I’ve made it here from the other place*.
Hoping to find my people, even if they’re new (as long as they’re real).
I’m not abandoning my home, but I’m a rich bitch so I’m investing in myself.
*(aka I’m still on Twitter too)
Let’s be kind to each other; we deserve one another. 🖤💙🤍

I’m Brittany (Brit-tany, she/her, andro), an educator living & working in the American South with roots in the U.K.
I’m looking to create an intentionally Black space to nourish, laugh, & feel authentic.
I’m fairly corny, big, random & funny, other things too.
Hello! Welcome! Let’s be friends. 🖤💙

Each day that passes is another day closer to me raiding academic databases for critical analyses and dissertations on OutKast.
Somewhere is a person who wrote their PhD dissertation on Andre 3000’s verse in “Int’l Players Anthem” and, sir and/or ma’am, I am your exact audience.

According to Timehop, it’s my 1-year anniversary of being here in the skies!
This is an unusual place, one with kindness and niches that fit quite nicely.
It’s swell being here with all of you. 🖤🖤💙

The night class said Teresa Weatherspoon wasn’t attractive so now I have to decide if I’m staying employed or failing all of them.

When parents are your worst op:
Have a student whose mum calls in every class and keeps them on the phone for 10-20 minutes. And if they don’t answer, she just keeps calling on repeat until her child answers.
Every class — meaning not just mine.
On repeat. Until they answer.
And then a 15 chat.

My vet is a walking Hallmark movie and it absolutely tickles me:
Small town vet who married the big city exec who moved back to her hometown to escape the rat race.
She just took him on a corporate retreat to Mexico and I love that for him.

I had a whole meeting this afternoon and the person could not for the life of them remember what lie they’d already told.
Would lie and say X, I’d explain why X was a problem, then they’d try to gaslight me and swear they said Y (also wrong).
Just every which way BUT the truth. 🙄🙄

A snapshot of the kind of man my mother’s husband is:
Called her and they’re driving. As soon as she answers, he begins intentionally turning the radio up until it’s deafening and my mother cannot hear.

My granddaddy would take me to Dairy Queen and we would split a Butterfingers Blizzard and when we drove back, he’d let me sit on his lap.
I was the only granddaughter for a while, but I was the only one he ever took.
That and feeding the cows and the pigs. 🖤🖤🖤

Also, I get so annoyed at how bummed and upset I get.
I don’t have kids! I don’t even like holidays!
But it makes me so sad that I don’t get to participate. Which is sad in and of itself.

Such a silly thing, but one of the things I was looking forward to about the super-burbs was the trick-or-treaters.
I was excited about being a part of someone’s tradition, but I didn’t choose my super-burbs correctly I guess.

A work rant (since I can’t say it in the real world because I like being employed):
You are a TERRIBLE worker and an EVEN WORSE leader.
The reason shit NEVER GETS DONE is because of YOU.
If you’re on a team, you will volunteer for everything and only complete what is fun/fits into your hobbies.
