Hey everyone. It’s been a while since I written on my blog, so I decided to write a post where I reflect on 2024 and get a little vulnerable: dev.to/cbid2/lost-a...

Hey everyone. In the spirit of good vibes Friday, how about we send a hug emoji or encouraging words to uplift my friend @kvlly.com? 😊 Sometimes, a small act of kindness can create the biggest impact. 😊
January has been the toughest month I’ve had mentally in a long time for so many reasons. I’m afraid to even wish for a better February out of fear of seeing things get worse.

That’s because Skeet is a sexual term in AAVE(African American Venecular English). Leave to non-cultured palm-colored folks to once again misuse a niche term 🙄
The people crying about us calling them skeets for engagement?

Yeah... We see yiu. Take that fake outrage back to Zitter.

It doesn't bother you that much.

Skeet hard, skeet often. Keep skeeting.

I don’t know if it’s me, but doesn’t anyone cringe with how the word “skeet” is being used to describe reposting or posting on BluSky? I mean the term is slang for something very, very different (for context, listen to “Get Low” by Lil Jon). I vote for something more wholesome like Rechirp.

Wow I just went to my profile and saw that I reached 1K followers! 🥳 I haven’t posted on here much(or X either) so this is probably a sign that I should start posting more lol 😂

2. Vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor
3. I’m an Oxford comma lover

Why do I picture Dionysus, Cupid, and Hestia watching these two scenes on a TV screen at Hades and Peresphone’s house? 😂 Context: This from a musical called Epic.
