Bluesky keeps logging me out on my phone. It's a sign, and I'll take it.

Aaron Pierre and his Medusa ass eyes. They’re dang near neon!

One of my homies in Altadena lost her childhood home. No one was physically hurt, but watching her mom talk about having been in that house for 46 years while standing on its ashes was heart breaking.

These mofos really elected evil Peter Griffin. 🙄

I don’t want to be part of this crumbling of society. I’m part of the group that had been warning against this but no one listened and now I have to be dragged down to the pits of hell with everyone else. 😒🫠🙄

For Colored Girls, Who Are Just Fucking Tired.

At this rate, I feel like I’ll have better luck auditioning for TV/Film/Theater (I have a performing arts background too) than landing a fucking UX Writer job.

Crickets.

Grief, frustration and rage have rendered me a potato. I haven’t checked any emails yet, stopped the job search. I am seeing a new therapist but money and a break from this stupid ass system are really what I need.

I don’t comment my intrusive thoughts like a lot of y’all do tho.

I got recruited for UX writing job at Target but didn’t make it to round two. I can only guess that they didn’t like my portfolio but they won’t even give me feedback. Womp womp.

Mr. Bigglesworth is one of the greatest cat names of all time. 😹

I’m supposed to be cleaning up, but instead I’m chillin, watching “Living Single” reruns.

My aunt that be cooking cooking just told me my sweet potato pie was slamming. 😃

Start calling these folks pro-segregation.

Not me telling my daughter I remember when Tails first came out, before the other Sonic gang. 🤣

It’s nope degrees outside. 😭

As a father I can’t fathom how the GOP has gotten away with branding themselves as the party of ‘family values.’

What values?

Paid leave? No.
Affordable childcare? No.
Investing in education? No.
Ending child poverty? No.
Fighting child cancer? No.
Protecting kids from guns? No.

End this charade.

Caribbean fam, are you up to your eyes and ears in black cake yet? 🤣

I’m a seasoned immigration reporter, well sourced in various communities that will experience the brunt of Trump’s promises, as well as in Washington. I’m open to freelance, full time, and part time work.

I was unexpectedly laid off from @motherjones.com on Friday the 13th. I’ve been deprived of direct access to my Google Drive, which contains seven years worth of work. I am also ineligible for unemployment. This is a terrible Christmas for me and my family.

If you have leads for work, pls lmk.
