Here mostly to share, to shed and shred bits of my thoughts. Writing is to reconnect with my soul. Appreciate the engagements but please take me lightly. I do this for myself.

Hey hun, its also unsanitary to keep the caps on them. It encourages breeding ground for germs. You can just keep it uncovered in your bedroom

I feel that non chalance in performance has always been a part of her brand. When have we ever seen her give choreo? She’s not trying to give Beyoncé. She’s just tryna have a good ole time. And we still enjoy it
Sarunas Jackson saying he’s going to release the tapes of Keke’s mom threatening his family doesn’t help his case.
Given the allegations against you and your brother, it makes sense that she would threaten your family. Any reasonable mother would.
This CXC stuff makes me remember an old friend Jarnicka* W*lson.
I wanted to write Accounts but my mom couldn’t afford the extra lessons. And convent wouldn’t let me add it as a class.
He taught me himself a few times after school. I scored a distinction
@keithlincaroo
Without a proper minimum wage we shouldn’t even entertain the topic of work ethic in Saint Lucia imo. Expecting ppl to work their ass off when they’re being taken advantage of is ridiculous.
I have been to several Caribbean islands, and lived in Jamaica for a year.
I think Trinidad has the tastiest food. Jamaica second.
And I’m Saint Lucian for reference.
Lucian’s can cook but most restaurants cut corners to save money which reduces quality.
If we speak about culinary excellence. No Caribbean country and I mean none can not cook as well as Barbados. (If you went uwi and only ate at the mount or from somebody food van your opinion does not count here)
@thecindynoir
Eat less carbs. It’s really that simple.
You can eat as much meat as you want, just limit carbs. People are addicted to sugar so they struggle.
Lost 20 pounds this way and with this new lifestyle of low-carb, I feel better and never put the weight back on
The reason that professionally ambitious men prefer women from the same socioeconomic background is because men look to their partner for professional and personal counsel, you need to be able to be an informed sounding board

That’s what I thought. Kim was also specifically addressing the marriage dynamic. Many black men have committee familicide / femicide but were unmarried.
The best part of November was being able to celebrate my moms bday with her. We’re almost never in the same country on her bday. Highlight of my year too.
I’m back just about a month later. They’ve cut the grass inside, but not on the outside.
They also failed to actually clean up the grass. It boils down to the same issue of not identifying people to maintain.
@KimberlyNFoster
This may be a foreign concept to some. But traditionally pretty women will tell you, that being bullied for being pretty is definitely a thing. Are we going to act like we don’t know that women can be incredibly vicious when jealous?
Idk abt the colorism.
My man did this. Told me some of my friends were immature and I needed to keep them out our relationship.
He was absolutely right and I chose to listen.
I didn’t cut them off but definitely distanced myself and limited what I would tell them about me.
I was never told this. I was told I should always do my best and I had the potential to become whatever I set my mind to.
I, personally, think it is harmful to tell this to kids.
Most of us have heard this before. You've got to be twice as good, to get half of what they got. My mother used to tell me that, well she still does. This also means there is no room for error either and you will be punished quickly. Today’s news shows this lesson.
Maybe one day we'll talk about how single mothers use their sons to fulfill emotional needs only a romantic partner should.
And these types usually be the monster in laws.
I really don’t like too private of a relationship. I find it strange to not love your partner out loud. No posts, no flirting in the comments, you don’t like or repost their stuff. Lil stuff like that. I just don’t like that
@briittblanc
This is an ignorant take. She’s clearly addressing people who harass her. Influencers have the right to block / express displeasure at harassment if they choose.
I never really paid attention to the Kate Middleton theories.. until now. Something weird is going on.
There’s no way she edited those photos herself. They made her take the fall for it. Nasty family.
I think its important to add that this is specifically Black American children. Black immigrant children are doing very well in the US and form the majority of black students on Ivy League campuses. Nigerians are the top performers.
Ok let’s get back to the subject at hand because we’re getting distracted
Underperforming black children across the United States
What do you think should be done about it?
What responsibility do black parents have in this if any?
Is it even an issue worth talking about?
I get it, I was a doubter too till I started to explore Taylor’s music. Guys, she’s really good at writing great songs. Might even be better than B.
She’s not that great a dancer, but give her credit.
It is what it is. Signed, a black Swiftie.

Yes. Why can’t be bring his unique personality to the job? Y’all all for diversity unless it doesn’t match your politics/agenda. Leave that man alone.

