ebook cover for "GET PAID: 5 FREE Things To Do Now" by Ruth Nineke. Cover images shows a hand with long nails and jewelry hovering over a laptop.

Screenshot from the "GET PAID" ebook. Introduction text reads: "Get Ready to get paid

The quicket way to make money online is to build trust. This ebook details five things you can do now to gain fast credibility and get paid for doing what you love. Are you ready?" The right side of the screenshot shows a young woman wearing a cap with a laptop on her lap. White text over the photo reads: "THE FIVE THINGS"

The way this show has made me and one of my besties SCREAM furiously. I hate/love that mess. But Taylor deserves a spinoff.

Is why they’re dismantling student loans, they’re tired of poor peoples’ kids outpacing their nepo babies and fail sons because student loans level the playing field (and it doesn’t even do that because then the poor people have to live under the gauntlet of student debt)

The hard truth(s) noone wants to admit to themselves, let alone be told by others:

You're time on this planet is limited. And you don't know when it's done either.

You're in charge of what you do with it, so when you give it away that's on you.

MAKE TIME NOT EXCUSES

Life is for a limited time only, FYI. You deserve to reach your max potential before your number’s punched.

The way to what you want is through your fear. You gotta bust down those blocks by facing them and naming them. Then nothing can stop you.

Tap back in to what you love and get what you want.

The only other way is complicity, acceptance, surrender.

People didn't die for you to be cowards.

Ruth Nineke @ruthnineke.bsky.social · 2h

Taking what the US is doing with ICE, taking that sitting down is a disgrace to everyone who came and fought before you. Everyone who fought, labored and died for dignity.

It's not enough to be outraged.

You have to overthrow that government. Yesterday.

There is literally no other way.

Bro what is it like to literally have no culture besides death, theft, and violence and then turn around and call everyone else a criminal?

Whiteness is so embarrassing no wonder Rachel dolezal don't wanna claim it 🫠

Guys I finally watched all of Valley Girl this afternoon before my nap and I can not recommend it enough.

1983, Nicolas Cage. A love story for the ages. Also, he's really that guy. He just takes over the screen. You almost really believe they were in love.

We need more movies like this. No joke.

Ruth Nineke @ruthnineke.bsky.social · 1d

mid-week wind down vibes. emails sent and tomorrow is mad content making day. watching a movie that came out the year before I was born

Title screen for the 1983 movie called 'Valley Girl"
Hot pink block letters spell "VALLEY GIRL" over a helicopter view of the Valley in Los Angeles. LOTS of greenspaces.

An overhead, detailed promotional graphic for "Nineke Creative's Complete Toolkit" against a soft-focus background of a person's legs and white sneakers on a purple floor. The image is a collage of rectangular panels. In the center, a large cream-colored panel over a photo of a laptop keyboard lit in pink and orange reads: "BONUS BUNDLE. FREE online resources for creatives plus promo formulas, scripts, &amp; templates. NINEKE CREATIVE www.ruthnineke.co". Surrounding the central panel are five smaller panels, each representing a part of the toolkit: Top left: "BUILD: Connection &amp; Trust," showing a smiling Black woman in an apron holding a whisk. Bottom left: "ALIGN: The Mission &amp; The Message," showing an Asian woman writing at a desk. Top right: "CLAIM IT: Choosing web hosting," showing hands typing on a laptop. Middle right: "WRITING COPY," showing a person's hands at a laptop with a plant on the desk. Bottom right: "MEET THE FUNNEL," showing two women in conversation. At the top of the entire image, the text reads "NINEKE CREATIVE'S COMPLETE TOOLKIT". At the bottom, large text says "Activate Your Business Goals," with "RUTHNINEKE.CO" underneath. The overall color scheme is dominated by shades of purple, pink, and magenta.

But first, breakfast and client stories

A laptop is opened to an image editing software screen. A mouse on top of a notebook. A bag of chips set against the wall beside the laptop. Assorted yellow packages before the chips include eucalyptus syrup, sour patch gummy candy, and vitamin C tablets. A roll of cookies with strawberry filling are on the other side of the chips with a day planner set before it.

Also it's Black women online with experience and education clocking the shade in the lyrics and I'm personally believing ALL Black women.

I never truly expected Taylor to speak on Gaza or to give up her PJ. But girl what you not doing is shade Black women.

When you've prev used them as props.
