All Black Americans have ever wanted is our full freedom.

That’s it.

if I may? (a reply from a stranger in fall)

It is time to hold close
To find shelter from a multitude of storms
Both natural & imposed disasters
which rage on

We must also rage on
& wait out storms if we cannot fight them

Survival can be lonely

I am glad that you are here 🫶🏻

(a poem from the summer)

Emotionally I feel terrible
I feel trapped in this house by vengeful gods,
gods that hate that I choose myself
Unapologetically.
Just like I choose myself,
I choose freedom.

I think people I think I’m deeper than I am

I am absolutely cosmic and brilliant

But … so are you and so is every blade of grass

Except for some of yall

Some of you are cosmically hurt/ evil and making the rest of us suffer

PSA: Starbucks is now apparently banning their employees from wearing N95s/masks, even when they're sick. A friend of mine tested positive for COVID today and she called out sick from her Starbucks; they told her to come in TOMORROW & no masks allowed. 😬

This is just my general life advice for anybody nowadays:

Be cringe, be free.

No, really. That's it. Fuck what other people think about you. You do what you're gonna do. Let other people do what they're gonna do. It's the truest freedom.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Though I will personally suffer, I'm looking forward to the day that tiktok shuts down and the world can stop gorging itself on aave/ebonics and attempting to copy Black social & historical traditions.

A hoodoo on tiktok said you start cleaning for the New Year now, and I think that's the wisest advice I've heard in a while.
