I don’t know why unemployed people getting temporary money to survive triggers so many folks. It’s very disturbing. It’s like anything that takes away the feeling that they’re better than someone else leaves them unsure.
Billy Porter did an incredible interview recently where he says, “I’m done with teaching moments for folks who don’t want to learn nothing,” and... yeah. That’s about right. That’s where I’m sitting.
I've said before that we need to be more comfortable giving people the help they ASK for, not the help YOU think they need. The latter is ego. It's not kindness.
I heard “I Invented Sex,” today and every time I remember what a complete vibe that Ready album was, I’m pissed at what an absolutely awful human TS turned out to be.
I hate people bringing up diseases that slender people can get also to scare fat people.
My mama ain’t fat. Ain’t never been fat. You know what she’s had since I was 12? Diabetes.
I’m the fattest fat bitch in the land. Been fat 30 years. You know what I don’t got? Diabetes.
98% of all dating advice is trash. Most of these people walking around in relationships just got lucky. That's why the advice is so contradictory and baseless. They can't tell YOU what to do, bc most of them don't even know what THEY did.
I’m sad Chloe and Halle didn’t win though. I mean, “Ungodly Hour,” and their tennis court really kept us during this Peter Pan; their performances helped us push through. They deserve something for that.
A lot of are y’all ugly on the inside. And condescending. And self-righteous. And elitist. And rude. And THATS why no listens to you. Not because you’re a nerd, or an independent thinker. Or “bucking against the status quo.” Because you’re ugly. On the inside.
I’m about to run and do a Target pickup. Why I just sat here and said, “I don’t really need to be going out this time of night.” Yall it’s 5:30 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There’s almost no amount of careful that will stop a man who’s intent on harming you. They overpower you. They have their way. Constantly saying be careful when 1) we are and 2) most of the time it doesn’t make a difference is a slap in the face.
I’m not very deep into this Meg situation but I will say this: it hurts and angers me to see Black women picked apart and questioned all the time. When she lost her mother, people questioned her grief. When she was doing homework, people questioned her commitment to her studies
Shoutout to the dads in the QTs like, “Nah. We’re at everything.” Lol.
On another note, as a childless aunt, dads like Akon are why we fill in so many gaps.
Akon defends Nick Cannon having numerous kids with multiple women, says events with children like dance recitals aren't important:
"That's a White man's thing. Who gives a f*ck about a recital?"
Remember to be kind to each other today. Mind your own body. And your own plate. And your own romantic involvements. And your own reproductive system. Stop invading peoples privacy for entertainment.
But why do all this when you could just find a woman that doesn’t require you to give her anything? Why try to break *her* established boundary instead of finding someone compatible to yours?
I hate when people say, “you can’t take a joke,” just because someone recognizes that you told the “joke” to be cruel, and not to be funny.
Because now you’re insulting my intelligence.
Conversation overheard between mother and son.
Son: It’s Friday. Friday is when the kids go to work.
Mom: Work? Doing what?
Son: Since there’s no school, kids have two days to teach moms and dads how to be a kid again. That’s why we go places and do stuff.
Y’all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now, she was assaulted, her life endangered and people are picking that apart too. Now her politics are in question. Her allegiance. Her pain. It’s so angering. And tiring. That young woman was victimized. And hurt. And you idiots should be ashamed of yourselves
I had a mean partner before. I didn’t want him to be mean to me; I never wanted that. But I was so eager to be partnered that I let him. I didn’t push back against it. I thought if I showed him enough kindness he’d stop. Or if he saw how it hurt me, he’d stop. He never did.
Ladies. Babies. My beautiful loves. When you’re lotioning your body, a few drops of lavender or tea tree oil in your moisturizing cream will help keep the bugs off you.
Yes. Bc if you need time to collect your thoughts or temper your anger before continuing you can say that. The silent treatment as a means of freezing your partner out when they need to communicate or as a means of punishment when they don’t communicate to your liking is abusive
Y’all. YALL. Today was the annual BHM Booklover’s Breakfast sponsored by Mahogany Books and the Pratt library and the special guest was Walter Mosley. I met THEE WALTER MOSLEY today.
I’ve been listening to 16 Carriages on repeat.
Also—Black people! Don’t over complicate the Texas Hold Em line dance, whenever y’all come up with it. Cause that Tamia one has caused enough division in the community.
Brutal honesty focuses mostly on the brutal part. You want to work out your unresolved ambivalence/ dislike on other people by pushing them around. I don’t trust anyone who relishes the opportunity to be unkind.
I don’t know why complete honesty needs to be brutal, ever. There is absolutely a way to give appropriately-timed, necessary, kindly-delivered, complete truth.
Many of us have been doing it so long we’re not even completely conscious of it. It becomes reflex to move a certain way so as not to risk having to interact with them too much.
Man. “I’m unhappy,” is a valid reason to leave anything—a city, a job, a relationship. Anything. Life is too fucking short. And happiness has to worked on. So if you doing the work, and you’re still UNhappy, change whatever you need to change. Whatever.
Please don't learn to live with it. You deserve a partner that's kind to you. Respectful, tactful, gentle. And a lot of men who convey aggression with their words do it with their hands not long after. PLEASE don't "learn to live with it." 😐😔
Janelle throwing ass, Victoria Monet throwing ass, the Renaissance tour done started. It’s really gon be a summer of body rolling in dresses with no panties.
I’m definitely getting a girlfriend.
The loneliness. The alone-ness. Nobody really prepares you for the moments when you HAVE to face the world alone because there's no other choice. When you have to push through because nobody's coming to save you.
To All My Beautiful Fat Girls:
We keep each other going on here. Sometimes we all we got. I love y’all so much. Take up all the space you need, today and every day. Wear the cutest clothes. Fluff your hair. Shake your ass. I see you. I got you. Happy Valentines Day.

It’s where I am right now. The joy of not having to share anything is so crazy. Like. This is my world, and no one enters unless I say so. And no one stays. It’s glorious.
I follow a lot of people on Twitter who are good at discourse, who make their points eloquently. I admire them.
But I see the way some of you treat those who don't articulate as well as you do, or as you think they should.
I see you. I see you.
