Between us I’m actually kind of proud of how hard ideologues & professional contrarians have to work to make me seem unreasonable. Every day I get some news hit or comment that amounts to, “OMG YOU SAID SOMETIMES A THING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS.” And you know, that’s a skill.

And I laugh because they legitimately think I am in the room because I’m like sassy or something. Everybody is so racist and sexist lol
One time a famous rapper told me about going to business meetings and they have a table full of champagne. At 9 am. And he was laughing saying, “my man, I eat clean and also it is breakfast and this is a brand meeting.”
My sister has me watching Love and Marriage Huntsville and she is living to regret this.
First of all, I hit pause so we could look at the poverty rate in Huntsville. Because this ostentatious Black wealth with a heavily working class inflection got me confused.
Then someone named Melody hired interns and demonstrated an alarming disregard for responsible supervision. So I hit pause to explain that unpaid labor should have an educational experience to compensate for the exploitation
