Have you ever noticed how we try to find flowers in the trash?

last night,
i caught up with a friend who are is in the middle of separation/divorce.
sadly,
she has latched onto a rebound.

A jackal that she knows is a complete disaster.

at 37,
with two kids,
weight gain from stress,
and insecurities eating away at her…

We’re in the middle of a major misinformation crisis right now.

it’s got me thinking:

Do people even bother getting the full story anymore?

i mean,
how can we when one clip and a chorus of ‘me too’s‘ is all it takes to form an opinion?
google should be everyone’s bff,
just like it’s mine.

case in point: tyrese went off on joe biden and kamala harris for signing a hate bill,
but only for the asian community.

keith boykin swooped in to add to the discussion…

i usually keep it lowkey but today?
i’m claiming my happiness.
for years,
i felt like an outsider looking in,
surrounded by my straight peers/associates,
always questioning where i stood.
picking up pom poms to cheer many of them on but when it came to me,
i barely got the same energy that i needed.
i won’t lie but it always hurt my feelings because it made me feel used.
i’ve come to learn…

How well do we really know the people we admire?
Or are we just falling for the highlight reel they want us to see?

if you’re not watching industry on hbo,
you’re missing one of the best shows out right now.
it’s the kind of series that sneaks up on you.
what started with a small but loyal audience has blown up,
especially in season three.
adding jon snow to the mix?

genius move.

season three has been flawless,
with each episode being a legit masterpiece.
last night’s focus on rishi ramdani played by sagar radia was no exception…

I think Sagar is hot.

rishi has that sexy and cocky vibe that’s hard to resist for me,
but his story line took a sharp turn,
leaving me rethinking everything when it comes to his type…

I couldn’t help but wonder…
When did we start believing that real males don’t cry?

as boys,
we’re taught to bottle things up,
to hide those pesky emotions because,
apparently,
vulnerability doesn’t fit the masculine mold.
if being “a real male” means being brave:

What if the most “masculine” thing a man can do is shed a tear?

we’ve all been there,
standing at the edge of our emotions,
afraid to let them flow.
i’m here to font to you…

Peep the views.

i knew we’d end up here soon.
the so-called “race war” initiative was bound to kick off but let’s be real:

No one actually cares.
We’re just counting down the days until this election circus is over so we can get back to living our lives.

it’s all getting so tired and guess which team continues to stir the pot?

why aren’t they realizing the antics are turning many people off?
so the following popped up in elon’s swamp:

A white she-jackal supposedly getting beaten up for,
wait for it,
allegedly wearing a Trump shirt.
