I can't change my @, dont call me Samira or any version of my government name.
I am Peridot going forward.
When I was around 8 years old my mom let my younger sister and I audition for some child talent agency. I was a shy anxious kid but I wanted to model dance sing you name it. And what do you know, they wanted me. They did not want my sister. And that is why my mom did not sign me up.

Just left what should have been the best job ever but management was so undersqualified. I know children with more leadership skills.

My manager smelled like 3 day ripe ball sack today. So glad I was sent home early so I dont have to experience that all day.

As a kid I really loved Christmas Eve. Christmas often ended up being too overstimulating for me so Christmas Eve was my favorite part. until teenage years. Now I dont celebrate Christmas, I celebrate the solstice I guess. But I yearn for traditions with loved ones. That's what I miss this season.

I'm a Witch and not religious at all but The Prince of Egypt by DreamWorks Animation is one of those movies I played over and over again as a kid. I rewatched it today and Cried immediately.

RFK Jr. has cancelled federal grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, claiming the work they fund “no longer aligns with departmental priorities.” Those grants weren’t about ideology.

Been reading this book on and off since around June, with 20 Chapters left (roughly 200 pages) I have decided my goal is to finish by the end of this month (/end of the year).

I stopped using Spotify over the summer because of their funding military AI and am not shocked but full disgusted when I heard they are playing ICE recruitment ads

Dear Executives,

Please know the American people are going to turn your business upside down as soon as you bend the knee to this fascist regime.

See what happened to Target? 40% loss in value and CEO fired.

We’re doing that to Disney/ABC now, and you’ll be next 🙂.

Sincerely,
Your Customers

I think i am gender fluid because sometimes I catch my reflection and think "damn girl, built like a goddess!" and other times I think "damn bro I forgot a had boobs 😕"

My toxic trait is that I want men to worship me like a goddess if they are gonna waste any of my time 😂

meanwhile if a cute non-man person talks to me I am nothing but a puddle, please take my time and money.

Stop calling them your best friend, if you really love them thats your platonic life partner. You are married now.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

You have two options as an adult:
1. Do all of your errands and cleaning and personal to-dos on one or all of your days off (if you have any in this economy) and do leisure before/after work
2. Do all of your errands and cleaning and to-dos before/after work so you can do leisure on your days off.

Plenty of wedding venues that aren't reminders of Slavery and the legacy of colonialism. Re-evaluate your life if you think this property burning down is worth crying over.
🧵The largest plantation in the South burned down this week.
And the way white folks—especially wedding vendors—are mourning “memories” and “brides who won’t get to have their special day there”?

It’s giving cognitive dissonance.

Because let’s be real...
