So, Bill was just a mark? I guess that's okay but I was hoping it was payback for something he did in the past.

It's possible Randy and Hayley are play cousins and not biologically related. Either way I hope this storyline doesn't fizzle out like Bill and Naomi's epic court battle that didn't happen. I'm still disappointed in that flop.

You can't imagine it because you're not Black. Stop centering yourself in a conversation that wasn't directed at you. You came into the Blacksky feed to talk shit. It's a kink with y'all. It's boring and annoying. Get a hobby and leave Blacks folks alone.

Getting caught up on Monday's #BeyondTheGates

I [still] don't care about Dashley.
Ditto for HeauxNessa & Joey's ongoing saga.

Donnell is [sort of] growing on me.

The elevator baby is adorable.

Each episode I hate Nicole a little more.

Please recast Samantha.

FFS, stop the Andre-Ashley bs.

You definitely can tell the difference. I say this as someone who eats (and loves) ground turkey most of the time. I mainly eat turkey burgers. If I make lasagne, chilli, etc. I'm using either ground beef or a combination of turkey and ground beef.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 1d

Now is a great time to consider switching over to ground turkey. Unless you’re making burgers, you can’t tell the difference in 90% of recipes.

Half the cost and healthier for you.

These prices are ridiculous! To be priced out of lean ground beef.

Myra Faye Turner @myrafayeturner.bsky.social · 1d

make it stop!

I just can't stop thinking about this lmfao Why did this happen

Myra Faye Turner @myrafayeturner.bsky.social · 1d

You're not our ally unless we say you are. And based on your unhinged responses, you don't fit the bill.

For the record, Black folks aren't obligated to be nice to you especially when you bum rushed a thread where the OP specifically said she only wanted to hear from Black folks.

Any song Luther covered - obviously

I also like this cover of California Dreamin' by Bobby Womack
