D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚

This is a reminder to all black men.
Our life expectancy is 71.

71 means 35 is your midlife.

Get to being intentionally proactive about your health if you haven't been.

We deserve better but we must also be better.

My 2 cents that noone asked for.

To be in good health really is a blessing that we take for granted. I just want to feel energized and healthy without any major ailments

On the other hand, the knowledge, experience and opportunity for personal and professional growth is worth something when done right. I think they just push too many people towards it like it's the only option when it really shouldn't be.

Poetic Science Girl 👩🏾‍🔬✒️ @gigigammy28.blacksky.app · 8h

Yes and no. It depends on what you're trying to get out of it and how you fund it. Funding going to college is scammy to me because the push for loans they know most people won't be able to pay back if they even make it through college is bullshit.

19. Is college a scam? Why or why not?

I'm not willing to stress myself into an early grave about other people's supposed expectations of me and what I'm supposed to do or how successful I'm supposed to be anymore. I cope better these days.

17. How is the college you different from current you?

Poetic Science Girl 👩🏾‍🔬✒️ @gigigammy28.blacksky.app · 8h

Would have gone to more events and wouldn't have dealt with a particular nigga for as long as I did.

The mostly quiet kid that did my work and tried not to bother nobody up. Got a little more vocal in college but I still mostly focused on my schooling and not getting involved in foolishness.

4. What type of person were you in school?

Poetic Science Girl 👩🏾‍🔬✒️ @gigigammy28.blacksky.app · 8h

A. I have two, My English 102/English 201 Professor and the Dean of my Department in College.

B. They were interesting, insightful, a little deranged but impactful to who I am now. That and the fact they both saw me beyond just my academic aptitude.

3a. Who was your favorite teacher in school?

3b. What made them your favorite?

Poetic Science Girl 👩🏾‍🔬✒️ @gigigammy28.blacksky.app · 8h

The capacity to hold insightful and meaningful conversations about even the most mundane and trivial seeming things and gain valuable information and lessons from things people often dismiss and overlook as meaningless.

Nah. I'm not gonna make a big deal of that cause, at the end of the day, she's just doing her job. Them being queer ain't got shit to do with me or the bra fitting, at least not in my humble opinion.

Ladies, Theydies, and Fems:

Would you feel any type of way getting a bra-fitting by a queer woman?

You're welcome. 🫶🏾 And indeed they do!
