Slowly but surely I'm about to fall back.

And to disappear from the face of the earth because I'm so embarrassed at myself. I can see again but I can't read.

I want my ticket back.

Today I realized that I do not feel good when I think about that girl and I think that's proof positive that I'm gonna leave it alone.

How to Believe in God Scientific evidence for faith misunderstands faith.

New theories about the existence of God will always proliferate; the only way to protect your own beliefs is “to treat faith as a decision that transcends scientific proof,” Elizabeth Bruenig argues. She discusses her spiritual journey:

NIGGAMANIA

Happy Monday everyone. What happens when you stop petting 😊

I remember everything you say and how you say it because I remember the way it makes me feel.

So don't make me feel like I saw or heard something I didn't. Or is it the case that you don't know how your words and actions land?

I very seriously lament not having the opportunity to experience young love, either in high school or in my mid-20's, because of my geographic circumstances.

It looks so precious from afar when I see younger folks who currently have it.

I was chasing people and situations I shouldn't have.

I want a pizza so fucking bad right now I should've bought one at the grocery store ugh

Pastors working for ICE

Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants

Which one looks more like Jesus???

Operate with more information and get some sense into your head.

I think I finally started down the road of defying emotion with logic by discovering there was no logic behind the emotion.

And just be present no matter what. Damn the limerence.

Because the emotion needs logic. Both ways.

This shit is wild. Greatest career of all time

I did not build a routine for 2025 because I was so worried about money the entire year.

But I think I built up a good cushion to start 2026 with and have a routine.

I have acquired the greens and Mac recipes.

I'm finally inevitable. And now I can rest.

I understand why Talley and Twine needs to put their name on the watch's face but if they had a better font for their name, I would buy a lot of their product in a heartbeat. The designer in me just cannot get past that plain narrow font.

This could've been avoided by not busting a nut in a woman that's not his wife.

But common sense isn't common.

I'm actually going to be more intentional in 2026 about finding these spaces where I can build my community. It's been incidental at best this entire time and this year I just reached a breaking point.

The feeling I had with my friends in LA is what I'm searching for here.

I realize that when I'm hanging with friends in other places, the playbook works to a T. Your friends know people who likely have the same energy as you.

In Chicago, the people I know are on a different wavelength so no wonder my stats are trash at home. We're not aligned.

My useless talent reared itself again this past weekend by meeting another quality woman in another city/state in which I do not live.

I almost threw my hands up in frustration just now but as I reflect, I realize I'm not hanging around people on the same vibration as me here in Chicago.

Today, I finally shaved my peach fuzz off with a straight razor for the first time instead of using clippers. Shout out to me.

2025 was a weirdly successful yet lacking year for romance and the prospect of it.

My heart is tired.

One definition of awkward is when you call your credit card company to cancel a flight and they ask you why you can't go, but you stop just short of answering that you and your girlfriend broke up after planning to go on Christmas vacation together 🫠

Calling Foul: Breaking Down WNBA Pay and Why It Matters Breaking Down WNBA Pay for Women Athletes and Why It Matters: a case study in systemic undervaluing of women’s work

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

This was so cold. Wemby took that KG session seriously

I've never been in love.

I'm seeing as I get older, my mind literally cannot compute interpersonal drama.

Just shit or get off the pot. Be honest with each other. Communication is important!
