T*ffany H*ddish really didn’t have to be in Bad Boys IV. I could easily see Luenell in that role and killing it. Any of the women comedian vets would’ve been a better choice.
The general consensus is that everyone groaned lol and basically said slim got a weird case, why is she around? Bc niggas ain’t forgot…
It’s also less about the performance, which also sucked, and more about there being countless better casting options.

Hella weird. Older lesbians be on predatory behavior a lot. They groom too. But folks rarely like to admit that it’s happening. Because women.
If you’re in a position to make someone’s life a little easier, do it. Do it without the grandstanding and keep it off social. Because they need help, not an audience.
Millions of deaths worldwide. Bodies having to be stored in freezers for nearly a year and more, all to have people look at you just like this for being considerate of public health is crazy af.
Seeing stories about Black men being released 20+ years after being convicted over a lie isn’t the feel good story these outlets keep pushing. Its heartbreaking.
My great-grandfather, Floyd A. Hawkins was a beekeeper. He taught the Boy Scouts of America the art of beekeeping up until he was 91 years old. 🖤 🐝✨

Lmao did I ever tell y’all about this Asian girl I dated and she sent me a video poppin pussy to “Shackles” by Mary Mary? And I had to tell her it was a gospel song? Jesus. I’ve never been so embarrassed FOR someone. ☠️🤦🏾♀️
I won 5 awards and became a published author in 5th grade. It was a big deal for my school and state. During the awards ceremony I was never acknowledged. But the 3 white runner up’s were. White women teachers claimed mine were lost. They gave them to me in private weeks later.

I went to the emergency room in ‘17 because I couldn’t feel my limbs. They thought I was there in search of pain killers. Prompted me to try to walk. I couldn’t. In short. My neck was broken. I ended up having 3 spinal reconstructive surgeries. One is still pending.
2017 I was paralyzed from the neck down. 2018 I died on an operating table. 2019 I worked feverishly to recover. 2020 I’m fully mobile again. Active, creating, flourishing in my career. 3 surgeries later I’m still growing and healing. 2021 the possibilities are endless. Grateful.
Rewatched a doc on Elizabeth Holmes. Nepotism and lunacy helped this woman raise close to a billion dollars on a product that held zero promise of working. Failing upwards is the whitest shit ever.
Praying for those directly and indirectly affected by the Key Bridge disaster in Baltimore today. Praying for hope and relief. Praying for folks hearts and their minds this morning.
While I am a safe space. A good listener - I’m not an emotional dumping ground. At least ASK me first before offloading your shit. Some days I’m good. Others I simply do not have it.
A woman that works in my building is leaving her 3 adult children the house and moving to Oregon to get away from them. They don’t know. She’s moving in a week. Said she’s had enough.
There is such a thing as being too understanding and accepting. Sometimes it speaks directly to how you wish folks handled you.. but the trickle down is This ain’t that.
did $500k in brand partnerships, got my first screenwriting credit, featured a documentary at Indie Memphis, had a few breakthroughs in therapy, completed a lecture series, I’m officially debt free, traveled more, got finer. Started my environmental blog.
Parents are responsible for teaching their children healthy communication, coping mechanisms, and routine. How can a kid do any of these things well when their parents don’t possess any of these skills?
@Respect_Capo
You hella tacky for this.. Instead you could’ve told homegirl discreetly instead of trying to embarrass her for something that’s natural. Cycles are hella irregular during hotter months. I’m sure she didn’t know. Asshole.
