I think people are in general are free to go to the doctor and Black people have quite a few reasons that we should be leery of going to the doctor but go anyway

my literary hot take is that anytime someone shows the slightest interest in reading you got to sell them on it like you got a quota to hit. book tok, 19th century goth, fairy smut, trashy detective novels, sci-fi fantasy, audiobooks, self-help, whatever, if someone is excited to read encourage them

Shit feels like it's decaying. That isn't to say I'm hopeless or don't still believe in the possibility of better. But this *gestures everywhere* don't just feel like the natural cycle of life, death, rebirth and growth. Feels like this place is afflicted with rot

The really big thing that takes us out of here and I know it may sound cliché, but it really is hugely significant is STRESS. We should start thinking about stress as a physical condition because that is exactly what it is.

Lmao me as fuck at Trader Joe’s. Cart full of affordable shit.

Next thing I know, I spent $150.

Well, that’s the other issue. It’s also all reasonably priced! So, I just keep tossing stuff in the basket… it’s less reasonably priced when you buy half the store.

An important aspect of advocating for yourself in medical spaces is having the script to do so. Knowing what to say and where to go next. Including having intimate knowledge of your health insurance or options if you are under/uninsured.

Sports gambling is a complete economic and social disaster and I don’t think we have seen such a bad move recently

My maternal gma literally just died from pancreatic cancer just like D’Angelo and I am a caretaker for multiple relatives so I’m not letting ignorance slide man, gwan.

Black men and women, REGULARLY go get checked and argue doctors DOWN. Get second, third and fourth opinions. You know your body.

The only thing that’s keeping me hopeful is at some point, the hyenas did turn on Scar. Looking forward to that.

And ykw, there something so sinister about demonizing black creativity. Yes we want good messages in songs but to not listen to any black artists bc it’s “ungodly”???..

Bombastic side eye.
