Day *365* of The Great Quarantine:
Here we are, officially at one year. One year since my job went fully remote. One year since I started counting the days. I didn’t expect to keep counting for this long, but it gave me something to do and was a way to look back and remember.
This is the death that pained me the most. I am so incredibly hurt for this family who sent their daughter to the US only for her to be killed in cold blood. My God.
I hate that people forget that Biden has a severe stutter that he’s fought all his life. Stutters also include blocks, where sometimes the words in your brain have a hard time coming out.
Instead, y’all calling him senile and having a stroke. Smh

Anyway, muting this for my sanity and because there is so much hate and evil in these replies, but for those of you who know kindness and have been showing it, bless you. The world needs you ❤️
A jury has convicted Tory Lanez of all three charges for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. A crazy and downright scary scene in the courtroom as his father and stepmother screamed about wicks injustice.
Day 110 of The Great Quarantine:
30. Flirty. And THRIVING.
Thank you to everyone who made this quarantine birthday one for the books. I feel extremely loved, grateful, and ready for the next decade 👑✨
The Trump supporters in this

interview are still despicable when they can sit here and apologize for someone who has disparaged all the people of color and women at the table. Disgusting.

This is WILDLY disappointing and perpetuates the humanization of a domestic terrorist. Legal definition be damned, this man terrorized our city for almost a month and KILLED people. Other folks with challenges in their lives don’t do this.
I laid it all on the table and gave my absolute best today. It’s in God’s hands now and if it’s for me, it’s for me. If it’s not, it’s not.
But I feel happy knowing I went in super prepared, confident, and gave it my all 🩷
It took 6 hours, but I made this pot of gumbo ALL BY MYSELF, with mom 6+ feet away giving instructions. It smells and tastes amazing, I HAVE REACHED MY FINAL FORM! 🤤
Update, since Mimi is the people’s grandma™:
She called and said her fingers looked purple, it was so cold. So I braved the roads and drove to go get her. Do not recommend for anyone else. I just thank God I got here back with me to my apt safely and we didn’t crash.
My father is going in for major surgery tomorrow morning. He desperately needs this procedure in order to improve his quality of life. I’m heading to DFW today.
Please send up all the prayers you’ve got. He won’t admit it, but he’s terrified.
Your girl has been extremely busy and so I have't really gotten a chance to sit down and examine my ballot for tomorrow's primary until now. I realize that I'm now in HD-50, so I get to vote for

to represent me!!
I asked the TL over six months ago for advice and y’all showed out. I appreciate it.
30 years old and finally bought my first vibrator. I’m v excited!!
(Spare me your shocked and disapproving tweets, I’m a GROWN woman and women’s sexual health should be normalized.)
Yeah, Austin Energy leadership deserves all the hate it’s getting because they should’ve NEVER posted on socials this morning that power would be restored within 12-24 hours. Just say you don’t know.
Day 104 of The Great Quarantine:
Massive praise report. My BRCA1 and BRCA2 test results came in.
I’M NEGATIVE.
This means I’m not at an increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer. I’m bawling right now. Tears of joy. These genes run in my family y’all, but I’m negative!! 😭🙌🏽
Another high note for the day: I just paid off my car 9 months early. No more car note and no more interest. Very privileged to be in a financial position to easily do this.
Oh happy day 😊☀️
I was so moved reading her story. I feel like it really speaks to me and hell, it’ll probably be me one day. Gentleness, care, and deep intimacy is really…not guaranteed in the dating world and it’s exhausting and scary.
My favorite parts:
Y’all...we don’t have to cancel our hotel reservation in DC for Inauguration Day. We about to actually book the flight.
Lex will be live from DC on Inauguration Day decked out in pink and green!! 😭😭😭
Update: He’s out of surgery and headed into recovery!! We can go up to see him soon.
Thank y’all for your prayers, kind words, and well wishes ❤️ Now, his road to healing begins.
My father is going in for major surgery tomorrow morning. He desperately needs this procedure in order to improve his quality of life. I’m heading to DFW today.
Please send up all the prayers you’ve got. He won’t admit it, but he’s terrified.
Please get these jokes and this hate out now. Maybe one day, we will have the left-wing Jesus ticket of our dreams.
But rn I’m about getting this fool out the White House, balancing the SCOTUS, improving our rep, and pushing forward progressive policies. I’ll be at the polls.
Day 311 of The Great Quarantine:
Happy
#Inauguration
Day and shout out to all of us rocking our pearls today to honor this historic moment in history 💕💚
I laid it all on the table and gave my absolute best today. It’s in God’s hands now and if it’s for me, it’s for me. If it’s not, it’s not.
But I feel happy knowing I went in super prepared, confident, and gave it my all 🩷
Just here on Twitter to let folks know that my relationship with my grandma isn’t always sunshine and roses. Just got into a knock down drag out fight with her because she has YET AGAIN made comments about my weight.
And I finally fought back. I’m not putting up with this shit.
This is my body. This is me. My grandmother thinks I’m a whale at this weight. And I told her even if I WAS fat, she should still love and respect me and not comment on MY fucking body.
Day 304 of The Great Quarantine:
Successfully got my grandma an appointment to get her COVID vaccine tomorrow!! Props to
@AusPublicHealth
for such a smooth and easy registration process!
Even though nearly half of U.S. states already allow canine dining outdoors, the issue is far from settled, with many restaurants pushing back against the increasing presence of dogs.
This tweet is doing numbers. I have nothing to promote except to STOP GERRYMANDERING AND VOTER SUPPRESSION IN TEXAS. And give a shit about people other than yourself. Have a good day!
“As far as I’m concerned, the judges just grenaded their credibility.”
No but seriously. I don’t even snowboard but Ayumu Hirano just had the most perfect looking run I’ve ever seen

