Sib 1 accidentally transferred $$ into sib 2’s account.

The family chat has not known peace since 6:15 am.

Me, I am voting we all divide it up so everyone gets $12 for the emotional distress this whole thing has caused.

Boosting! This would be a great nonprofit or social entrepreneurship idea for someone.

(Allergens and special diets are also an issue for food relief programs. It’s complicated!)

And for a person who loves typos* this is why I can’t quite get rid of it.

I hope they do better.

*See evidence above.

Dear Grammarly,

You are doing too f*#%ing much.

All your beta suggestioms are carrion wrapped in rotting bananas, dipped in old milk.

Sincerely,
An old head.

The number of random Kenyan/ Afghanistan/ Ethiopian/Zimbo kids who call me auntie.

*weeps for Mamdani’s aunt*

My momma bestie is my auntie
My auntie friend that go to her church is also my auntie
My 75 year old cousin... is also my auntie

"Auntie" is what happens when you understand the expansive proposition of family

"That's not your aunt" is what happens when you live outside of restorative community

Good morning, beloved.

Never use your thoughts & prayers as substitutes for your commitment & action.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Yeah, that has a lot to do with it, too! The more we let people off the hook with the plausible deniability of "I didn't know" when the idea they wouldn't know is ridiculous on the face of it, the more cover we give actual extremists!

The best thing that happened today was the nephew sending me a weather update with his location set to 5 mins away from my place.

He lives 6 states away and just decided to stop by.

I. Am. Loved.

A narrative vacuum now exists in Kenyan politics. Ruto has the least legitimacy of any president in democratic Kenyan history. He was in the process of buying legitimacy and political capital from figures like Raila. How will the political class respond to the vacuum? is my question of the day.

men are not socialized to be equitable partners.

They are socialized to believe they are dominate partners

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Gosh, @wamu.org.web.brid.gy

Did you have to air that clip about a shooting in Minnesota like that?

It seemed as if that event was happening all over again!!

A care warning, next time, please?

Toni Morrison said, β€œSometimes you don’t survive whole, you just survive in part.” Still, that survival can mean a hell of a lot.

As Audre Lorde said, β€œWe must remember and comfort ourselves with that fact that survival is, in itself, a victory.”

Perestroika in Paris has to be the most fanciful book I have ever read.

I hate the word *anxiousness*

It’s my brain’s equivalent of moist.

Let’s stop making it happen.

I propose we use angst or anxiety.

Our expensive child is fumdraising to roll his friends’ houses.

Yes, this child is hitting up uncles and aunties to buy bath tissue for him to go throw at houses.

And he has a job.

But his $$ is for college. Mine is for buying tissue to throw at houses + his bottomless well of art supplies
