For the first time in my life, I have both 3 over ripe bananas and blueberries in my house at the same time.
Is this the universe nudging me? Do I have the other ingredients? Hold please...

Joy is walking behind your super serious husband at EPCOT & dancing to the music like a white girl hearing Ke$ha and he can't see you.
Then he sees you and disappointedly dishes his head. But that's on him. He knows who he married.

Imma say this a little louder for the people on the back.

IF ANY DEMOCRATIC LAW MAKER IS IMPLICATED OF WRONG DOING IN THE EPSTEIN FILES, THEY SHOULD BE TRIED, CONVICTED AND SENT DIRECTLY TO JAIL.

Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail.
