@marybdavies Love and miss you too friend! <3

Started the day by launching my company's site. Leading into a 2nd meeting w/ a major potential investor. Leading into rehearsal for a reading for a major playwright. Leading into teaching kids about math. If this isn't a day for "using all the gifts", idk what is... #manifest

My autocorrect kept changing “Kweens” to “Karen’s”…

This, too, is gentrification. 🤦🏾‍♂️😭🤣

No one at all:

Adele: *alone in a room, with a gust of wind and a song*

You know your hearing might be…questionable if you’re standing in a CVS waiting for your flu shot and hear a song with a chorus singing “Kiss The Rain” and think “Oh it’s so nice Issa Rae had a song written about her!”

@MilesWhorales I love this journey for you.

…Not this Pop-Up Summer Stor(m)e™ literally rolling through like *in J Lo inauguration voice* “LETS GET LOOUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDD!!!!”

Quick question: Does @DisneyStudios have an animated story of a young Black prince in the works, or are stories about Black Boy royalty still seen as “unmarketable”? Asking for… me.

Preferably sans racial trauma or where the Black character is an animal 90% of the movie… 👀👀

I’ve subscribed to cool science/history accounts and they’ve really imbued Twitter with the only sense of value I’ve found it to have since I started this on again/off again journey in 2000-something… 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Not sure which yt gays need to hear this, but if you’ve ever put (or considered putting) “No blacks. No fats. No femmes.” on a dating profile, @LilNasX is not for you.

Keep his name out yo mouth and his posts off yo stories. You don’t get to appropriate this one. Kthnxbai.

@davenportlights Post-my dc trip next week?

[Martavius Parrish @ImNotOctavius]

I literally switched from "I need to sit down & regrow this bank account" to "I wonder who's free for drinks tomorrow" quicker than Farrah was introduced to/kicked out of Destiny's Child and, truth be told, that's why I'm trash.

For both the thought process and this tweet. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Martavius Parrish @ImNotOctavius]

Y’all ever randomly wake up and think about something that makes you upset?

Like, Degrassi really just shot Drake in the spinal cord and gave a teen testicular cancer… and for what? AND FOR WHAT!?!?

We’ve reached the “My bathroom’s hot, so now I’m sweating on the toilet” NYC season.

Welcome and good luck.

I'm a little late, but the Duke gave me a feature! https://t.co/wZurCDeMCe

[Martavius Parrish @ImNotOctavius]

Have we reached the point where we can stop qualifying things as “socially distanced” or “vaxxed [insert social setting]” on social media out of fear of judgement? Because:
1) You ain’t in my house and if I had suspicions you wouldn’t be 🤷🏾‍♂️ and
2) People lie...

Asking for me.

[Martavius Parrish @ImNotOctavius]

Today has been INSANE, with no signs of slowing down in the coming months...

But the bills are paid and for that, we are grateful.

Can't say you're hungry, then be mad when the plate arrives.
