Anyways. I’m going back to sleep. Only got up to take the trash to the curb because it’s Thursday and I keep forgetting my 2025 Resolution to pull it to the curb the night before.

Will she remember next time? Find out next week on Dragonball Z!

Please get the entire fuck outta here. Yall know exactly why Black Politicians haven’t outright said this shit. So miss me with the condescension couched in “pleasant surprise.”

“He (finally) sees the game for what it is.”

The Black Man who literally had to defend wearing a TAN suit while in office???? The Black Man who has been telling the public for years “when they go low, we go high” was advice to their juvenile daughters navigating a private school landscape?

I have thoughts about this. And they aren’t kind? Lol

Gonna sit with them and share them all later, but know that I got about halfway through this before closing it because I am annoyed that (white) people seems to enjoy chastising Black political figures when y’all white ones are right there????

Obama explicitly endorsing the California gerrymander is good … and a little disconcerting. Wrote about it for BFT: badfaithtimes.com/barack-obama...

Barack Obama (Finally) Sees The Game For What It Is

That Obama is backing California's gerrymander is hopeful and a little frightening.

Me every day at least twice a day, “Someone who is not me should be taking notes on this.” 😂😂😂

I want to quit so bad but every time I think about it??? I get a bill reminder. I keep telling myself that if I can pay ahead a couple of months, I will and leave then. Happy you are free!

Me: So when you thumbs up a message, you’re just acknowledging that it went through and not that you read it?
Team Member: Well… sometimes.
Me: Thank you for your honesty. Stop doing that.

It’s funny to me because I spent the better part of three years wondering if I was being gaslit and in the last two months???? EVERYONE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

A coworker was like, “Yeah. You not tripping. Start going off because if yall end up in HR, they gonna have to explain everything.”

lol. What was hilarious about today is I led a training that went so bad that I put my head down at one point. And one of the TLs was like, “Courtney IS NOT okay!” 😂

Hey everyone. I’m really busy this week but I wanted to help a friend raise their late rent money. They’re having a really hard time as a single parent. They need $600 or will face eviction on the 23rd. Anything helps. They’re trying not to end up in a shelter. PayPal/e-transfer [email protected]

A Black Man who’s exhausted all his small savings after losing his job is asking for help. While currently looking for work he needs help with past due bills and making rent. If we each give $1 he’ll reach his goal. We’ve helped 159 people so far, let’s keep going.

I was going to stay quiet, but it’s a lot of judgmental posts flying around. And thank you for reading. 💗

This is also why a lot of white people on the right be looking at them like they crazy. They sit in their homes and break bread over the dinner table and know their REAL feelings.

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 3d

White people on the left seriously act like people of color made up racism to sow division & if we can just get in line & absolve them of their privilege we can all get back to the class war.

It’s nice that yall want to quote the stats on life expectancy and medical outcomes, but the system won’t suddenly start doing right by Black People because we all magically start going to the Dr regularly.

So please keep the judgement out your tones.

You know? I’m always bothered when we lose a significant figure in the Black Community and it stems from a medical condition. Because a whole lot of people get to talking about what we should do as a whole and it just lacks sensitivity.

I do appreciate the ppl who try to bring some nuance tho.

That's exactly why I said the conversation has to be broader ... it ain't always folks not going to the doctor or not being on top of their health.
