In my family, nothing. Jamaicans don’t have boundaries. It’s fair game and open season because propriety is a colonized mindset. They gonna talk about politics, religion, and each other right in front of each other
7. What is one topic that is absolutely off limits at the Thanksgiving gathering?

My dad is determined to give me a heart attack. He used my Nutribullet to blend a bunch of ginger, consistently overfilled the cup, which led to it leaking into the motor. Then he tells me about the leak and proceeds to "rinse" the machine out by spraying water directly into the motor chamber. So...

I've been watching Scandal from season one, and this is my first rewatch since I watched it in real time almost a decade ago. I know I have grown because watching it now, I don't find shit appealing about Olivia Pope being so goofy over Fitz. It gives me major ick.

Imagine being this foolish and posting something like this knowing that you actually wish you could catch a woman like Meg but you can’t because your beard has split ends.
He said "we lost him". Now when did you ever even have him?
When we say the men are weird, they are in fact weird.

Recently I started hanging out with a new group women, all from my samba class and it has been so refreshing for one very specific reason. Most times when we hang out, we pass the Bechdel test. That is, a group of women talking to each other about something other than men.

About 12 years ago, I wrote a final paper entitled "I Wish Her Heart Still Was in Rhymin': Hip Hop Feminist Ethics in a World of Wanskta Feminists." Nicki Minaj was an example of a wanksta feminist then, and reading the recent news about her, I see that she still is.

Jacob Elordi is doing his BIG ONE as the creature in Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. I mean his biggest one. This is an award-winning performance, a breathtaking one too.

This book! Whew! Toni was doing more of her big one with this novel. This is my first time reading it and I am spellbound by it, more than I have been on any other Morrison book I’ve read

Since the house phone in the room counts, I got my first phone at about 13. We had these phones in every room in our house because my uncle had a hookup on them (Super Jamaican ting). So I had this business ass phone in my room and I hated the ring with a passion

I'm so glad the truth is coming to light about Reasonable Doubt. For so long I was watching this season like, "Is it my table lamps? Is my vision failing?" Nope, the show is just dimly lit, and we all been straining our eyes to watch it. Season 4 better be brighter tho.

Woke up still thinking about how bad the Outkast tribute performances were at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. Doja Cat forgetting the bars for Ms. Jackson, Janelle being all over the place from being offkey to just squirming like a dying bug.

This All's Fair show is so awful. Kim Kardashian is literally bringing down the reputation of better actresses. Also, if I were any of them, I would not have agreed to this

This Rosalia album is Grammy AOTY material, and if it gets nominated for the 2027 Grammys, it better be the top contender among top contenders. I don't want to hear shit from Taylor Swift because she ain't touching this with that mediocre album.
