I just keep hearing that lady voice in my head screaming "STAN UP!"

TW: school shooting There was a school shooting very close to home (literally and figuratively) yesterday. Haven't seen it really blow up in national news which is a testament to how desensitized we are. Two students dead, one in critical condition.

Direct quote from my very white manager. “I don’t think I need to download the tea right now, but just know it wasn’t great.” Chile…. WHAT? Where am I?

Heath insurance not including vision n dental

No. They still call those failed Dem policies. TN is a red state, but they're gonna focus on the crime in Nashville and Memphis - blue counties - and say that's the reason we don't have law and order statewide. It's NEVER their fault.

Made a hiring decision. And I'm hoping I don't regret it. It's not the decision I wanted to make, but I think it's the decision I needed to make. I'm likely going to have to kickstart our new working relationship with a hard conversation.

See how we used to be a proper country?

Y'all seen the little baby who was crying cause she had to stand up for Beyonce cause Beyonce wasn't there and who else was gonna do it? I feel confident she'll be getting some flowers and a toy here shortly. As she should. Poor thing.

I'm not even gon hold you. I'm peeved that I'll be in a tech free all day step back tomorrow. I'm not gon be tech free til I know the announcement... but I'm still pre-annoyed.

What I wanna know is... What time? Like... does the post go live 12am Eastern? Is it midday? Like girl. People got jobs!

Every day I am absolutely shocked that I’m in charge of anything. I cannot believe people think I should get to make rules and shit. Like. I can barely feed myself every day… tf?

And Rick James... since I recently learned they had beef (though the beef may have been one sided)

Blogs are back?? My body is ready!

It’s not his wife’s job to control him… But what she doing? She be having to manage him at the house with this?!

Facebook just reminded me that I used to go to bars to watch football games. I'm... I'm amazed at who my younger self was.

I love Aunjanue so much. Have for so long!

Both of these photos could be put in an art exhibit called "Black people at work."

AOL.com is still a thing and I'm finding that wild.

I keep saying I'm gonna give it another go... But then I see people confirm what I thought the first time I had it and feel like I should spare myself.

This. I'm tryna see can I JUST get ventilated seats because I never need my ass to be hot. I'm a walking heater as it is.

Yes ❤️

I will forever hang my hat on how defunding education is the most critical part of how we ended up where we are. Without a poorly educated electorate, the Southern strategy doesn't work, Reagan doesn't get re-elected amidst a recession...

So I done got over here in my old age and bout tore a damn muscle in my hip. I need to be flat on my back as much as possible, but instead I've been sitting at my desk working for the last four hours... it hasn't been comfortable.

I think about this a lot. How we've moved to using "internet" to actually just mean social media. Yikes.

Also, and I imagine I missed the initial conversation so my apologies. But I just found out that I'm closely associated with people who believe the type of icing on a cake determines the cake. Chocolate icing on a yellow cake = chocolate cake. I am absolutely, positively, UNDONE.

Ok cause. I hadn't said nothing... cause I thought I was being slow. But... me neither. It seems like a damn free for all over there. SEEMS like community notes is an upgrade.

Sent a text to a friend and realized we both started our texts with "hey friend" Which made me think about how when I talk to my cousins, I always lead with "hey cousin" and they do the same. And... is this a thing other folks do?
