I never understand when a sales person in a "high end" store acts this way. Uh...you work here [not me]. You dont own the brand. How dare you lol.

My mom and I in the same Gigi Hunter dress some years apart. She made numerous custom dresses and sets for my mom back in the day (she was based in MI where we are from). GOAT!
There was a "chef" visiting Milwaukee recently. He asked for food recommendations. The comments from Milwaukeeans ruined my day. Loud and wrong. Lots of "we don't have good food here - go to Chicago instead." Just say you don't have the opportunity to get out much.
There are recent law graduates on Twitter calling themselves lawyers without a bar number. And doubling down on it due to...google? As ppl who just studied the art of effective research, analysis, and critical thinking for 3 yrs, yall are genuinely scaring me.
My flight began boarding at 9:20 out of MKE. I walked into the airport at 9:20, went through tsa [precheck], and leisurely strolled to my gate. I boarded exactly when it was my time. Milwaukeeans know this is totally possible and true lol.
Hear me out, Milwaukee. If you've ever been to Parc in Detroit, that's what we need. Good food/drinks; glass architecture with retractable doors for the summer; weekend brunch; perfect "rest" spot for an activated downtown (urban beach in summer; outdoor movies; tree during xmas)
For once something good comes of me quietly reading other folks' business on twitter. These cookbooks are fire. Seasoning and rubs with ingredients that stay stocked in my cabinet?? Yes!
Gentle reminder the next time you're being overly critical about your message, tone, or delivery: sometimes it isn't what you say or how you say something that rubs people the wrong way. Sometimes it's just the fact that it came from you.
Lawyers are so cringe sometimes, lol. Being baited into a back and forth with a random person online that has you recalling your lsat score (?!) after 15+ yrs of practice to prove what, exactly? 🥴 It's Tuesday MORNING, and the sun is shining, friends. Be well.
"You're living well! They must pay you the big bucks!"
Maybe. Or maybe I just don't have children. Do you know how far your dollar stretches when you don't have children? We have all made our choices at this stage in life.

See also: hiring 0 Black service providers. Touting "Black owned" and "Black Excellence" but the consultants, CPA, lawyer, PR person, and construction company are devoid of Black folks/owners. Drives me nuts.
Boyz II Men came out swinging with “Motownphilly” a perfect debut single .. it introduced you to the group & it was catchy, didn’t have to be from Philly to jam to this 🔥

This. Also, if you have a Running Fit or equivalent, they will let you try on the shoes and run outside or on a treadmill to assess what's working (or not working) for you. The shoes are so so important. And a good sports bra (I like Target high impact bras). You got this.
It's REALLY good. It is one of the best reboots I've seen, honestly. The cast is perfect. Great writing. The tone is familiar enough to make you feel nostalgic but fresh enough to make you keep tuning in. Highly recommend.
Y'all better watch The Wonder Years reboot this summer. It's coming back on June 14th. I have a feeling that airing season 2 in this time slot is its last chance on the network so please support! Excellent Black show now streaming season 1 on Hulu. Go watch!
I adopted Milwaukee as my home over a decade ago. Even when presented with opportunities to go elsewhere, I've continued to choose MKE for many reasons. Excellent choice. 😊 Happy 414 Day!

SuperGoop is Bae as a make up primer and as a standalone because it had a little shimmer on it. If you're not into that, no.
But Cetaphil daily moisturizer with spf works just fine. No white cast if you get the bigger bottle.
Soooo there’s this calculator that you can put in your family size + where you live and it tells you what you need to make annually to live a “modest yet adequate” lifestyle.

If we improve bike lines I'll really stop driving to work. The only thing stopping me is how scary this route is (because cars) and the less scary route = hills. This would at least help with the scary car situation.
A protected bike lane from Downtown to the West Side, a redesign of N. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. in Downtown and improvements to Pere Marquette Park are all part of a new financing plan.
Had an awesome time at the ceremonial groundbreaking for the future Milwaukee Public Museum. As an MPM board member, I'm so proud of the staff, community, govt officials, & donors who made this possible. In the words of

Yes, except hair and massages. I started wearing braids more bc they're easier and that cut down costs/time (at least in my city). I don't much care for massages. Look into bundling some of this stuff or getting a massage or facial monthly pass - will likely cut costs.
Had an amazing time at the

@ShimminyKricket
I hate people are baited into this conversation publicly because it gets distilled down to something simple and reductive, as if choosing a partner isn't generally complex/layered/nuanced. We all make a bunch of assumptions and it's just...a waste.
@Frediculous
This tweet ain't it for several reasons lol. Women don't have some inherent dislike for men, so I'm going yo assume ur being facetious. But hopefully you know women aren't asking you to talk to rando men. Theyre talking abt your friends, family, and men who find you influential
I'm also amused (annoyed?) when people post about what they didn't learn when I, a student from the same school, recall learning it. You were disinterested. Don't pile on teachers/parents/the school.

