Surgery is 12/31. I have to get to and from appointments, cover wound care supplies that my insurance won’t, and make sure I’ve got $ for incidentals after I pay bills.

Hey, y'all. If someone has created something that you enjoy, please don't be afraid to tell them. So many of us are in solitude when we create and do it from our hearts, so hearing that it matters to someone else can make a huge difference in how we view our efforts.

The way they disrespect their ancestors all while claiming to connect with them.
Instead of healing themselves and offering healing to their ancestors, they want to control and abuse their people just as they were controlled and abused.

I got so emotional today seeing how the students get trained to go lobby & lead their own research. It has reminded me that one seed can bring so many fruits. I’m so so proud of everyone in our community. 😭 you can check out the work at survivorsandallies.com

Yes, I’m still awake. One of the online girlie pops was talking about this lowkey being a race to snag CNN before the mid terms and that is the theory I’m going with.
Paramount is making a hostile bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery after losing a major bidding battle to Netflix.
They are offering an all-cash deal worth $108 BILLION.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Hey y’all. My sister & I are facing an urgent housing crisis. Because of a major snowstorm, we haven’t been able to work, & now we can’t cover the full cost of our temporary housing for tomorrow. We’re doing everything we can to stay safe, warm, & stable, but we need help to get through this moment.

My new best friend, tree-ripened Granny Smith apples. Picked them at MIL's house last weekend.
They're sweet with charming hints of tartness and have small red spotting on the skin.
Let them be a winter apple, you won't regret! Flavor as complex as wine & criollo chocolate ✨️
I am transported 🙌🏾🌱

Black men please get checked
In the past two weeks I have heard stories about 1 man passing at 31 from a heart attack and another man passing at 34 from a stroke
I personally knew one man and my dad knew the other one
This is not normal ! Please do not play about your health.

I am immediately IMMEDIATELY baking sweet braided bread. Takes 4 eggs per batch. Cardamon or lemon zest. Maybe I'll make 4 loaves of each.
Once I can pick myself up off the floor.
These neighbors are gonna eat good.

Don't laugh but, until just a few minutes ago, I never had a chance to eat any of our chickens' eggs.
I'd heard how good they were but...
Holee molee, these are the BEST eggs I've ever eaten in my life!!
Including from my flock 10y ago.
They're even a little sweet?! 🌱🥹
