Smitty from Up North

Northside Chi. Atl Living. Demi's dad. Candis' Husband. Morehouse Man. Sigma Man. IT Project Manager. Chicago sports victim. I enjoy stand-up comedy. I get out the country a couple times a year. A perfect day includes a beautiful view from a rooftop bar.
Caught a matinee for Gladiator 2. It's not as good as the first one, but it's definitely more entertaining than the first one. #gladiator2

MIT announced that it would eliminate tuition costs next fall for all undergraduate students whose families earn less than $200,000 per year — following a national movement to try to make higher education more accessible. nyti.ms/3V6GVia

Having a baby at 40 after living your whole 20s & 30s life is for real surreal. She's now 3 & a half, but every day, I'm like, "yo, I have a child!"

As an old nigga, bringing back old viral clips from the aughts is hilarious. I showed some 25 year olds 2 girls 1 cup. Watching them watch that shit was literally hilarious!!!

Extremely powerful!
I’m reading more “takes” about how we got here. And they all begin and end with Trump and myopically refuse to see what’s right in front of us. Oh, America. We may be fully lost, but we need to face why. So, I’m reposting my take. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

This place is like stumbling upon a new bar, and everyone is cool and vibey. Enjoy it while it lasts as it's only a matter of time before the vibe killers make their way around here.

Skeets is going to take some getting used to. It took me 20 years, but I just removed that word from my lexicon in 2023.

I don't know if I'm ready for the following...

"You see that skeet?

"This skeet is crazy!"

"Cuh be wildin in her skeets!"
You heard it here, directly from the CEO. They’re called “skeets”.
We call them “posts”

It's so refreshing to read skeets/tweets/flutters/whatevers outside of the influence of Elon. Yall are some interesting people.

Non-Tech people and Houston just ruined AfroTech. When it was in Austin, everything was all good. 48 hours of AfroTech in Houston, and my wife is like, "it's Freaknic w/ computers." Now I'm banned. Mind you, I didn't even go this year! #AfroTech #BlackSky
