Posted on June 20, 2020 by A Dreamer

We made it to another Friday

Posted on June 19, 2020 by A Dreamer

Well done YOU! And it’s Juneteenth, and I can’t wait to get on Twitter to find white people trying to co-opt it to make themselves feel better. That being said, I am glad it’s becoming a more widely known day … Continue reading →

Thirsty Thursday

Posted on June 18, 2020 by A Dreamer

And payday! And bill pay day! So…LOL. So, Aunt Jemima is going away. I’m not going to lie, most of my life my dumb ass had zero idea of the crazy racist origins of the brand and just thought it … Continue reading →

Oh look, it’s Monday again

Posted on June 15, 2020 by A Dreamer

A decent nights sleep

Posted on June 13, 2020 by A Dreamer

Well, we made it to Friday

Posted on June 12, 2020 by A Dreamer

In an alternate universe

Posted on June 11, 2020 by A Dreamer
