If you missed the Dirty Computer film on BET last night, you can watch the whole thing on Youtube
I just wanna paint the town. I don’t wanna hide my love.
I just wanna hold your hand and be the one that you think of
When you need a holiday, when you wanna drink rosé
I just wanna paint your toes, and in the morning, kiss your nose
‘Cause when I’m with you, I don’t feel afraid. Maybe this love will indoctrinate
High I go with every word that you say. The way you feel, yeah, I feel the same way.
Remember the night when I combed your hair? I hope I didn’t freak you out when I stared.
I donate my truth to you like I’m rich. The truth is, love ain’t got no off switch.
So if the walls come tumbling down, and if the ocean really does drown, and if my memories never come back, I’ll still remember where we first was naked at.
Picture our faces and new oases. When we made love, we left many traces.Janelle Monae & Tessa Thompson in Dirty Computer (2018)
♫ Pink like the inside of your, baby / Pink like the walls and the doors, maybe / Pink like your fingers in my, maybe / Pink is the truth you can’t hide / Pink like your tongue going round, baby / Pink like the sun going down, maybe / Pink like the holes in your heart, baby / Pink is my favourite part ♫

…I almost killed myself
I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I don’t know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter “Hold on “ he yelled to a coworker.
I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says “I made it a large”.
That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I… I’m alive. I’ll make it through.
Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.
Thank you man at McDonalds.
The milkshake saved my life
I hope you all can read this and remember to be kind
The smallest of gestures can save a life. My Mum answered her phone when I called and I am alive today because of that.
I’m glad you’re here.
It’s a phone call, a milkshake, a friend.

Thanks so much. We are seeking legal council. 🙏🏾✨
Hey y'all, remember when I made that post about my mom being in the hospital? Well she was pretty sick, but after a doctor accidentally nicked her artery during a routine procedure, she was bleeding internally and her heart stopped. Doctors were able to revive her, and she is now on all the life support things: ventilator, dialysis, feeding tube, hella medications, and near constant interventions. She is fighting, y'all.
Brujxs! Witches! Conjure people! If you can, please do a thing if this crosses your dash. Say a thing, pause for a moment and think about healing, light a candle, give an offering to Oya or Legba on her behalf?
Also, it costs a lot to be in the hospital day after day. I’m missing paid work (and so are my siblings) and could use help for food and care things. Hit my CashApp $EkuaAdisa if you are able.
Any support would be so appreciated by my family.
Please share this post and spread this conjure request far and wide.🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏼
Any shares or reblogs would be nice. Or even a like to let us know a prayer went up, a candle was lit. My mom is still on life support.
I’m so grateful for all of the support, y'all. 😭My mom’s condition is mostly the same, critical but presently stable. Taking it moment by moment. Writing about my emotions here:

Please keep praying and hit my CashApp if you can.

So much gratitude.
I’m so grateful for the support, y'all have no idea. Things have been hectic these past few months, but my mom is getting better and better. She is no longer on life support and is walking and regaining her speech after the stroke. Doctors finally found the root cause to her issues, a condition called pheochromocytoma, and she had her left adrenal gland removed this week. She is recovering from surgery in the hospital and will be back home with us soon.
The past six months of care taking, hospital hopping, and putting my work/needs on the back burner have put a significant strain on my pockets and my mental health. I’m doing my best to stay afloat and hoping that soon I will be able to take a break and get some healing for myself.
Thank y'all for every candle, ritual, thought, prayer. It’s a miracle that my mom is alive right now and that is thanks in part to y'all. 🙏🏾✨
The beauty is in discovering that the sound is the feeling.
They continuously birth each other, like a feedback loop of matryoshka dolls.
“witch” derived from an old english word. non-white cultures who practiced magic weren’t using the word witch. /all i take issue with is men using the word witch, not men practicing magic/. y’all can’t fucking read.
So by your definition, since it’s an old English word and non-white cultures weren’t using it, only white women can use it? because if you’re saying that men can’t use it because it is an old English that only applies to women, and at the time it was made it only applied to white women because women of color were not seen as actual women or people
So by your definition only white women can use it! wow you’re racist and a TERF! Good to know. Keep beying racist and shutting down the voices of poc everywhere!
