It’s a weird feeling to feel spiritually tethered to the South as a Black woman with roots between Georgia, Alabama & Tennessee but…feel like you need to leave the South in order to soar. I’m struggling with this myself honestly.

A little drunk and the uncle at the bar unabashedly flirting with me. Time to go home! ✌🏽

Bun & cheese or spicy beef patty?

The season finale of #Hacks nearly made me seize when it was suggested that Deborah died and I was so relieved that didn’t happen that it distracted me from how once again she was on time to be predictably cruel to Ava. Such a great show but the emotional rollercoaster!!!!

My running theory is that a lot of men who perform material generosity online with pictures & videos of their grand gestures to an audience of strangers are terrorizing the women that they’re with offline. It’s all a show and their abuse is the hidden stage.

This piece, “Ghost Note,” from the Lorna Simpson: Source Notes exhibit The Metropolitan Museum of Art continues to haunt me.

I think one of the most damning parts of adulthood is having to contend with what you thought was mostly difficult friends & family but was really abuse. Naming that abuse outright + how it has shaped your nervous system can be healing but initially is shocking & so fucking sad.

After Atlanta, Brian Tyree Henry Is “Reclaiming” His Name Following Donald Glover’s juggernaut and Dope Thief, Henry is ready for a new phase. “I want to get to the cashmere level of my career: I get to be in love. I get to be kissed.” vanityfair.com/hollywood/bria…

HELLO. The average American reads at a 7th grade level. Publications lean into this captioning bc the avg consumer *engages* with it and — I hate to say it — neglects heavily reported stories. Was always baffling to see which stories performed well at HuffPost & which didn’t.

The greatest part about being assertive as hell + never hesitating to set a boundary or communicate a limit is that it almost always works out in your favor. You can’t be accommodated if you don’t speak up though.

I’m about to board a flight for one of the greatest trips of my career for the next week. Feeling blessed, grateful and a little weepy. See y’all on the other side.

When my grandma led the cooking, we ate by 3pm. When my mom, aunts and uncles led the cooking, we ate by 6pm. When my siblings, cousins and I cook, we eat at 10:45pm.

Disney adults scare me.

Generally think we should know less about each other overall

I dated someone who was 34 when I was 28. I get the hesitancy around age gaps in relationships but this is not that. Let’s please wrap this insufferable discourse up.

Darkchild told me the story of making "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child, revealing that the song was inspired by a trip to the UK with the Spice Girls and that it was made in one day:

I’m 5’10” so I care a lot actually. Not straight but you get the gist. 😭

No shade but *these* are the people who insist on keeping their exes as friends after a breakup. 😭 Highly prefer my method of nuking folks out of my life than this pedantic nonsense.

Tipsy off two glasses of cava and about to get ready for dinner, drinks and being beautiful. Also: I’m on a Viking cruise for the next week! 🤭 A dream! 🥹🚢✨

People I don’t want be around: - folk who say interesting like inner-rehst-ting - those who only put on lotion on the parts of their legs that will be seen in their outfit - folk who keep all their exes in their friendship circle to prove their morality - misogynists & racists
