Always trust a big girl with a cackle & an accent. Unapologetically Black, authentically me. Either in a mumu or heels yelling about sport, work, life. Words my own; not endorsed by/reflective of employer. Reposts & likes don’t always equate endorsement.

I’m Brittany (Brit-tany, she/her, andro), an educator living & working in the American South with roots in the U.K.

I’m looking to create an intentionally Black space to nourish, laugh, & feel authentic.

I’m fairly corny, big, random & funny, other things too.
Hello! Welcome! Let’s be friends. 🖤💙

Britt, educated big mouth @blkcuriositea.bsky.social · Nov 13

I’ve made it here from the other place*.

Hoping to find my people, even if they’re new (as long as they’re real).

I’m not abandoning my home, but I’m a rich bitch so I’m investing in myself.
*(aka I’m still on Twitter too)

Let’s be kind to each other; we deserve one another. 🖤💙🤍

Somebody please love me enough to buy me a pedicure; I cannot adequately describe how much my feet hurt.

Showed up with a box of treats for my vet’s office staff, and the horse guys came from the barn to call dibs 😂😂😂

Y’all pray for me:

I brushed my teeth and then put on mango chapstick.

5. Whitney Houston

(I teach college.)

It is still here.

Despite numerous opportunities to leave (or even die), the cicada has been chirping nonstop since Saturday night.

It is now Monday morning and I think the best plan is to simply burn my house down.

GET OUT

Britt, educated big mouth @blkcuriositea.bsky.social · 6d

A cicada made its way into my garage but cannot find its way out.

They (other owners) famously hate him and don’t let him in on the negotiations because he is fully prepared to say yes to all of the demands lol

Oh he would LOVE to! Who do you think is the one who got the LV Chamber of Commerce to give the team $100K for playing in Vegas??
And he was right behind the Tsais when it came to charters.

If it was up to him, Becky and A’ja would make $5-10M!

He gets shut down by the league and the other owners.

FWIW, the Aces’ owner wasn’t being ugly — he meant Becky is the highest paid whether it’s on paper or not.

This game is making me sad.

They add my section as its own, stand-alone agenda item so I’ve spent the morning getting ducks in a row.

Britt, educated big mouth @blkcuriositea.bsky.social · 10d

I cannot explain it, it isn’t a euphemism and I’m not being saucy in the morning:

I somehow managed to lose my pants.

I was wearing them and then I wasn’t and then they were gone.

I have walked all over my house and I have no idea what happened.

They have disappeared from the face of the earth

I didn’t experience this when I was younger, but I’ve reached the age where any tv/movie/book scenes with children in harm’s way are becoming absolute no-gos.

Started a new-to-me show and spent 45 minutes yelling “SOMEBODY SAVE THE BABY” during a kidnapping plot.

Tonight, there was a spider in my shoe.

I ended class.

Vet: We can slow down on the testing, I’m sure he doesn’t like it.

Me: Yeah, he definitely wasn’t a fan.

Vet: Are you gonna be okay if we hold off?

Me [who’s been crying herself to sleep for the past four days and waking up at 2:30AM to jab my cat and cry some more]: Think so.

Goodness and authenticity can be seen as threats in a world of hate and performance.

I guessed I had 15 apps open.

Anyway I just closed 72 goodnight!

(Your girlfriend does not like you. She may love and rely on you, but over and over, she continually shows you that she does not like you, and honestly it makes me quite sad because you deserve much, much better.)

Playoff baseball has run over; WNBA Countdown is on ESPN U though I’m unsure if the game itself has been moved.

We’ll take all the good vibes, thoughts, prayers, hopes, and wishes.

Too much to put into words.

Britt, educated big mouth @blkcuriositea.bsky.social · Aug 13

We’re back to worrying a bit (but just a bit).

Britt, educated big mouth @blkcuriositea.bsky.social · Jul 21

A whole month + a switch in vets later, and we’ve finally got some answers.

It was the best of the bad, and he’ll be okay.
“He’s still got a some good years running,” according to the vet.

Thank you to every person who checked in and rooted me on. Please know it made such a difference. 🩶🩶🩶

Someone sent me FIVE “real quick” changes to something that, of course, took hours.

Finally finished and went to send…and another change was sent, undoing all the work I’ve done this morning.

Britt, educated big mouth @blkcuriositea.bsky.social · 22d

Just thinking about how in grad school one of the guys always referred to people as “Lady” and Good Sir” in his write-ups, and a girl wrote a passive aggressive story about how disrespectful it is to call women “ladies” and refused to acknowledge or accept the his genuine apology.

New handle:

(Been stalked and doxxed one too many times and it’s never a bad thing to be a little less findable.)

I have three students in the same class whose names are just inverse of the others.

Think:
George David
Bob George
David Bob
