Iran said they are beyond diplomacy. So. Let them keep telling the truth.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

I post this a few times a year and I'm late for 2026.

Ultimately, my folks didn't have to "teach" me about dating because my raising set the baseline.

I'm sure there were some specific conversations I don't remember now... but generally it was treated as a natural part / progression of life.

I'm a firm believer in following the kid's lead.

No need to encourage/ push if they're not interested yet, but if they're precocious in that area (πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ), guidance is better than restriction. Can't act like life isn't happening.

I'd have been HELL if they'd tried to lock me in the proverbial basement

Not "taught" per se, but definitely allowed. The teaching piece was more about making sure I was treated well, discovering what I liked, etc.

Overall, there weren't a bunch of weird rules about boys. And I leaned towards serial monogamy vs having a rotation. That came much later. πŸ˜„

Sephora.

I don't do shit with my hair & I outsource my nails. Plus Sephora feeds my fragrance addiction. 😩

I kinda like the black and white too... Ulta feels...teenagey.

That's not bad. Just not my preference.

Sephora carries more brands that I like.

DHS Seeks Access to Massive Employment, Salary and Family Database Legally Restricted to Use in Child Support Cases The Trump administration’s immigration enforcers are requesting unfettered access to the government’s β€œmost powerful people-finder system,” which contains sensitive information on children and victims...

The federal government has a massive database with sensitive info for every kid involved in a state child support case -- and the current addresses of many single moms who survived domestic abuse.

So of course, Trump's DHS wants full access to it.

She also comes from a family of ppl who were almost too soft to live and be black in this place.

I think that's why so many of them passed in middle age or just beyond it.

But that's another story.

I'm protective of both of them, but I have to approach them in very different ways.

I never like to be abrasive with mom tho 'cause I know dealing with my dad is a lot.

Ugh. I fussed at my mom & now I feel bad. πŸ˜”

She's super sensitive & such a MOM mom... by me living / being alone so long & not having babies... her πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί moments can grate on me.

Lady, I take care of ME over here. I'm soft hearted to a point, but I've also had to lay some shit down 'cause survival.

Avengers: Endgame was 182 minutes and had a $356 million budget. Using Noemenomics it, would have cost $40.04 billion to make. That's more than the entire box office take from the year 2025.
