I wrote a news story about a woman released on her own recognizance that went out as reconnaissance to our to 200,000 subscribers and on the newspaper’s website. I got emails on it literally for weeks. Me and autocorrect still have beef and it’s on sight with them fr. 🤦🏾‍♀️

This grown man told my 9yo child the hair growing out of her head looked messy and like a weird mushroom. She asked me in her little voice if it’s true and instead of wearing it out today, she put it in ponytail. Now, I have to fight this mfker. 🤬

This woman just loudly asked the nail tech, who was born and raised here, how she likes life in the states. When the tech looked puzzled, she said it slower and louder. Before I could speak, another customer said, ‘Lady, she’s literally American, pls be quiet.’

This girl was so brave and smart to message her mom and alert her that something was very wrong.

I'm gonna need the national media to stop doing 'people don't want to work' stories and do more 'company got PPP money, gave it to shareholders, to officers as bonuses and still cut workers' jobs' stories.

My child broke her arm, had surgery. I've had two other parents tell me not to let her 'milk it' for attention. She broke both bones in her left forearm & is in steady pain. I'm supposed to help her out, I'm her mother. Why do people hate care, kindness for kids so much? WTF?

Women who still call little girls 'fast' instead of holding grown men accountable for preying on them should not be allowed around children. Ever.

Child: Are you mad at me? Me: No, not at all. C: Huh…there was no special snack in my lunch. M: I know. I forgot to get groceries. C: Mom, you said doing chores is important and you didn’t do yours. M: Well, yes, but… C: I’m not mad. I’m disappointed. Pls get some groceries. M:

You were fine with them watching a child be sexually assaulted, impregnated, beaten and verbally abused, but her growing up to find safety and love with a woman is part of a narrative that you don’t want your daughters to see? Just shut your stupid, misogynistic mouth, Boosie.

Much love to all the dads and uncles who won’t let men play in our faces. Prayers down to this delusional dummy.

I’m at an amusement park now with the family and so many of these dudes are just cruising along while the moms are working. It’s wild.

My neighbor works 12hr shifts at hospital. She just got home from work, was sitting in her car a few minutes. Her husband called downstairs to ask when she was coming inside because the kids are hungry. My good sis told that man to feed them, hung up and continued decompressing.

This video looks so futuristic, even in 2024. Missy really was ahead of the game and deserves all of her flowers.
