Today is the perfect day to give a Pisces woman whatever she wants.

Once Upon a Time, media companies promised to do better with their diversity efforts and a brave, experienced journalist told them to put their money where their mouths are so they launched a Black parenting verticle to show go faith. Since DEI isn't cool now, they swiped the entire platform.

Facts. But Richie Rich was decent on “Ratha Be Ya Nigga”. And the Death Row receptionist shorty, Virginya Slim, was PHENOMENAL on “Me and My Girlfriend” too. 😍

When my mom was sick & in pain, she was…restless. (That’s the tamest way to describe it). The ONLY song that completely calmed her down was Beyoncé’s “MY ROSE” 🌹. Idk what angelic serum Beyoncé injected into the melody, but it lulled my mom’s spirit whenever it played. So I played it. She received.

I don’t know how else to convey this, but: THIS IS VERY VERY BAD FOR THE COUNTRY. 😬

We call this a catalog ✨

With all the dead homies niggas stay having, you’d think they’d be WAY more spiritual. Not like in the stereotypical sense. But more intentional with their words and actions. More considerate of life and ordering their moves. Their recklessness is fascinating. 🧐

So I’m re-listening to Friday Night Lights by J. Cole, and it is so good. Like 14 years later, it’s still so goodt! 🥹The production and lyrics are extremely theatrical.

Like Cole, (if he weren’t such a stubborn & raging misogynoirist) should compose musicals.

Travis Lazarus McCoy and his Gym Class Heroes really said:

🎶 I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun,
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun🎶

And y’all ain’t hear ‘em. 🥲
Y’all rappers ain’t real lovers! 😭
Y’all don’t make music like that no more!🙃

Hate it here!😡

Because why would any sane doctor pursue graduate medical education in that state? Also, a 56% spike in maternal mortality is egregious.

When I was 8 I flew with my mom. I snuggled up to her like I always did. A flight attendant commented “Aren’t you too old to hug your mom like that?” My mom told her to mind her business. My mom passed this year. Twenty years later. I’d give anything to hug her again.

Hold your baby too much. 💐

That “We Listen and We Do Not Judge” challenge is diabolical. Some of the confessions? Especially with the heterosexual couples? Atrocious what some will allow. Y’all’s partners actually HATE y’all. And you’re giggling???🥴
