Omg, it's really the first of November. How did we get here so fast?!

Valid point.

This one changed the most for me as adult. I'm talking RECENTLY. That "It's alright, it's alright, I used to be sad, but it's alright now" hits COMPLETELY DIFFERENT after you've lived through a few things.

We might be closer to one, since Elon don't fw him anymore lol.

Literally. He waited to see if anyone would challenge the election, and they didn't. Then he pushed the limits of his presidential power to see who push back. Now, he's doing whatever because he doesn't believe he'll be challenged ever.

Yes. 😂 All of my male friends have left the nest. I'm happy y'all are doing your thing, but I feel a bit isolated at times.

Miss you more. Was thinking about you this weekend.

And you have always found a way, friend.

You'll whiz through that one. I love Pearl Cleage.

In other countries, Hulu and Disney were already combined. They call it Star.

Y'all really gotta stop typing "The Guilded Age." It's The Gilded Age. Gilding is to cover and object in gold leaf. That's why the name of that period and the show makes sense. It's shit covered in a beautiful veneer, like a gilded cage.

It was the loudest "WELP" I ever welped in life!

I'm in a weird space of truth-telling. It feels a lot like putting my foot in my mouth tho.

I am more a morning person than I ever thought I'd be.

I have a new relationship my higher self, or intuition, lately. Things I couldn't find or understand before come to me surprisingly quickly now. All I can do is make use of the messages and say "thank you."

This is how your starting your day?!

And thanks to TS Madison, we now know it's the anniversary of Uncle Johnny's passing. We speak his name.

Or bannisters. You're still balancing on a single heel, regardless of the surface.

I guess some people can't retire. He performed his final show last week.

I'm hollering because somebody already called him that in his comments on TikTok!! 🤣🤣🤣

I used to think any life over the age of 75 was bonus and God's grace. Now, as black man approaching 48, I'm realizing EVERY SINGLE DAY is God's grace. We're leaving here far too early, these days.

I'm slow.

People unwilling to admit they were wrong.

Lately, seeing Cynthia Erivo sing ANYTHING makes me emotional.

Signs you're ignoring your intuition:

You resist the urge to buy a huge pack of AA batteries twice this week. Now, you have to make a special trip because you actually need them today.

🗣️ AND DO!

I didn't even know it was out.
