I really dug “Girls Trip.” I’ve been a fan of @TiffanyHaddish since I heard about her great charity work on @unqualified. @ReginaKing was wonderful, @IAMQUEENLATIFAH too. Also really dug @jadapsmith ’s character going from very pent up to very misbehaving. Very funny! | Tagged: tweet

@alycit I recommend giving this feeling tons of time. I also (sorry?) disconnected from the ecosystem. I didn’t want to reminisce or trade what-ifs. I signed up for coursera courses. I wrote fun code, fixed my home tech-life and let my sole soul guide me to when I ought emerge. | Tagged: tweet
