@BoneKnightmare Heeey!!!! I've missed ya! What have you been up to?🥰 Hell I don't know what I did? I became popular while being quiet. Maybe I need to shut up more often. See how many more folks follow me.😂

Omg! I haven't been over this way in a minute. Had to take a loooong mental health break. Arguing everyday is not good for the psych or the soul. I hope everyone is doing well and thriving. Love y'all my ADOS family. 🥰🥰
@TorraineWalker Errm…Shirley Chisholm disparaged Black Americans ADOS, describing our responses to violent anti-BA racism as “overreactions,” and while in Congress, Chisholm also undermined and double crossed other members of the CBC repeatedly….
White people's obsession with Russia and China will never not be weird to me. I guess because they haven't been able to run up in those people countries and steal all their s*** the way they've done everywhere else on the planet really pisses them off.
@TajMarie17 I also add those who keep voting in these one foot in the grave Representatives need to be dealt with as well because why are you voting for these people. I think at this point when people are running for office they need to have an age beside their name on the ballot.
@TajMarie17 You know what's crazy? This is the same issue I see in the church. Old people not wanting to hand the baton to the next generation. Gatekeeping what's not theirs to gate keep. It's infuriating the way some of the older generation has kneecapped progress by refusing to step down.
@wishbumpycoulda There's this cheesy chicken pasta that I got but it's soo good. It reminds me of Olive Gardens chicken carbonara. we are going to add shrimp to it next time we make it 😋
@MabelMo926 It's always the same for these capitulating negros. they don't want to fight for shit. Always seeking the easiest road. Frankly Dem or Republicans it was always going to be a fight. He sounds as stupid as he looks. He can take his weak ass on!🖕🏾
