pregnancy at 5 months. She went into a debilitating depression and couldn’t function for a while, lost work. She’s back to work & needs help with missed bills. If we each give $1 she’ll reach her goal. We’ve helped 155 people so far let’s keep going.

Black women Only daughters Oldest daughters Remember that you’re only one person. You can’t do it all. You’re not failing because you didn’t get it all done. Survival is not the bar. Living is. Love y’all.

Nope. Not unless he's paying for the entire outfit and taking me somewhere to wear it on his dime.

Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners.

i have no desire to ever get old, crotchety, dismissive of youth & set in my ways. i wish to age gracefully and with an ever-expanding desire to love and treat other humans with care.

care is NOT a substitute for love

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

I am trying and ultimately failing to fix my attitude but I am so over today. Ain't nothing really happen. I'm just not feeling it. 🫤 Only silver lining to today is that I'm learning a lot about myself from following a cute Dom on Instagram. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Our new, rebranded website is live. 🚀 🤓: and, look at that -- it's federated blackskyweb.xyz/.well-known/...

Women (often cishet) have been taught to translate pain into what *should* be pleasurable, and why they accept unsafe (and un/misinformed) kink play as something they enjoy.

I don't see how you could advocate for sexual freedom + not give space to those who are inexperienced with sex without shame. I'm especially thinking about trauma victims.

Seeing this brings me immense joy. 🥹 Just such a sweet moment.

Let’s turn this up .

Good morning!

Fuck a summer romance. Give me a fall/winter love affair. Movie nights, fairs, hot chocolate while walking around the pumpkin patch. Y’all don’t know what you’re missing!

Unfortunately, yes. I prefer not to but I remember it clear as day.

I gotta stop scrolling through videos on the book of face. I was minding my business and next thing I know I'm seeing aggressive turtle tortoise dick. Why did it look like an angry gramophone?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I don’t want convenience. I want that Gomez Addams treatment. Wild & unrestrained adoration. I want a partner who is as unafraid of intensity as I am, someone who doesn’t just stand beside me, but REVELS IN ME. Who worships me like the cathedral & the fire inside it.

Oh, you know what else is projection? The notion that black women are angry/aggressive. That would 200% be the race of women that’s constantly on video harassing, screaming and yelling at people…

That I don't have to be perfect at it or do it perfectly immediately in order to start doing something. I don't have to worry about meeting some random expectations from someone that has nothing to do with what I'm trying to do or who I'm trying to be.

They wanna have an opportunity to be judgy about these folks' lives and to get to tear them down a peg or two the second they think they've found a sin on the part of these celebrities up until it's a serious one committed by a celeb they actually like.

I think more men need to understand that women desire sex just as much, if not more than, men. But don’t nobody wanna spread their legs for a man who doesn’t listen, doesn’t provide, IS MEAN, broke, lazy, doesn’t help with chores, never plans a date, uses the silent treatment as punishment, etc.

Don’t Have Kids If You Cannot Accept That Your Children Will Grow Into A Whole Person With Their Own Thoughts, Ideologies , Preferences, Beliefs & Values. No Child Should Be Forced & Conditioned Into A Mini You or Fulfill Your Lost Dreams. Don’t Have Kids If That’s Your Plan

Guess I'm not one of them cause today has not been ideal. 😭

Yeah. I see no real problem with it. I mean, hell, if a therapist of mine let me know ahead of time that we can turn this into a lunch thing, I probably would bring food for the both of us and save them the delivery fee.

Intimacy starts with safety and consent. Not sex.

gotta start somewhere. right where you are now is as good a place as any.

I think I would probably be caught a little off guard for a few seconds and then I'd be hella appreciative. At least they're being helpful in the prep work for that heated fellowship.

The good girl and the bad girl are the same.

Sometimes I wish I were bolder and could post more risqué stuff on here but I just know that it would get outside of my target area and become a problem. Being able to at least make specific posts private would be nice but either way, I'm too scared that I'm gonna draw in creeps to actually do it.

wholeness is realizing you were never missing anything. the peace you search for is already within, waiting for you to notice. abundance starts when you stop measuring yourself against what you think you lack.

Tbh I don’t like men enough for a roster. Having to deal with more than one at a time is draining

The universe knew better than to just let me have a hot bod like this with that pretty of a face. I'd never not be in front of some type of camera or mirror. I'd have pictures of me everywhere and folks would be SICK of me!

When your intuition speaks to you don’t ignore it !!

Making solo plans so you can cancel if you want without disappointing anyone >
