the time is always ripe to talk about GETTING COPS OUT OF TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. every part of the experience of driving would be safer. traffic stops are the most common encounter between civilians and cops! also police use them to extract money from people, esp poor people!

Erika Alexander is featured this coming week in #MyWorstMoment and as an aside she told me how she got not one sitcom offer after “Living Single” and this makes me livid because she truly has Lucille Ball-type talent. This moment from The Flavorettes makes me laugh every time

I played it cool when I tweeted this story out before but the gooey truth is that it's my first NYT byline (!!!) and I've been popping bottles of bubbles to celebrate every chance I get. It took ~12 months from assignment to publication + worth every min 🥳
