An ode to my lifetime sentence as a chronically online writer lmfao! From 2006 till infinity! — We made it to another fabulous milestone: 2000 followers! *throws rainbow confetti everywhere!* Can you believe it folks? 2 stacks! I’ve been on this Medium journey for two and a half years. I’ve written about so many different topics. I’ve found my way onto so…

We love a video game adaptation that respects the source material! — After I finished watching the season finale of HBO’s The Last of Us, I thought, “Wow, this has to be the best damn video game adaptation ever made.” Its love for the source material it brings to life is crystal clear. That’s the real reason why it’s so damn good.

A new season is upon us; it’s time to break out the Hefty bags. — A few days ago, I threw away about a dozen of expired makeup products I had. They were taking up space in a purse I repurposed as a secondary makeup bag. There’s something about decluttering that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together, like you’ve never forgotten to…

If I will ride for anything, it’s the library. — If there’s one thing I want you to take away from my writing, it’s that you should get a library card and use the hell out of it.

Seven Days in June By Tia Williams: What a beautifully-written, fun, and sexy romance novel. It felt like a book that was made for me. The moment I…

Better late than never, I always say. — This right here is a special 2-for-1 edition of my monthly album roundup. These bits of musical documentation tell the story of my journey to listen to 100 new (to me) albums throughout 2023. In 2022, I finished this challenge by the end of March. This year, I’m trying to…

We’re getting the band back together! — Every cast from popular 2000s TV shows, and they momma, got a rewatch podcast — and I am living for it. I love that podcasts are getting casts back together and telling the story behind the shows I love so much. Below are two of my favorite rewatch podcasts to…

Not me caring about the characters in a ghost movie… — *Minor spoilers for Netflix’s “We Have a Ghost” below* I cannot believe that as a proud user of Beyoncé’s internet I didn’t know that the Netflix movie We Have a Ghost existed until the day it was released. It’s a horror-comedy, a genre I’m a fan of, featuring a cast…
