Dont open the door for cops unless they have a warrant. I have a speaker on my outdoor cameras to talk to anybody who comes. And if an unmarked car pulls you over, call 911 and ask them to verify

The best Martin episodes were with the core 5 in one room. This is an underrated one.

Dating is supposed to be fun. Don’t settle down before knowing whether or not you deeply enjoy the person.

You gotta be on your p’s and q’s before you date me. I may pull out a question like “what’s your favorite Jamie Foxx Show episode?” and it turn into a whole conversation about our favorite Black tv sitcom episodes. And I’m expecting lines and all.

"The tagline for Motown Records was “the Sound of Young America” making clear Gordy’s intent to produce Black music for the widest audience possible, and that included increasingly diverse Black audiences." #BlackMusicMonth medium.com/p/4493c98477ee

Very niche to me but I used to skip this song as a kid. Now? Easily my favorite song on the album. Aside from being sonically insane, the lyrics hit harder once you’ve experienced it music.apple.com/us/album/apa...

I dont think any Democratic leadership should be allowed to speak at ANY of these events and co-op any form of resistance as a photo op until they form an ACTUAL PLAN OF THEIR OWN and tell people how they plan to protect democracy. Until then, IG live is for you

My body aches when I get out of bed. Stretching everyday has become a non-negotiable. Also, if a place is too loud or obnoxious, I’m leaving. Can’t take it

cop: do you know why I pulled you over? me: because you had an emotionally distant father, an overbearing mother, married a woman just like her, your kids hate you, and you’re taking your anger and frustration out on me? cop: [holding back tears] because your gas cap is open
