Dear Grammarly,
You are doing too f*#%ing much.
All your beta suggestioms are carrion wrapped in rotting bananas, dipped in old milk.
Sincerely,

*weeps for Mamdaniβs 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

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!

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.

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!!

Toni Morrison said, βSometimes you donβt survive whole, you just survive in part.β Still, that survival can mean a hell of a lot.
As Audre Lorde said, βWe must remember and comfort ourselves with that fact that survival is, in itself, a victory.β

Our expensive child is fumdraising to roll his friendsβ 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
