Had a good cry tonight. They were tears of love and appreciation. My life is reflecting the change I wish to see in this world. Felt my mother in everything I did today. There was warmth, calm, and strength that felt so damn good. Grief is the deepest, most complexing, beautiful expression of love.

The entire album is sexy as fuck. Haven’t felt this since Talk a Good Game. Kudos, Victoria.

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

This song came at a perfect time in my life. Internal conflict. Unending pain. Grief. Anger that seeped into every fiber of my being. But ready to embrace the person I’d become.

Hmmm I like this song Miley. Also I wish she chose Millie as a stage name. Most people pronounce Miley as Millie in Tennessee anyway.

would you like to start a conversation with the customer service chatbot. would you like to use the doctor’s self-service phone system. do you reject the warm touch of a lover. do you long for the cold embrace of steel. will you replace your soul with hydraulic fluid

Almost accidentally posted a nude with that picture, and if you knew my mama, she’d laugh and encourage me to post it anyway. Miss her humor as much as I miss her smile.

Definitely understand this position. I feel empathy is both innate and nurtured. Often how people express their capacity for it can feel it’s either innate of learned.
