I would shoot the computer with a handgun five to eight times

Has anyone on here started the process of archiving their creative work?

Mr. Jay and Nigel said that she said incredibly nasty stuff that was actually edited out and they next day they taped, all the network's lawyers were there. My heart goes out to Tiffany.

I've never tuned into The Pivot but they got Aldis Hodge on there looking fine and intelligent AF so they might have me hooked

Checking out at the grocery store and my juice boxes didn't have a barcode, so the cashier paged for someone to bring one to scan. The woman in line after me kept looking at me. I'm thinking, "It's not my damn fault it didn't have a barcode!!" but then she leans over and goes "You're on TV, right?"

THAT PART

And a 🧱

Men who don't "learn to love" until they've traumatized all the women and children in their path will never get anything but an eye roll and a kiss teeth from me.

And that Dr. Bryant lady is in the IG comments I saw, applauding him. SMH.

I did not expect to see Shia LaBeouf getting beat up to "Square Biz" on the bingo card today. Nice to see so many white people finally appreciating the Portuguese queen though.

I appreciate the honesty but this is exactly what I'm trying to move away from lol

Here is how to convey wishes during the holy month of Ramadan in different languages around the world.

Asking this right in front of my Black History Month?!?!?

this is how we should all be walking into fire horse. wear red!

The public has been letting me know that the look is working today

My bestie sent me a Neiman Marcus gift card for Valentine’s Day 🥰🥰🥰 Women treat their friends so well and yall wonder why so many women are opting out of dating these super low effort guys. If you are a Black woman, i want you to know so much! Truly are top tier!

And the solar eclipse in Aquarius!

Somebody pulled up a pre-transition booking shot of Dominique Morgan when she was in prison as a gotcha. Dominique read her by saying "Yeah, that's what I looked like locked up, but this [insert photo of said offending spirit] is what you look like FREE" And, my GOD 😭

"She thought you was nclectic"😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I love when somebody has a name that tells you the year, date and hour their parents had sex

I love this! You're such an inspiration, honestly.

Y'all really came through with the advice on this one - thank you! I woke up and remembered 2 things I told myself the last time I felt like this: trust your happiness and that poetry doesn't have to only live in tragedy. I'll explain:

I think about this when it comes to ackee - someone unfortunately had to eat it to learn that unripe ackee is poisonous 😭

I try to take the advice that I give to my children; you've got to find joy wherever you can, and take it without questioning where it came from or how long it will last. Life is short and time is precious. Feel the joy.

I make it a point to prioritize being present in the moment so that whenever the next rough patch comes, I don’t look back on the good time with regret by anticipating the next bad season. I try to lock in and feel all of the good.

Remind myself that its my turn to experience something good. I have to be intentional about holding on to the joy I feel and that fear is just my nervous system being dramatic.

Question if I’m worthy of good things and hope the other shoe never drops so I can be wrong.

I’m still working on this truly but I’m training myself to “enjoy the moment,” even if it’s fleeting. It’s not about the good things not lasting, it’s about appreciating that they reached you. Also, trying to see fleeting as part of life and not personal.

Make room for the thought. The only way forward is through. I say some version of, "The worst thing is either something I wouldn't do or something I can't control." Helps shift my perception of things being more in my favor and gives space to receive better beyond expectation. Amor Fati.

A new song I discovered recently called Pronoia is about the idea that good things keep happening to you cuz life/ppl are out to help you, not “get you”. I think rewriting your mental script to accept that you deserve the good things happening to you is key to break the habit.

A thing cancer taught me: living in the moment rather than in some bad future. Even if it does go wrong later, that's all the more reason to fully enjoy the heck out of right now. Tomorrow doesn't get to crash today's party.

Practicing, focusing on gratitude for everything good in my life and the lives of those I love. Giving thanks and then focusing on helping others. Someone, anyone in whatever way I can. Deciding consciously to be a blessing to someone else takes your mind and focus off of your own problems. It helps

Oh this thread is good. Thank you, sis. I'm gonna look for that book.

My 8yo made me a Valentime’s Day poster and my 11yo commissioned her artsy bff to make custom stickers and bookmarks for me 💕 I'm a lucky mama.

WIIG. When it feels like “what if it goes wrong,” ask yourself out loud: “What If It’s Great?” Then actively picture what that would look like, in as much detail as you can. Helps.

I tell myself that the wheels turns, however this favor isn’t over because I’m generating it.

I remind myself the future isn't based on the past and unexpected goodness is just as likely as whatever dread the doomspiral tried to insert into my momentum

I remind myself that I’m worth good things and I get over myself. Life gets better when you accept you’re worthy of endless good things!

Take a deep breath. Remember that I cried and prayed for this moment, so I’m going to give thanks and enjoy it. I’ll greet whatever difficulty lies ahead with these answered prayers in hand.

What do y'all do when good things are happening and you start to worry that they're too good and eventually the other shoe is gonna drop?

Yesterday, I got a DM from a young woman who said that a piece I wrote in 2018 about nicknames in the Caribbean inspired her TikTok, and she cited my work 🥹 vt.tiktok.com/ZSmSU6M63/

Man, I had such a good weekend. Love when that happens!

I just got introduced to him via his song Bless The Telephone, so this is lovely news

Why are they giving it away for free in everything everywhere all at once?! They never give us anything for free

It is to me. Whether I have a partner or if I'm doing something with my homegirls or getting little gifts for my daughters, I really enjoy the day. I never feel too much pressure around it, but I like to mark the occasion.

What if everything just works out?

Watching Cross and Kayla smash during Black History Month?

I'll be on the radio talking about the ANTM Netflix special this week, so I watched it last week - but if y'all didn't like Tyra before, you gon despise her after this lol
