I so badly wanted an updated version of this iconic image but with Kamala Harris preparing to be sworn in as president. Alas, she was what the country needed but doesn't deserve. What was an honor for the MVP was a privilege for the United States.

Out of respect for my students' work that needs to be graded, my peace, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, the ideal of democracy, this country, and Michelle Obama, I want nothing to do with this inauguration and will not be viewing it.
Text me if there's another attempt or something.

Also, I just realized I can't do a live New Year's countdown because I pirate my cable, and it has a two-minute delay 😭😭

I just finished writing out my 2025 intentions.
My favorite one is, "I will once again have the confidence of a 27-year-old Paula who was drunk and dancing in the street and told a man she liked his art even though she never saw it just so she could sleep with him" 🤸🏾‍♀️

For the new year, I will return to social media and reconnect with the world around me. Until then, I will be very drunk 🤸🏾‍♀️

I want Beyoncé to pop out during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance wearing a blue pantsuit and singing "Freedom" 🤔

Watching "Love, Actually" and decorating my Christmas tree. The holidays are here! 🤗

I hate Dollar Tree. I went for literally just two things I needed, but ended up with a few "you can never have too many" and a couple of "I'll find a use for it" 😩

"Speak No Evil" with James McAvoy was a very interesting thriller with a well built plot. However, my god, did I yearn for not a single survivor by the end of the movie. Not one likable character. Not. ONE.

The worst thing you could do to some people is be yourself.

Wacced Out Murals is the anthem I never knew I needed.

I finally started reading "Beyond Respectability" by Brittney Cooper, and... this is the book I've been searching for for the past 5 years. I'm actually embarrassed I've known of Cooper but took this long to read her work. Better late than never because this is the one 📕💣🤯

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there.

Biden should commute the death penalty for the 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel all student debt via EO & force Trump to revive them, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight!

If you would've told me six months ago that I'd stop watching the news, I'd stay off social media to avoid the news, and I would do everything I could to avoid politics, I'd call you a liar and talk about your mama.
But this is where I am.

So I just had kind of an emotional breakdown, but it's ok. I recorded my feelings since I didn't feel like typing, so now I'm getting ready to see how AI does with transcription 🤔

So I've decided that I'm going to spend part of my holiday break painting two rooms of my home myself.
Do I have the tools? No. Do I have the skill? No. Do I have the energy? No. Do have an odd hyperfixation on yet another spontaneous DIY idea that I must now see through to the end? ABSOLUTELY!

A subscription service... for printer ink... by the page?! You people have gone too far. This is ridiculous. I still remember when the internet and Microsoft Office came on a CD, and once it was installed, I OWNED IT! 😒

I'm watching The Day of the Jackal, and yah, I'd be ghey for $100 million 🤔

And this is why I'd sworn off going to events hosted by you hard -ers. Never tf again.
