I decided to start my maternity leave the same day students get out. I’ll crash out if I have to do a week of post planning.

They also voted against their health care, their own businesses, and more. Racism is a powerful drug.

I glitched in the middle of teaching today, lol. I’m glad I only teach one class because my brain is not functioning this pregnancy.

I am trying my best to say this in gentleness and love to whoever this applies to. Stop. Policing. Black. People. In. This. Political. Climate. A lot of Black folks have wisely discerned that it is time to radically rest and take care of in house business and that is OKAY.

I cannot find empathy or compassion for someone that hurts children. May they burn in hell.

My back hurts so bad. The pregnancy band does not help. The weekly visits to my chiropractor do not help. I guess I’ll suffer til the twins are born.

Got diagnosed with pregnancy related hypothyroidism today. Never had thyroid issues in my life or during any other pregnancy. Then again, I have a never been pregnant with twins, lol.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

I dont like the way some ppl are talking to/about the Black elected officials. It's not like *we* are the majority in Congress or the Senate.

There is a shade of purple lipstick I loved and I cannot find it anywhere. It was $1 and Wet n Wild was the brand. I haven’t been able to find it online either.

Being an instructional coach is hard. I try to communicate without offending but someone will always be offended. It’s hard not taking that personal.
