They WERE NOT hype enough for my boi.

HE WAS GOIN DUMB ON THEM KEYS

@baldwin.senate.gov Tammy… it took me 26 hours to fly back to Wisconsin from Jersey this weekend.

And I’d do it again and again if it means you won’t break. Have a spine sis.

For Turkey Day, definitely greens. There’s something about well-balanced collard juice that goes so well with a sage-y dressing.

I was always an emoji girl. There weren’t too many personalities (or red flags) those faces couldn’t convey. I had:

Me: I can’t wait to get this extra hour of sleep tonight.

Also me: *still up*

“Full bars? Full bars?! How does this not topple your economy?!”

Please tell me where they’re giving out free rent. I will pack my things yesterday.

Thanks, B. This means a lot coming from a Chicago lemon pepper stepper.

It always felt like it had potential to be more, but I think they found a sweet spot where it is.

To this day

When they hear the opening of Enter Sandman they know the roundtable is about to get lit

Thank you.

I got a heartbreaking job rejection today. Just when everything started to finally feel aligned and headed in the right direction, my inbox got hit with “other candidates.”

I was just saying this. I’m running that truck into the ground.

White people have a kind of intra-white respectability politics about the level of racism that's considered permissible in polite company and I think a lot of polite racists are mad the gutter racists are tarnishing their good name.

I don't care for any kinda racist but I love myself, so. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Blacktober wip, guess who

You know what’s a little funny? I did this with an activator-like gel yesterday 🤣 for once, you were right

This and forgetting you’re carrying a weapon (?!) are two states of mind I don’t ever wish to be in.

It’s always something seeing people be reminded to not put their children on x-ray conveyor belts at TSA checkpoints.

It looks so good — that spatchcock is perfect.

Remember that you’re only one person. You can’t do it all. You’re not failing because you didn’t get it all done. Survival is not the bar. Living is.

Love y’all.

Here you go. I gotta come up with some Chicago roasts for you. Our 10-year beef has been way too one-sided.

Really? I would think making folks stand (i.e., at the Summerfest stages) would at least get them to sway to a beat.

They were seated the whole show at the Pabst last night. It broke my brain.

It was so weird to experience! With the exception of a few, there were barely any heads bobbing, let alone dancing. I can’t even imagine how it impacts the artists.

Only in Wisconsin will some of the best neo-soul era music be played to a room full of statues.

Corinne Bailey Rae’s show was so good last night with the exception of the crowd sitting in near perfect stillness the whole time.
