Thou may ingest a satchel of immature Richards.

Feeling kind of desperate this year in a way that feels very distinct. All the therapy and medication in the world do not solve lacking resources. Because your life doesn't really improve if you cannot access resources to improve your material conditions. It definitely sometimes feel selfish because I can't reasonably earn money in a way that isn't detrimental to my health. I'm not even sure if I could earn money in the ways that I know that would be damaging for my mental health.

One thing I can hope for though is that I can get these credit cards paid off at least. So if something should happen to me, for whatever reason, my family isn't left with an extreme amount of debt. I hope everyone out there is taking care of themselves as best as they can and know that you have my die-hard appreciation and my tears when you do share and donate. Thank you for reading! 🫶🏾

From the ESSENCE Festival and missing the og Babygirl a lot watching her peers and those inspired by her paying homage.

But also, 👀, ogling tf outta Mya. Like, she's always been a beautiful, sexy ass woman, but when did she add thickness to the menu? My stars, she THICCUH. Feeling slightweight shamed fer being both so sad and thirsty but gotdayum, gurl.

That's crazy, because you wanna know a specific moment where someone being Black clearly mattered more than being an American? At the World Cup, where IShowSpeed was called racial slurs on live TV. Over soccer. Once again, the situation which kickstarted this conversation.

Clearly his being American did not stop them from very comfortably calling him a monkey! I wonder what they saw about his identity first that made that happen 👀 I wonder what sort of society one must be raised in, in order to call someone a racial slur so comfortably 👀 But you know, apparently white supremacy can only be called out in the United States.

Anyway, every single response to this situation has sounded like this to me

Made stuffed bell pepper halves fer the first time ever. And fucked them up [positive]!

Okay, tumblr is not letting me add images right now, hating ass. Edit: got em in!

Anywho, I'm so effing proud. I watched this video to get the basics of what to do and add, but used what I had.

My stuffing mix was:

Wilted spinach

Drained and rinsed can of black beans

Chopped red bell pepper

Diced r/w onions

finely chopped garlic

Ginger pulp

4oz can of tomato sauce

Cooked white rice

Lean ground beef

Shredded sharp cheddar and aged gouda

Seasonings: kosher salt, black pepper, accent, paprika, red pepper flakes, oregano, and a lil brown sugar

I took these leftover in-store bakery cookies, double fudge, and ground them up in the processor to a fine crumble. The chips didn't wanna break up tho so I just ate em as I came to em when I was packing the powder down tight into the glass bowl as a crust.

Then, I took the leftover blueberries, strawberries and a banana and tossed it in the blender with vanilla ice cream, a splash of almond milk, some cinnamon, couple drops of vanilla extract and some chipotle pepper powder. Blended it very well until it was smooth and thick and then I layered it over the crust.

Then I chopped up a chocolate bar with almonds to melt down in the microwave to spread over top the second layer of cookie crust I laid down on the fruit/ice cream mixture. Dropped a dollop of that on top and then slid the bowls in the fridge so we'd have a fancy, pinky up lil treat after the bell peppers.

No recipe, just putting stuffus together I had at home after feeling better to even notice what I had in the kitchen. It's been really nice to be at a point where creativity can happen.
