don't ask don't shantell

A picture of "MIRANDA HOBBES, ESQ. Corporate Lawyer Unmarried Woman" why she let a man with skid marks miraculously impregnate her and then decided to keep it omgggggg

when I have my way I'll be her but without the terrible storylines and will be a pilates instructor and will be a great potter as well 🙏🏽

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

it is well documented that I bit my cousin as a toddler and yes a french 75 will always see me!!!!!

the fun part about being from miami is that whenever I speak spanish my accent takes on the nationality of whoever is on the phone

emoji waving and saying holaaaaaaaaa

it was very sweet, shoutout mi gente latino!!!!!!

being bilingual is fun cause next to no one in that arena understood benito but I did!!!!!

guy pointing at a painting in an attempt to teach his dog about impressionism and make the dog appreciate art (the dog is looking at the painting but personally I don't think he gives a fuckkkkkkk)

mini fugees reunion reminded me that pras is in prison

really not knowing how to feel about these d'angelo tributes only cause I never thought we'd be in this situation! he really fucked the city up omgggggggg

the epitome del partido de los leopardos que comen caras yes

me reading this as a black miami woman:

Good reminder from this state highway!

oh he definitely just asked somebody in there to teach him spanish

I assumed that the move to drone strikes and less on the ground personnel was cause they know they don't have the manpower to flex like they really would love to

if for some reason they get the balls to do a ground invasion I hope that they know that the venezolanos would smoke them cause these new batches of recruits are absolute FOOD in any sort of combat

how the fuck did justin timberlake diss both prince and janet jackson and get to live in peace for all these years?

a guy wearing a “i ❤️ ny” cap reading the qur’an in one hand and the communist manifesto in the other

day one in mamdani’s new york

just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

apple music is so real for not playing any rico nasty songs until I got off I-95 like omg could you imagine me fighting miami traffic and smack a bitch comes on

We really need to bring back a focus on reading comprehension

can we track if there is an uptick in use of les mots/frases putain, merde et repose en merde/pisse on today?

heard in another conversation

"shantell you different from my other grandchildren"
"oh how is that grandma"
"you not fast like the other ones"

I was trying to clear some of my personal library before buying new books and succeeded for the most part! I wanted to read these things that teased out thoughts about this current moment in time on a personal, political and societal level.

cover for elizabeth taylor: a private life for public consumption by ellis cashmore

15. elizabeth taylor: a private life for public consumption by ellis cashmore

had a realization of just how much of a performance I put on at work bought this. it's one of the better examples of how to capture a subject from afar and do your best to examine and explain their essence. 4.5/5

cover for assata: an autobiography by assata shakur herself

14. assata: an autobiography by assata shakur

saw a copy in a local black owned bookstore sometime after her death and had to read it finally. a very humanizing piece that filled me with profound sadness and anger. I just hope that rest is doing her well after all that she went through. 5/5

cover for war against all puerto ricans: revolution and terror in america's colony by nelson a. denis

13. war against all puerto ricans by nelson a. denis

paints a harrowing picture of those who give their all to fight against empire and constantly reminds you of how these real stories were suppressed in real time. one critique is where are the women? 4.5/5

cover for frankenstein by mary shelley

12. frankenstein by mary shelley

read in anticipation for GDT's frankenstein (cue slight boos for the movie), one of my favorites of all time. hits the right spot every single time. no notes fr. 5/5

cover for wuthering heights by emily bronte

11. wuthering heights by emily bronte

read in anticipation for the new movie. I finally saw what all the hoopla is about and I fear for what is cooking in emerald fennell's sick mind. an exploration of decades of trauma, grief and hatred that doesn't waste a second. 5/5

cover for 1984 by george orwell

10. 1984 by george orwell

after years of avoiding reading it (but getting away with referencing it quite a bit anyways and answering many a trivia question about orwell 🤫) I finally bit the bullet. it was so fantastically bleak and will never lose its touch. 4.5/5

cover for things fall apart by chinua achebe

9. things fall apart by chinua achebe

wanted to reread this after teaching it so I could really sit with the material and had a much nicer time this go round. think I was moved to do so after focusing more on the decay of the society you once knew and that's why it stuck more. 5/5