You may be surprised at how many women executives (non-millionaires) have stay at home husbands. A. Lot. Most people at that level aren't stupid and have calculated that risk appropriately. 🤷🏾♀️

The art in my home. Not a Picasso or anything, but thousands have been spent on photography, paintings, wired photos, and a host of other things hanging on the walls. I regret nothing and want more.
By complete happenstance, I was seated at a bar in Spain next to a young lady who went to
@MarquetteU
. We had a great conversation about how underrated of a foodie town Milwaukee is - it was awesome.
This morning, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude about my life. Completely out the blue. To the point I felt misty-eyed in public. Being on this planet. Being healthy. Being able to do and be who I am. God is great.
How does this fiction persist? Attorney and lawyer are interchangeable terms in the USA. Don't believe me? Publicly hold yourself out as a lawyer without being a licensed bar member and see what happens.
Hi, new followers! Sorry to disappoint, but despite the handle [& that 1 tweet], I rarely talk abt the law. This is just a public page to engage w/people who love MKE, care about bettering our communities, like funny/cute pop culture references, food, and maybe practice law lol.
So many good things happened in Milwaukee today:
✔️ Our mayor was sworn into 2nd term + unveiled new initiatives.
✔️ Ushered in the most diverse CC ever.
✔️ New city attorney sworn in.
✔️ New Visit Milwaukee promo + logo is out.
✔️ Our gardens received some much needed rain. 💐
For 2024, I decided that one of my hobbies I wanted to lean more into would be floral arrangements/designs. I've been casually arranging forever, but I've been challenging myself to do more at my leisure. I made these bouquets + centerpieces earlier this week.
Just a couple Black women from the Westside of Detroit. 😁 Many gems and inspiring words from
@jemelehill
this morning. Thank you!!
P.S. My mom is also a Mustang. I have a permanent forearm burn from training/falling on that track in HS. IYKYK.
Another jam-packed weekend in Milwaukee!
✔️ Wisconsin State Fair
✔️ Bronzeville Cultural & Arts Festival
✔️ Jamaican Independence Day cookout
✔️ Round of golf at Lincoln Park
This is the 1st time I've attempted to take a critical look at this. A couple of thoughts:
1. I think the data will always skew poorly for MKE bc many middle class Black natives move to the burbs. How many don't bc of lists like this? Self-fulfilling prophecy
I'm actually not that upset with Molly this episode. She took an Issa jab but laid off at Andrew's direction. The towel/pool scene was intense and she could've handled it a bit better, but it wasn't bad enough to hate her.

Back in whose day? Lol. It's 2022. What mature adult thinks wearing pants that fit and not looking weathered from partying = square? These are just alternate universes we're talking about.
@mindfullyemily
It's also google. The entire first page is filled with law firm blog posts pretending this is a thing. Now JDs and other lay people are citing it as a source. I want better for law graduates.
@Frediculous
You wish you could pay your mortgage for 20 years and never be any close to owning it outright? Nah. Lol. And you can't just put your SLs in forbearance forever either. I hear that it's advantageous for you. But those "perks" aren't really perks for most.

for the time they allowed the the 2019 40u40 photos to take place in the Milwaukee Library. Such a beautiful space.
The Milwaukee Public Library is home to more than 2.5 million books — but it’s their TikTok videos that are writing their next chapter.
@jacobsoboroff
reports on the pop-culture inspired videos from employees that have become a hit.
Speeding through parking lots/structures and residential areas really grinds my gears. It's bad enough that you could injure anyone, but these are spaces where kids in particular can unexpectedly dart out.
I worry about attorneys (and professionals in general) that use their real names and photos on public social media profiles to say things I'm 100% sure they wouldnt want their employer or professional circle to bring up. Do we need more CLEs on this topic??
I can't imagine being married to someone who doesn't think it's an honor and a privilege to take care of me.
That's the vibe I need personally.
Y'all can keep these City Boys. lol
This happened to me before. 2 brothas (one I realized I knew after the fact) came out of the woodworks simply because they saw a man getting entirely too close to me. I felt protected and proud. I prayed for them both.
Today a black man who was a STRANGER, protected me in the face of harm.
I hope God covers him. That shit so unheard of these days, it doesn’t cost to be decent. He feared nothing and said “no life should be compromised by the foolishness of men”
Didn’t have to know me.

Let's wrap up responses to MKE detractors by COB. At this point, I'm accustomed to folks disparaging my beloved Midwest cities that they've never visited or know very little about. We don't care. Stay wherever it is you live.
