I am beginning to feel ‘snappy’ each time I hear something to the extent of “we cannot let this movement fall by the wayside this time.” I wake up Black every single morning, I’ve built armor towards ignorance and hate since birth. That’s a privileged statement and I have no desire to see anymore Black bodies sacrificed to keep the media’s attention. I recognize the overcorrection needed in DEI, but it just shows how far we are to this becoming our standard ways of working.

I literally rolled my eyes in a management meeting when I heard the broad strokes of the DEI imitative. When asked why, I was blunt and said the DEI is being helmed by white folks at a 4:1 ratio. The zoom was quiet after that comment. #zerofuckstogive So I hear you.

Newbie question: I’m looking to lose the last ~15 lbs and put on some lean muscle. Female, new to weightlifting. I’m getting a lot of conflicting advice online. Currently Im planning to eat in a deficit (CICO), and do a fully body routine focused on compound movements 3x a week. I already do cardio 3/4x per week. Is this ideal? Should I be lifting more? Im seeing some people say lift 6x a week and some say you need recovery days

I’m thinking of buying a designer belt and have been eyeing this one from Dior. Is it a waste to spend $660+tax on a plain black belt w just the logo? I also considered Gucci but think it’s too everywhere. Also thinking Hermes but may need to justify myself for the price hike. I’m 30F and want to get something that is versatile (dress up / casual) and long lasting in terms of style. Appreciate any recs!

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.
