🌎 Raquel Seymone 🌍 Raquel Meets World

I see people still go to the airport just to cough. 🫥

Just saw Az Chike make an unhoused man do 20+ push-ups for $20.

"Nothing in life free"

This why you can't follow rappers on social media. Smh

My grandmother's quiet morning hour rule was that we spent the first hour after waking up to ourselves.

You could read, write, stare out the window, watch TV, whatever —you just had to do it quietly.

I survived the night without a coup but I did have to do more... redirecting.

I'm also my grandmother because her "quiet morning hour" rule lives on.

The teen opted for a trade to auntie with the ps5 — cant blame him.

The other baby niece (7) showed up for a sleepover. Threat level for a coup increased exponentially.

Lots of museum fun, an estate sale, and bookstore stops.

Budget Lesson of the day: get the museum membership.

Total cost without the museum membership: $135

Total cost with the museum membership: $60

Day 2 of auntie weekend was cool, but I was wholly unprepared for the cost of dining out with kids.

$80 on breakfast. Do you know how much breakfast I could make at home for $80?!

Very glad I packed a snack bag for the rest of the day, because absolutely not.

It's auntie weekend so I've got my babies* with me.

I think I managed bedtime ok, and by managed I mean I told them I was going to bed and that they needed to wind down.

Color me shocked that I kept waking up through the night to go check on them.

*the babies are 9 and 13.

The news about Sylvester Turner's passing shifted my day. Wow.

How am I supposed to work when we have a One Chicago event?!

It really snowed in Houston. My brain kept short circuiting trying to process that.

Then my mom and I made snow angels and had a snowball fight. It was so beautiful, I might cry.

I volunteered at Holiday in the Tre today.

Lovely community event! Being able to see so many kids have a great time really made my grinchy heart swell.

Finished Season 1 of The Day of the Jackal.

Folks aint even taking "the walk" anymore at Thanksgiving. Everybody in the house smokin vape or on gummies/edibles. Yo granny aint losing recipes, she's off 40mg of sherbert berry gummies, and a live resin pen in her apron.

Who needs a simmer pot when you spill an entire bottle of vanilla extract in the kitchen?

Prepping the family meal and I'm on task and ahead of schedule.

I feel like my grandmother would be proud that I didn't destroy the kitchen.

Is the Kendrick Lamar album discussion going to be how I find my people on #BlackSky?

Had an amazing weekend and thought the good vibes would roll over into the work week.

Nope - massive dumpster fire as soon as I logged in.

Green cutting mat, x-acto knife, a cut out of a rabbit costume, and my hand with light purple cat eye nails

Projection screen with national geophraphic style magazine cover that says, "how to collage with Tay Butler"

Took another class with collage artist Tay Butler at Houston Center for Photography.

Sunday Funday indeed.

I want breakfast tacos and a cup of cafe bustelo.

If this is a democracy fr, I'd like to vote against calling BlueSky posts- skeets.

Wtf is wrong with yall?!

BlueSky is filling a void that 35+ up been looking for. Social media should be a cool distraction. Not stressful and annoying. Folks wanna laugh and have healthy banter and wit and sarcasm. A feeling of community. Not all these bots and ads and weird ass algorithms and engagement farming

I think I have a little peetee essdee from the other site.

We can go back to... just yapping? Seems fake.

Diverse these nuts omg. I do not want to hear from the most depraved and wicked mfers on earth! No. I do not need your point of view, Hitler in a damn Fedora.

I fucked around and clicked art for my interest now it’s nothing but ugly ass portraits on my timeline

📌

I feel like we let J.Dorsey off too easy with that other site debacle.

It better not get weird on here.

Janelle Monae (seriously) in a hyper realistic E.T. alien costume with palm on head to express exasperation.

I swore I was done with new social media platforms, yet here I am.
