Just got my yearly mammogram. If applicable, I hope you’re able to get yours too. I’ve graduated to an additional ultrasound because momma gave me dense tissue. The amount of lotion was obscene. Like if I tripped and fell forward I would just keep sliding until a wall or a curb stopped me 😂

Let it be known, I have a blanket “ef all the way off” when I engage with the news going forward. That’s my new normal. Assume that’s how I wake up.

That way I don’t have to react to every asinine yet cruel thing that is said or enacted by these clowns. (Apologies to the clown community.)

Oh, good night. I am finally catching up to some writing deadlines and I feel the weight instantly lifting. It's nice. Maybe I should remember this feeling more often.

Scent is a powerful memory trigger. I open this up and it’s 2014 all over again. How was that over 10 years ago?!?

Overheard in the airport: “I don’t care who’s in office, I just keep on hustling.”

Sigh. Let capitalism and privilege sing.

Hustle for what? You think we exist in a meritocracy that allows upward mobility here? Enjoy that hamster wheel… or maybe we say these things and it’s all a trauma response 😢

Wondering why I was getting a prolonged stink eye from a man while I was getting breakfast. Then I saw he was wearing a “try that in a small town” shirt and it all made sense 😒 I would say, “so it begins” but ever since race was constructed as an excuse to colonize and oppress did it ever not go on.

I’ve been listening to the new Bad Bunny album. Am I a Bad Bunny fan? I think I might be now 😬🐰
