This shit used to infuriate me.
White people will tell you that you look like another Black person and yall will have literally no similarities but the glasses on your faces. This is the most recent egregious offense. Ex Football player Mike Singletary. Should I go slap them or nah ??

My partner just sent me Shameia Crawford's NO like "this is my anthem"
And I howled bc that's my homie's sister.
She is so funny. My homie, his wife, his sister, and her husband are fucking hilarious. She was a real life church singer growing up so she got them pipes!

It works to keep me from being a complete sociopath. But I've had to beat its ass up and down the street repeatedly over the last few years to get it under control.
the people pleaser in me is slowly dying as i get older.

It's funny how people are jumping on every other Senate Dems ass for the 8 bullshit DINOs that flipped.
How many times do I have to post this.
Stop voting for WHITE DEMOCRATS. There is almost a statistical 0% chance of a white man/woman moving leftward.
Stop giving them power!

The pain that comes with realizing they never GAF (hyperbole but still) and that nothing will ever change.
I don't hear from any of the rel. that claimed to care about me. I don't use "family" in the way most do. Family is ppl that have your interest forefront.
Relatives are ppl born close to u

I'm also saying this because you should treat your voter registration strategically, and not as a form of identity.

Absolutely not and BLOCK as many as you can before you even start the job especially your boss. Yes you make friends and have a few but that is a vetting process 😎

There's often a suggestion that sex-favorable ace people have an easy road. But sex-favorable asexuality is still asexuality.
Sex-favorable asexuality *is* asexuality.
Being sex-favorable isn't an "easier" form of asexuality.

A 50-year mortgage isn’t “help for homebuyers.”
The bank owns you for half a century.
Nobody wants to buy a house at 30 and still be paying for it at 80.
This isn’t affordability — it’s a slow-motion wealth transfer.
Only the banks win. Everyone else just grows old paying interest.
