The enemies are fear and shame, the voices inside of you that say you're not worthy of great things. Cast them aside and claim your birth right.

Meet the Grahams was the death blow. Not Like Us was the victory lap.
I know “Not Like Us” was the biggest hit out of the beef, but Meet The Grahams really stuck the knife in, twisted it, and snapped off.

Omg YES! Charge it to my head and not my heart
Another thing when y’all say “if they aren’t texting back; they don’t like you.”

I don’t like that because I might like you but I have ADHD, probably on bluesky, things to do, tasks to half way complete, my dog probably begging, had too much caffeine, I’m overstimulated, overthink, & overwhelmed!

It’s that time of year. Learn some Indigenous history. Look up which tribes land you live on. Remember tomorrow is a day of mourning for so many Native people so be respectful & if you choose not to celebrate even better. Support Indigenous owned businesses & end genocides! #thanksgiving
