Standing 6'4" tall, I'm just a mixed-race introvert who was born, raised, and lives in Los Angeles. Life is like a tornado, and I'm just the cow that's being spun around for cinematic value ✨️

An ex who would say awful things about me, including my cock. I haven't had sex now for about 5 years, in part because of that.

I'm in therapy now and working on accepting and loving myself for who I am and what I have to offer ❤️ #FCF #Feet #Friday #BodyPositivity #SelfLove #Love #MentalHealth

This is a step in the right direction but let's not forget he performed for Trump. It's going to take A LOT more effort than just this #SnoopDogg #DonaldTrump #Trump #Politics #Political #JeremyBeloate #LGBTQ #GLAAD #SpiritDay #Love

Snoop Dogg teams up with GLAAD and queer artist Jeremy Beloate to support LGBTQ+ youth and families, following his earlier remarks about queer relationships in films:

“Partnering with GLAAD for Spirit Day just felt right, because spreading love and respect for everybody is what real gangstas do.”

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

The reason they fight so hard, loud, crazy, lying at every opportunity, exaggerating everything until it makes no sense - is that they know if they lose, they’re going to prison. We have to make sure they go there.

For what it is worth, I'm really proud of you for going back to therapy. I recently did the same thing. It's not easy, but it was the best decision that I have made. We're warriors, we got this! 💝

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

War on women.
War on voting rights.
War on Latinos.
War on California.
War on institutions.
War on history.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

He didn't even say anything about his neckussy, which looks mighty "bigly" and loose as ever... but his hair? You mean that cotton candy mound glued to his head? I'm surprised anything was captured in this photo 🤣 #DonaldTrump #TimeMagazine #Trump #MAGA #Politics

Donald Trump says his TIME Magazine cover may be the “worst picture of all time”:

“They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird!”

Two pairs of large, weathered hands hold small piles of fine white granules between thumb and forefinger, sprinkling them downward in symmetrical streams against a warm, dark brown background. The left stream appears as salt, the right as sugar, both indistinguishable in appearance. Centered below the falling granules is white text on a beige overlay: "Be careful who you trust. Salt and sugar look the same." The composition evokes caution through visual similarity and subtle wordplay.
