    My therapist told me that anxious people have tendency to only explore the scary “what ifs” and challenged me to remember that there is also a flip side. What if you excel? What if it is one of the best experiences of your life? What if it changes you in a beautiful way?

    I want us to normalize “I cannot work today because I am not in the mental space to engage with others” and that be okay

    Funny story: so at my job, we do. And we also redact name and school to address that bias. Since that practice, Black women have consistently either made it to the final round or been hired 😂 funny how that works huh

    This video shows how the whole Alabama ferry brawl started. Brother man was doing his job telling these folks to move their boat so the ferry could dock. Privileged ass white people refused to move and then jumped him

    I think of this story a lot. Primarily because it didn’t require Ella to ask this of Marilyn. Marilyn seemed to understand her positional privilege and used it to create space for someone who should’ve already been there. There’s a lesson in allyship here that many seem to miss

    Ella Fitzgerald #botd “I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt. It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the 1950s. She called the owner and told him if he'd book me, she'd take a front table every night. I never had to play a small jazz club again."

    I saw this on FB and it really helped. I thought he started having multiples with a few of the same women.

    The Tik Tok account who posted this appears to be that of La La Land Kind Cafe where they prioritize hiring young people who age out of the foster system. So they aren’t just giving compliments on the street kind… they are “make this part of the business model” kind

    A major new study confirms the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella has no link to autism. Researchers from Denmark followed the medical histories of 650,000+ children over 10 years and found the vaccine does not trigger or increase the risk of autism.

    She really has the look that everyone is emulating but somehow no one is giving her the credit

    A reminder of what happened in 2008. I just want the bridge builders to recall how it went.

    I’m really mad about the Meg thing. I’m really mad about Breonna Taylor. I’m really mad about Toyin. I’m really mad about Atatiana. I’m really mad that Black women are, by and large, assumed to be able to just endure. Even in death.

    This is your friendly reminder from a married mom that if you don’t want to get married, don’t. If you don’t want to have kids, don’t. It really has to be something you desire with your heart, don’t let society put benchmarks on your path that don’t align with who you are
