I think she took a photo when she got to the car and they let her in. And all the people who sent her money was like, “But… the car???”

She was crashing out and everyone was clowning her. And I was like, “But what if that was all she had to eat!?” And I was DEAD SERIOUS! 😂😂😂

Twitter was fun when "Black Twitter" meant a certain group of individuals and not just any Black person with a Twitter account. It became less fun when people like Feminista Jones and that Jamilah girl were going to seminars about "Black Twitter"

Yeah. Folks were mad when they put it together and realized what they did. Wasn’t part of the grift that she said she was leaving him? I can’t remember if that was her or someone else.

I’m just going to cry tonight. I don’t even have the jokes for this.

I’ve also just considered raising money to make sure my affairs are in order but I don’t like thinking about the fact I am walking around like a ticking time bomb.

It’s going to cost a little over $5k for healthcare coverage with my job. And I’m now debating whether to start a GoFundMe to raise the money for that because it means a significant impact on my take home pay.

I try not to be too damn morbid about things, but I’m really scared.

So we can do our healthcare elections at work (our plan is on a fiscal year). My cost for medical care has nearly doubled and my raise this last year was 2% of my previous years annual pay.

On top of that? My Providers are now considered Tier 3, so my cost is 50% coinsurance for all services.

Crashed out so bad on Twitter a public services account blocked my ass. LMAO

Why this just reminded me that I got blocked by the RTA (New Orleans) on Twitter? 😂

We needed this kind of energy on Detroit buses 30+ years ago. My nerdy bookworm joke in HS: "The Livernois bus is a myth."

(Transit folks in Michigan: Ask yourself why so many of us who were born and raised here go into debt to keep a personal vehicle... and it's not because we're bad people.)
