The grand puppies got up to be ringbearers at their other nana’s wedding. Why don’t they make star-sparkle, cake tier dresses in my size—it’s not fair!

After almost 37 years without booze, I promise sober’s easier than drunk. Who tf knew. Thanks to my son, Dev who gave me a reason, my wild-assed mother, and all the topless dancers.

Years deep into my hardest #memoir abt what went wrong but also radiantly right bet sister Lecia and me. She is now five years gone, but she’s still talking to yours truly. She was born on this day 1953. Hallelujah❤️ #SisterLove #HappyBirthdaySister

'Heaven doesn't want me, & hell's afraid I'll take over.'
--From the attitudinal shirt of Hanif Abdurraqib
When I pray for the devastated on the left coast, I conjure how hard it is to be another person, which takes me outa my noisy self. Nonbelievers say prayer doesn’t change things. But it often changes me, and I change things. #LosAngelesFire #PrayForLA #Prayer #YouDontHaftaBelieveSquatToPray
