These days, if you even so much as let out a light cough or sneeze, and people look at you like you need to be hospitalized. We all know the feeling of trying not to cough or sneeze in public. No Rona here!
âAll Lives Matterâ
When they say âAll lives matterâ, but that was never the argument in the first place.

Instagram Users After Posting a Black Square
In times like these, people have a difficulty with how to use their social media.

âNawâ - Rosa Parks

Wait, so you think that the LGBTQIA community being recognized with the same respect as every other human is leftist? You think that basic humanity is leftist? Wow.

You notice a lot these firecrackers that have been going off, especially at night? People have different ideas about why this is happening, and why itâs happening now. Truth is, we just want to sleep in peace again.

In my ideal life, I speak up to 100 African languages. I write lesbian erotica in any language of my choice and its translated 100 ways. I drive only red cars everywhere I go. I eat a perfectly high vibrational diet of fruit and raw veg. I live on a mountain overlooking the ocean. I travel the world from tropical beach to tropical beach hosting Lesbian Love Fests. I am insanely rich off of my words!
