A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.
Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, itโs probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, Iโm sorry and also welcome.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

A non-comprehensive list of things my parents thought were wonderful resources when I was a child, and which they credit for my education and passion about science, that they subsequently voted to dismantle and destroy:
* National Parks
* PBS
* Public libraries
* Public schools
* NASA

Harnessing my powers of telepathy to convince Mike Brown to fire Zac Taylor and send the Flacco car back to Cleveland to pick up new Bengals coach, Kevin Stefanski.

โBe kind, be involved, believe in your art,โ he said. โAt a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesnโt matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if itโs that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.โ

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. Itโs a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators canโt control. Thereโs no one solution to this, because the problem isnโt just technological. Itโs cultural. Itโs misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Did we ever know our window was open? 2021 came out of left field ๐ I don't think we have a window with Zac, we will make the playoffs in spite of him and it will be flukey if we go.

I like sports and cheering for teams but I LOVE football. Since I was a little girl. If I ever move on from the Bengals I would have to choose another team.

I almost walked away from The Bengals at the end of Marvin Lewis/ top of Zac Taylor. And then we drafted Burrow and it was fun. I just don't know life without the Bengals- so many memories wrapped up in it.
The Reds are a great distraction on TV everyday ๐

Not right now, I need a break ๐ญ BUT I love football and in the end I love the Bengals so I will be excited next season when it will be *OUR YEAR* (which is every year in the beginning). Now it is time to focus on my other frustrating teams- including the REDS! (IT IS OUR YEAR!)
