I really liked #Shibuya. #Harajuku got a little overwhelming.

Did I mention that we ate? Your girl has Alpha Gal Syndrome, so I couldn’t be knee deep in ramen, but I definitely didn’t starve.

My. Fuji. 😭 We first got a glimpse of Mt. Fuji at Lake Kawaguchi through the clouds. Then we stopped at the infamous Lawson’s with a view. And finally, on my last day in Japan, the clouds cleared and I could see her in all her glory from my hotel room.

We did a few nerdy things - Studio Ghibli, Sanrio Portland, Disney Tokyo. 🤓

The correct answer is triangular on everything except fried bologna sandwiches. Leave that shit regular, don’t even cut it.
Alright, y’all, serious question:

Triangular-cut sandwich?
-or-
Square-cut sandwich?

What a tragedy.
51 is so young.
An RVA legend.
Long live, D’Angelo. 💔
Very sad news…

The incredible D’Angelo has died.

A pioneer of the neo-soul movement, he was 51.

His musical legacy continues to have a massive impact today.

This means that his son, Michael, has lost both his mother, Angie Stone, and his father within just a matter of months.

Thisss. Y’all, please get it together. Flu and COVID are amping up already. If washing your hands is too big of an inconvenience, keep your doo doo hands at home.
So many folks don’t wash their nasty ass hands

100% accurate!!! Stop with the ridiculousness!!!
people stay getting this confused, when it is so easy.

If the WMATA doesn't touch it, it's not the DMV.

Take this picture. Draw a Circle that connects all of last stops.

Everything inside that circle is the DMV.

A sweet little Carolina Wren laid some eggs in my #Greenstalk. Idk how we are going to coexist, but we’re going to make this work. I’m going to be a Grandmama! 🥲

One time someone tried to tell me that there are no Black people in Virginia, expressing concern that I live here. Have you even been here? He lived in Illinois, btw. 🤦🏾‍♀️