For me its a time thing, it takes me like 10-15 mins to give my dishes an initial rinse then pack them into the washer. It takes me a good 45 minutes to properly wash all my dishes by hand.
@KimberlyNFoster
My issue with it is, why does it sound so familiar? The beat and song structure that is. For that reason alone I don’t think it will win many awards. It can’t be groundbreaking if it sounds so similar to other country songs.
My issue with this tweet is that it can insinuate that Saint Lucians have a poor work ethic.
However if you look at the performance and accomplishments of Lucian’s abroad we see that is not the case.
This makes me so sad :(
I had long covid effects for 3 ish months in 2020. I thought I was going to d*e. I’m thankful I survived. We need more research. My immune system has never been the same :(
I'm going to say, again, that when long COVID effects kill me - sooner than later - I need y'all to recognize and say LOUDLY what it was.
Long COVID is keeping my blood pressure at 230/128, in spite of taking an elaborate cocktail of meds.
Long COVID is shredding my kidneys.
I don't think theres anything wrong in getting into a serious relationship while you're young. As long as you're prioritizing the things that matter, like your career and personal/emotional development.
This is why I think they’re a very ignorant group of people.
Have yall never heard Impact >> Intent?
It’s giving emotionally immature. If someone says you offended them you don’t get to decide you didn’t. You must apologize. Mweh mem
how can you tell someone what is offensive to them? if she said bringing her marriage to prove a point was disrespectful you can’t just decide it’s not…
I enjoyed DDG and Halle’s vlog in Saint Lucia. It was cute!
I haven’t followed her much but Halle seems to have to sweetest personality, and DDG seems enamored with her. It’s great to see.
Another goal of mine is to become a morning person. This night owl life is not sustainable. Morning people, how do you do it??? We’re you always like that??
Uhm Caribbeans and Africans have been doing this for hundreds of years. We call it “green seasoning”, The Hispanics call it Sofrito. The Nigerians use red peppers and call it Red Sauce
Onions, ginger, garlic, parsley and rosemary. Use for your stew and sauces, and to steam your proteins. Makes all the difference, I tell you! Game changer for your meals 🤌🏾
My bestie is an actual structural engineer with her PHD in civil engineering living her best SAHM life.
I text her this morning asking about the bridge she declare “Bordias”
Lmao she’s never going back to work
No matter how hot it gets, I’m reminding myself that I am NOT cutting my hair short this year.
I committed to waist length hair and I’m gone get it. Almost there
If you were not born and raised in the Caribbean, then yes I do consider you an outsider to the culture.
You are Caribbean-adjacent at best.
Pretty sure Africans view this similarly.
@krishtun_
Kai Cenat with a Trinidadian mom and a Haitian father is an outsider to Caribbean culture?
Are you going to let all of the Caribbeans born outside out the islands know they’re outsiders to their own culture?
I love Nara’s content but she is not a trad wife 😂
Nara is a model and entrepreneur. She is simply cosplaying as a trad wife for her social media. I thought we knew this?
I still don’t get the unnecessary hate
I’m thinking, smiling even, at the prospects of someone, a genius of a writer, who’s here already but unknown, having made something great…who’s going to surprise us, might even be the next Chigozie or Okri or Adichie, an ensemble of all if we are lucky. I wait for you.
So it begs the question, what the hell is going in in Black American homes that are disadvantaging children in this way. Is it a poverty issue? but most black immigrants are also poor...
I am standing with her the same way God has stood with me regardless of how I sin against him EVERYDAY.
I cannot and will not defend Deeana’s wrong doings AT ALL, but Deeana has been there for and supported Janelle, Sophia, me, AND Cinelli all in different capacities.
Pregnancy can change and even destroy your body and mind forever. The same way pharmaceutical companies tell us about the side effects of drugs, we need to tell women about the side effects of pregnancy.

I don’t think he’s single by choice. Most ppl aren’t. He wants true love like he has said. But He’s too OLD and rich and is at a stage in his life where most women he meets will only want him for his money. He should’ve settled down a long time ago.

The image aside, you should know history enough to know that many blacks were lynched for far less, so your comment is completely unwarranted. Why move to try to justify lynching using the photograph given its history? Your racism is blinding.
I don’t see anything groundbreaking about Will and Jadas marriage. It just sounds like most long term marriages. Only difference is they can afford to live apart.
Being with a man who studies you, is a beautiful thing. At first you feel so exposed and vulnerable. But you eventually settle into the safety and fulfillment that comes with being truly known.
Oh, the wonderful intimacy of noticing someone’s nervous habits. The calming intimacy of defrosting inside jokes. And the beautiful intimacy of: “how did you know that?” “Because I know you.”
I never compromise on my standards. Meet my standard or be gone. My classic breakup line is this:
“I’m sorry, but your behavior and my standards are incompatible”
you will see the flames of hell within 3 months and persevere because you think that’s what you should do, and all that happens is that things get worse and the stakes get higher. be strict on your values, ideals and preferences and like eartha kitt said - compromise for what?

@oku_yungx
I’ve experienced it. The first time it happened I was shocked. I thought I was having a stroke lol. When really it is just the result of intense pleasure during sex, which sadly rarely happens for women.
I love my friends, but I realize that I *really* don’t enjoy speaking on the phone to them very often.
For me, once every 3-4 months is fine. I don’t mind texting/voice notes but frequent phone calls give me anxiety.
One of my goals this year is to expand my capacity for deep work. Most ppl cannot work for 1 hour without being distracted.
Cal NewPort talks about the 4 hour deep work session. I would like to be able to comfortably do a 6 hour stretch no breaks.
I hate the pressure women feel to be partnered. Pressure that often contributes to harm.
It makes women stay when their lives are on the line. It makes women rush when they should really slow down. It shuts women down when they need to think critically.
Another reason women “quiet quit” before actually leaving is because it makes managing the devastation of the breakup easier.
We start the grieving process long before we leave to jump- start our recovery. And even then it takes years…
It doesn’t make sense but it’s frustrating nonetheless because it’s blatant proof that we (✋🏾) have to work 3x as hard to still be told we’re not worthy of our just accolades.
The stan wars are dumb.
The cultural implications are real. We see it in the workplace.
What tip would you give someone staring at a cabinet full of leave-ins, creams, and oils trying to figure out what to do with them now that they no longer use them? 👀
$20 xcd comes easy to you… for someone who has been unemployed and scraping by, $$6usd to chance is a lot especially in Jamaica.
That $6usd might be the difference between bread n starving the next day
I remember writing that particular exam surprised at how easy it was. That being said I had an amazing teacher and my mom didn’t play lol
Math is math. In order to compete on a global scale you cannot dumb it down for students.
