You saying you thought this was a singular experience struck me because I feel like so many people are in this boat and not talking about it. I’ve had a bunch of conversations with friends when I found out they were barely holding on for a period of time, and I had no idea. I went through a very rough patch myself and…

I felt this article deep in my bones. I’m 35, have a master’s degree, and have a pretty decent resume. I do social justice education, and the work is incredibly satisfying (and at times infuriating, but I knew what I was getting into), but the money just isn’t there. I’m working on getting a side-hustle because I have…

WHOLE. HOOD. EATING.

The trucking is very necessary but the industry is in a crisis with not enough drivers.So yes they hire anyone that can pass a background check. Even if they barely pass as I have seen.  

I could see the driver having left it there to drive his bobtail somewhere that he couldn’t park a 53-footer.

The quality is much lower—thinner, softer metal with thinner, softer paint/coating—and they almost never offer free installation. Installing it yourself suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

YESSSS. I treated myeslf to an Elfa closet after buying my house (I’ve always had shitty apartment closets and this is my first BRAND NEW HOUSE) and I’m so glad I did it! I don’t have a lot of clothes, and I can’t remember the last time I bought a new shirt but FUCK I love my closet!

A whole 53ft truck??? I work in logistics and man for that to happen, you better start questioning the driver.  

We have only 1 closet in our entire house. After an epic collapse of the abysmal Rubbermaid shelves that came with the place, I went all out on an ELFA closet. It matches our maple wood and everything. I even got a ton of noice solid shelves to hold the mister’s sneaker collection. Love it so much.

This statement about Pharrell: “If he told me today that all of his people were vampires, I’d believe him.”

Iman is 63!!

On everything: Queen Latifah’s and Pharrell’s agelessness make no goddamn sense and I don’t trust them. It’s abnormal even for us melanin-blessed.

Angela Basset set the bar high for most of the women in my circle. She could be in a nursing home and would still be finer that most of these self proclaimed IG models setting thirst traps for cuffing season.  That woman is BAD!  I gotta take a walk...

Yep, I follow her on IG. She and Queen Latifah could do a Living Single reboot today and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

The great thing about being in NYC is it goes like this:

I’m dead this entire post is a massacre!

Won’t go too hard on Nicki in this description, because she might DM my boss. Just disappointed that all this time we thought she was a motherfuckin’ monster, but she’s really just an opp.

I gotta say, her eyelashes look like 22 spiders having a lodge meeting.  It’s not cute, it’s horrifying to me.
