Single Card Won’t Decline

Happy 2022, y’all. I am trepidatiously wishing you all an amazing year during these end times.

Written Jan 1, 2022. Question to the adult African daughters who are expected to spend a lot of time at home (where you grew up) during the holidays. When do you get things in your own, adult, home done? When do you get to decompress?! @SpicyMayo (IG) was saying that there’s no excuse not to clean our floors before the new year but my floors are dirty, babe. I went home (where I grew up) and did mad labor. Got here (adult home), decompressed, then work started. Shit is not getting cleaned for another couple of days due to poor boundaries and eldest daughter labor standards.

I just changed my sheets and had only two pillow case covers for four pillows.  My single card ain’t declining these days so I covered my two and the other two are irritating my peripheral vision.

As such, I’m back on the dating apps. Tressie McMillan’s book ,Thick, talks about “knowing your whites,” and I swear I know my whites on these dating apps. I can tell which ones have white supremacist dicks (shoutout to John Mayer) and the ones who are into the swirl. I’m just kidding, I really can’t tell. I’m often surprised by who sent me a like. Even though swiping right doesn’t even mean they aren’t racist or problematic…

Done being ignant now.

Be Blessed.
