I was going to stay quiet, but it’s a lot of judgmental posts flying around. And thank you for reading. 💗

This is also why a lot of white people on the right be looking at them like they crazy. They sit in their homes and break bread over the dinner table and know their REAL feelings.

White people on the left seriously act like people of color made up racism to sow division & if we can just get in line & absolve them of their privilege we can all get back to the class war.

It’s nice that yall want to quote the stats on life expectancy and medical outcomes, but the system won’t suddenly start doing right by Black People because we all magically start going to the Dr regularly.

So please keep the judgement out your tones.

You know? I’m always bothered when we lose a significant figure in the Black Community and it stems from a medical condition. Because a whole lot of people get to talking about what we should do as a whole and it just lacks sensitivity.

I do appreciate the ppl who try to bring some nuance tho.

That's exactly why I said the conversation has to be broader ... it ain't always folks not going to the doctor or not being on top of their health.

That very, very awkward moment I’m in bed and realize I fit the diagnostic criteria for CRPS. 😐

I had an idea this morning when I woke up the first time. I was super drowsy but I could hear a voice saying, “Remember your dreams.”

I don’t remember them, so I guess I’ll be doing some writing/journaling until I do.

I’m sitting here mad and sad. Realized the only thing I ate today was a cup of Corn Pops (no milk). 😐

I was going to log in a little earlier to work today. And I remember what they did to me yesterday and just readjusted my position in bed instead.

Turkey is also going up. Don’t be surprised if you see it spike sharply now that the holidays are here (just saying this because it’s not “half the cost” in my area). And you can actually tell the difference in taste because it’s a leaner meat.

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.

Looks like two outs because the first catcher saved the ball and kept it in play. But I could be wrong.

I was raised in a Pepsi household. Them years I had to drink Coke (and not Mexican Coke) were a lil rough for your girl. Lol

SWIIRL @thatonegirlkendra.blacksky.app · 26d

I really only care about Black opinions. Are you a Pepsi or Coke drinker?

Today I ruined someone’s day at work by explaining the reason blue jeans are actually blue. Here’s to hoping they leave me alone the rest of the damn week.

I have but only because I know someone who was supposed to go to that event and decided not to at the last minute.

I saw a video talking about a recent mass shooting at a bar on a Gulla Geechie island off SC. Has anyone else heard about this?

I’m awake. I’m alive. My nap helped a lil bit, but I could not use my cold cap for my migraine because I forgot to put it back in the freezer the last time I used it. 😩🥲

Anyway… I’m about to put on my migraine cold cap and lay down. Chat with yall in an hour and some change.

It’s Courtney. @hersoulwrites.bsky.social · 1d

Okay. So I thought I was tripping about how bad this current migraine is. Was just standing next to my Momma and she could see my pulse in my temple. 🫠

It’s Courtney. @hersoulwrites.bsky.social · 1d

I’m cranky. Finna go lay down and try this being an adult shit later.

(I already ate, so I’m not hungry. Just sad.)
