it’s damn near impossible for me to relike people. i’m never going to like you as much as i did the first time. i’ll never fully care again.

The way my body physically reacts to stress is a clear sign that I'm a soft girl

I loveee an unpunishable woman. After you’ve taken accountability & forgiven yourself, don’t allow anyone to berate you

Me remembering how far the Lord has brought me 🩵

Best decision tbh. Would get rapped around like a Christmas gift. Y'all stay blessed 🙏🏾

A nurse I used to work with got fired so suddenly it didn’t make sense. She was always the first one on the floor and usually the last one to leave. She picked up extra shifts when people called in sick, trained new hires without being asked, and even brought food for the team during long rotations. Patients would literally ask if she was working because they trusted her that much. One afternoon she got called into HR. Ten minutes later she walked out with red eyes, holding a small box with her things. Management told everyone she had an “attitude problem.” No warnings. No write-ups. Nothing. A few weeks later we found out she had reported a senior doctor for making comments about her body and asking personal questions that made her uncomfortable during shifts. He’s still there. Still respected. Still mentoring younger staff. Still laughing in the hallways like nothing happened. She lost her income, her routine, and the career she worked years to build.
All because she spoke up.

@yvessirae The hardest part about doing the right thing is that the consequences aren’t always fair.

@_realitychec Galveston and many parts of Texas always have had Juneteenth celebrations, but this is actually not a good idea because we don’t at all need people to turn it into yet another cheeks out, ass up cookout because they won’t bother to learn actual traditions.

I really think some people are going out of their way to be mean/overly critical about this Mama Tina gumbo situation.

I can’t believe beat king missing everything that’s going on in Houston right now 😭

Yawning in the club is definitely my brand

25 years ago, Destiny’s Child performed ‘So Good’ on ‘The Famous Jett Jackson’ (2000)

The reason why we are in anti-intellectualism phase rn is because we don’t have intergenerational crossovers to display the arts

And I mean ALWAYS

You also realise he was so real for saying this

I highly recommend NOT MAKING LIFE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND. Do not stay close to home for them, do not skip opportunities for them, do not pick a university that's close for them. They not the world! Grow yourself, expand your horizons PLEASE.

the way i am so attracted to smoke and not attracted to stack at all is why this man deserves that oscar

“Sorry bro, you can’t hang with us. You cheat on your wife.” This is what should be normalized

they in the comments talking bout “not you venus” LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A luxury of having (ample) money is you date because you want to, not for survivability.
