If you’re as obsessed with @GovWhitmer’s lip color as I am, she gets her lipstick at The Lip Bar in Detroit (black & woman owned!). The color is called “Big Gretch” obviously 💕 💄

Welp, it happened. Got bullied in the comments of a project I was really proud of. If you ever think of saying anything negative to an artist who is just trying to do good work, please remember there are humans behind the work with real feelings and tears.

@taylor_vahey the whole dating culture has shifted incredibly within the last ten years that I truly think everyone needs to learn how to human again because the way we're all treating eachother ain't right-- but I will say there are gems in the rough and you can always approach people too!.

@_ryanruby_ I kinda think people don’t know how to human anymore, and we are making everything from friendship to dating ridiculously hard when it doesn’t need to be (whether it be on an app or a focused event). people need to get comfy with living life—just talk, grab a number if someone’s.

where does one dance in bk/nyc? not a club, but a fun crowded-ish bar with good vibes and probably a sticky floor, good-enough yet danceable music, and you’ve probably made out with a rando or got a number from someone you never texted there.
