. @CoxHelp labeling 2 days (so far) without internet access “intermittent interruptions” is the highest type of gaslighting

@taboofinance How do you feel about salads and bowls? Mediterranean food is also one of my hot weather faves.

actors are on strike, writers are on strike, teamsters are on strike, hotel employees are on strike, grad students are on strike, health care workers are on strike... can we realize there are deep systemic issues in this country yet

I’m very disappointed in the swag surf I just witnessed at the BET Awards. Who is in that audience right now?? And hip hop Jesus wept

@LexiBSpeaks with the spot on commentary, per usual

[LexiBSpeaks @LexiBSpeaks]

Sending prayers to the families of these 5 people AND acknowledging that this type of media attention, military support and science expert commentary is only happening because of financial privilege.

These two thoughts can be in the same reality. #implosion

@naima @MindaHarts I’m definitely part of the problem 😭

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A violinist played for 45 minutes in a New York subway. A handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist managed to raise about $30 in tips.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston and the seats averaged about $100.

The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued.

There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow.

Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it’s telling you that where you are isn’t enough!

Go where you are appreciated and valued.
Know👏 Your👏 Worth👏

@princeprosecco Just fine 🙌🏾

@RonRonGrown May the odds be ever in your favor. When I lived in DC, the school, job, and other questions to gauge pedigree were v common (and off-putting)

@hollyrpeete Omg! Yes to the accent and this line. Hubby and I are prepping for our first baby and the number of times we’ve said “It’s just a poop-ay” in the last few weeks… 😂

@HarrietEve9 I was thinking the same thing yesterday after the game.
