Why do black men get sexier as they get older? 🥴 Black men are so Top Tier bro! 😍 I love my black men 🥰

It's a privilege to be able to pay bills, health/life ins, have a well-stocked pantry, & enjoy the comforts of a secure home. The economy is in shambles & inflation rates are a scam. All material things aside, being able to survive isn't something to take for granted. It's real

where else is it supposed to go? lol

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

I was going to work on my dissertation today but my sinuses said otherwise.

I had just enough energy to fry some catfish nuggets though

A white woman just told me she loves that I have the confidence to wear my natural hair. I told her, I love the fact that she’s confident enough to wear hers too.

She got the point. Very quickly.

I have so many things now that I prayed for years ago. And for that, I am grateful.

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Funny how I often tell others that your journey is your own and not to compare your path to others

Only to find myself beating myself up for moving too slow.

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Slow and steady wins the race, right?

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Still here

112 years ago today, Franz Kafka captured the academic experience

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

I overdid it this week and triggered my asthma and lost 5 days of work. I’m trying not to beat myself up. I was doing good and this really messes up my timeline for this semester.

I really want to get finished but today I’m a little sad.

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Nope, I feel like trash today too 😩

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

I got so much done Tuesday just to be physically wiped out on Wednesday.

I haven’t had issues with my asthma for years but yesterday…. 0/10

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Time stops for no one.

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

The hardest part about this process is not beating myself up for all the time I feel like I’ve wasted.

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

These meetings today are going to kill me.

Who makes a meeting from 4:30 to 7 😭 what could possibly take that long

[• Lissah • @iamthecreatress]

Since VDay is over now can I please bully y’all into posting sweet sentimental shit like that more often? I need this lovey dovey shit all year!

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Is it perfection is the enemy of progress? I mixed up two quotes here (comparison is the thief of joy) but you get the point

[Sam @SUNSHIN3_]

Perfection is the enemy of joy.

The work you do in school will not be your best work. Your best work is yet to come.

You’re doing just fine. Exceptional even.

[Simonee Blanco⁷ @SimoneeBlanco]

Just finished giving a group presentation that I thought I did horribly on.

But according to everyone else, including the professor, I ate my parts up.

Maybe I need to stop thinking about perfection. I’ll never reach it. Maybe I need to be happy with what I can do

Read my post @contextsmag

Sociology has ALWAYS been political. As the discipline faces increasing scrutiny we should question not if sociology is political but if the discipline's systems should move toward justice based politics or politics that justify systems of inequality.
