Getting caught up on Monday's #BeyondTheGates

I [still] don't care about Dashley.
Ditto for HeauxNessa & Joey's ongoing saga.

Donnell is [sort of] growing on me.

The elevator baby is adorable.

Each episode I hate Nicole a little more.

Please recast Samantha.

FFS, stop the Andre-Ashley bs.

You definitely can tell the difference. I say this as someone who eats (and loves) ground turkey most of the time. I mainly eat turkey burgers. If I make lasagne, chilli, etc. I'm using either ground beef or a combination of turkey and ground beef.

Terence @topolk.bsky.social · 21h

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.

Very Old Pic of D. Gray @blurbette.blacksky.app · 22h

These prices are ridiculous! To be priced out of lean ground beef.

Myra Faye Turner @myrafayeturner.bsky.social · 20h

make it stop!

I just can't stop thinking about this lmfao Why did this happen

Myra Faye Turner @myrafayeturner.bsky.social · 1d

You're not our ally unless we say you are. And based on your unhinged responses, you don't fit the bill.

For the record, Black folks aren't obligated to be nice to you especially when you bum rushed a thread where the OP specifically said she only wanted to hear from Black folks.

Any song Luther covered - obviously

I also like this cover of California Dreamin' by Bobby Womack

I'm not unhappy she won, although I didn't vote for her. At this point, I don't believe 90% of the politicans will do what they promise. What I dislike is folks thinking she's gonna come in, wave a magic want and poof! the city is all unicorns and rainbows and fixed potholes. That ain't happening.

They already did a remake with Laverne Cox several years ago. It was okay.
