Happy Mother’s Day to the moms of The Root.
Maiysha Kai, bringing it up to the next level, as always.
You are a good human and a good parent. Internet love.
You are pretty much me, although to my surprise, I have found that a lot of healing is happening for me. (I don’t live in the US, which I’m sure helps.) I just feel that now the things I always knew about certain people, they can no longer hide, because crisis makes everybody honest. And I therefore can finally make…
I am really lonely. I was lonely before; it’s much worse now. And because I was lonely before, I made all these plans for things I wanted to do in 2020 (which in and of itself is a big deal because for a lot of reasons, I was too depressed to make plans for years - when I was in therapy, my therapist would try to…
Another day of empty minded, hard hearted basic trolls commenting on things they are too obtuse to grasp on a site they claim to hate about people they claim to hate. Mad because they have been called out AGAIN for theft. They sentient fuckery. Poor confused critters, thanks for the clicks.

I’m doing my best but it’s hard not to feel some resentment. Started working at a local grocery chain and then 3 weeks in *BOOM* pandemic. I keep going in because 1)I need to make money and 2)If I don’t go to work my community doesn’t eat.

I know both of those can be difficult to come by…
I’m holding on, but I kinda *have* to. My daughter is showing signs of anxiety creeping in (worrying about random things for hours on end, getting despondent, etc.). Ain’t gonna help if I’m in that shit with her (though I help her work through it).
Love that song! I’ll see your A-Ha and raise you Modern English “I Melt with You”.
A-Ha “Take on Me”
Victim blaming is a cornerstone of oppression.
Welp, you can’t be a black girl without one hair catastrophe. Good thing it grows back and YouTube tutorials exists. As does Zoom/Skype/pick a medium with mom’s stylist I imagine..

I can’t believe how quickly they sold out!! Indoor gardening is seriously getting me through this crisis. I was so excited to see other women like me doing the exact same thing. I hope they make a killing, it's a wonderful business idea!
