If there's nothing else I fight for in my entire life, it's Black girls* and Black women*. Black womanhood is essential to our survival.

*Trans girls & women are always included when I'm referring to girls and women.

the meaning of life is just to be alive. it is so plain & so obvious & so simple. & yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves

Kenya Pleaser, because, yes. DD calling Briar 'Brian' was hilarious. Briar & Discord are kind of annoying. We'll see I guess. Hate Nini's entrance look. I like Athena. Not Alicia Edwards. What is this mini challenge? Not this ad in the middle of the episode. Love a design challenge. #DragRace

Another church drop off for my Mom which means another few miles at Emancipation Park.

My goal was to do 5km and I did it! Did a little more than but I'm so proud of myself. The half way point was the most challenging but I killed the last 1.5km without stopping to stretch like I typically do.

Both of Em's verses were top 2 in whatever order you deem fit. Jay-z's 2nd verse makes a valiant attempt but nope.
Who had the better verse?

Ebooks are reading.

Audiobooks are reading.

Graphic novels are reading.

Pulp reading is reading.

Adults reading YA is reading.

It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Even though she lives with me, my Mom sent me the sweetest New Year's message over voice note and I cried after listening to it. It wasn't anything long and revealing just a Happy New Year, all the blessings and I love you my baby 😭. I saved it immediately. I tend to save all her voice messages.

I know that literally every facet of media has been compromised but it still somehow surprises me when I see headlines like this. I remain hopeful that there will be some righting of this ship but the damage will take years if not decades to undo.

Just woke up from an evening nap and I know I've fucked up royally. I don't even know how many hours I'm going to get now.

My Mom's sister is here for a day or so & I'm trying to remain optimistic about how this will go. The last time she came to stay with us they had an argument so bad & so late in the night she stayed on the verandah all night and left as soon as she could. So, you know, it could go in any direction.

Just overver 4km, 7k steps, and 3 miles. Love bringing my Mom to church because I get a good walk in.

This is why that Atlantic article pissed me off so badly. To say that humans have only just now started to discover feelings or feel them to such a deep capacity is so infuriating when evidence exists that deep feelings have existed before we even became sapiens. Empathy has always been, always.
That person would not have survived to show that evidence upon their very bones if other people had not cared for them during that time.

And in this archaeologist's opinion (which I agree with), the very bedrock of human civilization is just caring for one another.

The finale episode was damn near word for word from the book & I loved it. Still smiling. Going to read the book again just to prolong the feeling. I like the added scene with Shane and his Mom. They did it. I loved it. I was on the fence about a 2nd season but bring it on. I want more of the world.
As Heated Rivalry fan from way back, it's one of my fave reads, I read it frequently and whenever I need a pick me up, the TV show is perfect. It's perfect. The direction is so good! I wish I could see it from the lens of someone who's never read the book but I damn near know it from cover to cover.

Wait, so FirstBlood is just about Rambo wrecking shop in a small town because the cops are bigoted weirdos? He appears to be going through a mental health event triggered by the abuse from the cops. Interesting choices here, am I supposed to be on his side for doing atrocities in another country?

Reposting 'news' reports without a single link or corroborated source is fascinating. A simple Google search, for what it's worth anymore, would tell you its not real. Come on now. Act like yall have some sense.

The 2nd book was less successful to me but I appreciate the effort. Plus love the representation that's not solely focused on what's being represented. On the book hunt again.
So happy I'm over my reading slump. I've had it downloaded for a while but in a slump then I recently saw that the 2nd installment was out and decided to finally get into it. Loving the Legend by Kit Grey. Some of those review scores are bonkers. 3.75⭐️ for me. www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Just finished the first book in a romancw series about black gay basketball players & I really enjoyed it. Too many sex scenes I had to just skip over a few but the story in between those was good. Thankfully it wasnt bogged down with a lot of homophobic bs. I'm excited to read the next installment.

Had an ok 7 or so hours, woke up once but went back to sleep. Breakfast time & I'm still luxuriating on vacation for at least another 2 weeks. No Christmas spirit but I've come to realize that it prolly will never return. Taking a break from TT & IG for a few. Getting back into languages & puzzles.

I've been off the bird app full time for a minute but I check in on my faves from time to time. Tell me why no videos are playing except the one with the deranged lady who possibly had a hand in her husband's death? Musty is doing something truly diabolical over there and I hate it for us all.
December 21, 2025 at 11:56 PM
Going out diabolically sad has never had a definition with video example til now. She's looking for that pardon for her convicted rapist and murderer husband. I don't even know what to say.
Nicki Minaj just stepped out onto the Turning Point USA America Fest stage, hand in hand with Erika Kirk.

Went walking for2 miles then ate a Whopper Jr. with cheese and fries. Switched to an orange juice though, I don't really like soda. Balance.
