I went to a masseuse who’s also a certified stretchologist (that ain’t the proper word but that’s what I’m going with). That lady turned me every which way but loose. Talking about, “sis, you gotta relax.” Sorry, lady, you got me folded up like a pretzel, it’s a little hard to relax.

My clients are all teenage girls at a residential facility. In session today, one of them asked if I could make her shrimp Alfredo because she just knows I can cook.
Me: Is it because I’m fat?
Her: No, because you’re Black (so is she) … 👀
Them kids be eating me up!

To know me is to know I LOVE Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. I pre-ordered his memoir as soon as it was announced but she’s thick! Almost 500 pages. I think I might have to wait for the winter holidays to dive in. Doesn’t mean I love Li-Nel any less 😂

Belly dancing class this morning, bagel making class this afternoon. Belly dancing got my arms, shoulders and hips hurting. I hope bagel making will be kinder.

FB reminded me 2 years ago tonight I was sat for the final show of the Renaissance tour. And now where am I? Still waiting on that lady to give us a movie, any movie. Hell, mashup Renaissance & Cowboy Carter

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.
