DiOSA

Not really craving it much either tbh

 I have to flip this song very soon. Lowkey might be next on the chop and sample block.  I also adore the lore that this song is about Nivea while she was Lil Wayne. She is so worthy of this adoration. Nivea had that THING. K Fed, Wayne and The Dream too apparently. 

Blood Orange - Bad Girls (2012)

I also needed to be held but you didn't do that in those times either. Its not a tit for tat thing but I can't beat myself for times I should've been better when you were also MIA when I needed to be held. We both learned a lot about how to be a lover. 

The AI summary of my morning pages from today, October 19 2026: You felt deeply rattled by a dark, almost apocalyptic pressure in the world, from politics to the eerie sense that everyone else was sleepwalking while you stayed painfully aware. Even so, you kept returning to the bright anchors—your sweet class of kids, the ocean, dancing, music, workouts, and community—as proof that joy was still real and worth protecting.

  People say "you had to be there" but to be a teenager in Chicago in the early 2010s you just had to be there to know the momentum and omnipresence of Chance the Rapper and his mixtapes. 10 Day never got a huge amount of air play out of me but Acid Rap was just 100% the sound of the city from the Southside suburbs to Westside hoods. The cover art alone is so nostalgic for me. This was the sexiest song to me when I was 15. Takes me right back to first period freshmen year of high school; sitting in the chair attached to my desk daydreaming....

pull up on me if u wanna get cozy 

   Pharaoh Sanders - Harvest Time (1977)

I've been taking this pattern making course at FIT the Fashion Institute of Technology. The class was a birthday gift to myself costing $380 for 4 three hour long classes. A month of showing up being extremely present and learning the fundamentals of a complex craft. My teacher is very strict and extremely blunt. If you're not doing it right it will be noticed and remarked upon. I took this class because I wanted to know the basics of making patterns for clothes. I have reverence for the craft. Naturally, this was going to be a challenge because the technical side of making has never been my strong suit. For reference I cannot cut a straight line and I quit sewing class at Parsons after the first lesson because I could not sew a basic stitch. Intuitiveness and non-perfection is what makes my work work. I have no Virgo placements. I am air and fire baby--swirling, conjuring and magician-ing.  Yesterday I had no gas in the tank after a long but successful day at work. I put a lot...

  One of my Chinese coworkers said she doesn't really find Black men to be her type but she saw one she found very cute. Tell me why she said he looked like Donald Glover lmao.  Asian women 🤝 Childish Gambino 

  Can't say I'm a fan of Logic by any measure (no shade) but this song has always fucking SLAPPED. Unreleased, Soundcloud 2010's this was the moment for me. That Adele sample is delicious. Bravo

 

  This video is forever printed in my mind because 1) it was the very first thing I watched on my TV after returning from Mexico City 2) HOTTTTTTT AFFFF omfg 3) Indiana420 directed it and I love when he does rap girl videos (see Ran Out by JT)
