America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

At some point, you’ve gotta ask whether it’s a right in practice or just a comforting idea on paper.

Folks: “I ain’t tryna be in your business…” *proceeds to get all up in your business* 🤣

That’s what she said!!! #VibeCheck

Lord, I see what you have done for others 🙇🏿‍♂️

Mofongo!

Opportunities don’t always announce themselves, sometimes they just show up!

Vibe check!

I ain’t got no man, but THIS 😂👍🏾

The more I think about it, I can live w/o sky diving 😬

Listen to Unc. It unlocks something.

I should have done NYC Pride. 😩

One thing I took away from “Strung” is that Anna Diop is GORGEOUS. I did know this already but i loved the reminder.

It’s like people try to isolate what matters most, but in actuality,you’re dealing with an ecosystem: * emotional safety * effective communication * financial security * intimacy/affection * time/attention * accountability and follow-through

Im fluent in ALL of them.

It’s interesting sitting with the fact that life has actually been kind to me in ways I used to overlook.

not everyone is capable of understanding you in the way you want to be understood

I like to learn about people by sometimes acting a little less informed than I actually am. It’s not to manipulate anyone or set people up. I just like seeing how people think. I’m less interested in how much someone knows and more interested in their relationship with the truth.

There are certain conversations you learn not to have with certain people. Not because the topic is difficult, but because they lack the perspective, empathy, or life experience to understand what you’re trying to say.

*Sees someone with Meta Glasses* Me: 🗣️ HE’S WEARING A WIRE!!!

I’m grateful that I have known hunger, poverty and loneliness in my 74 years. I will always remember living on instant mashed potatoes. I added mustard for flavoring. It’s made me a better human being, more empathetic to the needs of my brothers and sisters. We’re all in this together. Fuck greed!

If the facts are available and you still don’t care whether you’re right or wrong, we probably won’t get along.

Me: “I’m just observing- watching and learning.” Jorge: “Tuh! Watching & learning… you believe that?” 😆😂

FYI: it’s a lot of “fun” sizes 🤪

Any book that is ok with slavery can't tell you anything of value.

Awareness without action doesn’t change outcomes.

“ You’re so picky… about evy-ting…” and IS.

Some Sunday Black Boy Joy

This, to some degree. I think society has ingrained into a lot of people the idea that sex is weird or bad or something to be ashamed of. It's not.

By that logic, half of every movie could be cut lol and yes, artists often explore sexuality and other personal interests in our work.

Nothing warms my heart like watching the queer and trans community grow old. It really is a blessing and a privilege. 🥹😭

🥵🔥

Hmph 😑 😌

One thing I’ve learned: watch how people handle being wrong.

I messed around and had too much fun working today lol.

When I first posted about Target selling “Reasonable Doubt,” I was under the assumption that Jay-Z owned the masters, and thus had full control over who could and couldn’t sell it. Now that I know differently, it’s STILL fuck Target, but if you’re gonna buy the album, do it directly from the source

I fucking knew it. Jay Z is not in a partnership with fucking Target.

I said I was gonna be back in my field soon, now look at me! Back and better 🙌🏾

Good morning!

❣️🥰

Plus, I like to do things like that most people don’t and usually not appropriate for the innanet. So, there’s that too lol

Company coo err na and you then, but I have the most fun with me!

I STILL don’t understand 🤧😮‍💨

Nah.

😂😂

Ooouuuweeee!! 😮‍💨

Harmonic dawg? House dawg? Street dawg? Atomic dawg?!
