I mean, Jill from Norf Side is for adults but sheesh

Hold on, I post the cover of Jill Scott’s latest album and get flagged?! TF is happening on the sky? AI moderation can’t tell the difference between nude and not.

Cover of Jill Scott’s album “To Whom It May Concern” featuring an illustration of black woman with writing on her body.

As we hit our 3rd, 4th, and 5th time playing Jill from the Norf Side’s To Whom It May Concern, what song are you going straight to?

I’ve finally entered a flow state with Industry and got damn this season is on it!!!

I be forgetting that Keisha Lance Bottoms is running for governor which is a problem because ma’am if you are running, run. Her run feels leisurely like a workout on a Peloton leisurely or like watching a woman in a Tyler Perry run for governor.

From butter soft to butter slippery. I kind of like them tho

Truth is I’m kind of not okay with the fact that I’m not in Trinidad right now.

They finally released a follow up to Yoh! Christmas! I fear I know how Yoh! Bestie will end but I am a real sucker for these South African romantic comedies.

Even Ashton Kutcher is kinda giving in this, just a little. It ain’t Jeremy’s level at all but I appreciate his role.

Also Anthony Ramos, to me, has always had such wonderful bone structure.

Lastly, how Murphy got Isabella Rossellini to sign onto this, I don’t know but I love it

No this girl didn’t say “I don’t care, we’re all gonna get fat one day” after she saw her match.

Meanwhile her match confessed “she’s a woman of color, that’s SOMETHING I’ve never actually dated.” Meanwhile mans is a man of color.

This show is hell! #loveisblind

Also if these people don’t stop saying they love each other Imma jump out the window

You can always tell who is actually attracted to their person on Love is Blind by whether they kiss immediately upon meeting. If the woman goes in for a hug first, it’s a wrap

Correct

Did Tyler just bully this man into choosing her? Like I know you wanna be chose but, sis! She is doing a lot

I hate when I eat dinner and have the audacity to still be hungry when I’m done. 😤

I'm finna ask this everyday for the next few months:

Do I know any Skeeters in Grenada or who have a plug in Grenada for accomodations during SpiceMas? I'm asking for myself and two people all staying together Aug. 6-13.

I have a friend who calls these types, "Junior white supremacists" and it fits because sir, what?

It’s a messed up metric to be sure but to live in a society that, for the longest, assessed women’s desirability through men’s grand gestures and commitment to them through blood diamonds and legally-bonded relationships and to have never come within a stone’s throw of sometimes feels damning.

Patriarchy really be doing a number on us even when we resist it at every turn because why am I sitting here, two days before Valentine’s Day like, “Wow, in all my years of dating, no man—I know of—has been so in love with and mad (Caribbean vernacular) over me that he proposed.”

My favorite thing about being an adult is eating as much plantain as I want whenever I want.

I been rewatching Blackish and sometimes I get a little wistful like, “What would my life have been like if I got married, had kids and all that?” And then in my Doechii voice I say “I guess we’ll never know!” 😂
