Silent Siren✨

I love being able to turn someone’s energy and mood around. It’s such a nice feeling. If you can leave an encounter with me feeling better than how you came, I did what I was supposed to do.

I hate “gauge” questions. Don’t ask me 3 feeler questions before you get to the point. Say what you mean up front without all the pussyfooting.

Proverbs 16:3 "Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out."

you can follow christ and still have a personality, a sense of humor, creativity, and style. faith was never meant to make you boring.

I love your voice >>>>

Every word of this

Don't everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr forget the tremendous privilege that it is to be healthy, to have a job and food. Don't minimize it, nor ever lose sight of it. And above all, be grateful for it.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project. She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it. Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda. Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly. She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype. Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection. The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table. Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests. Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

Lolll there’s truly a word for everything

there is something beautiful about having long term friends that have witnessed multiple versions of you and loved you unconditionally through each version.

you literally gotta include God in everything you do

You can start over on a random Wednesday and decide you want more out of life.

I'll take MY MAN on a full night out & swipe MY card with a smile thats why I be on hush mode when yall talk... GOOD men deserve to be treated well too‼️

Your 30s is still young, You just too old to be doing dumb shit

I thoroughly enjoyed the Malcolm in the Middle mini series. If you watched that show growing up, I recommend giving it a watch.

I need movies to outgrow the “running in the path of the falling thing” trope. Please run horizontally smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

DONT get lazy on you, you promised yourself & prayed for it. Get to work

People who move the goalpost piss me off so bad because what the actual f are you talking about..

Normalize saying a prayer when you notice a shift in your mood 🙏🏿🙏🏿
