The disrespect 🤣🤣🤣

Seems like dating is the one consistent topic on all apps. Across all age groups. I can't help wondering if the loneliness of the pandemic and the fragile and transactional nature of modern-day friendships is driving the desire for romantic partnership in such droves.

Such a simple marker for a legend.

Lupe Fiasco last night at Coachella. No one wants that smoke lol. Ask Royce.

Annual mammogram and blood work before 9am.
