This bad art friend is just going to be Carole Baskin all over again, isn’t it? Don’t answer that. I already know.
I already angered half the white women with tiger king. It is probably best I sit this out.
I just hope that one day your culture finds a personality type outside the passive aggressive/girl boss dichotomy.
YOU CANNOT JUSY CLAIM SOMEONE IS YOUR FRIEND. Sorry. That was backing up on me. I am also leaving the obvious racial politics to my Asian American friends to handle. Just know that I see them.

In a huge case of historical amnesia I forgot that my birthday is always during NASCAR back home. 😭😭😭
Kicking it in a motel in the middle of race main drag doesn’t scream TressieSeason.
Why am I doing this

I’ve mentioned my friend explaining the world to me this way and how much it shifted my perspective on people. Social media obviously heightens the effect but all analog media did it to a certain degree. To many people, you are just a minor character in their life’s movie.
I have been on the receiving end of people who fixated on me as a character in their movie. Not the mundane microcelebrity stuff which I obviously developed and accept. I mean the personal stuff. It is NOT fun or flattering.
And all of it sucks but far and away the most aggressive and persistent has been from white women. Not commenting on the story at this point but the phenomenon of being the target of someone’s narcissistic script.

I know these kinds of tweets are catnip for The Discourse. I usually ignore them because they always feels like White People Problems(tm). But I feel compelled to comment on an $18k mortgage. 😂😂😂wut
Also it’s weird that people are focusing on the nanny’s salary. I assure you that the nanny is the only one in this scenario who is earning every penny of that money.
Assuming a 30 year at prime interest rate with standard down payment (which lol that’s a joke at this level), you’re talking a $5.2m or so mortgage. 😂😂

If you want to see my lose my ish, drop urgent deadlines into my workflow. I will pay triple to pull the plug every damn time. That's probably not a great way to conduct business but here I am, a flawed subject.
I do this thing where I forecast a month out, a quarter out, a year out. I know what my deadlines are. And then people will pop up with some nonsense about how you need to scan these EIGHT THINGS RIGHT NOW OR A CAT DIES and I will just get up and walk out before I entertain it.
Drives me up a wall.

Denzel is firmly rooted in his community. If you think he went ham on this white woman at his job, well.
You don’t get to Denzel’s age living outside the parole system because you go HAM on white women at work. She would need to show me tape.
Denzel Washington was born in 1954. Show me the tape, American Girlboss.
