Even promising you mean well does not make you immune to admonition. I screwed up tonight. I don’t have a lane, and weaved into someone else’s. Folks, I maybe, probably love you. I might not do this SM anymore because I’m personally bad at it. I should’ve shut my mouth.

I’m watching Michelle Obama talk to her husband and brother… whew. I grew up in a cult. But the Mr.s answers has made me see that how I was raised and my subsequent rejection of the weak males( Hegsethtypes) early did not save me as a young man, but eventually it did help me become a better person

Ok… I’m reposting this for a reason. Guy is right, basically. But I did this bcuz my wife is Hungarian. Became a full citizen in time for us to to Algiers point to vote early for KH. We went as a family, kid in tow. ( we got official married there ). We can do this, y’all. We can. We just have to!

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool

is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar

is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

I don’t have threads anymore bcuz eff Zuckerberg. But it was the one place I could talk shop with chefs. I felt like I’d nearly built community with other ppl in my business. I like Bluesky a lot more, but I miss that.

this is my nephew's homework and i'm gonna cry

Elementary school homework with the alphabet at the top. The question says: imagine you are a wizard with a magic wand. What kind of spells would you cast? What magical things would you do?

A child's handwritten answer: If I was a wizard I would make life easy. because there will be no wars and no crimenals. I will disapear every bad guy in the world so no one will get hurt.

There is a drawing of a blue sky, a yellow sun, a black wizard with a wand in his hand, and a crowd of people. There's a caption bubble with the wizard saying no wars, and a caption bubble over the crowd that says everybody cheers

Of all the spiritual music I have enjoyed and been uplifted by, from Utah Phillips, to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, to the B.B and C.C. to Kirk Franklin to Sweet Honey in the Rock- I still come back over and over to Sam Cooke singing “Change is Gonna Come”.

Last weekend I took the kindergartener over to bayou St. John to practice fishing. Nice lil 100 minutes. I stepped in accidentally to a hole which soaked my left kitchen shoe in swamp water essentially. I left said shoe to dry, deeply scrubbed my foot, but I gotta put that shoe back on for work😭

Just me, personally, I didn’t think OBAA was good. Teyana Taylor was very good in her role, but putting her character in that position was a choice. A bad choice. It felt gross and not funny. The intention was muddled by that choice. I fed Sean Penn a few years ago- he was an asshole.

I think I’ve said this before, but the biggest reason New Orleans is home comes from our kid. “Everyone came from Africa so we are all Black,daddy” “ some of us have light skin”. Today he asked for a dap from sous chef who has a mixed girl kid who has become his dear friend. He CORRECTED THE DAP.

At best, this man is annoying. At worst, some few ppl will listen to him spew yt supremacy disguised as middle ground politics. Mr. Cain who I deeply disagreed with, was at least a competent businessman. Steve is a sound bite prince, not a serious leader. I’ll not speak again on this. Not my lane.
