So many different kinds of exhaustion, and they're all so exhausting. I would say when does this end but it doesn't. So many different kinds of exhaustion. I would say when does this end but it doesn't. So many different kinds of exhaustion.

this had me chuckled the first time reading this. and, it also makes sense of how we’ve gone from the idea that any two women being friends are automatically deemed queer to the 21st century rendition of this, in the phrase that men like to throw at known as “girl’s girl”. my, what idiots we are.

I’m walking my way to my job on Hollywood Boulevard, and I look across from me, I see and hear a Black woman was singing her heart out to “Amor Prohibido”. It warms my heart to know that Selena’s memory has never left. She’s loved and respected and admired by so many people. We don’t play about her.

Dana Johnson has done it again for me. The stories in “Break Any Woman Down” are simply spectacular. Compelling and tender and nuanced and funny and sharp and downright engrossing. One of my new favorite collections by one of my favorite writers. She is Los Angeles and Los Angeles is her.

Learning that Candace Owens, the same Candace Owens who wore a hoodie sweater with the line “White Lives Matter” written on the back, having had past relationships with women is hilarious. and the hair is in no way helping her hide that.

I’m still in the feels of it all, and that’s how I know and acknowledge that I am witness in the presence of art that moves and shifts how we consider humanity itself even further. an incredible film that carries so much heart and truth, genuinely loving & incredibly tender at best. Go see it!

“Television” is a formidable debút, and life itself is like the best television you’ve come across. Funny, insightful, very seductive and very smart, firm in its own assertion, and one of the realest depictions of Hollywood & contemporary Los Angeles I’ve come across.

This may sound pretty concerning to some people when I say this: in a world where the rich continue to be rich and the working class & poor (as in many of us) continue finding ourselves “working” our way out of the possibility of being impoverished, I’d rather be broke and unhoused than be gaslit.

As someone who is not from the state of Mississippi and not from the U.S South, I’ve noticed that on social media that people have come to say that they hate Mississippi. As a non-Southern person, I cannot say that I despise Mississippi simply because I do not know much about the state and place.

I love the many ways Solange expresses her sense of freedom. Whether it’s music, song, dance, friendship, kin, joy, childlikeness, femininity etc…, we can all learn a thing or two about how we can be our own free selves through Solange. She’s an ethereal musician and woman.

I am reminded of a certain saying of sorts: when one has money and privilege and power, it can make you become something that you know you’re not, and you end up making some really ill-fitted decisions, some that will affect others and most especially yourself.

The stories in “The World With Its Mouth Open” are tender, poignant, funny, quietly radiant, and fully humane. So much uncertainty and so much grief, yet these characters still manage to figure out how to continue living and build memories and seek connection, in the face of war, violence and loss.

It is wild that some of you are completely content with genocide, fascism, homophobia, misogyny, and white supremacy more so than you rather combating against it. and it shows. it’s such a mindfuck, one that you did to yourself which then fucks everybody up.

Rewatching “The DUFF” has me in full acknowledgment of a few things: I was very much one myself, I don’t miss high school whatsoever, and high school itself is overrated as fuck. I’m glad to be a late-blooming misfit. misfits are the best kind of people.

grief also allows the opportunity to consider differently and more of what we thought we know and/or knew, what we truly actually consider the most and what we don’t consider anymore, and what overall matter the most. grief is also an act of love; love that was never expressed.

“Lonely Crowds” is too damn good to be true. An unforgettable debut. Very smart and rich in emotional depth, funny, queer, cinematic, tender. One of the most compelling portraits of friendship I’ve ever read. Stephanie Wambugu had me intrigued and left me wanting more, especially that ending!!!

English is such a complicated language; there are words that are spelled as is and/or spelled in many different ways yet aren’t spelled similarly like their derivative(s), words that mean something particularly different to some, and even speaking it somehow is challenging, first tongue or not.

In light of this country’s first anniversary of the unaliving of a particular white supremacist in a few days, bad bunny won 7 Emmys for his SuperBowl halftime show. ignorance really is bliss when you decide to be a horrible person, and then you go as that. must feel nice, right?

In learning of Gloria Steinem’s passing, I am reminded of what Myriam Gurba said about the crucial necessity in considering how we think of those we admire and are influenced by through considering their actions & flaws so that we can understand how to live rightly and justly.

unpopular opinion: if you work at a food spot and there’s a clogged drainage that creates a tiny flood where the dirty water is spread throughout much of the area, every worker shouldn’t be working that day. It is dangerous and unhealthy and unsafe and incredibly risky. that shit needs to be fixed!
