Jhene really said on that Ceilings (Freestyle), “And you’re the type of bitch only a mother could make when the daddy don’t stay.” If I were Big Sean I would get on one of them Bezos and go to outer space. Ain’t no sense in staying on earth bruv.

Earlier today I was talking to a guy I’m curious about. As we catching up on what we’ve both been up to he mentions that he went to Cancún with someone. I said “someone like a friend or???” He chuckled and was like “it was just to celebrate some milestones.” I said “you are so mysterious”…

I just finished watching Adults earlier and I’ve already started it over again because what a great show and what a loss! People wouldn’t know good TV if one fell from a window on their heads.

I'm watching the Love Island reunion, and I'm not gonna front, I got kinda emotional watching them get their phones back and seeing how the world has been reacting to them. Even down to them seeing how many followers they got. Imagine going from being unknown to globally known #loveislandreunion

Also the best investment I made this summer was in an AMC A-List membership. Me and the movies been so locked in because the theatre is the only other place outside of mass where I can just focus on the thing in front of me. So I guess Nicole Kidman in her shiny suit was kinda right

Recently, I was talking to someone about Married at First Sight's Shawn and Nikki, particularly about how freaked out Shawn is and how much I felt he pressured Nikki for physical intimacy. This person said, "They're married!" Meaning, because they are married, Nikki shoulda been ready or else...

Black academics need to start taking our leave from the academy and leave the academy of whiteness to its own fucked up devices. I’ll be honest in saying, if y’all want to make the academy great again, you can have it. You cannot have another one of our lives in exchange for your toxicity.

I don’t remember the reaction to this film but I can appreciate the moral complexity of it. If you found out the worst thing your soon to be spouse ever did was something reprehensible, yet they have never done anything like that again, could you still love and marry them?

Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man was absolutely awful! I saw it through a Scream Unseen ticket where you get the ticket knowing it is a movie that has yet to be released but you don’t find out what the movie is until it starts playing. When Roth popped up and said “Ice Cream Man” I was pissed

Possibly unpopular opinion but people hyping Beyoncé’s Morning Dew (Donk) song prove that sometimes her fandom is not critical enough. But I love Beyonce enough to be like “After Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, this is not good enough, hit me back when you have Act 3. Please and Thank you. ”

I am so happy about David Jonsson being the Black Panther. Him as the choice is faithful to Boseman’s spirit and that of the character we all have grown to love so much. I also just love that Jonsson is not a typical muscular actor—I mean that literally and figuratively. Jonsson is the right one

Confessions of an overextended academic: I've resorted to ghosting because even sending an email is more than I can manage at this point. It's really just getting to be too much and all because pre-tenure makes you feel like you should say yes to everything to build a compelling file.
