I'm flying on JetBlue today. I used to love them but they broke my heart when they stopped serving Blue Chips. Sometimes I still ask, "Hey, y'all got any Blue Chips in the back?" And they look at me like, "Sis, you know damn well we don't have no Blue Chips." Plantain chips it is then.

And he didn’t even tip the driver.

Email from my grocery store: How does a free muffin sound? Me: Like a trap to monitor my shopping habits and sell my data.

Social Media Addiction "I'm trying not to be on social media. Which means I'm on social media all the time." Anybody else? Every generation gets addicted to something: money, drugs, social media. Anybody out here hitting the trifecta?

If treason is not the answer then we're asking the wrong question.

My money, my choice. This is the way. So say we all.

I’m conflict averse. My attorney is not.

How much of self-improvement is really self-loathing in disguise?

"US Retail Sales Post Biggest Drop In Nearly Two Years Amid Winter Freeze" And we will continue freezing them out by keeping our dollars warm and cozy in our pockets. Still looking at you, Target. www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

Ahh, the caucacity of it all.

Them: I didn't understand what Kendrick was saying during the super bowl halftime show. Me: You mean like how I didn't understand Shakespeare during high school?

People on my social media feed: Girl, you gotta learn how to grow your own food and live off the land. Me: I’m not built for, "Little House on the Prairie." I’m built for, “a deluxe apartment in the sky.”

The reality of this country has always been different from the press release. So now they’re just rewriting it and deleting all the good parts.

I think we’re all asking this question.

I don't know who made this meme, but y'all know damn well Prince ain't in heaven.
