Sib 1 accidentally transferred $$ into sib 2’s account.

The family chat has not known peace since 6:15 am.

Me, I am voting we all divide it up so everyone gets $12 for the emotional distress this whole thing has caused.

Boosting! This would be a great nonprofit or social entrepreneurship idea for someone.

(Allergens and special diets are also an issue for food relief programs. It’s complicated!)
i really wish there were meal kits that catered to people with allergies. All the ones i’ve checked don’t have gluten free or dairy free, or only have one when i need both. i can’t have seafood either.

Dear Grammarly,

You are doing too f*#%ing much.

All your beta suggestioms are carrion wrapped in rotting bananas, dipped in old milk.

Sincerely,
An old head.

My momma bestie is my auntie
My auntie friend that go to her church is also my auntie
My 75 year old cousin... is also my auntie

"Auntie" is what happens when you understand the expansive proposition of family

"That's not your aunt" is what happens when you live outside of restorative community

Good morning, beloved.

Never use your thoughts & prayers as substitutes for your commitment & action.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Yeah, that has a lot to do with it, too! The more we let people off the hook with the plausible deniability of "I didn't know" when the idea they wouldn't know is ridiculous on the face of it, the more cover we give actual extremists!

The best thing that happened today was the nephew sending me a weather update with his location set to 5 mins away from my place.

He lives 6 states away and just decided to stop by.

I. Am. Loved.

A narrative vacuum now exists in Kenyan politics. Ruto has the least legitimacy of any president in democratic Kenyan history. He was in the process of buying legitimacy and political capital from figures like Raila. How will the political class respond to the vacuum? is my question of the day.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

the black church needs a Rumspringa strictly for black girls. a mandatory couple of years of unlearning bullshit about your body, hair, complexion, other women, weight, sexuality, red nail polish and lipstick, hoodoo, clothing, etc.. maybe travel, or get the sonic rings knocked out of you. idk.

Gosh, @wamu.org.web.brid.gy

Did you have to air that clip about a shooting in Minnesota like that?

It seemed as if that event was happening all over again!!

A care warning, next time, please?

Toni Morrison said, “Sometimes you don’t survive whole, you just survive in part.” Still, that survival can mean a hell of a lot.

As Audre Lorde said, “We must remember and comfort ourselves with that fact that survival is, in itself, a victory.”

Perestroika in Paris has to be the most fanciful book I have ever read.

I hate the word *anxiousness*

It’s my brain’s equivalent of moist.

Let’s stop making it happen.

I propose we use angst or anxiety.
