every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

As always, we can count on @jamilahlemieux.bsky.social to stand in the trenches with and for Black women. (Maya Angelou going to visit Mike Tyson in prison after he was convicted of sexually assaulting Desiree Washington just made my jaw drop.)

They’re consistent, convenient, and tasty. And at a time of food recalls and outbreaks, they’re one of the riskiest things you could possibly eat.

If there is any old man I’d want beat up, it’s Mike Tyson. And yet, I did not enjoy seeing him get beat up.

I interviewed Mike Tyson at length some years ago but decided not to run it. I asked him directly about Robin Given and Desiree Washington and he denied the allegations. Between listening to him and reading his book, I didn’t believe him at all

There is a man over 45 in my mentions defending Mike Tyson’s abuse of Robin Givens because she was a “gold digger,” and this is why a heterosexual Gen X man will never cross the threshold of my home

I hope that white boy kicks Mike Tyson’s ass. He’s an abuser and a rapist and the whole community has basically given him a pass like we do most famous Black men.
