Cleaning my house listening to my Pandora. How is the Doobie Brothers "Taking it to the Streets" completely on target for what's happening right now? This song came out in 1976. 🫠

So I am on the Neptune app now which Neptune seeks to supplant TikTok or at least be there if TikTok gets wiped out again. It's very rough so far lol. I mean not only in terms of they're in beta, but more in terms of the content lol. Gotta get more folks over there.

Wow. I was only out of town a few days I'm back and La Brea is buckwild. I guess everyone was as ready for winter to be over as I was lol

Oh right. I need to bake a pie today πŸ‘πŸΎ

Oh apparently REI is tripping too now. Well that's fine there's lots of other places to shop for those types of goods including shopping with the brands directly. #Patagoniaforthewin πŸ‘πŸΎ

This is why I don't do "initial reaction" posts. When I just listened to the Super Bowl halftime performance without watching, it was hard for me to get into musically because all the songs were chopped up and the medley didn't flow etc. but BA-BY when I WATCHED it. OMGoodness. Obsessed.

I want nothing more in life than to lie down right now but I have on stupid face makeup (foundation) and I have to remove it first. Yes I am a makeup artist, no I do not like wearing makeup. Lol

I just learned that all of the LA fires are 100% contained πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ

Felt strange to go to the Homie spot without meeting up with one of my Homies, but I met a new Homey so that's cool πŸ‘πŸΎ (and @jonescoffee is still one of the bestest)

So now he's rescinded the freeze? The freeze that should never have taken place in the first damn place? Chyle... #heiscrazy #folksvotedforactualcrazy

ICE raids have apparently started in Boyle Heights and South LA 😠

Did another huge yardwork/tree-gate cleanup. 3 full massive bags and a ton of branches and twigs up πŸ‘πŸΎ (powered by banging @delamoonmusic.bsky.social sets πŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ’ƒπŸΎ) Now for well-earned coffee & brunch. Becoming more like my Dad daily. #bythePowerofJDRussell

Clearly after the wildness that has taken place over the last I don't know 36 hours or so I need to focus my energies off the "legacy" social media apps. My business stuff will still be there but...

Saying you're for the growth of generational wealth for Black people, but then virtue signaling in response to the fires that "you've lost attachment to things" is not giving what you think it is. What do you think these "things" are that people are losing? Hint: their families generational wealth.

Why do I keep seeing continued conversation about Canada becoming part of the United States? Where did this foolishness come from and why? Why do we even have to entertain nonsense conversations like this?

So wait. Not only has this HBCU marching band agreed to play at the coming presidential inauguration but they have a Go Fund Me asking their (largely Black) followers to help pay for it???

So yeah... 😞

Deleted previous post. Apparently master Zakir is still alive although in critical care. Fingers crossed for his recovery. πŸ€žπŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ
