WHERE ARE THE BOYS?!
What a sentiment, is it not. This TikTok creator named Lonnie Hammons made a TikTok saying, “Where Are The Boys?” in regards to Eadem, which is a skincare and beauty brand. He does have a serious on his page where he does it do countless other brands but he is mainly doing it do brands that known to be women owned. Which is kind of weird, because makeup has been something that women have been widely know to use across the world and are biggest consumers of. Yes, men do use ma

Weaponized Incompetence
The concept of weaponized incompetence being used in the work place is not surprising, but obscenely annoying. The way how those who act like they can not do something skid by when it comes to their performance, but if you are someone who does their work diligently, all of a sudden they want you to bend over backwards and do everything like its military style. Like my current job is making my ass itch, seriously. I would say that I do my work pretty well, which is a curse sin

Am I Being too Finicky?
At work I am supposedly getting my own office, I am moving up from being in the front to having my own office. Yay, I guess. I assumed that the would take place before they hired the new person but to my shock, they were hired before I could even get my new office. The whole situation is a mess to be honest. I have been so overstimulated the past few days, and I do not want to be ageist. However, companies hiring people who are not technologically advanced is kind of annoying

To Date or Not to Date....
This may sound crazy but a few years ago, I think my freshman year of college, I said ‘when I reach 22 years old I would give up on dating’. Which is insane, I know, my college friends thought the same. But, what can a girl say, the dating scene is absolutely atrocious. Men these days want to be courted, they do not have personalities, they have no drive or ambition for anything in life, and all they care about are the physical attributes of a relationship instead of the emot

Looking Ahead
Am I suffering from the Black woman curse of having a mid life crisis and solving it by going back to school and getting another degree? Lately, I have been contemplating on going back to school, which is insane considering the current climate of the country. It may sound dumb and chicken of me, but considering we are living in a fascist dictatorship, I have to ponder on this investment. Education is truly is an investment. It should be available to everyone, but it has beco

You Should Dj Some More!
Why are people so against women djeey-ing? God forbid a girl tries to have some fun. Like why are men allowed to be s*xually liberated, but women get shunned for it? Per Planned Parenthood, “M*sturbation can actually be good for your health, both mentally and physically”. Many people assume that if you m*sturbate it is dirty, or that we should not be touching our private areas. Which is a little insane, like why would you not want to touch yourself? My philosophy professor fo

I Pick Carl
Love Island season 8, episode 21. What a damn episode, if I am being honest. That first look dropped at like 3 p.m. and my nerves were bad till 6 a.m. the next day. F**CKING INSANE!!!! First off, the core four – Aniya, Trinity, Kayda, and Melanie. I love these girls dearly, their men; except Bryce, ehhhh not so much. I will say, that I love their friendship and closeness. They keep saying that the girls are too cliquey. However, they have a close relationships because, yet it

THE SKINNY EPIDEMIC!
Why is everyone so thin? Nowadays, everyone is obscenely thin. It is a little scary. Like not to be rude by why am I seeing so much bone. I feel like this stems from the abnormal beauty standards that society plays into. Society always wants women to conform themselves to make men feel better, which should never happen! Men get on social media and comment on how fat women are, saying they should only weigh 120 pounds. Absurd behavior, in my opinion. Are you the chief of a wom

The Romanticization of Toxic Relationships!!!!!
Is it dark romance or is it an abusive tendency in a relationship? There are a lot of pieces of media that glorify toxicity in relationships, and people tend to enjoy it. Which is kind of weird, cause is there a screw loose?......................................................................................................Yes, there is. When I think of people being in relationships where their significant other belittles them, harps on them for small things, and they st

The generation of lustful men
Men these days always feel like they are entitled to a woman’s body, isn't that insane? They truly believe that if they do something good for you one time, they should be rewarded with some coochie and nipple. Sorry for the bad language. I am going to put some real-life examples here. I know the majority of us are watching Love Island. As we know, a new season has been airing for almost a month now, and each year the men show that you have to keep a close eye on them. They wi
