I get that we’re focusing on this little side quest of his, but what it’s telling us all is that he has no intention of leaving the White House…

Y’all should’ve never let his ass win that election.

And so…the Wee Bey moment was right there…

Your old habits/mindset/comfort zones will kill your growth.

You know it’s real when the plants are telling you to cut that old shit out…

I moved it so it had more sun, was more diligent about watering it properly but nothing worked. So I asked my godmother (a master herbalist) and she told me to change the soil. I told her that I did and she said:

β€œOld soil doesn’t have the necessary nutrients to support new growth”

In today’s episode of β€œPlants Wisdoms”:

My prodigiosa/siempre viva/Ewe Dun Dun has been growing like crazy to the point that I had to double its pot size. I used the soil I had leftover from the last pot upgrade and went on my way.

Then it started dying. RAPIDLY.

Sometimes I give my dog a few potato chips because she’s very good at making crunchy sounds for some reason? It’s good ASMR.

Making exceptions for when you enforce a boundary means that the issue was never about alignment/self-preservation but control.

I’m learning that I haven’t spent nearly enough time with Dread Scott’s work. I remember learning about the Flag piece, but not much more than that.

If you only find joy in the product and never the work, you gonna be in for a long hard road ahead.

Whatever happened to β€œnever let somebody tell you that they don’t want you more than once”?!

Did the girlies lose that recipe? Did y’all not have an auntie with a 27-piece?! Did your grandma not have that bowl of walnuts, apples, and, oranges on the dining room table?!

Who raised you to be dizzy?

The work IS the joy. The work IS the point. Yes.

I do things for the journey as much as I do the destination. Only thing I wanna snap and fix is my A1C.
