My Christmas tree - which is usually up by the time I hear the first Bonnie M song in early November but this year I moved and it only went up after unpacking and arranging the whole house - is up!
Clap for me! 🤗

If anybody had told me that as the world fell apart around us the thing that would make me happier than pink in a rainbow would be TV shows about hotsadbatshitcrazy white men doing stuff...
... I'd say "sounds about right" 🥰

Americans saying "what's at stake here is free speech" have really never studied the making of a civil war anywhere in the Global South.

We can't catch a break under this clown. For so many Africans this is our reality, sending and receiving money between the US and home.
President Trump’s so-called “big beautiful bill,” includes a 3.5% tax on remittances by non-citizens. New analysis by The Continent shows this could raise transaction costs to over 9% in at least eight African countries, especially for small transfers.
Trump tax will cost some African senders 10% of remittance
According to the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, the average cost of sending remittances to Africa is 7.4%, even before the Trump tax kicks in.

Is it deluded vanity to say I want whatever treatment these stars do where they disappear for like 5-10yrs and come back with cleaver-clean cheekbones but I only want it if they don't slice your face up?
Cuz it looks hot 🔥
Maybe I just want the makeup...

I thought:
*firing people meant setting them on fire. Thought my Mom burned the housekeepers to death in the backyard
*flying by plane meant you'd gone to heaven
*when people died in movies they died in real life. So all 'dying' roles in Hollywood were only given to actors on their death beds
