Gosh. It almost feels like I'd been off of this app forever. Did anybody miss me? I know you didn't but just say you did, and give me a thumbs up while you're at it.😜

Bessie Coleman was the first Black woman to fly an airplane. When American flying schools denied her entrance due to her race, she taught herself French and moved to France, earning her license from Caudron Brother's School in just seven months. She specialized in stunt flying & aerial tricks.

Yesterday, I took a social media and msm detox.
Without negative distractions, I worked on my writing projects, exercise, actual sleep, mindfulness, therapy, my family & volunteering.
When you feel helpless, search for purpose; within self-care & compassionate community action. 🧵

I was let out of school early today, and I feel so creatively numb and unproductive. What's one self-benefiting thing I can do to shake this off? Something simple but meaningful—any ideas?

Here’s a line from today’s poem that I can’t stop thinking about:
‘The sky folds itself,
a tired love letter sealed with rain.’
What does it remind you of? Let’s turn this into a thread of spontaneous creativity. Share your lines with me!
