Currently sending out my mother's day texts and fighting back tears with each message. I'm so in awe of the mother in my life and it's 1000% rooted in the reverence I have for my own. Happy Mother's Day to the moms, muthas, and those mothering.

DO NOT USE Extra Space Storage. They moved my storage unit, lost my items, and refuse to refund me more than 2 months of my storage rent. I've been paying to store someone else's stuff for over 1.5 years and my items are no where to be found. I asked for a refund of 3-4 months. They refused.

We're now at the part where tinned fish and canning are viral trends. We are living in a failing empire and just vibing and curating our way through it. 🙃

People making millions annually already structure their finances to reduce their tax liability. If they are reporting +$1M as income there is a lot more money elsewhere @governor.ny.gov please don't be ridiculous. The 1% will be just fine. Working class NYers will not be. #taxtherich

Today is for the lovers, and I love that. My hope is that the love they share today overflows into the world around them.

I sometimes play games to improve my memory, but the moment feels right for these memorization challenges: - remember 5 key phone numbers - navigate to 3 key destinations without the use of a GPS from various starting points

I love the idea of a general strike, but I'm unclear on how we mobilize. In this economy there has been a massive consolidation of wealth, so our labor is our sharpest sword. However, the system ties so many to their work (hourly workers, healthcare/ benefits etc.) and savings/ surplus are rare rn.

I spent an hour on the phone with my mom catching her up on what's happened in the US this week. I shared a call to action, the percieved barriers to that action, and its historical framing. We are responsible for keeping each other informed. I will not allow the knowledge gap to widen in my home.

Everyday I fight the urge to call someone dumb. I know it's wrong. I want to believe we are all smart in our own way. But the conclusions some folks arrive at has me kicking, screaming, and throwing up. I don'tknow everything and clearly they don't either, so I just pack it up and move on.

I'm starting to take more dance classes, and I'm realizing how great it is for both my physical and "mental" muscles. My memory has suffered (I blame mental overload/ stress), and learning choreo/ pattern repetition is a fun way to sharpen it while releasing stress in the body.

As an avid solo traveler I'm reminded of my womanhood at every step of the way. It isn't limiting, but it's an inevitable consideration. That being said, everyday anywhere, I enter the world with awareness and hopefulness that I'll make it back home.

The fact that Dave Chappelle is still talking about transgender people all these years later is so weird -- a possible obsession. I couldn't even make it halfway through this latest special. It's just -- boring.

The cost of electricity in NY is rising, and will be exacerbated by the multiplying data centers required for the current AI obsession. actionnetwork.org/letters/2026... @publicpowerny.bsky.social is pushing for larger investments in renewable energy to help offset costs.

Today is another day of duality. Family, love, and gratitude against the backdrop of colonization, genocide, and the perpetual degradation of black and brown bodies. It is the former that fuels my fight against the latter.

Spineless and short-sighted. The opposition knows they will always fold which is why these folks need to be replaced. They can no longer negotiate on our behalf.

It's starting to sink in. "Like, am I really about to sponsor a millionaire today? Nope." Every time I'm tempted to spend money, this is the mantra I'm keeping in my head.

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION. Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare. Shame.

Currently in Africa visiting slave ports while US news alerts flood my phone with eerily similar stories. Please realize that the story of slavery didn't begin with drastic shifts on a single day. I am convinced that there is a desire, from some, for this history to repeat itself.

I've traveled a lot, and I've concluded that picking your nose in public is a global crisis. Disregarding respectability -- on a hygienic level, it is a problem. Amidst all of the global chaos, a stop the pick campaign must also ensue.

Crazy how people think Zohran will lead us back to 1980s NYC when it's really this budget bill that's going to take the entire country there. Desperation & poverty are the gasoline that ignite crime. Meeting ones essential needs is a deterrent.

I had the most magical day in Bedstuy on Sunday. Everyone and everything was glowing. I was surrounded by some of my favorite women, and the laughs just kept coming. I had so much extra love to give, and the smallest of things made me smile. When you grow tired, go where you are loved.

NY needs Mamdani as an example of what can happen when you finally realize that it's a wrap for your music career. The possibilities are truly endless once you stop forcing your friends and hinge dates to listen to your music.

Adult friendships are so layered. Everyone is dealing with these big things, and you're trying to be supportive while navigating your own shit and seeking an escape from all of the shit. Vulnerability & adaptability is key.

What have I been splurging on lately? Potting soil and seedlings. How many vegetable plants do you need to have to be considered a farmer? 👩🏿‍🌾 I'm over buying bags of spinach that spoil 15 min after leaving the store. And the US def needed more food regulation - not less.

Just watched an interview with Jamaal Bowman & Corey Bush on Zeeto, and I'm pissed. These two are the types of folks I want to be speaking and fighting on my behalf. Their conviction is palpable, and their vision is clear. The Dem establishment should have been taking notes instead of dirty money.
