Overheard at the doctor’s office: “Alex Haley wouldn’t be able to touch my line. My family’s very diverse. We even have a Korean lady. Not everyone in my family is white.”
“But you are …”
“Oh no, honey. I’m (proceeds to claim percentiles of random ethnicities).”
Atlanta's Music Midtown festival has been cancelled due to Georgia's gun laws. The festival attempted to ban weapons, but does not have the standing to supersede the law and enforce its own ban https://rol.st/3zM5OoP
I need everyone who approaches me today to understand that I’ve listened to #RENAISSANCE *multiple* times already. If you aren’t ready for that energy, best leave me be. ✌🏽
This is immensely frustrating.
CDC says mask rules are up to local jurisdictions; local jurisdictions say they can’t change rules without instructions from CDC; we’re supposed to make our own decisions but testing and reporting resources are vanishing… good luck!

I woke up early to get ahead on work/email but ended up falling down a #PinkSauce rabbit hole. That’s not a spicy euphemism. People really out here buying mystery concoctions from strangers and EATING THEM! 🤦🏽♀️
If Brexit was worth the 6 years of social, economic and political chaos you put us through, you would be celebrating the benefits, not telling us to move on.

And it’s not cool bonus stuff. It’s kitschy glassware & Clemson memorabilia.
Now our living room is a staging area for a mountain of SOMEONE ELSE’S boxes. And I’m wondering which of our things are missing.
Since I haven’t seen some of this shit in 6 months, I have no idea! 😭
We started moving back into our house Friday.
When the movers kept bringing box after box into or house, I knew there was no way all that shit was ours. Because HALF OUR THINGS WERE CRUSHED BY A GOTDAMB TREE.
Turns out I was right. Half of the boxes belong to someone else. 🤦🏽♀️
Also, one of the things I’m most looking forward to is being reunited with my Tushy bidets. It’s been a rough 6 months for my 🍑.
BUT! (pun kinda intended) I noticed there were no bidets on the toilets during my visit. I might have had a Liam Neeson moment. 😬
So 6 months after being displaced from my home by a massive fallen tree, I was finally able to start moving a few things back in.
Not even 15 minutes after I stepped through the front door, I messed up one of the walls. I am a menace. 🤦🏽♀️#Treehouse2ElectricBoogaloo
Maybe these earthquakes are my mother rolling over in her grave about the fact that our rights are being stripped away on a daily basis. 🤷🏽♀️#TooSoon?
“The Handmaid’s Tale was already the reality for Black women under slavery. That is the world white supremacists want a return to, but now white women are included in their monstrous equation.”

At this point, earthquakes are just a common occurrence. They aren’t even rating on my panic/trauma scales anymore.
Like, is the roof still intact? Yeah? Carry on then.
Is anyone dead? No? Oh, well, alright then. 🤷🏽♀️
Roe may be gone, but abortion is still available in many states. The National Abortion Hotline can help you find a provider in another state, arrange travel, and pay for your care: 1-800-772-9100. https://latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-06-24/illegal-in-alabama-legal-in-georgia-women-in-red-states-navigate-a-chaotic-abortion-landscape…
If you’re in a state that just banned abortion, DO NOT reach out to these people who are offering to let folks stay at their place if they need an abortion.
