im so tired of seeing all these "designer" brands pop up and all they sell is copy n paste tiktok sweatsuits .. be original please i beg. how are you gonna call yourself a designer but nothing you are putting out is creative or new? the point of fashion is to stand out, not blend in.

am i the only one that gets annoyed when men compliment me on social media or dating apps? i just feel like the compliments arent genuine and dont really help start a conversation. they be like "u look good" or "you bad" or even "lil fine shi" but i dont like it. is it just my city? 😭😭😭

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Today is #VeteransDay — 17 years after I left the military, and I still have conflicting feelings regarding my military service.

In part, because of the history of increased far right extremist organizing in the wake of U.S. involvement in military conflicts, which has often involved veterans. ⬇️

I wish we could prescribe books to each other.

Sounds like you need two Flannery O’Connors!

A little Octavia Butler ought to clear that up.

Read sixteen Mary Oliver poems and call me in the morning.

I'm begging y'all to read Octavia Butler. And I'm not just talking about Parable of the Sower/Talents

You need to read Dawn.
You need to read Mind of My Mind.
You need to read Fledgling....

The one thing I really loved about the Harris/Walz campaign is the joy. He ran on hate and she ran on joy. What an amazing gift to all of us.
Joy.
It’s gonna be hard, not to let them steal that, that beautiful joy, but I’m gonna do my darndest to try.
