Baby when I tell you I OVERstand... I love you.

Every underpaid penny I receive is going to bills and to repairing my camera so I can book more photo gigs, and do less PT gigs for peanuts. Please allow me some grace, and send job leads.

To my friends and familiars: I truly am sorry I haven't been around IRL or online. I'm barely alive. The only days I have off this month are Feb. 1, 17, and 28, and some days I work from 9am-1am.

I should be at parades, drinking until sunrise, then stumbling home with Irish coffee and a piece of king cake. Instead, I’m doing laundry, taking care of plants, and about to spend three hours on my hair, because I work every single day to make ends barely meet. I hate capitalism.

"I try to stay out of politics."

INSTABLOCK.

Thank you for your well-wishes, it WORKED.

Waiting for an old iPad to finish updating, and I'm about to pass out from holding my breath...

Black women's unemployment has skyrocketed. Here’s what happened. The rate is now equivalent to White women’s during the bleakest moments of the Great Recession.

“Black women started 2025 with an unemployment rate of 5.4%. They ended it at 7.3%—the highest rate in 4 years. Black women’s unemployment is now equivalent to White women’s rate during the bleakest moments of the Great Recession.”

“Black women also suffered job loss across sectors…”

Lion's mane is the truth and the light. Just don't take it after 5pm, lol.

I took some Lion's Mane and washed it down with an oat milk latte, and now I'm sitting at my computer looking like the Kermit meme.

Thank you!! You've got mail. 📧

If anyone would like to donate camera equipment (lenses, bodies, gear, film, studio set ups, ANYTHING), please let me know. I am desperate to create, and not to proud to say I need help. My current finances won't let me be as great as I know I can be.

...and a wash and retwist, in my case. My kingdom for a self-care sponsor...

They will be there for you when The Collapse happens...

Almost downloaded The Apps™️ again out of desperation and boredom, and then I remembered that one of my previous dates legitimately pissed his pants trying to keep pace with my drinking.

You've just described 1/2 my entire wardrobe.

Just spent the last 90 mins freezing all my credit reports, Lexis Nexis, and Innovis, because I get almost as many emails about breaches as I do spam. Privacy does not exist in a digital world.

And this is EXACTLY why #DiasporaWars are pointless.

My gawd, tuhDAY, this is relatable.

Ooooooh! Thank you for pointing me to that! *runs*

That's good to hear, because my feed is all anti-fascism, all the time. I'm definitely following the right people, I am just soul-tired of the topic as someone who has experienced it and sounded the alarm for 46 years.

Happiest of solar returns!!

Not having this app on my phone means I don't log in for weeks at a time. Do people still engage beyond politics, or should I just go away again?

I feel so seen. 🥒
