True definition of made with love.

my biggest fear today is losing a press on nail 😟

Remember yall was like. “I’m not voting. I don’t like neither candidate. It’s not like it’s going to make a difference anyway!” Now look at you. Can’t afford food, gas, or plane tickets.

@hlovo_ @Octavious_A lmaooo

Just drop next week brother 😭😭

community college challenges every classist notion of education and academia and having access to it has changed my life. it should be preserved, supported, and destigmatized with everything we have. hard to name a more precious educational resource for those over 18.

it’s me, the Black parent, keeping traditions alive.

@jahblessmuff It sounds overwhelming to have to add one thing to multiple calendars and keep up with it 😟 I like using Google Calendar because you can add categories and filter to see what you want so it’s all not showing at once.

@afroazn So that I can have multiple reminders if necessary. Also, if I see too many things on there, I get overwhelmed

Don’t make no plans with me a week prior and think they’re definitive. I say yes to everything and overbook myself by accident. You gon have to get me excited about it all over again 1-2 days before for a more accurate answer

@DEATHBYPALMTREE 😂

i miss the twitter when everyone would yell at interns for terrible tweets from corporation accounts

I forgot early voting ends today, I meant to go yesterday 🥲

@CoolBreezeLT lmao it’s so good though!

Convinced y’all drink matcha for attention

@jahblessmuff three different? why not just combine them to make things simpler? but like I said you have to figure out what works for you, leaving it for others to figure out is never the way, even if they will lol.

@afroazn I use 3 different calendars. I’ll have reminders set for the day before and 30mins before and still forget shit. Even with being medicated.

as long as I have the capacity, I will always have time.

people usually don’t seek out advice unless they feel someone brings clarity, perspective, or calm to situations that feel uncertain. in a world with so much information being curated and thrown at them, they chose to ask me.

there’s something really meaningful about becoming a trusted voice in people’s working lives. it is truly an honor that I am valued in this way to multiple people with very different needs.

@nhoodpublicist yes yes and yes. I felt this with my soul.

Community is so much more than my friends. It’s the barista who knows what I’m drinking based on the day of the week it is. The neighbor who sees my package has been sitting on my porch too long, grabs it for me and brings it over when they see I’m home. The old coworker I haven’t spoken to since we left that job but they still think to say my name when an opportunity arises. It’s the homeless man that post up at the same spot on Friday that knows I’m going to buy him food for the day and a 6 pack of beer. It’s the maintenance man who’ll pull up a little faster for you because he knows you’re gonna have him a snack and treat em like a person. It’s my cleaning lady I helped navigate a terrible divorce and death of her child. It’s the followers on social media who support my work. Community is all of us who give af about each other and show up the best we can.

@jahblessmuff yes you can, you just have to figure out what works for you to remember, don’t put the extra responsibility on them. I used to do that too but now I add any plans to my calendar whether it’s work or personal. it’s the only way I can keep up chile!

@afroazn lol it’s the adhd friend. I can’t help it

I love this book so much omg. The feels, I’m in them 😭

starting a writing group was a great idea. intentional time to live in the present. to be creative and vulnerable. to share without judgment. body doubling.

Random but Peak girlhood is flipping through a magazines or watching a music video with your friends going “I’m her!” Everytime a pretty black girl hit the screen iykyk 😂
