Been saying for a few years now that the time for Jessica supremacy is approaching 💥

They didn't want to elect a well qualified white woman. I'm sorry, but our girl never had a chance

Still unfriending/unfollowing people in 2025? Y'all didn't do a thorough enough job 9 years ago

It's really scary to be navigating the educational system in a new country, but then I look back at what was "comfortable" and.....

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

Me, when my job asks me to actually do the work they pay for:

😏

It me.

baddies???? Love savory!

Have given up the pretense of using a knife when eating chicken thighs 😋

Trying to get this message through to a friend in town. Like can we just sit down maybe??

She is trying to fling us off.

kiss cams are the surveillance state btw

The way my body reacts to fried foods these days is anti-black tbh 😭

Clipse really does make Vixen Wiggle music. THE CLUBS NEED THIS. This is the music the vixens use to walk out the pool too. THIS THE MUSIC THEY HAD BIKINIS w/ FURS ON HOLDING PITBULLS LEASHES! NEEDED THIS!

Target meeting with Al Sharpton, the CBC, Keith Lee, Tabitha Brown, Reesa Teesa, and checking in with J Prince but has yet to try reinstating it's DEI policies and bringing back the Black businesses they cut from their vendor lists. The very definition of playing in our faces.

One thing I've learned surviving my first European summer (which has barely started 😭): ain't shit funny when I'm hot/dehydrated. Why tf you trying to tell me a joke right now?!

😂 My husband and I have an ongoing convo about musical genres and he recently asked where I'd put Anita. I immediately said "R&B" but after a few minutes I was like "actually...yacht rock?"

Rehydrating with sangria is the correct procedure, yes?

They really believe we don't work smh

Overdue massage revealed that I am essentially one giant knot 😩

"Merits" is Latin for "pale skin"

This is WAY more true than you think lol 😂

We are meeting thee most interesting people!

95% of the relationship is accountability and showing up 3% hunching 2% knowing they chipotle order

Realized yesterday that it no longer works for me to use "Black American dollars" as an expression of outrage over price 🥴

Time to rewatch The Good Place again

A classic

I have been contracted to make 200 pralines (an exciting development!) and something about listening to the blues helps the process

Finally saw Sinnerssss (was on my way to the theater yesterday when the power went out on my metro train because: multi-country blackout, but that's neither here nor there). Time to spend hours scrolling the memes I was avoiding

Sooo the power is out for the entire country of Portugal. Also Spain. And potentially others 😳

Every time I go to the beach I look around and wonder why I'm insecure about my body

Getting dressed and made up for an 8am meeting that ends up being camera-off

My god lunch is so important to me

Our new cleaning lady (€40 every two weeks!!) is great, but I got home yesterday and she had REARRANGED MY SPICE DRAWER?!

Please do not tell me to get something done "at my leisure" and then constantly check in for status updates. Is it oochie wally or is it one mic?!?

Contending with new pollens outchea 🤧

We're just entertainment
