I've been bad about keeping all of my platforms updated, also just feeling overall fatigue from everything in life lately. I'm alive. Just been drowning in work and trying to get a million things done before I take a much-needed MONTH off. Also - I got sent to Talladega over the weekend for work.

I ended up at MODE (by Flickr) for 3 days. I have... thoughts. But I also immediately took a nap and hopped on a flight to the west coast for a work trip, so I'll try to decompress and share said thoughts after I get through this week if any fellow creative is curious.

I worked 140 hours in a 2-week span for my corporate job, immediately followed by 8 shows in 7 days; 6 of which were within a 4-day span. I did rest yesterday, but I am still exhausted. My body physically hurts + I'm rocking 9 bruises and a jammed finger. My patience for bs right now is VERY thin.

I have 8 shows next week. 2 music; 6 wrestling. Also now trying to figure out portrait photo time somewhere inbetween those and the talent's own schedule. NOBODY DISTURB ME ON MONDAY, AUGUST 3. 💀💤

One of these days, we need to sit down and have a very serious conversation about how, yes, even in 2026, women of color are expected to always be "the bigger (wo)man" when men are just out here with all kinds of audacity (and often caucacity)...

My patience, especially when it comes to men in this industry and the way they talk to women when they think nobody else is watching, really needs to be studied. That said, one of these days, even I will lose my patience and I will pull up every single receipt. And it's not going to be pretty.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I think if I write a book about all of the wild and absurd shit that I have to deal with on a regular basis, I might title it: Annoyed and Hangry: A Memoir

It says a lot more about other people if they try to continuously poke holes at your work just because they're in a shite mood and seem to think you're just going to keep taking it for being the smallest in the room. Side note: I'm a Taurus and will come flying in with 1,000 receipts if I need to.

It’s been just over 5 months since Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent on Jan 7. From Minneapolis on this day 5 months ago: Posters in Uptown. Influencers w/ millions of followers and tactical helmets stand in a truck creating content at Whipple. Federal officers at Whipple. Bde Maka Ska sunset.

So I can kind of laugh about this now that we're past it, but I recently almost absolutely LOST MY SHIT in a hospital parking lot. I'm generally not a physically violent person. 1) I'm smol; can maybe get one good hit in off of adrenaline. 2) I find most physical fights pointless anyway. But ohboy

Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand, given its name to honor my ancestor Inthawichayanon (or Inthanon), Grand Prince and 7th ruler of Chiang Mai. His remains reside there for anyone to pay their respects.

There's so much that I'd typically be venting to Power about. We'd often talk about people always trying to do business in culture + community without ever being a part of any of it and why it never works that way. We'd often discuss racial issues and worldly affairs. But this time I can't do that.
