It really is bizarre watching your elders age before your eyes. Like, what do you mean you used to take care of me and now I’m taking care of you?? What do you mean you’re not going to be here forever???????? 😩

Going through a breakup and my friend (who everyone thinks is my actual sister) is moving away. Down bad. 😓

Also, pop pop can see out his left eye!!

The ophthalmic nurse let me look at pop pop’s eyes through the little eye machine thingy like I’m a little kid ☺️

That’s not entirely true at certain mile markers or at certain times. Especially if they are closing off exits on the jfx and not reporting that.

If I’m sleep by 3am I’ll get 4 hours of sleep 😩

Last year all exits on 83S after coldspring lane were closed. Why?

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 1d

Anyway, I don’t hate to say this but the marathon route map is not helpful. What we need is the street closure map. If that’s out there please share.

Also, Boston, NYC, and Chicago get ZERO complaints, why? BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSIT.

Today was better. I cried a little. And was reminded that grief is an appropriate experience right now. 🥹

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

Waiting rooms are also in the same category as airports and cruises for unhinged lawless behavior.

Hate to admit that I was sad today. I’ll be ok.

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 2d

Couldn’t take it, heat is on 😅

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 2d

Was it here in the states or overseas? But maybe because I’m still eating seafood I’m less sensitive

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 2d

Nope, I ate haggis in Scotland and I was fine 😇

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, doesn’t cut it when I’m craving meat 😩😭

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 2d

Very tempted. I’m pescatarian (although I do eat meat on vacation 😅)

Big Ayo @ayoirl.bsky.social · 2d

One day a month I crave fast food and one day a month a crave meat. Today I want buffalo wings 😓