@IssaRae
for being such a trailblazer. One of the first times I’ve truly identified with characters, situations, a tv show period. All the way back to the Awkward Black Girl web series 10 years ago.
Y’all…my grandma cried talking about those murdered kids. Mimi broke down and cried. Because she was an elementary school teacher for decades. And those babies in Uvalde probably look exactly like the kids she taught for years. I thought I was numb, but that broke me.
Day 338 of The Great Quarantine/Day 3 of The Great Texas Freeze:
Mimi will likely be my roommate until Friday when the city thaws. The plus is that she’s warm, safe, and is currently making her famous meatloaf bc she packed up half her kitchen to bring with her to my apt lmao
The older I’ve gotten, the more my mom and I have been able to talk about love and sex and career and life things like sister-girlfriends who’ve known each other for years. I truly cherish that we now BOTH give each other advice. Me and her against the world. Forever.
This why I couldn’t applaud Emma Stone when she shaded the majority male director category. That cat also had a black male nom, and a Mexican immigrant nom. But y’all are silent about the lily white best actress cat. This is white feminism.
A deputy sheriff’s daughter was killed in Uvalde and he just said on national television that he’s a cop and he wants the guns to go away. He wants it to end and doesn’t want his daughter to just be another name. RIP Lexi Rubio.
We got sideswiped by an 18-wheeler. The car is likely totaled. Currently riding in it on the back of a tow truck.
I can only thank God that all of us are okay, with one person having minor airbag injuries. This could’ve been catastrophic.
Immensely proud of our Black UT students for speaking up, for the alums who have been speaking on these issues for years, and for the work staff/faculty/administration put in behind the scenes to make this happen.
I’m proud of my alma mater and I’m proud to have been involved.
This CLOWN was in the room when they got married, knowing how old she was, AND forged the papers and he had the nerve to be on here laughing?! ARREST HIM!!
#SurvivingRkelly
I’m just here to say that I am v proud of myself for going to a 7 AM spin class and then NOT going back to sleep immediately after. I actually ran an errand and then started on some work projects before my first 10:30 meeting!
I know I’mma crash by 3 PM though lmaoooo
Baby…the world doesn’t respect the US because we had an orange fool in office for 4 years. We still tryna recover but can’t because you’re still up here in the limelight 😫
#Debates2024
One episode down and I fucking love it, OF COURSE I DO. Gossip, romance, slow burns, scandal, high society, longing stares, British accents, historic fashion? This is my world.
I am FINALLY starting “Bridgerton,” which I’m sure to love because I’m your resident Queen of the Anglophiles™
Spare me your shock at me not having seen it yet, sometimes I like to wait until hype has died down. And because I wasn’t gonna watch sex scenes with mom around lmao
Is it just me, or is anyone else having a hard time composing emails and making significant progress on projects these days? It just feels like it takes a gargantuan amount of effort to do these things and I hate feeling this way
