Recently got all my old t-shirts from my highschool drama club days back from my dad. Everyone involved in the show would wear them to school on the same day to advertise. I spent pretty much everyday after school from freshman to senior year of highschool in the auditorium or in B116(Theatre classroom). Truly a theatre kid. PS the green one is from middle school https://www.instagram.com/p/CCmtpCPpXwo/?igshid=1qovbma9c2gdk

There is so much energy on SM I need a break. Black people take a break when you need to this fight will mentally, emotionally, and physically exhaust you and that is what they're counting on. Stay safe and protect your magic. #blacklivesmatter✊🏾 #amplifymelanatedvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-0k_AjTZs/?igshid=1mv3nr7oajil9

I made this meme because Fraiser is my sense of humor.

The confidence of little black girls that know they can dance is a different type of energy and we love to see it.

So unnerving when you are watching TV and start feeling movement coming for inside the couch. WHY is he like this?!? (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DBT5Bj23H/?igshid=1y0dk2m5oovew

Being black is weird sometimes like I don’t think I’ll ever get used to people hating me but wanting to be me at the same time

Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOU’RE IN.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.

Featuring Helpful Sections such as:

Death Certificates – What you need, why you need them, and how to get them

Prepare to spend a long and miserable time on the phone

What the Everloving Fuck is Probate

Some Simple Dos and Don’ts

Shitty Mad Libs – Templates for writing Obituaries and Memorials

How to plan a non-religious death party

So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit

This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.

It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.

I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.

Good luck!

(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)
