🎂🍾🎤Today is the birthday of one of my favorite singers! In 2020 for our 25th anniversary, we couldn’t celebrate like we wanted to with everyone being inside for the pandemic. Well, our friend @officialjeffreyosborne agreed to come have a socially distant driveway sunroof top serenade for this milestone moment!!! We will never ever forget this act of selfless friendship… and sang our wedding song Love Ballad ! Who does this?? 🥹🥹🥹Happy birthday to you, JO!! Your voice still sounds like it’s 1976 when you first dropped this iconic single! #HappyBirthday #JeffreyOsborne #LoveBallad
Question: What’s your favorite smash from JO??
My heart is completely shattered. 💔💔💔Poor Ryan…We cannot afford to call the police when our loved ones are in mental health crisis situation…They will likely shoot to kill first and ask questions later. They’re not equipped to de-escalate and have compassion so for our young people with autism when they are in a crisis situation there needs to be some kind of trained mental health counselor that comes out on these calls to de-escalate. We simply have to find this resource. We can’t keep losing our young people and we also can’t be scared to call 911 when there’s a crisis. But we absolutely must let authorities know about the autism -not that it will necessarily change the outcome…🥺🥺🥺🥺
We simply shouldn’t have to worry that they’re going to end up dead. I’m very sure this family was scared to death and just never thought that calling 911 would result in their loved one being shot to death. Many will look at the video and say well Ryan was charging the cop with a garden tool, and the cop was scared what could’ve been done. There are many ways to de-escalate, and there are so many non-lethal weapons. Why can’t they use those?!
I used to have nightmares about this EXACT thing happening to my son…prayers out to this poor family. #autism #communitypolicing #mentalhealth
Rest In Peace Beautiful Ryan Gainer 💔💔💔💔
I didn’t know you, but I DO know you. You remind me so much of my RJ. And when he was exactly the age you were when you were killed , 15-he had a very similar mental health crisis in public . We were at a concert venue and he started freaking out in the parking lot because there was something that he wanted to do that we couldn’t let him do. He was at once confused, angry frustrated he couldn’t express his self. Complete sensory overload. He didn’t understand and he started throwing things. He started kicking the car windows of strangers ..we all tried to talk him and calm him down -we tried to grab him -but he was in an emotional rage. We were outside. I heard someone say they were going to call 911 and I’m sure the call would’ve been “black male in Inglewood being violent.” If I didn’t have my other kids with me to help me get him in the car and calm him down, it would’ve ended differently and maybe, he would’ve been killed on the spot by a cop who didn’t understand what was going on with him and feared for their safety…😢😢😢😢How do we stop this? How do we get more compassionate, nuanced law-enforcement training? . How can we get a program where someone with de-escalation and mental health training accompanies a cop on this call and then this doesn’t happen.WE MUST DO BETTER- We must stop failing our children….
I am so sorry the system failed you and killed you, Ryan🙏🏾 #communitypolicingfail #sanbernardinosheriff

Repost from @jtknoxroxs I am not ok. My heart is heavy. He is so beautiful. This is really hard. His curls. His voice. As a Neurodivergent mom to a Black Autistic son this is personal. Knox is 11. 15 is closer than we think. This is a nightmare that a lot of Black and Autistic folks can’t ever wake up from. I aim to stay tender with myself but it’s difficult to see this happen time and time again. If this is your first time posting and being vigilant about Black Autistic lives don’t let it be the last time. Listen is Black Autistic voices!.

#fbf I never felt like more of an empowered superhuman than when I was pregnant especially with my twins and then nursing them at the same time made me feel like I could do ANYTHING I wanted! I never felt so hormonally spiritually and physically aligned with who I was as a woman… not everybody could or did enjoy breastfeeding I get that! …but for me it was absolutely exhilarating and intoxicating. ( till those teeth came in 😂)
HAPPY #internationalwomensday 💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼🦾💐

#mancrushmonday when I tell y’all the obsessive crush I had on this boy when I was 11 was nothing nice. Foster Sylvers was the cutest thing I had ever laid eyes on- I got a chance to meet him and I went full Cindy Brady, when the red light went on 🚨 IYKYK 😍 Cutest boy EVER and his voice 🫠🫠 I had a full-blown case of #BoogieFever 🤒 #fostersylvers #thesylvers
