I honestly don’t like how SNHU changed their bright space app to where now I have to be taken outside the app and have to view my coursework in a browser. Like ugh why?? It wasn’t broke, why did you fix it?? 😭

Whenever I see criticisms of black women, regardless who it is, I be ready to get defensive real quick.

I’ve finally reach the age where I need to invest in a good designer pair of sunglasses.

Listening to Love Comes Down by Evelyn King feels like when it was the first day of summer break and you could sleep in till noon and stay up all night doing god knows what. And your mom judges but you don’t care man. You’re enjoying life 😎

I haven’t bought any new make up from Fenty Beauty in years. I made an impulsive purchase last week and bought some new lip glosses and a liner and safe to say even years later Miss RiRi does not miss.

It’s driving me nuts omg

I really hate the new tabs in the mail app. Def not feeling this update

Happy President’s Day.

I honestly just love being a black woman.

One day imma cut my hair so it’s all even. I may do a loc bob. I miss when my hair was shorter 😭

Filed my own taxes this year.

I think it’s more than ok to give the same energy people give to you back to them. It’s how you maintain your boundaries without self sacrifice.

As a 4c girlie, I have yet to find an edge control that doesn’t flake or cause residue in my locs. I’ve lost all hope 😔

30s are coming soon and I can’t help but look forward to them. 20s were so ghetto. Not mindful. Not demure AT ALL. I’m tired chile 😭

So TikTok is gone. I guess I’ll go back to Pinterest or tumblr 😭

Being the eldest daughter consists of always being readily available for everyone else but no one is readily available for you.

At least I went to the gym 💃🏾

I am so unmotivated to get anything done tonight. Bleh.

I love listening to classical music while on lunch in my car. Its makes me feel like I’m in a dramatic movie or something

Listening to Mac Millers Swimming always brings me back to reality in a good way. I feel very seen

It finally Friday 🤩 what y’all doing after work?

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Sometimes life feels like the Sims 4

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax”

No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

This would actually be very dope

NEW year! NEW me! NEW hoes!

This is a mantra 🙂‍↕️

Yesssss, I’m actually learning so much. I’ve always known about the Chernobyl incident but never really dug deep into it. The whole thing is CRAZY.

I’m starting the Chernobyl mini series and just amazed at how many smart people were being incredibly stupid. And on purpose at that
