I've done a few things in my career, but I was always behind the scenes. I just kept my head down and worked.

changed alllll that. I love that something I really created for MYSELF resonates with so many.
I'm so proud to be included in

TikTok users warned that men are so creepy they developed/shared ways to remove the filter because even though there's ass and titties all over the internet for free, they get off on the lack of consent.**
BREAKING: A full-scale manhunt is underway for members of the mob that attacked the Capitol.
On top of the damage done inside, sources tell CBS News that a laptop possibly containing sensitive national security information was stolen.

I really want these two stranger little girls whom I know nothing about to remain lifelong friends so we can get a version of this pic at every graduation they have.
Lmaooooo @ everybody in the comments talmbout "North wants a normal life" like her daddy ain't been walking around the entire western hemisphere wearing socks and football pads under a "police" shirt with a woman in pantyhose holding a pillow as a blouse.
Kim talks about her struggles with parenting North West:
“North, she’ll go to her dad’s, she’ll be like, dad, is the best! He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security, he lives in an apartment, and she’ll start crying,…
First of all, married 8 years? How old is this man?
Secondly, "... do things for your partner that they genuinely want and need and not just trying to do things you *think* they want" may feel like semantics to some but it's so big.
I've been doxxed once in all my years on the internet.
Guess whose fanbase did it?
... for saying (at the time) "This woman is 38 years old."
(But then I found the kid who did it in real life after the also tried to harass me on IG, sent them a picture of themselves, their…
The Simpsons really predicted the titanic submarine situation .. and that they would completely run out of oxygen (watch till the end) this is actually scary.
I shared last year that the "fairy tale" proposal that went viral a few years back was my former co-worker and gave a little update.
I have a NEW update: they just welcomed their son into the world a few weeks ago 🥹
For those wanting an update... Lee posted this to his public account after their wedding (they just celebrated their 2nd anniversary) so I think he'd been fine with me posting here. Watch until the very end!
Teens and twenty-somethings...bump all this other life stuff older folks be telling you for a minute. I'ma give you the real game:
Start taking supplements for bone and joint health NOW. Protect your knees, ankles, hips and back.
Thank me in 25 years.
So...
@DaBabyDaBaby
responded to this. The worker asked to video him while he was holding his 2 yr old. He said no bc he didn’t want people to know where he was staying & compromise her safety. Dude did it anyway and didn’t know DaBaby saw him...
I caught myself about to say "Noooo..." and stopped. Mother Cicely has been present with us, lucid, sharing of herself up until the VERY END. And 96 years is a *blessing.*
So I am celebrating her life as she transitions to the ancestors.
actors are on strike, writers are on strike, teamsters are on strike, hotel employees are on strike, grad students are on strike, health care workers are on strike... can we realize there are deep systemic issues in this country yet
Tyler James Williams convinced his ABBOTT ELEMENTARY co-star Janelle James to upgrade to a BMW after the show got picked up for a second season: “No b-tch, you cannot pull up to season two in a Mazda!”
I’m at the beach with my family and they pulled out the cards for

. I didn’t want to play because they take their spades game waaaay too serious. We two games in. How do you think it’s going over here? 😂
Keith Lee's Atlanta visit now has coverage from TMZ, Rolling Stone, and the NY Times...
What'd them people say? "Who is Keith Lee?" Guess they finding out...
Keith Lee is not Anthony Bourdain.
He has said he doesn't research for his trips.
He is not aspiring to show the world through food; that's not what he wants to do. He just wants to highlight local Black-owned restaurants SUGGESTED BY FOLLOWERS.
Something to think about. Is he right? In hindsight, Keith Lee could be showing us the world through food. Yet tastes have proven shallow.
But shoutout to those getting it right.
I still think that boy had no business in that batman suit but Will & Jada raised thoughtful, creative, compassionate young adults who fck with each other and fck with them and that's not small.
.... told them doxxing was a crime and I'd passed their info to my atty, and they sent me mad audio messages sobbing about how their grandma can't find out and they need to be able to go to college)
Police shot an unarmed Black man in Atlanta after responding to reports he was sleeping in his car in a Wendy’s parking lot. Allegedly shot him in the back. Apparenlty he’s critical but still alive. This was appx 3 hours ago.
We had some wins this week but we have MILES TO GO.
Found 'em. This is just two of several over two days (this was during a weekend and I told them they'd have to just see what would happen on Monday), but they're all pretty much the same.
Let's rephrase: should families stop booking around solo seats with the expectation that the person in that seat will just move, when solo travelers often paid for their preferred seat specifically chose it in advance?
Men dominating the professional cooking space and acting like women aren't skilled enough to be head chefs, but men acting like cooking is a woman's domain at home.
Nevermind, that's actually misogyny..
Tisha Campbell paid for Gabrielle Union to go to therapy early in her career because "I want my sisters to win."
What an incredible gift from seasoned vet to someone getting their feet under them.
(Also, the ladies look AMAZING.)
1. No employer is ever in life gonna ask to see your physical degree
2. I once had someone I hired get fired 3 weeks in when his verification came back and he lied about graduating. The run is, he didn't NEED a degree for the position, but he was still fired for the lie.
All my girls are finesse queens.💅🏾 Imagine making $65k+ EXTRA in salary all because you put that you have a lil funky degree on your resume and you made that degree in Canva or Adobe.
I’m screaming!!! 💀💀
Netflix will move away from the binge model for future projects, meaning it will stop releasing entire seasons at once & instead release episodes weekly.
A reminder that urban planning and eminent domain started being used as tools of racism and oppression almost as soon as Black Americans had been free long enough to acquire land and build communities.
An all-Black town called Willard, Virginia was destroyed to build Dulles Airport.
And there’s more. The town was named after the Willard family, which I wrote about in the reparations chapter of my new book, Why Does Everything Have to Be About Race?
So this feels like a good time to clarify that being an independent artist simply means you are not signed to a label as a recording artist.
It does not mean you don't have management.
It does not mean you don't have distribution.
It means you don't have a recording contract.
Supremes co-founder Mary Wilson has joined the ancestors. Whenever I think of her, my mind IMMEDIATELY goes to the only Soul Train line Don Cornelius ever went down - bc Mary wanted him to.
Artist development included developing a stage show: pacing, breath control, all that. These new artists don't do small clubs local and build to radio dates to bigger stages over time. They go straight to a festival stage and half rap over the track.
I want a supercut of this first 8 count from every performance Blue has done so far in sequence, bc her increased comfort level performance over performance is so dope to see.
I also told them they better hope nobody showed up at my house and robbed me or hurt me bc they'd be legally responsible, and then the audio messages were damn near unintelligible.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a story more illustrative about how women try to let men down gently and men are completely oblivious to it, become obsessive about it, and the world calls it “romance.”
She also knew she couldn't actually create an album that would be a proper follow up to Miseducation bc she burned almost everyone who made the album what it was.
Lauryn Hill BLOWS me as an artist. She was so incredibly talented. I understand her goal was to remain authentic and establish boundaries within a parasitic industry but she did so by letting down everyone around after receiving numerous chances and turning into a zealot.
As someone who used to be with a celeb whose considered very approachable as they tried to go about their life: to a fan, you're just one person trying to politely say how much you appreciate them real quick. But for them, they need to "turn on" every time that happens. You're
One thing y'all gotta learn about Anthony Mackie; leave that man alone 😭😭😭 it's public knowledge he does NAWT like to be bothered in public & you crying cause he said no lmao
